Our silent, unsung hero---he does more than most can imagine.  And he does it because Epoman was his friend and trusted him.  So, I trust him with my life.  I would walk through fire for this man.   :bow;  You know how much I love you   :cuddle;  :cuddle;

I don't know Sluff personally, but from what I can tell on IHD website, he seems like a very kind hearted man that would do just about anything for anyone and tries very hard not to ever hurt anyone's feelings.    :waving;
