I'm sensing a potential cross-cultural disconnect, here.. For those who aren't familiar with the meaning of this question.. "Can I have your babies?" is an allusion to a stereotypical saying of (typically female) rock groupies and others.. infatuated and idolizing the person they view as almost a god.. Here, of course, it can't be taken quite so literally, but can be taken to mean something like "I am forever in your debt," or more literally, "I owe you one, Thanks more than words can say!" Hopefully I did that explanation justice.. Does that make the intent clearer? <g> (Sort of like the "pulling my leg" allusion I recently mentioned, I THINK it was on the Mdk list.. <g>) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
