I think I could afford to be a little less restrained and a little more confrontational (Patrick, are you reading this? If so, I know you're laughing). I'll have to post the joke that Tim G. from BU used to tell me--it sums up your point perfectly.<BR/><BR/><B>Martha and Jennifer</B>--Looking back on it, I should have at least gotten R to hold my hand!Mary Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06620639746694576459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1161362837320980692006-10-20T11:47:00.000-05:002006-10-20T11:47:00.000-05:00LOL at Martha! <BR/><BR/>What kind of politician would pass up kissing such a beautiful baby?!Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12506207484517033655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1161353694563075902006-10-20T09:14:00.000-05:002006-10-20T09:14:00.000-05:00I bet even if your dad is right, Jay is too...you should've done the fake-make-out.marthahttp://web.mac.com/marthalucille/iWeb/Site/Welcome.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1161351521752748642006-10-20T08:38:00.000-05:002006-10-20T08:38:00.000-05:00This reminds me of last weekend--I went with a friend to one of those skin-care-product-home-parties, which happened to be held at the home of the salesperson's parents. I was initially creeped out by all the Catholic paraphernalia on the walls, but the icing on the cake was when the father walked through the living room, looked at all of us, then looked at his daughter and said "I hope they're all Republicans!"Kat Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07869216269199415760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1161350955472413962006-10-20T08:29:00.000-05:002006-10-20T08:29:00.000-05:00NPR?? No self-respecting member of the right listens to thatliberal crap! It was a dead give away!!<BR/><BR/>Politics is all about efficiency.

Josh says I need to be less direct and learn to speak like a southern woman, kind but cutting. So, I enlisted the help of my friend from Memphis, who worships the play/movie "Steel Magnolias" and has a hadle on how I can learn to get along with my southern relatives.TLShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10229618337323388406noreply@blogger.com
