I'm just going to tell myself that you're spellcheck gizmo took a dump as you typing this, because I KNOW you meant to type "medal". Didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?? “I know, I deserve a metal or something …”

You have opinions? Fine - implement them! Like with my wedding - the wife wanted to go all old-fashioned and traditional and not have pre-printed RSVP cards because the etiquette books from 100 years ago say you shouldn't. Fine, says I. But YOU are making a phone call to every last person who doesn't write us a lovely handwritten note to say whether or not they're coming to the wedding. And she did. And I laughed at my ex-boyfriend who went so far as to send an actual telegram to inform us that he would attend. I would have told Dave to marry someone else if that’s the crap he pulled.

Does that make sense? Gail, don’t have any doubt, I will take you up on that :)

You never would have made it through that. :) On the other hand, our wedding cakes looked remarkably similar... In my next life, I'm marrying you.

Personally, I take M. out back and threaten to put him down like a horse with a broken leg! He perks right up! Your back and forth sounds a lot like our last half hour ("uh huh" "nuh uh" "you do too own a fanny pack and I've seen you wear it with black socks and sandals!"). My recommendation Vicks rub and hot toddies. That way you don't care that you stink! Sorry, you’re down and stuck in the cold!

Vaccines for everyone this year! The MAN has two knots on his neck, too (and has been rather bitchy - and snotty - the past two days); surely it's not, though, with the shot and all. Theraflu (I think) or Vicks makes these shower fizzies that are wonderful - the steam releases all those vapor-y smells. Don't step on it, though, if you try it! It will burn a hole in your foot - just what you need on top of the flu! Feel better! Never had the flu shot ’round here; had the flu the last two years in row – all of us.

Me being ultra nice is like what other people act like on bad days. Such is life, such is Aunt Becky. Thanks, Kristin for the suggestion. Lord knows I need some new reading material! And GS, it still says Alex should be a girl based on the Chinese Zodiac. Cricket, don’t worry. Me being ultra nice is like what other people act like on bad days. Such is life, such is Aunt Becky.
