Or, perhaps I took a little creative license there, for humorous effect. I'm not above that.<br /><br /> I'm so sorry that we weren't the only ones to throw up at your house.However, I'm gladthat you've hardly given it a thought. I'm so glad I've thought about it repeatedly for many years. How healthy and optimistic of me...<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words, T!

A and I have barely given it a second thought. Lots of people have thrown up at our house! And if there were ever an advertisement for the benefits of spawning, your kids are it. Both are intelligent, funny, and polite, which all children should be if they possibly can be. <br /><br />Secondly, I assume that I am the insultingly incredulous so-called friend, but as you said, it's difficult to remember exactly who said or did what. I consider myself pretty optimistic, too, which is maybe why I've had such little success - if, that is, you count success in gold bars. If you count it in happiness, I'd say I'm in the 1%. What that might mean to the psychologists is anyone's guess but mine.<br /><br />- TT and Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657026960826361863noreply@blogger.com
