Then there's the story about the response my husband's Grandmother gave when asked why her nightgown had fur-feather-like stuff at the bottom. "It keeps my neck warm."

Bless her, but Grandma passed away in 1963. She must have read a different book. :lol:

"He who giveth better be able to receiveth." That's the word according to MQ. Pat slapped me once and that was in my Sturm und Drang time - and honestly, I had BEGGED for it (sort of). However, we dealt with that little slide and if he (or anyone else) were to ever lay a hand on me, they better make it a good one. If I can get up again - they won't!
