Sounds great! I hope that we will be able to do some way over due work to our home sometime soon. I have some major projects in mind! Not sure my H will find any of it fun though.

...War of Nawthern Aggression...

...the result, interestingly enough, of the faithful Northern States fighting to maintain the sanctity of the political "marriage" with the wayward Southerners!

Plan A just didn't do the job!

My mother's side is Indian (none of that "Native American" business, if you called my granny that, you would learn why we all feared her elbows!).

That line is tracable to.... a soldier from the Indian wars, then we can trace from him back to England.


Dad's side was tracable to the founding of Montreal, Canada - tracable back to 1700's France.

Both of those have family written books with stories, etc.

I traced myself back to some silly BRITS with dirty names!! [Sir "Fulke" faint and some EARL dude in 1491] Then to some jailors in Switzerland... I am English, Swiss, Dutch, Irish, and Scottish, a real Heinz 57... laugh

After letting the video play whilst I work, I have made a decision, and dub thee; "The Melster."

I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside,
ya' gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide,
Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

I feel strong about right and wrong,
And I don't take trouble for very long,
I got something deep inside of me, and courage is the thing that keeps us free,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

Well you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!



Besides the lyrics, there is your admitted propensity to rip your shirt off at the dinner table for your husband.



LET ME TELL YA, BROTHER!

Silly northerners; Plan A doesn't work if you don't eliminate love busters!

:P

Agreed, my friend!
