It's done. I applaud you for not stirring the pot at a birthday party and kudos to Brian for helping to keep you distracted from that other conversation. :)Estelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093391384545252774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-24113366962294462872008-11-10T07:51:00.000-05:002008-11-10T07:51:00.000-05:00At family get togethers we never bring up politics...At family get togethers we never bring up politics ~ there are too many different points of view ~ it would end up Bedlam :o) ~ Ally xAlly Lifewithallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09544030189857058489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-37621885834673698592008-11-09T23:51:00.000-05:002008-11-09T23:51:00.000-05:00Good for you for not stirring the pot.

I learned to keep my mouth shut if anything remotely related to women's rights was about to be discussed.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03664721949113509873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-82011144784703699352008-11-09T17:08:00.000-05:002008-11-09T17:08:00.000-05:00Mookie used to complain about night driving ... it...Mookie used to complain about night driving ... it did keep her from scooting about near the end.<BR/><BR/>As to the politics, admit it, you enjoy stirring the pot!
