She was.  She was, indeed.   :)

And she said, no, but her dad works at the newspaper...?  ;)

 RH> I fully understand.

There's always variations in family dynamics.  We all tolerate each
other, at the very least... and work together reasonably well when the
need arises...  :)  

 NB>>> Sibling relationships can be interesting... at their best, they
 NB>>> are a true source of support for life..  :)
 RH>> I know; we're seeing how the sibling relationships are playing out in

 RH>> Support, but with differences of opinion, sometimes quite different.
 NB>> Similar here...  Definitely differences of opinion, but one learns
 NB>> which things are better left alone, and which remain necessary for
 NB>> discussion. And when to just quietly listen as others discuss...  ;)

 RH> Is it going to change the course of history as we know it or not? (G)

Yeah...   something like that...  :)   And no need to rile people by
disagreeing openly on things when it's not going to matter really.

Apparently enough gets sold that they figure it's a viable product...
