Fun Conversations with Family Members - Ongoing

Nana wasn't a registered nurse. She was an LPN, totally different. Just so you know.

My point was that she worked a job while feeding and caring for six kids. I don't care if the job was cleaning shit out of a toilet. She still worked.

Why was your response pissy? I was just trying to help out.

To: Always Right

Subject: Cry About It
Sometimes, as the writer, it's frustrating when, example, I write something long and (prob insufferable) about John Edwards being the best president for this country and we shouldn't care that his brown hair costs $400 to cut and I list all these reasons why he rocks and would benefit the planet and someone says, "Umm. He has blonde hair not brown." Argh.

From: Your Favorite Critic
Subject: Get Over Yourself
I just don't like inaccuracies. Who cares about haircuts?
********************************************************************************
To: Perfection On Earth
From: Evil Doer
Subject: Blah Blah Blah is All I Hear
A piece on John Edwards where someone comments about menutia like his hair color is the same to me as a piece about obesity in this country where someone comments about menutia like Nana's nursing license. Bring it up in an effort toward clarity, but neither is really the point.

You spelled *minutia* wrong.

Wow, Kate, you're related to Lori Castleman! The world's coming to an end and I'm locked up in a syntax debate!

Lieberman? How about Feingold or Durkin Robinson, there's some of the tribe that I can get behind. Lieberman? He don't know if he's washing or hanging out! Hey anti-monymous, Drop and give the US 20!

Me, I chant: It's not your fault your are related to these people. You did nothing to deserve it. Ass-hattery is not necessarily a genetic trait.
