You don't sound very "contrary" Mary Quite Contrary. Careful or you'll ruin your image. (Must have been fun to have all of Barr's, Connelly's and Child's to feast on).

Like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. Especially Child start to almost finish, and catching up on the Connelly's I'd missed and redoing the ones I hadn't. Very few low points.

I am so still contrary, Daniel...piss off.

You Southern belles do have a lovely way of cutting the heart out of...no, I mean, cutting to the heart of the matter.

Daniel...I'm from Trenton, NJ I just live in the South. (edited to remove poor word choice) I'm definitely no belle...more like a Jersey broad.

Oh, I'd call living in the South a definite fortunate thing, just maybe not Atlanta!!

Melodie...that didn't come out the way I meant it to! I have edited...thanks!

Okay. Anybody who's from Jersey and now lives in Atlanta is definitely too tough to argue with.

Well said, Daniel.
