7. you know what my Dad used to say to my sister and i when we were kids?
and i should never wonder why i turned out the way i did--when either of us had colds and we were coughing he used to say-"It wasn't the cough that carried her off, it was the coffin they carried her off in" And he wonders why we call him "Dick" it's not just his name, it's an adjective.

3. I started to but couldn't handle the sick kid.....
I can usually deal with that kind of thing but I have a few sick family members and I'm attending a funeral Friday.

It looked interesting.
