Shall I thank you for that, Allen?

It depends on which kind of mad Irish/Jewish politician you would have been, Fern. :-)

I think it is safe to assume you would have been the hell-raising variety, for good causes.

TC, I don't know that I ever learned as much from a series of exchanges than from this one. Thank you for keeping me on board and for being my valued teacher.

You're a "tough house" to play, Fern, but worth the effort.

I would vote for you, Fern! You are no- nonsense and do your work! I suspect it may be the highest of praise that TC calls you a " tough house" to play!

Dear Carol, I wanted dessert, but denied myself that pleasure. Then along comes the irresistible you. Delicious! ЁЯНи

I think you're somewhere in the vicinity of 1000% there, Tom.

Lordy Fern, what good trouble we can make!! I am 1/2 Irish and a bit Jewish, with some hard working German in the mix. And, obviously, mad. What fun!

I always knew we were family! (the Irish in me was through marriage, friendship and spirit).
