Corri, have I told you lately how much I love you? Everyone's comments on this thread have been so good. Yours, however, are just a step beyond that. Geeze, "I would rather hurt you honestly than mislead you in a lie." Damn that's good.
And, although you're welcome to fly to St. Louis and visit Honeypot, I'm on the other side of the state over in Kansas City. And I am ready to watch my W get her butt kicked.
As for Buddhism, I know it's a philosophy, but she did go through some ceremony whereby a lady named Khandro Rinpoche gave her a Tibetan name. I think, loosely translated it means, "she who castrates the male horse and eats its testicles with relish." And yes, Paul, I don't get the relative lack of compassion that emits from her toward me, either.
Corri, I am so sorry about your Dad. Prostate cancer sucks. It can be beaten, though. Here's to beating evil things which strike mercilessly between mens' legs.
