I think I might be spending a tad too much time here. I saw the thread title, I opened it up and saw the first sentence (without clicking the link), and I said to myself, “OH, Talk Like a Pirate Day, isn’t that September 19?” No self-respecting housewife should know these things. Oh, well, one more reason for my kids to think I’m a dork. And btw, I don’t like rum. 😃 ---
