Just going to delete it and go on. Life’s too short to get caught up in stuff like that. Since that’s not my professional email, I don’t mind.

Hubby and I were joking around yesterday. He was in my way when I wanted to pass by in the kitchen and put some dishes up. So he said “excuse me” then I said “WE’RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A FALLING OUT ABOUT THIS ARE WE ??” then we both about doubled over laughing. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. Heh.

Thank goodness we’re going to NYC at Christmas this year. Usually BIL & his wife throw an extremely fancy catered lunch at their place, with a maid to serve your plate and everything. It’s always made me a bit uncomfy. Glad we can skip it this time! Plus it gives me a whole year to forget about the situation.

**corkboard** : I’m not convinced he’d understand what I meant about the lists. I get the impression he’s not too internet-savvy. Yanno?

I almost snopesed a glurge with a forward all… but then I thought about it a minute and figured it would be better to just reply to the sender with the link. It was a more diplomatic solution, in my situation… the olds fokes, theys offends easilies.
