I have a friend who lives on a massive ranch in west texas. Every morning before she turns the kids out to play in the "back yard" she has to go out and shoot the rattlers off the porch. The irony is she's this little thing who grew up in a junior league family in Fort Worth and she's never been happier than on the range. It really ticks off her mother, though. All that proper "lady" training and all. hehehe Of course she married an Aggie, which accounts for her proper "humanization" now!

My Mother could comiserate with your friend's parents. Recently she finally admitted she no longer worries about the money she spent to send me to Stephens. Says at least I KNOW how things should be done, eventhough I live in a Red Neck world and seldom do the 'refined' things.
