Yes, Guennie, you are absolutely right.

As the therapists say, parents can either give their children life messages or death messages. People who think that parents are infallible don't know what they don't know....

Don't know what they don't know...

Damn... I am getting more confused as this goes on.*grins*

On second cup of coffee.

There's a great historical fiction book out there by Jeff Shaara called, Rise to Rebellion. It chronicles many of the Founding Fathers efforts to set the stage towards rebellion against England.

One of my favorite parts of the story occurs when John Adams comes back to Braintree from Philadelphia, and his wife introduces him to coffee. (Can't drink the tea, ya know...)

He first finds it a poor substitute for tea, but the more he drinks it the more he likes it!

Don't know how factual it is, but I sure love the poetic liscence.

Speaking of which, daughter Carolyn is finally home from France, and she found that no one that she observed drinks coffee. It was tea or hot cocoa.

Think I'll get another cup of coffee!
