Good Friday and Midnight Mass used to do it to me. I think they must not use as much incense at a time as they used to, because now it doesn't bother me at all.

"Flurry tells a funny tale about he and one of his brothers grossing out their dad by talking about going downtown. "
All it takes to embarrass my dad is to say the word "sex." My mom, brother, and I once just started inserting the word randomly into a conversation in a restaurant with my dad and his face was beet red and I thought he was going to get up and leave. It was hilarious!

One of her parents is a black lab, I assume the mother (hubby didn't tell me).
It's probably a similar case to the parentage of my other girl - a neighbor dog got loose...................
