my family sound related?! Are we cousins? Feel free to jump in there

Jesse, I was being facetious when I asked. However, your fleshing out the
material was pretty interesting, so, if I were to say I still didn't get it,
maybe you'd tell us more? ;+)

To balance this I can add that my older sister decided to kill herself on my
wedding day (didn't succeed) apparently because I asked her to make a
turkey. The turkey was the simplest thing I could come up with for her as
she kept asking for something to contribute. Then for my second wedding I
came darned close to trying to kill myself, so yes, I can relate.
