<DIV>Ordinarily, I would offer Donovan the courtesy of a private answer to his
queening little fit. This time, however, I intend to make my response
just as public as his post. I encourage those of tender sensibilities to
delete this message now. For bolder souls, read on, knowing that I have
had it up to my eyebrows with Donovan's petulant, ill-considered,
pseudo-pedantic tirades -- tirades which range from school bond levies
to the accreditation status of NSA to the Moscow City code. To
characterize Donovan's grasp of the facts as ignorant belligerence would
be <FONT face=Georgia>kind. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia>I am generally inclined to overlook Donovan's sorry
intellectual failings, or </FONT><FONT face=Georgia>to pity them, depending
on my current level of compassion and his </FONT><FONT
face=Georgia>current level of buffoonery. Tonight, he has gone a
bridge too far, and consequently he will receive neither pity nor
compassion. He'll get what he so richly deserves, and has been
begging for; a big fat helping of the plain, unadorned
truth. I hope it gags him.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>My husband and I are blessed beyond measure to have children and
grandchildren who choose to share our home. We glory in our living
arrangements, valuing the intergenerational family, cooperation, and the
loving support that we provide one another. We appreciate Joan's and
Melynda's willingness to put up with us, to laugh with us (and about us),
and the unique opportunities we have to teach and learn from their
children. We are also blessed to have another daughter, her husband,
and their three children living less than a hundred yards away on an
adjoining piece of property. They, too, are very much a part of the
joy and grace of our daily lives. We know how fortunate we are to have
children who generously and voluntarily share their lives with us.</DIV>

<DIV>Be very clear Donovan (and lurking Kirkers) that you are welcome to take me
on anytime you think you are up to the job, but be on notice: you'd better learn
to tell the truth and present verifiable facts in any argument you are
attempting to make. I am more than happy to let your
monumental egos expose you for what you are -- liars, hypocrites, and
morons. (Note: if you want to kick my ass, boys, pack a lunch.
I assure you, it's an all-day job. And when your leg is tired I
will (metaphorically speaking) finish the job by drop kicking you from here
to next Sunday.) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But don't you ever, by which I mean<STRONG> <U>never</U></STRONG>,
make the mistake of thinking that you can make personal attacks on any
member of my family without taking me on, too. And, if you do have a brain
in your empty, ill-educated little heads you just won't go there.</DIV>
