See, my mom would've just blurted out the "next handbasket to Hell" stuff- probably accompanied by a sharp "Ah-ah-aaaaaaaaaaah!" She would remind me to be ladylike in a not-very-ladylike manner at all... so I learned my manners as quickly as possible to prevent her from feeling the need to declare anything, LOL!
I still just love this thread! It's one of my favorites on this board!
