Do you have polygamous ancestors?

I love a good family fight.

RB has a thick skin. It has been her personal code of ethics that has compelled her to leave in the past, not offense. That said, if she were to find offense in this thread, it wouldn't be from me. We are family, and that means we can say whatever we like to each other and it is just fine... kind of like 'kissing cousins,' you know, when a much older female cousin kisses you in that special way, but it is ok, because you are family? Like that. We simply can't offend each other.

Oh, I see.... you're saying that I'm old, that I have a thick-skinned, pox-marked face, and that only because of these features will you condescend to the acceptance of any kiss that I, as your cousin, might needily bestow on your satiated face. Whatever shall I do? My vanity, my vanity. This offense, my dear cousin, shall stand between the two of us until the dusk of all message boards from eternity to eternity.

OMG! I said NOTHING about the pox-scars. Having survived a bout of cholera, I know what such scars mean -- you are hearty pioneer stock, built to survive the challenges of the end of days. The pox-scars are beauty marks, dear cousin. And as for your age, I'm pretty sure we are about the same. If you look older than your years, it is only because of a wealth of life experiences, which again, I find to be as sexy as our familial bond will permit. I would never 'condescend' to accept your kisses. On the contrary, I would find the tallest ladder so I might climb the pedestal on which you deservedly perch, and seek out your affection.

Most sincerely dear cousin,

Robin

Do you have any polygamous ancestors?

My great great grandfather Charles William Seymour's third wife was a paralyzed from the waist down when he married her. Paralyzed from the waist down isn't sexy so I'm thinking he was in it for the right reasons.

You must have had hotter cousins than me.

Or at the very least, more affectionate.

Maybe he preferred oral.

I bet Rosebud's not going to be very happy with Robin, as she's not at her best right now.

Well Robin, right now I'm not too happy that I ever posted in this thread.

It's good to be your cuz, but let's not do the letter writing thing. Neither of us, I'm afraid, are at our best.

I apologize, RB. I was just playing around. I'll stop. I think that it is very cool that you are a distant cousin, and would like to think that spark you sometimes get in your britches was shared by our great-great-great-great-grandparents, because I've got it in my britches sometimes too.

Cheers.

No problem RF. We WERE playing around. It's hard for me to figure out how to let my hair down around here, though, because it seems like things get carried too far all too quickly..... and it's not just you. I walk an awkward line when I come to CUF and sometimes I don't know exactly how to make things work. It's probably a better idea for me to try to remain more aloof. My apologies as well.

And btw, you're right on about our ancestors having spark. I think that Hulda Cordelia was the first woman in the territory to receive a particular medical certification (although I can't recall the details right now). She's my mother's mother's mother's mother and we have an unbroken line of college-educated women between the two of us. I'm pretty proud of the fact that she chased out the girl that BY had her husband move in, although I AM sad that the poor girl had to live through so much.
