[Margerie]

I have also heard Monster-in-law. The blessing was realizing what a lucky girl I am having a wonderful husband who miraculously survived his childhood. He eventually grabbed the phone from me that day and told his mother her comments were inappropriate. 2 weeks later, after my surgery and final diagnosis, prognosis (and we have 3 little kids BTW and they were 2,4 and 6 years old at the time) she has only one question for him: "I have been bleaching my teeth every day for 3 months and they still look grey. What can YOU do about it?" (Hubby and I are dentists)

We laugh about it, but have told the kids she is on a LONG cruise. You are right Joanne- they walk (and unfortunately talk) among us!!
