By the way, the line, "Miss Congeality is something to which the women in my family have never aspired to anyway" is one of my entire family's favorite lines! We quote it often. I loved DW. One of the greats of TV.

And the whole math/science and reading thing? I'm horrible at math. Right now I'm running an $800 surplus in my checking account (it's been there for months--the bank insists that I have more money than I think I do) and I've never been able to figure out where it came from. I was so bad at science that when I was in college, I attended Physical Science classes 5 times a week--going to both the M-W-F class and the T-Th class of the same course (even though I wasn't enrolled in the second class), just so I could hopefully manage to figure out what the hell the instructor was talking about and pass the course. I got out of there with a C, but only because the professor knew how I hard I tried to "get it".

Meanwhile, I'm an avid reader and ended up being a writer/researcher.
So there may be something to that theory about reading and the lack of math/science ability, it's true in my case anyway!

Everyone was trying to get me to marry they’re daughters for some reason. The polish and Italian weddings were a PARTAY!

Hey there... you definitely lived not too far from me. What a small world!
This really is a great area to live. At least in my opinion.

And I know exactly what you mean about everyone wanting to fix you up with their daughters. My neighbor across the street wants to fix me up with one of her granddaughters (who are around my age) in the worst way.

Funny thing is though, I think the oldest is on to me. When she used to visit her grandmother when we were all kids, we'd all play together (we had about 11 kids on our block, all roughly around the same age).
Anyway, the last time her grandmother managed to have her and I in the same room together alone... *lol*... she said to me, "do you still love Wonder Woman as much as you did when we were kids?," and then smiled knowingly when I said "yes."
