This conversation (slightly edited to be more understandable) took place today and clearly states my feelings on family...particularly MY family. You guys are the greatest!

sunangel: he's lucky to have such a loving family. we are pretty damn lucky!
Turtle: yeah. we really are lucky
Turtle: and the more you learn about others families the better ours seems
sunangel: no kidding. even other families that are good, are never as fun and interesting as ours!
Turtle: I think it has something to do with out level of acceptance
sunangel: i think you are exactly right.
Turtle: we think everone in the family is great no matter what they choose to do
sunangel: no kidding. even other families that are good, are never as fun and interesting as ours!
Turtle: I think it has something to do with out level of acceptance
Turtle: we think everone in the family is great no matter what they choose to do
Turtle: and because they can choose to do anything they choose what they like and are therefore better at it
sunangel: i think you are exactly right.
sunangel: we are all allowed to do what we need to do and everyone tries to learn from it.
sunangel: rather than trying to stop it or change it
Turtle: and that is why everyone in the family seems so succesful and talkented
sunangel: and happier iwth it!
Turtle: talented even
Turtle: frudian type I think
sunangel: and with the talking thing...we talk like crazy because we know that we are listened to and respected. we feel secure in expressing ourselves.
Turtle: yeah, so much so that some of us get kicked out of restraunts for it

Yeah, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!! : )
