ah... MacD... you and I should kvetch in Chat about this. I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. I have a very similar issue with my dad. I love him because he's my dad, but there is very little that I actually like about him. Of course just typing that produces tons of guilt. 99% of what comes out of his mouth offends me, and I'm very difficult person to offend.

But alas... I have only a few seconds online today. My stepbrother is getting married and the aforementioned parents are in town. Therefore... to be continued...

High-five, MacD!
