Dear Listers, I think we need to lighten up. If someone was offended, I'm sure Renee apologizes. For those of us who thought it was funny .. well, maybe we needed a joke today. Since we all seem to be into Genealogy, I can't help but wonder how many of our relatives worried about being "politically correct." Most of our families at some time in history, were the brunt of oppression or jokes. No, it wasn't nice, but it enabled them to develop strong minds, tough skin, and an ability to accept others for their differences. Now, I will get down from my soap box, and continue looking for those relatives who overcame so much. Thanks for the read, Susie Koehrsen

Lighten up. Never take life seriously...you're not going to live through it. Had enough philosophy?
