Way to go Cuz Kathleen: Sounds like you have some of the old Spurgeon energy. Note the following story, from about 1790 - 1800 time period! Location, "Glades" area of then Monongahelia county VA (now Preston Co. WV) at John Spurgeon's farm. >From Meshach Browning "Forty Four Years of the Life of a Hunter" via Dr. Alan Dickey's book "Spurgeon Family History" Meshach wrote about his aunt, Polly, wife of John Spurgeon: ....she was "an even tempered woman...she was always mad." He told the story about him having caught two rabbits, which she thought was a waste of time. To which she said "you must have grease to fry them in". So saying, she...began to pour grease on me without mercy. Round and round she went as fast as she could turn me. I soon found out what she was at by waltzing me round the room so fast: it was to have a new switch at hand as fast as she broke one over my back and shoulders. I thought I might die fighting as to tamely submit to be beaten to death; and at it I went, with all my strength; pulling her hair, scratching her face, and biting her arms and hands, till at length she got my head between her knees, and holding me by one arm, began to beat me unmercifully...Nothing being between my keen teeth and her leg, I took hold of her flesh and skin a little higher up than she ever tied her garter, and there I hung, like a bull-dog, trying my best to bite out the whole of what was in my mouth...but her skin was too tough that I could not tear it ... The contest finally ended in a draw, and Meshach said she never attempted to beat him again. And the dance goes on!
