  3. "I smile even when I am angry."

    That is the smile to fear... when you look angry, there is still room for discussion. When you smile angry, watch out! Someone will be learning a lesson!!!

    Additionally, I think it is unnatural and some how perverse to not like ice cream. It must have something to do with having a "Dental Hygienist" for a mother.

  4. Oh, and me too, me too! I want to be part of yurt-ville!

    I'll make the lemon curd and prune all the trees and roses in our orchard and gardens. I'll even wash dishes if someone keeps me company while I do it!
