Heck, when my gramma ran one of the local apartment complexes she had a .357 Mag. Six-shooter under the counter that she could take out, kock (man, the c-word is a proper word in gun usage) it, and have it under an idiots chin way too quickly.My gentle mother (hehehe) is just as bad, one time a boyfriend of hers called her that nice word that rhymes with witch, but starts with a 'B', well she knocked him flat out with one punch - funny part thing with that though, he was an Army Ranger.Oh yeah, I don't live in my home town - I like my friends to think I'm the scary one, not the matriarchs of the family. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Hence, this is why 'Jo' is my favorite character inthis story hour - she reminds me of home.Oh, one last thing my family came to Oregon, via Illinois, from Louisiana - I don't know my Great Gramma Delaney's maiden name, but my gramma's first husband (father of five of her nine kids) had the last name of Downs and they use to live a bit east of Shrevesport.Anyhow, enough of my disgressing - as well as given out information that could be used against me, should I become a famous, or infamous, writer. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /></blockquote>
