Our Neville Fact:
Our Margaret was once a contestant for Miss United Kingdom. She was forced to drop out when her mother forbid her to shave above her knees, thus removing her from the swimsuit competition. The family genes gave her thick hair, and not just on her head.

Do you have a less flattering picture of me? I'm sure there's one somewhere. I'm making the unwanted ones look bad. We really do need a new picture of us kids. One with less French Toast in my face.
Oh woe, I would actually need to think about this. Will get to it....eventually....
I love the picture in christmas wrapping hanging on the wall. Oh, the kids look good too.
great books you have read!

*poking her head it* Hey you. Just had to say hello again. Hope you're well. And ps - current obsession = Glen Hansard. Rent the movie "Once" if you haven't already! {hugs}
a~i await your answers!
oob!! ((hugs back))i have, saw it back in june, it's why i'm so in love with the song!
Damn, I've missed too much to comment on everything. You're always highly entertaining.
Welcome me.
You may now expect my occasional pop in.
You know I've always wondered about that "no shaving above the knees" thingy. My mother told me the same thing. My daughter shaves her entire leg(s) and I told her not to. When she asked me, "why?" - I told her - "because my mother said you're not supposed to" - but what IS that thing?
Also, I was told by my mother "never pluck the hairs on the top of your eyebrows, only the ones underneath" - I guess it follows the same illogical logic.
