Re: Things I tried to ignore but couldn't #2 (NJC)

I didn't see the comment you're referring to Darice, and yes of 
course, you're right, it's offensive and silly.  Maybe it was 
intended tongue-in-cheek?   But, and I'm serious, I can imagine worse 
fates than being labelled a bleached blonde bubble-headed surfer girl 
lying in the sun.   As someone who used to live near a beach, the 
words 'if only' spring to mind. . . ;-)

the others (more highly evolved) of the species migrate to the East
