Since we have been married, we think my general good luck is keeping the scales fairly balanced. There have only been a few incidents; but still he is always prepared for the worst. Oh, and I am part Scottish so somehow it has not aligned with Yockman's Law to crush us. Although now that I have waved a red flag they may just unite!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11064380989066436545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-9247413669854690212009-08-03T20:19:24.353-05:002009-08-03T20:19:24.353-05:00Correction - except body hair.

I'm both Irish and Scottish so my luck is either really good or really bad.<br /><br />Once I had a week where my apartment flooded, my niece accidently amputated her thumb, and a co worker was killed in a motorcycle accident.
