that's clear enough

But if Denise weren't around at all, you'd probably miss her.....

Well the thing was, she was the odd one out. She really didn't know the rest of us from a bar of soap. I was there with some family and friends for the weekend birthday party thingy. A house party I guess you could say. It was at a lighthouse and she was the lighthouse keepers wife. We did the nice thing and invited them and their family to the party. He took the kids home at bedtime, but she stayed...to entertain us.

...and she did -even if it was more in the line of stories to tell afterwards rather than instant amusement.... ;0

...but I do sympathise (sounds like my mother)

She was a pain in the arse. I don't get to see my southern relatives all that often, so I'd have prefered she left with her husband and let us have some family time together.

now back to the chat thread. She said he said.
