&lt;i&gt;your blogs are like steroids on my boring days&lt;/i&gt;
That's the nicest thing to say!  Thank you.

&lt;b&gt;Sunita:&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;b&gt;si:&lt;/b&gt;

LOL.  I think the only people in the world who can drive you nuts and still we can love them are our siblings!

&lt;b&gt;Mukta:&lt;/b&gt;

Thanks Mukta

&lt;b&gt;freespirit:&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;And you need to teach me how to play the game! :-)&lt;/i&gt;
Any time.  Just let me know in advance if you are planning to visit this part of the world, then we can play this game :P

&lt;b&gt;The Pilgrim:&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Just because I am evil, doesn't mean I am bad&lt;/i&gt;
Lol good one.  So I assume you played the game well and your relationship with your cousin didn't change after teh visit!</description>

					<description>Brilliant! I did the same with my cousin on my recent trip to their place and I didn't want to meet them. You put it too eloquently. My favorite quote, " Just because I am evil, doesn't mean I am bad"</description>

					<description>this reminds me of my sister and myself. most of the time we're dreading the obligatory visiting with relatives, but sometimes she gets carried away in the moment and offers some kind of return hospitality/visit. and often they take her up on it (don't think they're aware of the chess match) -- she's always so shocked (and sorry). *I* get to hear about her remorse and dread -- both the days leading up to and after the return visit. she drives me nuts, i tell you... :)</description>
