3. I can see that but I caught more of a Natalie Merchant vibe.
Either way: I'd hit that. :P

7. I've met Grover & Frances Cleveland's grandson
He's an active Democrat in Carroll County, NH, and hosts an annual "Grover Cleveland Dinner" fundraiser for the local Democratic committee.

I'm going to venture a guess and say that GrayWarrior has been to a couple of Grover Cleveland dinners over the years!

22. Why Hasn't The Name, "Edith" Survived?
My sister and my grandmother were named Edith. You don't hear that name any more.

23. My grandma was Edith, too.
I wouldn't be surprised if it made a comeback, though. Names like Olivia, Grace, and Emily have come back big time.

24. I went to college with an Edith...
Edited on Sat Jan-03-09 12:23 AM by Chan790
she went by Edie and I spent the better part of junior year trying to get her to agree to dinner. (She was a pretty girl with brains who wasn't stuck-up. Rare for CUA.) She ended up having a thing for my friend. She's a nun now.
