[QUOTE="witzend, post: 560844, member: 99"] Absolutely! Let me tell you, NC was no picnic, either. And our house guest was a campaign canvasser with a personality [I]identical [/I]to L's. You know the type of person who will find a way to point out a flaw in everything you say regardless of whether they agree with you? And when they're wrong, it's worse. "They don't need to shut down the airports in NY for a hurricane, planes fly into the wind all of the time." (Flooding, anyone? Loss of power?) "A virus can't turn into pneumonia." "[I]Your toilet[/I] is having a problem. Do you have a plunger?" Last night after every news outlet had announced that President Obama had enough electoral votes, [I]and[/I] that Romney was on his way to the his campaign headquarters he said, "I don't think that Romney will concede. He will wait until the electoral college meets next month and contest it." I kept saying "The states won't let him do that. The election's over. He can say he won't concede, but he can't hold up the electoral college." "He [I]could. [/I]I think he [I]will." [/I]I finally looked him in the eye, pointed my finger to my chest and said, "What [I]I'm[/I] saying is that it is [I]my [/I]opinion that he won't, and if he did it wouldn't get further than tomorrow." I'm not at all sure whether he dropped it because I made such a forceful statement, or that 5 minutes later Romney conceded. Oh, and he couldn't figure out how to put a dish in the dishwasher unless we told him that the dishes in there were dirty and he should put his dish in it. The man was at least 40 years old! I've learned my lesson. Fish and guests can stay for 3 days. Period. [/QUOTE]
