Laurachris2, yes, we can get stuck in our ways at an early age, either by choice or because others decide to stick us there! (Your poor brother!)

Carmen, why thanks! Families are wonderful petri dishes that help us study and understand everything that's more macro (around us) and even the micro (within us). Btw, I loved hearing more about your childhood and family at your wedding! (Not that I was studying them, of course. :)
