Family

FAMILY, n. A body of individuals living in one household, consisting of male, female, young, servants, dog, cat, dicky-bird, cockroaches, bedbugs and fleas- the "unit" of modern civilized society.

2009 Update: A union consecrated by the state for heaven's tolerance. Sacramental lambs, flocked.

  10. Ariel - funny and true.

    Family - relatives and others whom you are closely knitted to. As my Gramillo, once told me, "Family is more important than anything."

  11. Mo'a, you celebrate it well.

    That sounds tempting, Jim. How's Mrs. Jim's cooking?

    Right there, Nessa. Now, stay.

    For many an unfinished project, Amoeba.

    Amen, blogmama.

    Yup, that happens too, K.

    Ariel, a high alcohol content makes it both.

    Or, at some stages, Quilly, are comfortable feeling ok about.

    Bear, pod is one of my favorite clan words.

    Especially when it's spilled, Icy.

    Can't argue with that, JD. She's family, after all.
