I thought about making this a separate thread, but didn't want to draw too much attention to it, so will say this here.
Maximus, you mean well, but I DO know Venice, and this was all a great fun thing for all of us. She is a very free spirit, who laughs at herself all the time. She is more like her Mom, who laughs all the time too, but her Dad is really serious, and she isn't like him at all. Venice has threatened me online, and said funny stuff to everyone, but she isn't mad. I'm not saying she didn't get embarrassed, but I don't think she had hurt feelings. If she was really upset about any of that stuff, I would have had a phone call, believe me. Or lots of emails about it.
Oh, I know she will get even with me, and try to embarrass me too, and my daughter, when we are camping later this summer, but it's all in fun. And we can take it too.
I do agree it's time to let that story die. I brought it to the top last night, just in fun, but I'll stop doing that.
