Another Interesting conversation with my father today
by joe134cd indad - sister x had been visiting a lawyer as she is wanting to write her disfellowshipped daughter out of her will.
apparently her lawyer told her that if she leaves the daughter just $1000 then she can’t contest the will because she has been given her inheritance.. joe - oh thats unfortunate for the daughter as sister x is worth many times that.
no doubt despite been dfed she has still got to pay bills and survive.. dad - sister x isn’t happy about the life style her daughter is living.

Well, if that was your point, it wasn’t clear—at least not to me.
Either way, it’s a huge mistake to behave this way, and you shouldn’t do it either.

Well that’s a sad story, but—the way you tell it—everyone involved (except the grand kids) is a selfish little drama queen that deserves just exactly what they get.

In 1944, Loesser wrote "Baby, It's Cold Outside" to sing with his wife, Lynn Garland, at their housewarming party in New York City at the Navarro Hotel. They sang the song to indicate to guests that it was time to leave.

It's always problematic to judge past events and behaviors by current social norms and mores. I am certainly aware of and sensitive to current issues involving sexual assault and harassment; but it is also important to understand that the lyric "What's in this drink?" could not possibly have had the same implications in the 1940s that it does since the '90s when rohypnol began to gain notoriety as a "date rape" drug.
