One cannot nor should one surpress these functions...they are necessary and when in the privacy of one's own physical space...I say let it fly...but there are the rules of nicety in company that a mature person will adhere to so cover your mouth when in the company of the older less enlightnened of us..your Grandmother and the rest of the "nags" such as myself are only responding to our cultural bias of what civilized behavior should entail. If you must rage against such restrictions I would suggest picking something a little more important...I meant to start off this comment as a warning against elevating something trivial to the level of something worth writing about...however, I guess it is more important than I originally thought as my response is way to lengthy to be "trivial"...Love you Montie...sorry I missed seeing you this weekend...yawning and all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
