[blparent] Help before 7:30 Arizona Time Please

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IS)]

Suing them as role models? Better to sue strangers, there's no fight
like a family fight after all. 
Sorry guys, Elizabeth's message is written in such a way to totally say
the opposite of what I think she meant. 
So, Gabe, we all want to know, what did you decide?

That is easier said than done.  I never wnated ot use a raisor before it
was 
necessary, and this other stuff, I have no idea where it is coming from.
as 
far as the feamle thing, if there are anyfemale relatives in the family,
I 
would suggest suing them as role models instead of a stranger.
