I was afraid I my first reply would offend you and that was not my intent.

I have never heard that story about the pyramids.

I grew up in the South and DH grew up in the UK. Neither one of us had ever heard it. I am thankful it finally shut DH up when I tell him Carson is crazy though. He can no longer half defend Carson.

He hates Hillary too....sometimes I wonder why I married him, lol
