If she thinks she can be fans of 2 teams in the NFC East she must be crazy.

Signed,

Redskin, Giants and Cowboys hating Eagles fan.

Alright, I feel like I should apologize.  I didn't mean to imply that anyone who said people like me were stupid or ignorant.  They are correct, I AM ignorant, and frankly, I am what most of you would consider unintelligent and stupid.  I'm sorry that I implied anything but.

I wish I knew more, or had time for an advanced degree.  Unfortunately, I have to settle with a masters, which I realize means nothing.  While I would love to go back to school, unfortunately, getting an MBA from a top 5 school like Wharton or Harvard wouldn't result in a level jump where I'm at in my industry.  Even though its silly and most of you probably can already claim better, I am actually proud of graduating from a top 12 Nationally-ranked university (even though I'm sure that this is nothing to most of you Harvard, Columbia, MIT, etc. grads).  Do I wish I went to a top 5 ranked program for my masters?  Honestly?  Not really.  Having a full ride for a top 10 ranked program (uh free grad school? sweet!) was kind of cool for someone like me who didn't attend an Ivy and didn't achieve much.

That being said, I learn a lot from the women who post on here-whether from good OR BAD example.  There is a lot of great advice being given, even if new brides have a hard time understanding at first!

Sorry!  Drinking wine and watching "Ten Commandments" on TV.

I know more about Don Quixote from "Man of La Mancha" than from any other source. Including reading Miguel de Cervantes' book. I guess the musical just stuck better for whatever reason. Now it's in my head, which might make me obnoxious by mid-afternoon when I finally do break out in song.

What are you talking about?  This doesn't make any sense at all.

No need to apologize, good for you for recognizing your own limitations! On a non-sarcastic note ignorance does not necessarily go hand in hand with stupidity or lack of intelligence. Some of the most brilliant and intelligent people often start out being ignorant. But they are smart and intelligent enough to recognize themselves as such and proceed to better themselves by learning what they lack. "Ignorance is not just a blank space on a person's mental map. It has contours and coherence, and for all I know rules of operation as well. So as a corollary to [the advice of] writing about what we know, maybe we should add getting familiar with our ignorance, and the possibilities therein for writing a good story." - Thomas Pynchon.
