I hope everyone survived the snow. My ride from Neumann to my home in Fox Chase (normally 50 minutes) took 5 hours. So I would have NEVER made it to Bucks. Anyway, in response to your posts, my 2 cents: is it genetic or is it learned? We really are influenced by parents, even their personality traits we do not like. That seems more nurture to me. Let's talk about the traits we see surfacing again and again in families (even one of which we are not proud!)
