everybody loves raymond ....

I would love to say it isn't true, but there are many parts of ELR  that match my parent's house it is frightening.  My Mom was Marie in a nightgown and dark glasses.  Frank matches my Dad's most functional personality (there were 3 of them just before he died).   True, we did not have a really big person with smelly feet, but there is more!  Although Raymond feared his Mom and Dad, I simply tried to make everything alright to everyone.  The interesting thing is that both ways of dealing with family failed miserably ... for both of us.  Still you can't find much else funnier than ELR and my family.
