Love it! See, even when you don't try, Marilyn, your posts are always fun for me to read!<br /><br />I count myself as pretty lucky - no awful personality types in my family. I think that's why I have to work so hard to come up with conflict and less than noble character traits in my stories.<br /><br />I hope you have a great weekend! :)Robinhttp://www.robinbielman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-84778559215935352872009-05-28T11:20:14.222-05:002009-05-28T11:20:14.222-05:00Interesting article - I wonder which of those toxi...Interesting article - I wonder which of those toxic personality types the author's family would put her in... maybe Know-it-all Nora? : )Nadinehttp://www.nadinedajani.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-46510537790368599922009-05-28T10:02:37.286-05:002009-05-28T10:02:37.286-05:00Sadly, it's not always possible to avoid these in ...Sadly, it's not always possible to avoid these in your family.

And, yes, I agree on the family watching...although I keep trying to convince my relatives that I'm *really not* using them as the basis for any of my characters :).<br /><br />Erica~2009 is just zipping by, isn't it?!
