I just have to figure out what that is -- and why my credibility is less than that of Bill O'Reilly to people who have known me my entire life.
Seein' as how we both pay attention to the red letters --
Mark 6:4 -- But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
Another way to look at it is "familiarity breeds contempt." You can be (and are, IMO) a genius, but your mama is going to remember changing your diapers and punishing you for sucking your thumb and being appalled at your one-time bad behavior at Aunt Pat's. She's not EVEN going to see that you're speaking the truth. It's SOOOO frustrating and exasperating, but you gotta keep keepin' on anyway.

OH! I'm at Jaime's for the next couple of days, and I'm watching I-Man till she gets home from work tonight around 2 am. I shall report!
