Good for them.

This is another example of the life of quiet, humble service lived by these women. It's too bad their numbers have dwindled.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Anything but "sanguine" -- more phlegmatic.

The Phlegmatic

If you are a phlegmatic, you most likely possess a dry wit and a steady, amicable demeanor. You are dependable, polite, and even-tempered. You feel more comfortable in a small group of friends or even spending a quiet evening relaxing at home. You are never flashy, belligerent, or self-aggrandizing. You would rather take the blame (even unjustly) than stir up controversy or pick a fight. On the job, you seek neither power nor the limelight, but work steadily, patiently, and methodically. You are reliable, patient, and methodical on the job, and can work alone, or with the most difficult of personalities. You will prefer job security, working within a structured organization, but can also be a leader of great character and service. Former U.S. president Calvin Coolidge, for example, was known for being a man of few words, conservatism in maintaining the status quo, and a propensity for "effectively doing nothing." Once at a dinner party, a young woman bet him that she could make him say three words. Coolidge dryly replied, "You lose."

I guess I am, too. :blink:

I always thought it referred to someone with a heavy cold.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

Merry Christmas! Mrs. D'Oh has just picked up relative from England who was treated to a 24 hour stay at Heathrow, and so is currently slightly less merry than would otherwise be the case at this time of year. The airline also lost her luggage, which meant they had to visit a mall, which as we know is always a special kind of treat on Christmas Eve.

Oh man... That's rough. Once they arrive home, hopefully things will settle down for everyone. (And airlines are pretty good about finding luggage and delivering it, when they lose it.)
