former congressman HAROLD FORD JR and his family are one product of this. Ever see that show "COOKING WITH THE NEELY's" that comes on cable? The NEELY family does the same thing. EVERYONE in both these families either looks white or has strong white characteristics.

No, but I never get a straight answer from you.

Yeah, I have a few close marriages in my family. They say they checked it out and it was fine, so....

Refresh my memory. I believe that was HEA that wouldn't speak to you, not me. Any hiatus I take from BFRU (the internet really) is not preplanned.

IDK. I guess they went to the proper authorities and outlined any possible relation. It goes a little something like this:

Marvin and Mary had a son, Kevin. Mary then had another son by Joe, Mark. Marvin's sister has a daughter, Sara. So Sara and Mark are married. No blood relation, but still.

Maybe people are lazy. They don't want to put forth the effort to go out into this vast world in search of a mate. It's easier to just go into the next bedroom. I know two other people who grew up in the same house and ended up married. No relation, but still too close for comfort.

My bad, you are correct madam. You guys were close on here at one time and often attempted illegal tags! (wrestling term) Where is she anyway, gone back to that lil hick town in La.?

As the cute lil judge on DIVORCE COURT said, "How big is Marvin and Mary's town?!"

Have these folks ever been on Jerry Springer? I say again, " How big is Marvin and Mary's town?!"

There was nothing illegal about it! You were following the old rule book. The same one that told you to set your clock back last week. Get wit it, Tuck! LOL

I haven't spoken to her in a while. Last I heard she's doing well. I'll be sure to give her your love next time.

You can't help where you find love.

LOL

I wouldn't say it required an appearance on Jerry Springer. It was two different families living under one roof. You know how they did it back in the day. They reconnected years later and hit it off.

But see this is like courting your best friends sister/brother. It might be right, to the courters, but it aint fair cause thats too close to home. Remember SCARFACE, THE GOD FATHER III, etc. Hmmm, Al Pacino got involved in them borderlines relationships a lot didn't he? Barbarians, what can you say, ho hum!
