6. She's always reminded me of Ungoliant.

The evil creature of spider-form who was Melkor's accomplice in the Darkening of Valinor, and who fled with him to Middle-earth. The creatures that infested the Ered Gorgoroth were her offspring and descendants, as was Shelob who dwelt on the borders of Mordor.

7. you and I are on the same wavelength

Although I call her "Echidna, the mother of all monsters"

She was featured on one of the early Kevin Sorbo "Hercules" shows. I have no idea if she is a real Greek goddess/titan, but the description fit rather well.

12. it did to me too.

even if the discussion was a 'what if' scenario, its pretty callous for her not to want to consider it.

snopes did nothing to help her.

also, i'm beginning to suspect anything i read on their site now.

10. It's my sig quote

I wanted to be reminded every day how clueless, unfeeling, and lacking in compassion Barbara Bush and those of her ilk are.
