I’m fortunate enough to have R’s raspy voice as my secret weapon for keeping the nasty voices at bay. But if anyone out there still needs help getting the cranial naysayers to shut the beep up, you might want to try this approach:
AGNES by Tony Cochran (8/20/08)

Too funny…I think the little gagging noises would, um, gag me 😉
Btw, I’m writing this part in first person present — just to see. AT least it’s flowing now 🙂

The gagging noises probably would be a bit distracting. Agnes is made of tougher stock than me.
Excellent on changing the POV to get things moving again! You can do this, Robin!

You’re such a great cheerleader — shall I try to channel Robert’s voice to return the favor?

Glad to shake a pom pom for you. And no thanks on the Robert offer; my kids already think I’m nuts for talking like him all the time so if you started, too, well, there might be a real crisis here. 🙂

You like lima beans? Wow, that’s pretty unusual. Zippy loved canned spinach when he was a kid. Throw those kid/veggie stereotypes out that window!
Hope you don’t have nasty voices echoing in your head but if so, toss them a bean!

In the interest of full disclosure, I also love beets and Brussels sprouts and okra and, well, most veggies. Although I don’t eat fresh tomatoes. I am told these things make me odd, but we already knew that. 😉

You are a true veg-head! Right on, Kelly!
As for these things making you odd, I shudder to think of anyone compiling such a list about me.
