I've been chuckling over all your comments re: pearls vs. in-laws. Charlotta, you are so right about pearls never being rude or talking too much...I love my in-laws, but.... 2thdktr, I've noticed that glazed look, too! And I've seen some eye-rolls as well. KarenK,

Thank you all for the laughs...helps me get over my disappointment.
