The Terminator

The last few days I have been rolling over an issue that finally came to a head this past weekend. Each time I think about how to handle the situation, I am reminded of the Steel Magnolia Julia Sugarbaker of the 80's TV show Designing Women. Known as "The Terminator" for her rapid-fire speeches, Sugarbaker always knew how to express her point-of-view and put someone in their place sans expletives and inappropriate language.

Here's my favorite rant:
