You got it, I'm a very firm believer in 'different strokes for different folks'!

As an unrelated side note: One thing that has been interesting is watching genes play out. My daughter smirks like her grandfather, and she has had maybe 5 days exposure to him in her lifetime. And my youngest rubs his feet together when stressed, like a self soothing routine, something his great-grandfather used to do, but he died before my son was born. We like to think we are all about choices and choose to be unique, But some invisible biology still controls things.

That's so funny, what a specific behavior! I really do wonder to what degree we're all just automatons behaving on the whims of our genes.
