She should change her name to Brienne, train in the knightly crafts and swear allegiance to the Starks.

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Her biological sister, my other step-sister, is a nurse anesthetist

I heard a radio spot by some association of nurse anesthetists, and the chick could not pronounce it properly. Kept leaving out the "h". All I could think was, "If you can't even say it properly, how can you do it properly?"

Yeah, the chick in the commercial was a professional anesthetist. Bleh.

In fairness, some people might have problems with "th" sounds?

But my other step-sister isn't terribly bright, either.  She's smarter than I gave her credit for years ago--though to what extent I should give her credit for basically just doing what her mom and aunt did the same way I did more-or-less what my dad did, except it worked out for her, is debatable--but ultimately she's not the intellectual type.
