Thanks Kitt.  No, no rainbows or unicorn farts.. LOL.  No, i've never really tried fantasy and this was the place to start.  I like to keep things real.

Nicely done AC!  Was thinking he needed a Changes forum, but was waiting till things settled a bit. Your timing is perfect!   I greatly enjoyed chapter 1, and am looking forward to the rest

“No, I’m sorry Robert. If me speaking my mind means Max doesn’t come here, then I’ll apologize to Max. I don’t like the tactics; I don’t like the presumption … I don’t like the idea that we need to be spied on or tricked. Frankly, I’m rather pissed off

 

Good for you Don letting them know you’re not one to be trifled with.  Good quality to have when one is raising a teenager, especially when said teen has physical and emotional issues that need to be dealt with appropriately.

 

Quote

I for one appreciate your candor, Mr. McPhee. If you stand up for Max like you have here, well, we couldn’t want for more.”

 

That’s what I’m talking about!

 

It was back in the 80s, but I’ll never forget this phrase “I don’t give a flying fig!” Uttered by Cloris Leachman’s character on the Facts of Life tv show. This line was uttered during a social worker interview pre adoption so I totally get what’s going through everyone’s (dave Robert, maybe) mind with the social worker having the exact response as Janet Grimes.

 

Don passed “the test”, I’d say. :D

They checked the electrical faceplates, the cords on blind, and other things they thought might be choking hazards or dangers to a small child. I reminded them Max was fifteen and in a wheelchair.

 

Seriously, they don’t have a safety checklist for non toddlers? :rolleyes:

 

Can we say bureaucrat? :P

They rarely sat at the ends of the boardroom table, preferring to sit side-by-side in the middle.

 

That’s good. They’re not into showing they’re highest rank by sitting in the high status seats.

I was up.. at 7am

I woke up around that time too. I checked my GA Notifications (20!), but was too sleepy to read Changes, Again or this Topic. So I went back to sleep!

Th highs around here are in the mid-50s and the lows are dipping down into the mid-40s. Fairly normal for this time of year. (Sorry, I don’t feel like translating to Celsius this time.)  ;–)

 

I got quite a bit of rain when the storms drenched the area north of here, but the geography is different and it drains much faster here – plus they get a lot more rain there. The area that was flooded is more mountainous and the Russian River* drains through a relatively narrow channel. The rivers and streams that feed into the Russian River also cover a large area. It’s not unusual for the river to flood and most of the houses were raised over the years to prevent most damage.

 

 

* The name is a legacy of the fact that Russian fur traders had been active along the Pacific Coast south to this region. The Bay Area was the northern frontier for the Spanish Empire during that period. But the Russians were even less likely to establish settlements than the French fur traders.  ;–)

I remember the chocolate chip cookies (Tollhouse) my mother used to make. She loved nuts, so they always had to include chopped walnuts (we shelled the walnuts ourselves because it was much cheaper that way) and she liked them crispy, so we always used Crisco instead of butter (this was before the truth about transfat stuff came out). After she tricked us into baking our own snacks for our sack lunches, I don’t think she ever baked cookies again.  ;–)
