Perhaps it is a good thing for your niece that they are out of your price range. Can you imagine the therapy bills your sibling would end up with?

Or if they had the chance. Hard to reel him in from destruction of a Ferrari after the fact.

I am sure being fiercely independent and having strong family ties are NOT exclusive. It's why so many parents and children get along better once they are living in separate homes, not because of some upheaval but because it was simply time for the children to fly the nest. Oh, Will makes many rash decisions. That is not to say he doesn't think better of some of them once he calms down. As entertaining as I found the power miter saw and Gucci shoes, it wasn't what I would call a well thought out response to the situation. The flight to Hawaii and keeping a low profile, giving things time to cool off and taking time to think things through, much better.

I say do all three! Hang in there Andy. It's people like you help us get through the chemo and the rest!

I'm not sure I am ready to accept the idea that Will isn't into family the way you say. I will give you that he is trying fiercely to view himself as independent. You site his running away and subsequent emancipation. But he not only came back, but is living at Escorial. I know a few people who were emancipated as teens. The first thing they did was to find work and living arrangements as far from the family as they could. They viewed the emancipation as a divorce from family and bad situations. Will appears to me to want more control over decisions in his life. In any other family that could have been obtained in other ways, but as controlling as Brad can be I think it took something as drastic as the emancipation to start the ball rolling. I am sure some will say its just Will wanting his cake and to eat it too, and to a point I can agree with that, but wouldn't we all do just that if we could?

The problem with "abstinence only" sex ed is its unrealistic. There are a lot of unwanted pregnancies with the "just say no" method!

A failing of mine. But then - I never claimed to be an author. As long as I don't miss that when editing,,,

I don't think so when you consider how many people the family has lost to aids. Sometimes things just resonate. The lack of condom use lately really says something considering how careful Will has been with most of his liaisons Supreme effort and lots of notebook paper? .

Are You Sure There’s a House In There? Matt stopped to tie a bandana around his sweating forehead, wondering for the hundredth time why he had agreed to this harebrained scheme of his sisters. He had been working for two hours already and he hadn’t gotten more than ten feet up what was supposed to be the driveway. It was more like a wall of vegetation. As he stood trying to cool himself in the August heat, his phone chimed with a text. On my way, bringing lunch and plenty of

I was pleasantly surprised to see you begin posting so soon after requesting editorial support! I can't wait for the coming postings!

Tim's comments were comprehensive and quite true. He left out though the tendency for people here to assume things. I don't look french, so I must not speak french. I am obviously not deaf, so why would I be fluent in sign language?

Rocky is so much more fun at a midnight showing tho! I can't believe they still do that. I remember seeing it the first time in a run down movie house just off campus in '79.

That it might, more so since Tim's opinion of Mendoza being predatory seems to have been confirmed by his own mother and that chef. I'm curious - was that a family owned restaurant? Momma seemed awful tight with the chef and he seemed very familiar with Mendoza's...dating habits.

Hubby and I argued about adding hot sauce. We finally agreed to stick basically to your recipe the first try and experiment later. Something tells me it will be like my meat loaf, a little different every time.

And just what is a "silent disco"? Has been a long time but as I recall, disco's were fairly loud back in the day.

"Sister Mary Masochist" I love it! I had forgotten just how much of a dictator nuns could be! Dan had a narrow escape from the flour bag. Smart man bringing dinner with him. Any of us with children have been in the forced to bake position, usually more than once. Peter actually handled it rather well! Great story Wayne. I giggled through most of it.

What do I think of your slice of family life? I love it, miss sitting with my daughter doing homework, and think everyone should know the joy of that sort of life. Lovely Wayne!

Awwww he shoulda kissed him! Nicely done Mann.

We tried your "pie thingy" for dinner last night, with one small change. Instead of just cauliflower, since I didn't have time to get to the green grocer we used a bag of what is called winter mix here - cauliflower, broccoli, water chestnuts, pea pods all mixed together. It was a hit, and its official name in my hand written cookbook is "Thorn's Pie Thingy". No changing the name now dear - its in ink.

I have to agree with rjo on pretty much everything he has said - on Marks fantastic writing, on how the CAP characters become like family, and on how John should not worry about his English. I studied French for years and I am not sure i could manage a single coherent post in that language. The only thing I disagree with him over is the best book for reading first. I am sort of attached to Paternity, since that is the first story I tripped on the day I joined GA. I went back and started at the original CAP while waiting for chapter updates on Paternity and finished the other books at about the same time Paternity wrapped up. It will continue to be my favorite simply because it introduced me to the Crampton/Shulter family.

lol thank you dear!

Welcome to the discussions John! We seldom agree but we have one hell of a fun time doing it!

As I recall, even when there were good reasons that an individual needed their own vehicle after the game, special permission had to be obtained before hand and the player rode with the team to the event, the family had to arrange an extra driver to get the vehicle there, and after the game the player would accompany the team right up until they boarded the bus, then head for his/her car, and even then the coach would watch till the car was moving. This applied to the female varsity as well as the male. But then, there were all sorts of things happening in the late 70's around here, including race riots in the city and black and white hallways in my school, so perhaps they were a bit over cautious?
