............My kids & I don't have any problem saying it to each other, sadly my step-dad wasn't a person you could get close to. In fact you wanted to avoid him. Kevin, I doubt you'll have that problem.
...............Wow!! It has been a long time since I have been to a foreign country, I remember Canada being inexpensive (1977) as far as Hotel rooms, restaurants & bar-hopping and such. As a matter of fact the most expensive place I went to back then was Singapore, everything else was "cheap". I don't know if the dollar was just on the "upside" ('72-77'). I now, that I think on how much I cuss when I shop while eyeing the prices, compared to what your up against.
...........Perfect title for the story, it's a shame her bitterness carried thru so long in her life that she failed to realize its effect on her son. I imagined that there was little display of affection in her household and believe his suicide is the result of further rejection from his mother.
...........The Goat makes a point here, however I find it to be irrelevant as no one has twisted Eric's arm. He does seem to have a weakness for the golden liquid, as to weighing the morals of Codys against Jerrys that kind like comparing Stalin to Mother Teressa
..........Coming from a family that only Mom, the Brothers & Sister are very close it was natural (evil Step-dad didn't count) so if you had this interaction all your life, it is easy to say it.
..............Are people really equating this "pregnant transgendered guy" to Gays? That is so wrong, there's nothing wrong about transgendered people. But this person is not gay.
........I think it went with the title Dreams & Cliffed Wings, there was no secret that Cody had eyes for Eric out of all the band members. He even remembered Eric's favorite poison, which got him closer to his Idol. How daring and brave was it for Cody to try and seduce Eric?? So Cody's dream may have been forfilled already, even if he doesn't make a re-appearance or re-connects with Eric. That could have been Eric's 1st & last
............I detect a hint, Helen crossed the line and if Eric hadn't been tequilaized, Helen would have gotten what she deserved a severe tongue lashing
.......Hummmmmmm!!!!, I should have spotted the spoiler above ....the real question is Instinct has one more concert left in SF, will Cody make a re-appearance??? You know Joe will,
With his Shadowyness in league with the goat who knows what evil they may bring forth
................As I said before I see him as open-minded, never thought of him as an attention seeker but yeah that fits as well. I just thought the threesomes were an ego boost.
