It worked on my step-dad. The guy only touched me once.

re #205- but it does go to show how protective that father feels for his
kids. Surely you can understand that. That guy doesn't know your son,
and he just wanted to be sure your son knew he was serious.
This is one of the reasons why I'm glad my step-daughter was an adult
when I married her father, and that her parents had been divorced since
she waslike 2. By the time I came into the picture she was long past the
stage of wanting mommy and daddy back together again, and is willing to
accept me as a friend- and even calls me mom (though she has about 3
other women she calls mom too, including her biological mom).

The groundhog saw his shadow, predicting 6 more weeks of winter.
Groundhog Day is the most important holiday of the year in Michigan,
because it predicts the length of winter. Not that this winter has
been very challenging; there's been very little snow since December.
Still, it's good to have an indication of whether we'll have 6 more
weeks of winter, or an early spring (which traditionally begins
approximately a month and a half after the groundhog predicts it).

Note to Rane: I know there's no scientific basis in Groundhog Day.
Also, please note that 6 weeks *is* approximately a month and a half.
Finally, I realize you don't think there's any such thing as God.
(Just pre-empting the usual comments.)

Another bummer (from my postings this is seeming like a bad week but
it's not all that bad):
I had to work until 11:00 pm last night. When you're the last support
rep in the office, and someone needs help, you're "it" and last night I
was "it".

We ARE having an early spring.
My grandfather remarried when he was about 70, after my grandmother died of
a heart attack. We will never know why my stepgrandmother agreed to marry
him after 30 years of being a widow. She was an unbelievably nice person and
he was hard to get along with. She loved all her grandchildren, who thought
she was wonderful. But my mother and her brothers were still upset and
managed to find fault with her. Her daughters seemed to take it better. One
of them sort of adopted me when I moved to Ann Arbor.

John, I'm sorry on how things are starting out. I am confident that you will
do the right thing by these kids....You're a good egg like that.
Congratulations on the marriage! I hope you both have much joy and laughter
(and less legal hassle). ;-)

I am confident we are doing the best we can for the kids. I can put up
with a lot of stress if I think I'm accomplishing something good.

Re #s 208 & 209: HAH! I saw through you right away!
But that doesn't mean that there are any gods.

Jim reports that his basement flooded deep enough to leave water in the bike
tires that were on the floor. He stores insulation and other things on the
floor. From now on he is going to snake out the drains twice a year before
it floods (which it tends to do every spring). Apparently it has been warm
enough this winter for the tree roots to grow in February. He has to make
space to use the snake in.
Since he did not take a bath or shower recently, the water must have come up
from below, he says. The good news is he is thinking (as usual) about having
less junk stored in the basement and will attack it by getting rid of some
of the broken tape decks upstairs that we could not fix a few times already.
