@R3dH00d He sounds like my brother-in-law. Bit of a workaholic?

@Qbae Very interesting! You win over the dream I had several years back where I got lost in a campground full of Airstream trailers parked as if it was a mobile home park but with no sign of humanity and no public restroom or water/sewage/propane hookups!

@San_Ban I mean when it comes to "the talk." Kids start hearing about sex around the same age, no matter what their culture, whether it be from older siblings, other kids with older siblings, TV, movies, Interwebs, other kids whose parents leave magazines lying around the house--you name it. I was not saying race doesn't matter in all things. Please, accept my reply as it was meant and not as a racist affront.

@San_Ban Race doesn't matter. Kids talk, kids're exposed to it in TV & movies rated TV-G & PG. If you live in a big city where your library isn't censored like ours is, there should be lots of books for you to find the most comfortable way to have "the talk" w/kids. (I thought you were talking about the TV show, w/the capitalization, LOL.) It might even have kids' books you could use to help talk to them. At that age, most important is they can come to you about anything w/out worry of judgment.

Fair warning, folks. Looking at my new profile pic may cause a sudden craving for red raspberries!

@Bysodas It varies greatly, but usually wee hours of the morning.

@sw00p That almost looks digitally enhanced! Wow!

@Xponent Interesting. We were taught in our technical writing course to write how-to books (user's manuals) for a 7th-grade audience.

@R3dH00d *safe hugs* Do everything you can to support him, and both show and tell him you love him. I've been there, and I feel like I didn't say it enough because I felt awkward.

@nannyogg63 I got mine at my doctor's office, but guess which place treated me like I had the plague when I let them know I had them in my apartment by telling them I was living at my mom's temporarily?

@nannyogg63 Thank you, Krista. That's what I'd like to do, but Mom was told by the exterminator she already has for the house she'd get a free inspection by their guy "if you see any." He won't come unless we actually see a bug. Doesn't know his job very well, does he? I'm going to tell her to call him and lie.

I messed up, CoSo. I started getting bites while sleeping in my mom's chair last night. The bedbugs have officially made themselves known in Mom's house. *walk of shame*

Okay, Mom's out of bed. I can play Diablo now. CU L8R
