Have you ever noticed that when one complains of boorish behavior, it's always the non-boors who worry that they've behaved badly? Sigh.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Deena, please don't be embarrassed. As the one who started this whole mess, I'm the one who should be--and is--embarrassed to have made you feel unwelcome. I've got my antenna up too high. Please forgive me.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Hey David, how about them Mets? or.. um.. the Indians (since I'm in Cleveland)?
Seriously, I'm fine, I hope you're fine, all is well and don't worry about the antennae. Better up too far than your head in your.. the sand. If I thought you actually needed forgiveness, I'd forgive, but, I think you were just being careful and protective, and that's admirable.
I am refraining, madly, from putting a smiley here.
edited to say: I have to go take my afternoon nap now. My husband is starting to worry about my attention to this board and has threatened mayhem if I don't rest.

I'm not a one-eyed, diseased single mother!
Can I tag this?

Indians? INDIANS?
We may have a problem here.

OK, I give up -- how do I do a fake closed HTML tag?

John, you may tag it with my blessing! And now, really, naptime...
edited to say: Where, exactly are the Twins? The only pro-sports teams I actually root for are the Seattle Seahawks because they're the closest to Oregon, where I was born and did a very cute music video 100 years ago; the Red Wings because a friend of mine threatened my life if I did not; and the KC Royals, because they won the world series the year my eldest was born. I memorized that on the off-chance that, if I were ever taken captive and had to prove I'm an american, I'd be able to say SOMETHING about sports.

A fake closed HTML tag is just the same as an open one. Do the slash yourself!

Minnesota. Don't worry, sports knowledge is not the measure of an American, thank god.

DIY slash. I should have known. That's practically the Buffista motto.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
That's called Munchausen by Internet (whether formally or informally), and it's getting common.
Had one of these at the old Bronze. Name was Penlind. She had eight children, one was dying.
We caught her before she could get money from anyone, but it caused a lot of damage within the community.
Totally sucked.
