'NYT' Probes Possibly Fake 9/11 Survivor -- Other News Outlets Had Bought Her Story

eta: NYT story: [link]

Sometimes I wonder if when Annabel is 19 and home for the summer after her freshman year in college, I'm still going to want to look in, just to make sure she's OK and hasn't kicked all the covers off and because she looks so peaceful when she's asleep.

My mom would have had to cover up me and DH so I'm really glad parents lose that urge.

Timelies all!

Yay Mac!

Happy half-birthday to Grace and Noah!

You shared a bed with your BF at home, Cash? I so don't come from that accepting a family.

My father flat out stated he'd let a son of his share a bed with a GF, but not the other way round.

Still, I'm sufficiently traumatised by the very idea that I'd never do it.

We (my twin and I) are the youngest of five. Once my mom and dad had been through three teenagers, we'd given them far fewer problems and since we in a serious relationship, they didn't forbid it. I don't think they were overjoyed but they understood we lived an hour apart and knew we were sleeping in the same dorm room every night while at school. They're realists, I think.

DH's parents were not so liberal minded with the sleeping arrangments.

Yeah, my parents NSM with the realism. And I'm okay with that.

My mom and step-dad were ok with it, my dad...probably still thinks we don't sleep in the same bed. (This is the man who got us a room with twin beds for our honeymoon)

Hee. That would have been a big N.O. at our house. In fact, when the SO & I were courting, I stayed at a whole 'nother house when visiting him. Of course, that led to a lovely relationship with the elderly and gracious lady who was my host, so I don't begrudge it.

I love this spoiler classification scale:

It should also be said at this point that there is at least one major twist in the story that I’m not going to blow because I deem it an Empire spoiler. For those out there that don’t get my reference, imagine it’s 1979, the internet exists and you’re reading rumors about the new Star Wars sequel called The Empire Strikes Back. There’s some new guy called Lando, there’s a big battle on a snow planet, Luke meets up with another Jedi and Darth Vader says something to Luke near the end of the picture. Sure, those are all spoilers but if I came out and said what Vader told Luke? That’s an “Empire”. What’s in the box that Brad Pitt holds in the final ten minutes of Seven is an Empire. Kevin Spacey’s change of footwork at the end of The Usual Suspects is another Empire. Got it? Good.

Yay, Mac!!!

I don't either, ita. My parents wouldn't even let my sis and her fiancee share a bed. He had to sleep on the sofa bed in the un-heated basement.
