Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

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

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oh, msbelle. I don't have to be a parent to know that it's hard, even under the "best" conditions. And your situation is far from ideal, but you are *such* a good mom to E. He'll realize that when he's older.

I wish there were something I could do to help.

So I just went and ordered the shoes.

Keen!!!

Because books.

msbelle, if you had to pay someone to attend with him, would it be possible to simply pay someone to sit with him at home instead? It would cut the cost a little, even if it wouldn't provide the same type of socialization.

I'm so, so sorry about all this. I wish it were easier to see inside his head, you know? But I think calling the home study people is a good step.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Msbelle, wishing you all the strength in the universe right now. I'm sorry things are so rough for you guys.

I also love racists who like to talk to me about their viewpoints that I must certainly share, being white like them.

"What do you think I am?"

Bwah! I've shared the story about the guy who informed me he couldn't go out with me because he doesn't date Hispanic people, right? This was in 2000 (AKA the summer Matt spent every weekend out by the pool ogling his hockey player crush.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

oh yeah, I am not going to be paying someone to be at the afterschool as his attendant. Hells no, just on principle, even if I did have that kind of money, which I do not.

He will be at a different afterschool program once school starts, that shouldn't be a problem. The next couple of weeks? That is what I have no idea about. Oh and then there's the whole thing about whether or not he will behave wherever we do get him in. I have started trying to explain that tonight.

How about running away to here: [link]

I know, not helpful. I expect your talk tonight will end up needing several variations and repeats. Wishing you much luck & him much understanding.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Jesus, msbelle. I'm so sorry things are so tough for you guys right now.
