Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, msbelle. Is your dad helping?

Amy, age of majority for what? I'm guessing there's not a legal definition, because it's thing by thing. But I'm literally just guessing.

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

Dad is totally helping. They actually had a great day. Then I triggered monster-ville at dinnertime and we have still not recovered. We came very close to going back in, which is terrifying, but we didn't and I am 100% sure that part of tonight is getting out anger at me for the hospital visit.

Because books.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Raccoons bypassed my unlatched garbage can with the chicken bones and a slightly passed steak and went for the recycling bin of rinsed bottles and rinsed cat food cans. Raccoon Fail. Me not having to clean up gross garbage Win.

Amy, the age of majority may differ depending on what the person in question is doing. Can you give some context?


Amy - Aug 24, 2009 4:13:14 pm PDT #5409 of 30001
Because books.

Thanks, Vortex. I'm not sure I really want to talk about it specifically.

I'm going to call someone tomorrow, I guess.

Oof, msbelle. Part of the cycle, but knowing that doesn't make it any more pleasant.

eta: Good luck, Amy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Amy, I have a friend who is a lawyer in upstate NY who would say that he could finally go on vacations w/o the kids when they were 18 and have it not be child abandonment, but I don't know if that was seriously reflective of the law.

Yeah, I think my best bet is to call someone tomorrow. There's a social worker we spoke to last year, so.

Thanks, guys.

I'm sorry about the brouhaha, msbelle. I hope you can keep weathering these storms and it will get easier.
