I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Wow. It's hard to know how to feel about that. I guess is says something that he told her at all, but I'm kind of with you about believing the content of his explanation, omnis.

Good on ya for setting that boundary. And, may your mother be protected from anything negative!

On a personal note, why do parades choke me up so much?!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I showed the various mugshot websites. The one background check website said no convictions.

Hmmm, if there were no convictions, then why is all that info (including mug shots) out there? Couldn't people sue for that? I know I sure as hell would if I were charged and cleared.

He was listed on the national registry, Megan's List. Ugh. I do not envy you in this situation, omnis.

The no convictions is only saying "in the juristrictions that report electronically that we have access to, there are no convictions." as I understand it

The status is NOT quo.

He has convictions or he wouldn't be flagged via Megan's Law; I don't believe him for a flat second. I'm so sorry Omnis. I do think you need to take some steps to protect yourself though. He has stayed with you--you may be liable if you don't report him. He is also a handyman; I would change your locks.

I don't believe him for a flat second.

Yeah, I don't either. I'd have a professional background check done to get the whole story.

Note the wording. If they don't want to pay the fees, or if they don't have adequate security for the jurisdiction, for example, a search is going to come back clean.

Sadly, I don't know how much you can do to convince your mom given his stories to her. It's such a shitty position to be in, hon. I'm really sorry.

Unfortunately there isn't much you can do with adults other than present your views and stand your ground. She has the option to have him in her home, but you don't have to ever see him again. I hope it at least has opened a question in her mind. It is really hard to believe someone you care about is evil. I am just so sorry you have to deal with this.
