Hec's suggestion of a private investigator is a good one, but that can run you $200-$500. I don't know if you'd want to pay that. Maybe it wouldn't be so high since they would be running db searches, but if you'd want a thorough job...it probably would cost that much.
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Billytea, I'm not sure where to start looking for the prosecutor to try and get details.
No... but he does. If he's genuine about coming clean with your mother, that is. "Don't you trust me?" might be appropriate for coming home late. Not for a rape conviction.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Crossing fingers for the dog rescue, Hil! If you get the pooch, I suggest enrollment in a beginning obedience class as soon as possible--it's as much about learning how to be a dog owner as it is for the dog, and I find that training is a great way to bond with my dogs.
Thanks! I'd been thinking about doing that -- glad to know that it's worth it.

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
Yeah, I totally second that.

On the lighter side - yesterday I went out and ran into a neighbor walking her dog. We chatted a bit, asked "how are you" and so on; I asked how the dog was - she has a delicate digestion, so this is always a subject of conversation. Neighbor replied that she had to wait until the dog "pooped" (her word) to see. So ... the proof is in the pooping?

Hil, good luck with the pooch. I endorse training classes no matter how many animals you have trained. It is a great bonding experience. I can seem to find a group class for Zoe. For some reason all the ones I am finding are one on one. Annoying because I really want a group class.
Today is WindSparrow's birthday! May this day and those to follow treat Andi with the loveliness that she so generously bestows to all of us.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Anybody heard from Allyson lately?

I could never say it better than Laura.
Much love, Andi.

Hubby's out of surgery and it went well. We got here at 4 AM, he went in at 5, they should let him out tomorrow. So many hours here at the hospital. Thankfully they have cable and he brought his computer--I'm doubtful about Internet in the room--and I have multiple crochet and beading projects. I'll probably finish that scarf I was making, at lesat.
Thanks for the wellwishes. And hooray for the Internet machine in the hospital lobby.

Thank you for the update, Connie. Sending quick healing ~ma.
