George, I just read your post and I understand you like to be demoralized and etc, etc but you didn't say anything about your ego so how's this; we each sent a note to Ms. K and you received the first sentence and a half in response which is 23 words by actual count. Now, in response to my post suggesting we discuss her situation ol gar got 19 full sentences (that's 285 words) plus two more partial sentences, one with 5 words and the other with 10. Hey man, that makes the score 300 for ol gar and 23 for George and I'm not even saying anything about Clark, whom she also mentioned in your 23 words. If we were playing golf you'd be in hog heaven but in a contest for a woman's attention you are running 17th in a 2 man race. OK, now that you understand that I'm getting Kelly's attention here (by the way, on a % basis I've got you by 93% to 7%) you're probably going to come up with another song. That SNOT fair (oh I couldn't resist) because I'm at work and don't have access to my 40 million Napster song collection. But be warned, when I get home I can compete on that level also, so I'm not conceeding the song competition.
On a serious note Kelly, (am I saying all that drivel above was not meant to be serious HA) you are a mom and the most natural instinct is for mom's to defend their kids. If you don't believe me I'll send you my mom's number. She'd tell you that she's had 51 years of practice and still counting. If your son has good health and does not have a substance abuse problem believe me when I say it could be a lot worse. Give him all the support you can without becoming an enabler, which is one of the great words I've learned over the past few years. Another good word is maturity. There's no guarentee it's a solution but sometimes they just take longer to grow up and learn responsibility.
I'll write more later Kel, right now my mom is calling.
