My sister is getting married to a Greek guy in a couple of weeks. Kalni will be glad to hear of the Greek connections in our families. I haven't had much exposure to Greek music. I'll let you know what I think.

Just in case you guys think I am anti kids, I got word earlier this evening that Dennis the menace is in major trouble at school. Let's see, he's been back two weeks....Can you say suspension....sure ....i knew you could. I would suggest a boarding school with a military "atmosphere", however, i decided to listen to NGF for an hour and not suggest any solutions. How do you women do it? that was extremely difficult. I guess you can chalk that one up to experience. Did alot of listening today.......

Awesome! It is difficult for us men to stop the urge to fix. Just remember that her feelings about the problem is the problem. Just being a sounding board with some paraphrasing of understanding is all you need to do. If she asks you for advice, then you should mention the straight jacket, duct tape or military academy.
Been a while since I posted on my own thread. Thingas are going well. The weather has turned chilly in a hurry and the golf season is coming to an end up here I am afraid. Evry year it's the same story.....I start getting a tad melancholy as winter approaches. D8 will be D9 soon and she is just doing great. I am keeping my eye on her because it is almost impossible in my mind anyway that she has gone through all this with no visable effects (none). Quite the contrary she has really blossomed. NGF is great and really digs me...she thinks I am great! i guess I have her fooled pretty good. Speaking of fools, i got an e-mail last night from XW. I have to admit that we have been communicating strictly as it pertains to D8 (and i rarely initiate). For some reason xw sent me a thank you e-mail kast night out of the blue .... thanking me for being the person that I am .... what a great and lovely person I am amd taht she is happy that my two stepdaughters love me na drespect me so much.....that she has learned a great deal from me... happy to have lived by my isde and finally that i have given her much more tha I will ever know or imagine. I guess the wine was flowing last night. I could only imagine what type of reaction this would have had on me a few years ago....today it is one of slight regret.
Wooooh...I was thinking. I pride myself in giving honest answers, without worrying about what folks may or may not think (not only on these boards but in genneral). ....so it took a while.
Interesting, indeed....although it will not happen. Hypothetically, the answer would be NO.....unless of course she used the D8 angle.....then i would be in BIG TROUBLE.
I am not expecting nor lobbying for any follow up e-mail. If history repeats itself, look for XW to recoil after this little outing. The interesting part about this is it's limited affect on me....sure I am touched by the compliments but the overall melancholly effect is minimal. The e-mail shall go unanswered mainly because I really do not know what to say. Sure, i could say that she also contributed to my personal growth and I enjoyed our time together but......nah.....I prefer (for once) to keep quiet.
