Well Goldey those aha moments are a year too late...I am kind, sometimes too kind for my own good. It is who I am...who I have always been.
I could resent her for all she put me and D9 through... bad mouth her to my friends, family, stepdaughters and even D9, however, what would that accomplish? I will stop ...

Thanks for the compliment Gyps....but I do not consider myself a star...at all...just a regular shmoe. From what I hear, however, there are fewer and fewer regular guys out there...

Mike, you are doing a great job with your D. She is only 4 and it will be difficult to explain things. I am sure you will continue to do fine and your D will groe up to be a wonderful young lady.
