HP,

Whew - shades of the fire remodel last year. The plywood floor bit is just not cool at all. No matter what you do the house just feels "dirty" - yuck! I feel for ya on that score.

GGB,

I am so sorry for your son about the airsoft gun. My son and his buddies play all the time. They wear eye-protection but accidents can still happen. They have to enjoy their excess testosterone somehow and airsoft battles seem to be a reasonable way to do so. I am well aware of the woes of the "my space" scene - the girl my DS last "went out with" (one movie date) has been involved with another half dozen people who are pasted on the my space account for all the see and enjoy - especially the exes. It is kind of sick in a way.
