ACK, I'm actually glad I'm older now, lol. <BR/><BR/>With a solid core, as you said "he'll get there." Sounds like the Snippet thing needs to go though ... it's odd, but we could have said the same things about the neighbor boy we watched grow from teenhood to marriage in the last ten years. He's a great kid. Bad Idea To Get Married at 22. Oh well, kids these days, eh?<BR/><BR/>And I used to wear an onion on my belt, as was the fashion in those days ... heheIowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-33920022982725469002008-07-23T09:46:00.000-04:002008-07-23T09:46:00.000-04:00IVG, I see him as being about halfway there. There...IVG, I see him as being about halfway there. There's still a compartmentalization that has to be broken down — right now, how his trailer-mates act toward him and how he acted toward us are two different things in his mind. Once he makes that connection…<BR/><BR/>He is a good guy at his foundation… like you said. He'll get there. If he can scrape off Snippet, he'll make a lot of progress in a hurry I think. He has a history of letting girlfriends distract him from his longer-term goals.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-68684184854984215702008-07-23T02:12:00.000-04:002008-07-23T02:12:00.000-04:00WOW, FAR,Do you think TB is finally starting to se...WOW, FAR,<BR/>Do you think TB is finally starting to see the "reality based community?" If so, that sure sounds like a good omen. My sense has always been that he's a good guy, but he just needs to wise up to living in the real world, get more selective about the people who make up his group. <BR/><BR/>Faint glimmers of progress there? I hope so, for you and Mrs. Fetched.Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.com
