I'm so sorry to hear this. Must be stressful on both you and K right now.

Glad you're back here, hope the hiatus was restful. Sounds like you may need it.

No worries! We're used to it. Relaxing vacation, yessssshhhh!

Heh. Sounds like K got the spunk from her dad's side of the gene pool. Good for her!

And good for her on the reading level -- that's the biggest single thing I would ever wish for my kids, that they can read well. If they have that, the world's their oyster.

I always like reading about your daughter and you. I would like to send it to two friends of mine. Do you have a catergory with just those postings? One is a young woman who has had to deal with her errant mother for years and I think it would help her to know other people go through it, the other a father who didn't always know where his daughter was. It would be good, to just have them together. I don't know how many posting there has been. I catch them once in a while.

Also on a completely different topic. I would really like to know how you ping Salon on typepad. My radioland software has crashed (once again) and I move it to typepad, tho, like you would like to stay in this community. How so? I am on a PC tho.
