Yeah, I heard. The Rubber Pig called K/Mom yesterday and she told me about it. We haven't heard from Brother A. K/Mom is distraught over it. I think he has dodged a bullet myself. I agree with you, I hope he doesn't return to her for what ever reason. As to Aunt L's vision of sending him somewhere, she needs to stay out of it. Brother A has nothing here in Greencastle in the way of friends or a job. He is welcome to visit, but he can not stay here at the house. It's not that I don't care but if he seeks refuge anywhere he won't deal with the problems at hand. You know what I mean, if you provide him a safety net it turns into a hammock. Your mom's situation doesn't allow her to accommodate Brother A at this time, either. I also am sorry for his pain. Better to find out now then down the road when the entanglement would be more intense. I hope he is OK. I think he is embarrassed to talk to any of us and fears an unspoken "I told you so." If I only knew a way to really help him.

I am still on Cloud 9 from all of yesterday's good news. I am, of course, sad for Brother A's hurt feelings, but just so glad that he didn't have to wait for her to pop a puppy before he picked up the clue phone.
Apparently this all got started when she had his future all planned out (she told him to go to police academy) and he said "no"...after all, a good obedient Jewish wife should NEVER have to hear the word "No" from her husband...
Thank god/ess. The boy has more sense than I gave him credit for, and I am also (for once) thankful for his stubbornness--once he's turned his back on something, that's IT.
Still looking for that Chinese Orphanage to donate to. Or maybe I'll just put in a few bux to the Lilith Fund. =========================

This has been one nutty week. All ups and downs. I'd like some even keel for a change. :)
Still, all of the ups have been really good news (like Brother A and The Rubber Pig), and the downs haven't been so bad.
Mary continued to spam me the rest of the afternoon. All kinds of random stuff; fortunately, none of it was like the horrorscope or the article about love being a mental disorder.
Seeing Shane tonight. We're going swing dancing. :) I sure hope I am not a total klutz.
