I don't know If I would qualify as a"remittance man" or not, BUT-- I am the blacksheep of my mothers family, church(both past and present), college, high and lower school, and so on!!

You only qualify, if your family is paying you to stay away and you live in Bora Bora or some such place and don't have a job. Just being the family "black sheep" doesn't make you a " remittance man" . ;^)

Dang, looks like we have another thing in common. I know in my mother's family, I'm often seen as a "black sheep" or "all thumbs" where I can do no right. I mean if I could save the world from Alien Space Bats, cure AIDS/cancer, benchpress a 1968 Buick and whistle "The Battle Hymn to the Republic" while doing a headstand, I would still not be good enough for my aunt. B-) Dunno if I'm a "remittance man" (not sure what one is if one bit me in the butt) or not, but I know that feeling. Boy, we are really spilling out guts here, normally I would be afraid to but hey, it is good, at least none of us are alone. B-)
