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!!

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-)

Next time she criticizes you, tell her to shut up and mind her own business.

You'll be surprised how, in a very short time, she'll start talking to everyone about how much better Nowhere Man has become, lately. ;)
