Well, Mother,
I've yet to be astrocized. Probably because I've made use of special characters at the oportune time! Sorry you've suffered for the cause!
I've seen you 'round before and pardon me for asking: but what's up with your son?
I am the MothersSon. At any rate the Sun-Times published this Steyn column today- "When a member of the House of Lords went abroad after a homosexual scandal, King George V is said to have remarked, "Good God, I thought fellows like that shot themselves." It may, indeed, be a less revolting spectacle for a chap to take a tumbler of whiskey and a loaded revolver into his study than to go on "Oprah" and bore on about his personal demons, abusive father, etc., etc. But we live in different times."
The identical insinuation from me caught the attention of some well-intentioned thread nannies.
