Hi, James!  Recently you wrote in a message to All:

         Manitoba, eh??  That's quite a long haul.  Good for you....  :-)



JB>  A few laughs were had, but a few harsh words were

         Sounds about par for the course... [chuckle].



JB>  I guess as long as there were more laughs than crasssness...


         Uh-huh.  So the net result is that you had a good time, anyway....  :-)



JB>  Poor cousin, says to me last thing, "Save up some money,

JB>  I couldn't stop laughing my butt off about that one.


         Yes... in theory, it may seem like an easy way out.  In practice,
those who are most eager to get "problem" kids out of their hair
often find themselves with two "problem" kids in place of one! 
Perhaps they forget, or don't realize, that humans tend to be attracted to
others who are operating at a similar level. I would be inclined to suggest
the 21 yo grow up before getting married....  :-Q
