We should extend the 16 years to "forever", knowing how overbearing some parents are

Maybe we should switch to a 16 year social experiment on the parents instead.

Too late for me. I only have one parent left and I just sent her a fancy jar of jam in honor of her 80th birthday.
(I sent the large jar because you know the grandkids will glom onto 90% of it.)

My Mom doesn't admit it, but I bet that's her all over.

So, when my brother's kids were little, my dad would have them over for supper one night a week. One night I walked in to find that my father had pulled the TV out so that the kids could watch TV while they ate. When I dropped them off at my brother's, I said to him "Do you remember how Dad would pull out the TV to let us watch it while we ate supper?" He looked at me like I had 2 heads. "Well," I said "He is doing it for your kids."

My maternal grandma is way nice to me than she was to my mom, uncle and aunt.
But she also says I was more behaved.

Well, when you started misbehaving, she could always send you back to your mom.

True, but then I was a bookworm and never did misbehave as a kid.

Was Mister Mind a cautionary tale for bookworms?

It still sounds better to be called a bookworm than a silverfish. I'm not the kind of person who freaks out over a bug, but those things are creepy looking.

It's odd how those creepy little things have quite a cool name. Silverfish.

My username is an accident. I meant to go with Chelone: the Turtlehead plant, but I got confused.
Just as well. Met someone else on another fan board with a variation of that name and she was hands-down one of THE most irritating people I've ever encountered online.

O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy: Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? It is nor hand nor foot, Nor arm nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O be some other name! What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, and for thy name, which is no part of thee, Take all myself.

Home from work, our Juliet Clears her morning meal. She dabs her skin with pretty smells, Concealing to appeal. "I will make my bed," She said, but turned to go. Can she be late for her cinema show? Cinema show...
Romeo locks his basement flat And scurries up the stair. With head held high and floral tie, A weekend millionaire. "I will make my bed With her tonight," he cries. Can he fail armed with his chocolate surprise?
Take a little trip back with father Tiresias. Listen to the old one speak of all he has lived through. I have crossed between the poles; for me there's no mystery. Once a man, like the sea I raged; Once a woman, like the earth I gave; But there is in fact more earth than sea.

With stupidity, selfishness and greed built in, that's going to be a tough one.

Also anything for a buck & just letting big corps. do whatever they want.
I want to move my old retirement fund from the Nineties out of the Vanguard program, because they fund the pipeline in North Dakota. But I haven't yet. I should stop procrastinating and start shopping around.
