Timelies all!
The little guy is sleeping in his swing, while I watch some things on the DVR. Gary should be home soonish.(his flight got in an hour or so ago, but who knows how bad traffic is?)
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wow, Steph, that's awful.
I was thinking about this while I was washing the dishes, and here's the thing: in any similar case of allegations of abuse, I believe the kid. I believe Dylan Farrow, not Woody Allen.
But I don't know them. My kneejerk reaction is to believe the friend I know. And I hate the thread of gay panic woven in there -- the accusation that gay teachers/Boy Scout leaders/priests are automatically assumed to be abusers *because* they're gay.
And yet, if this were just another case I saw on the news, I would believe the kid. (Except, because I don't have details -- and I'm not entitled to them -- I don't know what, if anything, my friend's nephew has said.)
This is really ugly.
Well, it's just terrible either way--either your friend is screwed, or the poor kid has been through stuff no kid should have to. Either way, bad. :(
How awful! I'm so sorry, Steph. What terrible uncertainty for you to have to carry, and what a sad situation for that family.
Oh, Teppy, how awful. I would be feeling just as you do.
God, Steph, that's awful, for all of them, and you too. The poor kid - he's going through a lot of shit, regardless of what's true.
That's awful, Steph.
Steph, that's horrible.
No matter the outcome, fallout will be horrific.
Just made up candy bags for the kids I've ferried to school. And their parents. They're cleaning up my leaves as thanks for the rides tomorrow. But I'm also getting rid of leftover Halloween candy (starbursts, mostly, they sunk to the bottom of the bucket . Saved all the good chocolates for parents' bag.) R was all "...but this is returning the favors" and I'm, yep, and ridding me of candy I do not want!
Still saving some to bribe other neighbor kids.
