Just one quick bitch ...

[Callaway]

I want to meet my son, but I'm scared shitless! It is hard enough to meet people who I don't care whether I like or not, but I have a pre-load on this one to like and be liked.

This is fucked! I want my open mind back!

My relative just flew out to California to meet her daughter she gave up for adoption.  It went really well.

Her daughter told her adoptive mother just before she came, and the adoptive mother invited her for dinner, so she could see the house her daughter grew up in. 

Her daughter has a son who is autistic.

[Calandale]

Screwed up my damned presentation.
Should know that I need to be
either drunk or dead tired to
deal with something like this.


Seems like nothing in comparison though,
just needed to put it down.

DD - good luck man. It's something you need
to do. I'd be terrified too.

Instant messaging has become a complete waste of space for me these days.

Dammit, I lost my fucking train of thought again-I did know where I wanted to go with this piece and now I've lost it.

That is good to hear, Callaway. Autism, huh? Maybe it runs in the family ... ya think?
 

I will have severe reservations, at least until the first meeting is behind us, I am sure. I am tentatively scheduling a trip to Memphis, which is almost halfway between us, in two weeks. I am lucky he lives near Dallas, which is only twelve hours away by car. In the meantime, I will continue to stim-pace on my toes and try to clear my mind of expectations and regrets. I probably won't be able to lay off the bag and let my hands heal, though.

I'll have to try to remember to actually sign in to MSN when I'm online- its ages since we chatted.

[Calandale]

Feel hungover.
Need sleep badly, but I'm
on office hours.

Scrote itching. Must not scratch.

Scrote itching. Must not scratch. 

Try GENTLE touching near the effected area.
I've found that this is a good trick for relieving
itching, without damage. Doesn't last long, but
you can keep it up forever.

[duncvis]

Seemed to work. Cheers. 

All things considered, it seems a little sadistic for them to insist you shave your knackers beforehand when they're going to be a bit delicate to scratch afterwards. 

[Calandale]

I'm glad that you finally put two and two together for me.
When I read that you shaved them, I had forgotten the
surgery, and thought that you did that in general.

[duncvis]

Fuck no, far too itchy. I trim em close sometimes though. Its only polite not to tickle your partner's nose. 

[Calandale]

I guess I'm not that considerate.
Though, my wife would have been
upset, had I trimmed them - she really
liked how soft mine are.

Try to relax DD. I'm not sure if i told you the story about my friend Rachel. She was found as a newborn abandoned at the bottom of a staircase of an apartment complex in Cincinnati.

Anyways, her birth mother tracked her down 25 years later only to find out that the two were spitting images of eachother. Heredity has a bigger effect on people than you think. I wouldn't be suprised if youy meet you son only to discover how simmilar the two of you are.

I know of several meetups between biologocal parents and their kids (my own half-sister comes to mind), and I have yet to hear of one of these meetings going bad.

He;s your own flesh and blood. I'm sure you will be blown away by how much he's like you. I wouldn't worry, if it's just the two of you and his mother's family isn't there, there should be nothing to cause a problem.
