And honestly I had nothing to do with it! Besides, Mike was so darn little (back then!) that he could have crouched down in the corner of the porch, and no one would have seen him until his mother could have rescued him in due time. But, if he was being his typical self (back then!), he probably stood on the porch ledge and shouted like there was no tomorrow!! Question: Did Brian TAKE your shorts, or were you running around the house in your underwear (like you always did back then!)? Just wondering.....

You know, I do have an edgy side that does rear it's edgy head every once in a while! Think it would be satisfied with a piece of jewelry...even if it is masculine?!

Or engrave your watch...you know, something that won't fade, and wrinkle, and sag when you do!

For that I truly and sincerely apologize!<br/><br/>Great posts so far. I just blew off 1/2 hr of work to read through them, and you're certainly tackling some heavy duty topics.

Great posts so far. I just blew off 1/2 hr of work to read through them, and you’re certainly tackling some heavy duty topics. Keep it up!

Oh, and if you end up getting a tattoo on your back end, let me know — perhaps a trip back to the porch would be in order…

Love ya Bro!

Yeah, I can understand why your wife is not so keen on the rear end tattoo plot. <br/>I know this was not the main point of your post - tattoos - but rather letting go of fear - however I think it's neat that you want one. I have a hankering for a tattoo as well...but my husband is adamantly opposed to the idea. Oh well. I have a big birthday coming up in December...maybe he'll come round by then. But then again...I have a fear of needles...so maybe this isn't the best idea after all.<br/><br/>As far as the fear thing goes...it made my eyes smart with tears. I can really empathize with that.
