- Nope, nor my birth sons either. They can work their way through college
- just like my husband and I did. They know that, I've told them, either
- they get good enough grades for scholarships or they work and go to school.
- Actually, of the three, I only see one of them going to college, my youngest
- son. He's the only good student of the three. In fact, he told me the
- other day, he's planning on MIT or Stanford, which ever offer him the
- best scholarship. He's only 13 so has a way to go yet. But plans to
- graduate highschool at 16. He can do it, he's already taking HS level
- classes and is bored with them.

- Don, don, don...... I've told you repeatedly about the condo. It's really
- none of your business how I spend my income. And why you are SO obsessed
- about it is really strange to me; you seem to have such a problem about me
- having a foster child, too. Seems that you have so much hate and hostility
- in you, it's sad. And I feel very sorry for your kids. If you are this
- nasty on the net, I bet you are a real psycho in person.
- You have been so incredibly hostile to Lisa who was only trying to keep a
- home together for her kids, you've bitched on and ON and *ON* because my
- family (including my foster son) are taking a vacation. I really wonder
- about you and why you have such problems...... Ever thought of counciling?
