[QUOTE="Star*, post: 239896, member: 4964"] Terr - A good friend of ours was living in Zimbabwe when the wars were raging. His parents were actually missionaries. He grew up through stuff that I couldn't even fathom. Horror stories he has told make my skin crawl. Sadly - his personality is addictive and he's an alcoholic and addict. He said he never felt like he got attention from his parents during those years in Africa AND felt like he was less than because of their involvement with the children there. I told him someday - (laughing) we'd all go there on a trip and he could show us around. I want to see the waterfalls, he's a great story teller and so vivid about the place. Your book sounds like a must have already. Oh - almost forgot to add to our list - Huggy Bear. You remember the dude from Starsky and Hutch? With the crazy colored polyester pants and matching shoes, and beret? Well add about 30 years to make him in his late 50s, and some "street" slang - with gold chains.....and THAT was the last man that we fired before he EVER got to spend time with Dude. He walked in and said to Dude "Man we gonna flip da script." and I said "You? Arent' FLIPPING anything but outta here." and he sat there amazed. I told the entire table "YOU PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING." - of course the man tired to defend himself with his flippy scrippy stuff..but I saw clear through him - He was FIRED permanently from that program about a month later on accusations of improper behavior from another clients parent. Yes, we've had our fill of stranger than us folks. [/QUOTE]
