[QUOTE="Steely, post: 220410, member: 3301"] Hey........... A Bonsai tree is a great idea. And so is a savings bond and a group pizza party! You guys are awesome. I have an email and call in for what is acceptable, but most of the things you mentioned are acceptable. It really is like a home, and he earns an allowance, and stuff, so no vending machines or anything like that. But he does really "get into things". He loves art stuff, when manic he was the most amazing artist. Now he chooses not to draw, but he likes to write and do other creative stuff. (Because of his dyslexia he hates reading - however - he does like those kinda books that are scientific and full of pics and facts.) A journal is a definite, and maybe a blanket, and I may get him a headlamp/flashlight since he is on 18 acres of land. But I like the idea of cultivating an interest, like Zen or art stuff. He used to be SO into that sort of thing, and it has all dissolved. Keep it coming please. This is really, intensely important to me. (Probably because of my own grief over this holiday season - but none the less it means probably as much to me as it will to him.) PS Witz I am doing absolutely nothing. I cannot take any time time off because I work retail. I am currently recruiting the few friends I have to see what they are doing. It will be OK. [/QUOTE]
