Living between Chicago and Gary, IN isn't a picnic, so we moved to the 'boonies' for her sake. She was starting to ditch classes and hang out and all the other stuff that goes on at that age and it just got to a point where I was having to leave work early everyday to pick her up 15 min. before everyone else was let go for the day. At first it was really hard because she lashed out with such a verbal barrage against us, refused to even try to make friends (we made her break contact with her old friend's as they were just as bad as she was). She hadn't always been like that, but the attention she got from the boys her age (11, 12, 13 yrs. old) was new to her and she didn't know how to handle all these changes. For us, it became a nightmare. The good news is that she eventually realized that we were'nt going to give in to her and she either had to get her priorities straightened out or it was only gonna get worse. She found an interest in clinical medicine and discovered that her new school had programs geared towards secondary education and careers. She is now graduating with Honors, is already a liscensed CNA, and will be going to college in the fall. Some father's can't wait 'til they don't have to pay child support anymore, I am now at a stage where I dread the fact that she won't need me anymore. But today, I am the happiest Dad in the world!!! |

| Well, if there are seats or space closer to the stage than we are sitting, you guys will have to take them and leave me behind. Not really able to "squeeze" in amongst the ravenous hordes like I used to be! |

It really depends on the venue - some are stricter than others. What I can't figure out though is why does the venue care if I take pictures when the band performing doesn't care at all and actually comes closer if they see your have a camera? And I'm with Guido - there should NEVER be ANY open seats up front at a Priest show dang it!

Heh...I was asking for it. It was the third time that same creature caught me. I really couldn't believe that they were being such jerks about it. TONS of industry seats open up front (plus, that damn guy wouldn't shut UP!!)

At least it was the last song, eh?
