But some of it does appear to be basic to growing up. If I had it do over again with him, I'd start pushing him to give more to his family when he was younger so that the habit was in place. He's good with others; it's us he seems to take for granted. <BR/><BR/>Tomato cages are generally circular, made of chicken-wire weight fencing, and designed to support the plant as it grows. I've used both cages and stakes and prefer the cages because they support the branches as much as the plant.Mary O.

You do realize that there is NO ONE in the house - nay! the world - that understands him, that he is alone, misunderstood, overworked, etc. He probably does not fit in your family and has figured it all out. He doesn't belong. Probably was left on your door step by strange mystical creatures with magic powers who will be returning for him one day...THEN you'll be sorry!!!! <BR/><BR/>Teenagers: just a matter of keeping it in perspective.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helped. :^DDebbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34178755.post-81162160744463422552008-06-24T00:28:00.000-05:002008-06-24T00:28:00.000-05:00Oh, noone can wear the cloak of darkness like a te...Oh, noone can wear the cloak of darkness like a teenager!!!
