I live with a thief thread ...

Why is it locked? That was great entertainment. I fowarded the video link to a few friends to check it out, but thats now private.

Whats the sense in posting something on the net if you cant handle the backlash you will recieve.

This thread could have been epic, and Wolfe could have been famous.

My guess is that the whole ****z is now "evidence".

Nostatic threw a lock on it so Miguel wouldn't steal anything from in there...

Seriously, Baz, you'd want your money back. I'll admit to ten minutes and that was way, way, way more than anyone needs.

The idea that Miguel is our future is one scary idea.

An example: (I'm paraphrasing, but this is how the whole 10 minutes sounded to me)

Adult voice: "And no more smoking weed in our house"
Miguel: (real whiny voice, close to crying) "What? Noooooooooo. We didn't agree to that"

It was interesting... in a horribly bloody multiple fatality car accident kind of way...

Wolf seem like a nice guy, I feel bad for him.

The thread was locked down for many good reasons, many rude and uncalled for things said to and about Wolf and his girlfriend.

I have to say it did make me feel better about my ungrateful entitled step daughter whining about "why doesn't someone pay for my college?"

Like what? Everything I read seemed called for, under the circumstances.

Scott,

If you did not like the comments on the thread here, go to the other thread where Wolf got butchered. This one was mild compared...

Oh, believe me, the other two threads on the guitar forum went epic, to the point that people were turning against each other.

This, for the most part. Seems that some people have trust issues with their SO, and/or couldn't figure out that she had done things in her past that she does not do any more. I'm sure we all have at one point or another.
Neither one of use are perfect, and dealing with someone who's getting unruly is challenging. If I had started "fresh" with Miguel... if he were my kid...he wouldn't have grown up the way he did.

Miguel and I had a talk yesterday that went on over an hour. No yelling or screaming. First thing I told him at the start was that he needed to learn the "Fine art of shut up and listen" which he appeared to do.
I spoke to Miguel about the "Bobby" issue and guess what... the little bastard was there and there was nothing going on. Like he said in the video, he just wanted to throw her under the bus and cast doubt in my mind.
He's still on watch, though. I give him a month at most before he screws up...


I let him know in no uncertain terms that, much like eating Lima beans, I don't want to throw him out, but I will

1st of all, I know Wolfe from the Pacific NW XXX meets. He's a nice guy....

Regarding the son of the current SO....I was there once and refused to let her move in with me or get married until he was out of her house...It went that way for four years...A month before he graduated from high school, she told him had had a week to be out of her condo. She was leasing out the condo and moving in with me...

Looking back, I think he acted up a lot back then because he was jealous of the time she spent with me.....Now, 20 years later, he's a Chaplin in the Army and a First Lt.....Married with 3 kids....

He turned out much better than his older brother (a drunk) that lived with his father when we were dating......

Wolfe with get thru this, I have faith in him following the advise given to him......
