Hi Frosty. Being a parent myself (threefold) I totally agree with you mother. I don't find anything wrong with being protective or overprotective. It seems that the world has gotten goofier since I was a kid. I ran around unsupervised all the time. Sure, I drove my mom crazy with worry, but that was a different era.She cared, even obsessively, but like I said, it was some time back. Today, I won't even let my 7 year old daughter go to a friends house down the street unsupervised! There are are just to many wackos out there.
I echo Bill, I (we) enjoy your enthusiasm, humor, and input. It's nice having a fresh voice in the forum. Of course, I hope to see some of your work, as maybe some might be curious of mine. I will say you have it right, the dark side rules. Are we not the funnest forum? It seems we have a humor that some of the others don't quite share. Just my opinion.
