As for when she's 21 has our 21 been replaced by the teenage years, kids seem to do stuff a lot faster these days.

Let's hope her career development stops there and does not follow the normal career development of a woman. Statistics show that for 75% of women(*) it goes like this:

1. Baby
2. Princess
3. Difficult teen
4. B***h
5. A real B***h
6. Witch
7. A real Witch

John would probably tell you I'm still no's 5 through 7.

Boo, Yes I'm trying to keep Han from growing up too early, she's an old soul as it is but she doesn't need to dress like a Trollop just yet. I'm bad cop in our house anyway, she's not even allowed to wear nail polish except special occasions.

we relented this xmas about nail varnish but we got selina a moshi monster nail kit with the nice green blue and pink colors of moshi, with little nail size transfers of moshi characters so its still kiddie without the vamp.
selina is 10 now so plenty of time for all that yet.

Just heard from my estranged wife for the first time since she left a couple of months ago. Just playing with my emotions and head, no chance of reconciliation. Why do people do that? (Rhetorical question I know) That plus the rain all day has me a little blue I guess. So far this hasn't been a banner year for me, to say the least. Missed my usual opening spots (West Palm/South Florida Fair) and Tampa/Florida State Fair raised the rent to a point to where its not economically feasible for me anymore. ($150.00 a foot plus @ $2000.00 in dings per joint!!!) Looks like a lean season for me this year but you never know I guess. (Carnies are the last of the true optimists.... next spot/season WILL be better :))

What type of Showman are you Indy? :)

I own and sometimes work games. I know I know, but I have hanky panks no flat stores or alibis. If you play one of my games you are going to win..... something. Mostly games for the kids anymore as I am tired of the stereotypes about my business. I still have MOST of my teeth,( I am old you know) lol, only one small (hidden) tattoo, I shower at least once and sometimes 3 or 4 times a day (and REQUIRE that for my help). If any of my help comes in after drinking they are fired, period. NO cussing/flirting/thieving in my games or you're gone. This business has been pretty good to me over the years (put my daughter through college) and I love it. I'm a relic anymore as the business has changed mightily over the last 33 years, but imho its the best job in the world. Make decent money (usually), get to travel, meet many great people, and ........ (don't laugh), I get to make kids smile as part of my job.

Not all of us Carnies are ex-cons or druggies/drunks or idiots. ( I had a mark ,yes we still call some people that, ask me what I had in my computer bag once because he KNEW it couldn't be a computer!!!)
