You told me that I needed to take the hits because bad guys wouldn’t hesitate to use my family against me. I accept that as the truth, but isn’t t...e corollary that anyone who uses my family against me is, by definition, a ‘bad guy?’“As far as training goes, the gloves are off. Throw whatever you like at me, and I’ll stand or fall on my own abilities, as long as my family is not endangered for real. I’ll take the hits. Vince Wragge also told me I had all the prerequisites to be a Healer. If. But I would have won even if he was there. Still it would have been nice to have won by beating him." Beating him at what?" I asked as I sorted through the tomatoes."You know?" he said. "The race in the park we run in. Every year they have that 5K. I won it yesterday." How many years have you run in it?" I asked."For about five years," he said proudly."So last year when he had the flu and ran with a fever and the chills, he beat you Huh?" I asked."Yeah I guess," he said. His tone was a lot less. It had always been fun to see them getting turned on, especially the ones who’d wanted me but couldn’t have me. But now that I had Dave, all of a sudden I didn’t find the other guys in the shower nearly as exciting. And it turned out not to be three guys, but four! Four girls, with four boyfriends, laughing it up and having a good old time. There were supposedly individual shower stalls in this gang bathroom, but the privacy curtains had disappeared long ago, and even the curtain rods were. My daughter Tilby was 13 and my step daughter Mya was 12, both in the 7th grade this year. When I got married, I thought Tilby having a "sister" so close to her age would be great, but Mya only say her as an extension of me and treated us both like the intrusion she thought we were.I rounded the corner to the fitting room and the tweet made a lot more sense, there stood my step daughter Mya, having to stoop so low as shopping at wal-mart instead of the so many name brand stores she was used.
