[blparent] OFF Topic: Question about Car Titles

Sat Jan 2 23:17:21 UTC 2010

Just for the record, I didn't ask whether anybody thought Erica should have 
a car, or whether I should help with the purchase of that car.  I would 
prefer it if you stuck to the question I asked and kept your judgmental 
remarks to yourself.  Erica is a responsible girl, and I'm sure she'll live 
up to her obligations or I wouldn't have decided to help her out. I'm not 
her biological mother, but I care about her very much, and I don't want her 
riding the buses in her neighborhood alone at night when she does get a job. 
I don't know, call me a softy or something.
