I have a 17 Yr old missing in action at the moment so I am not positive what I am going to do. Since I am trusting in God that he is safe I should carry on with plans for the other kidlets which would include going to the beach and possibly the race track. Of course I will have to sleep late before any of this transpires. What will you do? ---

This is a conjugal visit weekend. I’m flying to Baltimore on Thursday night and I don’t come back here till Monday night. We’re going to start packing up my dad’s old tools that my mom offered to us. And we’ve got some chores to do on the boat - I need to splice a line for the mainsail furling. We were supposed to meet another Doper for dinner on Sunday, but I think that’s fallen thru. All I really care about is spending some time with my husband. ---

I’m going to [Darlington](http://darlingtonraceway.com/)! ---

The only thing I like about car races is when the cars smash along the track. I don’t have the patience to watch them zip around in circles for hours on end. I hope you enjoy Darlington but that is not my cup of tea. ---

No big plans. Will probably do a doper dinner Saturday. Other than that – sleep, read, maybe watch a vid or two. ---

Well, weather permitting, the wife and I are hoping to go hiking in the Blue Hills on Saturday or Sunday. On Monday, of course, we will be glued to the TV watching the all-day “Law and Order” marathon on TNT… 😉 Barry ---

Don’t know where the kids will be this weekend–I’m hoping they’ll be with me. Maybe we’ll go kayaking. ---

**Isabelle** - your other thread appears to have dropped off this page. How’s about a little update. For some reason I have been thinking about you and your situation all day. I was a rather defiant 17 year old back in the day, I’m 33 now. And I got my fair share of tough love. Are you packing for him yet? BTW, I made it to where I am - see bio - from a tough place…he can do it if he bulls through it. ---

Well I don’t know where you stopped following but as of yesterday morning I refused to take him to work. When I got up he was dressed for work but we didn’t talk. He was on his NExtel talking to his boss (I assumed trying to get a ride) I called home later that day and there was no anwser. Last night at 8pm I called his cell to remind him he had a court appointed curfew and he hung up on me and avoided answering any more calls from me. He never came home last night. I don’t know where he was/is. His cell phone has caller i.d. so he knows when it is me. He currently does not have a probation officer but should get one within 30 days. If I call the state attorney and tell them all that he has been doing he is sure to return to the slammer. All I wanted was the livingroom cleaned, the bathroom cleaned, gas money and a thank you. So he is digging himself a grave because he isn’t getting what HE WANTS ---

Hang around the house, play Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, do whatever I need to do for school. ---

Welp, this is my birthday weekend - I’m turning _cough_31_cough_. Going on a camping / white-water rafting trip with a whole gaggle of friends. I’ve never been white-water rafting before, so it should be interesting. Of course, there will be a plethora of beer involved. Yay, drunken reveling in the woods! 🙂 –IDB ---
