...I 'm not sure how...but I did survive.  We had a surprise 15th Birthday party for my daughter, Jordan.  I had her best friend do the invites because she knew better than I who to invite.  We had over 16 teenagers in our house (CRINGE)..it was loud and got a bit wild at times but Jordan was surprised.   ....and my house really was clean yesterday bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko  bear_wacko

I know how you feel Judi, my daughter had an 18th party in the house a few years ago ... I felt like I'd been mangled by the time they all left!  A couple stayed late to help clear up, but even so it took the entire day afterwards to get things back to normal.

Oh my...you are wonder woman...I think I would need something stronger than a glass of wine...more like several shots of something good...  bear_original bear_original

Shelli, I'll take that wine now.


Also, my dughter is testifying on the phone today.  She was key in catching a criminal!  She was at a fair while visiting her dad this summer in Michigan.  She felt something repeatedly being pushed inot her legs.  She turned around and noticed that this CREEP was videotaping up her skort!!!!  That's right, skort not skirt so he did not see anything.  CREEP!!!  She quickly went to get her step mom who is a police officer...so is her dad.  I am surprised they did not rip him limb from limb.  Anyway her flight home was this past weekend and the court date is today so she has to be by the phone to testify.  Apparently this guy has a record in Maryland of this type of act.  What a creep bear_sad /.  Jordan is so pleased to have at least hepl catch this guy.

Oh, ew.  Poor baby.  bear_sad Hearing about stuff like this just makes me  bear_angry  bear_angry  bear_angry  bear_angry  bear_angry 

I'm glad some justice is being sought!, and how empowering for her to be able to assist in seeking it.  I'm sure the feeling that she can actually create outcomes that she will have from this experience will benefit her, her entire life.

Good luck with that!

Thanks Shelli.  We are very proud of her and even more glad that it has not had an adverse affect on her.  She hopes that after this he won't be able to do this to any other girls.
What is wrong with these types of people?!  Geesh...why don't they take up bear making or something else constructive. bear_wacko

Yes, just what we need in this industry.  More pedophilic voyeuristic bearmaking videographers. 

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm so glad to hear that you survived, Judi.  That gives me some encouragement.  My son and I teach a Sunday School class of teenagers and we are planning an overnight bonfire etc. at my place in September.  We are going to put the boys outside in tents and let the girls have the house.  It will probably get real interesting, but you survived and so can I.  Tell your daughter "Way to go!".  Somebody should have torn the man limb from limb.  I am so sick of these sexual predators who are allowed to walk the streets.  We received a notice that we have a sexual predator living two houses down from us.  It really angers me.  This guy is dangerous enough that the sheriff's department has to send us a warning to "watch ourselves and our children", my question is "Why is this guy even free?"  Who are the victims?  I guess what I mean is, if you look at the situation it's hard to tell the who the criminal is and who is being punished.

Oh, Judi . . . you brave lady!!  I'm so very sorry that Jordan had to experience that jerk's perverse behavior, but I think she's a brave and thoughtful young lady to want to help get him off the streets.  Kudos to her and to you!

Thank you for all the kind support laides.

Jodi, you must be some kind of hero to have that many people over AND to have all that cake on yoru floor.  I cringe at the thought.

Millie, I feel for you.  It's so unfair to have these people be a constant threat in our neighborhoods. bear_sad

Claire, I am the same way...I stress out when people come over. I am juist not much of an entertainer. bear_wacko
Well, after the court phone call I dropped off my son at my mom's house and took my two daughters for some retail therapy.....S H O P P I N G !!! :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:   Now I really need to go make some bears to pay for this adventure. bear_whistle   bear_wacko

I'll have that wine now. bear_thumb
