Mbo, you put that bippie-bet on a winning horse and get yourself down here to Oz, ASAP. Don't want to get left out of your list of must-meet-Mudcat-mates!!! Gotta have that Rosbif-trio, quartet, whatever with Alison, Spider Tom, and the rest of the gang.

McGrath, I see your point - I wasn't really saying that kids have to only make friends with people their own age - this kid isn't making *any* friends right now, of any age, and that's really sad, and a little scary to me.
