Maybe I have a different take on things here.
I was adopted. There were 5 children and three of us came to my folks and were raised together.
One other sibling was raised 75 miles from us and we didn't know it until we were adults.
The youngest stayed in Switzerland where we were born.
Since we have grown up, we have been in touch. Matter of fact the one in Switzerland was over here for one year.
Maybe I'm just selfish, but so far, no good has come from all of us meeting. It has only complicateds life and hasn't improved anything.
We talk once a year or so. When we met, it was like meeting a distant relative, you know you are related, but have nothing else in common.
So far, finding the others hasn't done anything good for me and I think the others feel the same.
Sooo, I guess I don't really want to meet any of my other relatives, even the dead ones. They might turn out to be people I ain't too fond of. And then I would just feel bad, knowing I was related to them.
And I have met some celebraties and they are just like all folks. Some are pretty cool and some are a pain.
So if I'm going to have dinner with someone, it's probabvly going to be people who I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy their company(Saddle Tramp, Soapweed, nr, Mr nr, etc) as then I KNOW I'd have a good time.
Lifes too short to put up with jerks. Unless it would give you the chance to have some fun with them. :twisted:
