teddybear_Zach - he apparently hasn't been paying attention to the thread...lol. He's not from Alabama, we're originally from Lithia Springs, GA. He now lives in Bessemer, in a house that's been in the family for decades. Originally belonged to our great-uncle and his wife, then spent all of our lives as property of our grandparents. I lived there about a year and a half. Grandmother moved out and bought a place out near Tuscaloosa, and gave the old house to our parents.
As I said, he doesn't seem to have been paying attention, but I'm his sister, so I can provide a little background. I don't understand his end of the struggle, but he knows that he and I are in this together. We might butt heads a lot, but I do love him.
