I know you weren't being mean. I was being silly--I was hoping the smileys would convey that.
It's wonderful to hear success stories from other people. Just read a really great article on Amazon hormones, too. Really made me think about the fact that Jasper is at the prime age for raging hormones, not to mention this is the prime hormone season, not to mention the fact that his whole life has been through TWO upheavals in several months. I know people on Birdboard have mentioned all of these, but it just didn't click in my mind until I read this article. Helped me appreciate where he's coming from a lot more.
