I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself. Besides, I don't think you have any choice, as Bou has already decided to be my adopted blog-mom.....
:)

I think it's already decided we go with option B. Besides, nobody really wants me as their blogfather!

Ain't that the truth! And I'd know, too... He doesn't even remember the title of your blog when he's your blog dad...

Option B. That way I can pull that stunt someday. ;-)

OOPs. Sorry. She's a B. Of course you could deny all support... you know... the deadbeat Dad thing. (You do realize I'm laughing, right?)

I'm staying out of this one. But as a former stray, you never know what might happen, they can become the biggest pain but the ones who stay very close to daddy!

;)

Oh, don't forget to add the clause now to the BE Family rules that you can not bring stray's home with out the adopting parents permission first... huh... see...

***realizes he's going to get his ass beaten and runs away***

B.

You've got to learn to take responsibility for all those little miscreants running around. That's what happens when you sow your blog seed as you've done.

And it's not like you don't ALREADY curse Contagion under your breath all the time, anyway.

I am a "rules based person", so it's probably best that I *don't* weigh in on this. but i will. And as a failed blog parent, I have experience here.

First, it is my understanding that someone becomes a blog "parent" when one 'motivates or significantly influences a new blogger'. (Single quotes because I doubt it's written that way.) If that is true, then it becomes important if Contagion - or Harvey - had this effect. It does not appear so.

Second, it is also my understanding that the intent of the Bad Example Family is to 'foster motivation and support amongst a group of bloggers'. (Again, single quotes - ibid.) Clearly, she is a good person and makes the BEF better.

Technically - structure wise - she 'fits' under Contagion. But I doubt she needed any of our help in blogging (point 'First', above).
It is not unheard of for grandparents and uncles to adopt siblings of relatives in Real Life.

Therefore, I support the adoption of CTG by Harvey.
I congratulate Contagion for having the wisdom to realize he couldn't do what was needed and sought a better situation for CTG.

And - most importantly - I welcome CalTechGirl to the Bad Example Family!
heh
(Insert comment about not *really* being related and hook-up possibilities here.)

*cough* I think you know my feelings on this, since you wouldn't let ME call you daddy.

B. What the hell. Guess my status as an annoying neighbor isn't in jeopardy yet? ;)

B as in Big Sister (for me). She already treats me like a little brother anyway. Beside what brother doesn't like it when their sister brings all her "girl" friends over.

B, of course, I need more adopted siblings!
