The Norm by Michael Jantze
One Big Happy by Rick DetorieAbout On A Claire Day
The step into adulthood is a scary one. So much is new, unfamiliar, frightening, incomprehensible. Claire has just taken this step. She’s moved from her parents’ to her own apartment, to start life as an "adult". Armed with a good heart and an optimistic spirit, her challenge is she still has so much to learn about life: the nuts and bolts of managing a job, a home, how people interact, relationships, planning for her future, and so much more.
We’ve all been through this. In fact we go through it every day. We all know how tough, but also funny, it can be, as we move through life’s situations if we take our knocks with good humor. And we know also how very rewarding it can be when we actually occasionally get things right.

Hm, I still don’t understand coffee. I never was big into boiled bean water.

Ej, I don’t either, I have to put about ten packets of sweet and low (dissolves quicker) and a whole bunch of cream to keep from gagging. I am the only one of my friends who goes to a coffee shop and orders an Italian Soda or bottle of water.

I’m a two-Splenda and cream coffee drinker myself. And I wouldn’t rank petty theft with parking in a handicapped space as an able-bodied person, but yep, we pick our ethics all right. Pay no attention to the contents of my hard drive!

I wasn’t a coffee drinker either until I discovered the benefits of caffeine. Now addicted. ;)

Well, if she does the 50 cent thing every weekday she’s stealing $125 (I gave one week off).
I’m disabled, use a cane. Mom’s fully wheelchair bound. I hate when the spot’s taken by a car with no tag, stored carts (too many for the store to move without that little R2D2 unit) or mis-plowed snow- all of which is illegal as well. Unless they set out temporary ones like when the parking lot’s near construction…
But if they are just running in, see the line’s short, and there’s another handicapped space are they causing $125 of damage? According to Iowa it’s only worth $100! Illegal Parker wins over Petty Thief!
