>>> I was wondering if maybe I could hire you to give me some help. See, everything's calmed down now. The yelling and fighting has stopped but I have some pretty bad news. Siguard's been formally disowned by his mother and I hadn't thought about it until he brought it up yesterday. At

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too... And what sort of friend would I be if I didn't help you when you needed it? But I'll make a "deal" with you. I *TEACH* you how to play the investment game the way I play it, that way you are managing it yourself in the end. You're more than capable of doing this, it's just that teacher made everything way too complicated with too much jargon and mumbo jumbo that was pageantry and got in the way of the useful information

Can't head home early. I asked him if he wanted to, but he was firm that he wasn't leaving his brother in Oslo until he certainly had to. He wants to be in the same city in case his brother needs him. I personally don't know if he's going to actually be able to leave and visit with Siguard at the hotel, but my little Siggy is terrified of the 'what if I leave and then he comes looking for me and then I've abandoned him!?' scenario. I want to ask him to marry me, but, part of me is afraid to do it right now... because I'm worried that he'd just say yes too fast, but then a little while, maybe even years down the road, he'll hate me and be resentful and feel like I took advantage of his distress. I don't wanna trap him into a union with me, I want him to be stable when I ask him, so if he ever regrets loving me it'll be his own fault for falling for my charms and not mine for taking advantage of an emotionally compromised fella. Maybe I'll buy a ring when we get back to the island, I'll take Francis with me, he understand these kinds of

Do what you feel you must, just know Ti and I are literally an hour flight away if you need anything.

Tino will probably call Siguard later if I know him, he'll worry himself to death until he talks to Siguard personally.

All I can say is hang in there, even if it sounds shallow even to my ears.

Thanks man, I grant you one 'get out of harassment free card.' Use it the next time I'm being a dick and remind me that I'm a slug of the earth. Siguard's waking up. I'm going to tell him that Tino's probably going to call so he can steel himself for it. I think he'll make it though, he's been separated from his brother before, this is no different, and once his brother's an adult and outside the sphere of his mother's control perhaps they can be together again. And hey, they can still email each other and video chat like Tino and his folks do. It won't be so bad. I just gotta keep telling him that.
