Well, since only two live with us, it's kind of cheating, but honestly,
I'd rather have all seven (well, eight when Fiona's younger sibling Liam
or Siobhan is born in a coupla years.) But my stepson lives with his
dad, and my first four live with their mom, so we're actually a little
family of four most times, and three when Rachelle goes south to visit
her dad.

Yeah, exactly. Oddly enough, my only Nepali friend is in real life, at
work. She speaks English with a Scottish accent, since that's where she
learned it. I'm thinking I could travel anywhere in the world and find
*someone* I'm acquainted with.
