You should probably find out for health reasons who your biological father is. I don't see why your immediate family would blow up at you, though. If it's because of a helath reason then I don't see why they'd have a problem.
Shocking, I know. How could I think such a thing?

Yes but that's a necessary evil! Both T'Bonz and you too Kate always shed insight and light on the topic your commenting on with your personal experience...so thank you lovely ladies.
Shocking, I know. How could I think such a thing?
No, not that, just the mention of tongue...
Euw! Funny, but still...euw!
Notice I am NOT using the tongue-sticky-outy smiley?
Agreed. Arrange for a time to meet with him at least once.
A Gin and Colonic?
Nothing wrong with that; when you gotta go you gotta go. Unless, of course, he put it back in the cabinet.
*bows down and worships*
That's fine....as long as you didn't put the bottle back.
But come on...you've never heard of pissin in a sink? Ohhh maybe I have my own confession to come clean with.
Pfft ... If you've tried beer, you know what piss tastes like.
Good I brought some joy to youHey Emher, thanks for the story, I for one didn't know it.
I had a similar experience also 3 years ago. (They were tightening security in 2006 or what?) I went to the same holding area and made the same observations, looking around the room. I was in Houston airport, needing to catch a connection to San Antonio where I was visiting a friend. I sat as innocently-looking as I could, reading a book, for the cameras.
The reason they detained me was I had spent 4 months in the US on a tourist's visa 10 years before. I was a visiting student (not on a student's visa but just sitting in on classes and using the library for a school term) and when I was informed I could get a 30 day extension to my 90-day tourist visa, a mere formality, I did it so I could stay until the end of the school term. I was having a blast experiencing American campus life - I spent more time having fun than researching for my MA, which is what I was there for. I ended up xeroxing a dozen books on the last week and basing my essay mostly on that.
Anyway, I went to the US several times between that stay in 1996 and 2006, including to New York in October 2001, but this was the first time they were bringing that up. (I had a brand new passport.) Calling it an overstay, asking me if I paid money for the extension or something. I told the hispanic dude at the desk about my fun time in college and my essay and mentioned the hispanic name of the friend I was visiting- precisely a friend from college 10 years before. He finally let me go saying from then on I should carry my old extension paperwork when I want to enter the country.
I ran and panicked a bit at the long security checkpoint. People were actually missing their connections over that. Whoever they begged, they weren't moved to the front of the line. After the checkpoint I ran like mad through the entire airport and barely made my flight.
I thought, when you love America, the feeling is seldom returned. My friend said this probably happened because it was a small airport and the customs were puffing themselves up, not so busy that they'd let little things slide; that it wouldn't have happened in JFK. But if that sort of thing happened to you in Newark...
I haven't tried entering the USA again yet.
And you story brings again to light my general sentiment about the US: a country full of awesome people and things, but at the same time it's also filled of idiots and idiotic things.
Present company excluded of course.
I will definitely go back to the US at some point though, I thought Atlanta was awesome and I need to see as much as I can of the rest of the country at some point. Plus I have to meet as many of the people on these boards as I can possibly take
KNNNEEEELLLL before Zod!
