Did you know if you type 'Neil' into Google - just Neil, the first three things that pop up are Neil Gaiman?

Mitch Benn pointed that out on his podcast, and I checked it out, and he was right.

Mitch Benn is awesome. Just saying. He has some brillant songs one can download from his website. My favorite is The Devil and a Hard Place, which is a song full of mixed metaphors. I find this amusing on many levels. [livejournal.com profile] better_wishes knows why. :)

I've been slowly rebuilding my music on my iPod. In many ways this was good, because there were tons of songs I never listened to, and tons of songs I'd like to listen to, but there were so many they hardly ever came up on the shuffle. But there are songs I miss, too, because I'd gotten them from someone, or I can't find my CD. There's some Fry and Laurie songs I don't have any more, and some John Barrowman songs. And others, but I'll survive.

Okay, help.

One of Charlie's friends, let's call him Bob, apparently has a stealing problem. This is according to the parents of another friend, people whom I have no reason to doubt, and there was a time when $4 went missing from Charlie's wallet when Bob was the only one around.

He's a nice kid, and I don't know if I should say something to Charlie, or if I should just discourage him from coming over, but, other than the money, I haven't seen anything else, and Charlie really likes him.

What should I do?

Has anyone talked to Bob's parents? (Not that I'm suggesting this--it's a bit of a minefield--just curious.)

Kids who steal sometimes do it because they need attention they aren't getting at home. Not having the kid over anymore doesn't seem like the way to go. Can you have them together in situations where you can see them from wherever you are, or situations where there is nothing to steal (i.e. at the park)?
