IN: It 's always great to have a new baby in the family . And he was really good , too , considering he was getting passed around all afternoon with no nap . Writing is finally going my way ! My fic for the Sirius / Remus Fuh - Q Fest is done and in the bag .
What do you think about the family 's new baby ?

OUT: I think the infant behaves well .

IN: A few years ago when the two " snowthrowers " I had ( my boys ) got older and too busy to shovel anymore , I bought myself a snowblower . Additionally , we own our share of hats and gloves and coats and scarves and know how to dress for the weather . We all have ice skates , and snow skis and snowbords stand ready and at attention .
Why have the boys stopped helping with the snow shoveling at home ?

OUT: As they have gotten older , they have become less interested in helping as readily

IN: I tagged along with Mike and his friend Stu to Ophir yesterday . After waiting around for an hour , Grizz ( a large but friendly man ) showed up and let us into the Emma Mine as far as the shaft ... He would n't come along himself because he 's claustrophobic . He told us he does n't want anybody going back without Tyler ( a man who is much like a son to him , from what I heard ) because of liability issues .
Why was Grizz not with the group ?

OUT:
Grizz does not like tight spaces .
