@Albert1434 I didn't ask for the definition of a lickspittle; I asked how saying "Hello" to someone could POSSIBLY, in any way, be construed as Lickspittle-esque behavior.

Well I know which one Page would definitely not pick - toad-eater - he has said many times he doesn’t… oh wait… that was frogs… close enough, he wouldn’t eat toads either

Well, I've been dreaming of writing so often, that I should probably do the thing.  Hope everyone has a lovely evening.

It was snails. And actually, Max, Morgan and I had brunch at Brasserie Amie this morning. No snails were involved this time. Max ordered the eggs Florentine. Morgan had a ham, egg and cheese croissant sandwich, and I got the apple fritter French toast.

Watch this and contemplate how everything in nature is connected... and how we constantly interfere...

How are you Terry

Hi Albert!   I was not so good last night.  I think I had a case of stomach flu.  Better today, but still tired from not getting enough rest.  What's the Hawaii countdown now?

I hope you had a pleasant day, dugh. My fingers are crossed. Sorry about the Canadian thing.  

The day was pleasant despite a nasty migraine that flared several times. Fortunately, sales occur in odd "lumps", things are quiet then suddenly the shop is full of folks and all four of us are busy before the shop empties and all is quiet again. During those lulls I can sit and rest. I am thoroughly enjoying the Canadian thing far more comfortable than the hot muggy stuff that comes up from Texas and the Gulf.

Happy Saturday, all!   Still hoping my new western gets more attention through reading, story likes, recommendations, and reviews, but it is what it is. Anyway, here's another cowboy...

It's an excellent read and as I mentioned in the review I hope for more. I sometimes wonder if releasing so many new things in a relatively short time causes things to be overlooked. It's like wondering into a new candy store. Just when you think "Oh! I'll have that please." something else catches your eye and you're off in another direction. Just as your other Sidewinder Tales continue to generate reads and comments so will this. I know, instant recognition eases some of the trepidation when you share something new. Just know you've done very well with this story ... more please

You meant writing, ... not some other thing, right? Enjoyable as that other thing might be.

I think B was referring to a discussion on frog legs that predates Max's foray into the exotic.

Good Morning Dugh!  I kind of remember the frog leg conversation.  I bet Drew could find it in a minute or two.  I hope today goes better for you.

Aloha All

I thought we discussed frogs ages ago… well before Max was brave enough to try snails. Glad you all enjoyed your brunch

Yes that’s the one 

[Bucket1]

A bit tired here. I did a few errands (and spend more money than I should have) but nothing too much.

I'm going to listen to my body and go to sleep… or read and suddenly find it's past midnight

We're way better than Texans.  

Hey, bro and Mum in SC.

Hey Gary!  I checked the numbers on Boundaries today.  I was very impressed with all the recommendations, reviews and comments.  It is one of the top stories in the 2022 Anthology according to readers.  

How are you feeling today?  I hope you are getting some rest.  I'm almost back to normal today, but I still took it easy and stayed home.
