Popular Post raven1 Posted June 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2023 2 hours ago, Page Scrawler said: The same. I decided to kick off Pride month by reading The Island of Beyond, by Elizabeth Atkinson. Eleven-year-old Martin is timid and barely able to face his own shadow. He can hardly imagine a worse summer, living apart from his video games and sugary breakfast cereal in front of the TV. To toughen him up, Martin's dad sends him to live with Great-Aunt Lenore on a tiny island in Lake Nevermore, Maine. But nothing about Beyond Island is what Martin expects. Not peculiar Aunt Lenore, not mysterious Uncle Ned---and certainly not Solo, the strange local boy who unexpectedly befriends Martin. Solo can swim, paddle a canoe, climb trees, and fend for himself in the wilderness---all things that terrify Martin. Regardless, Martin is drawn to Solo in a way he can't explain. But, can he can trust Solo? In fact, can he trust anything about this strange island, where everyone seems to be keeping secrets? This sounds like a great read for Pride month! I'll have to look it up. Oh, oh! That's the teacher in me speaking. Since I retired, I have been interested in reading books at a more mature level. Hope Max gets to read it! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no more of these guys can be claimed unless I reject them. 😃 I think a few missed the above post so certain spurious claims from the last couple of days are invalid. But I will be nice to my friend Clo, I'll allow her claim and let her claim all of the others. So Clo has a few nice guys coming her way. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to post your claim once Gary has shared the man of the day (or 2 or 3). Dugh, for some reason gets all the gingers or dudes in plaids or kilts because… he’s Gary’s favorite??? I think Val used to have dibs on some too, but she’s almost never around anymore. I personally think I should get all the clean shaven studs automatically, because those are usually the only ones I’ll ever claim. Unfortunately Drew and I have very similar tastes… it’s a miracle we’ve been able to agree on any of our claims in our PMs. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
