    Moving Day

    Oh, so much love to share. It amazes me that some people seem to have an abundance of love and share it openly with others and are happy to do so; while others seem to have none to give and if they did, they wouldn't share it with anyone but the person looking back at them in the mirror Moving in with someone is a huge step, especially when you are so young and this is the first time, When it is really the first time away from living at home it can be even more traumatic.
  3. Wow. Can I just say...that I hope something really awful happens to Theodore.
  4. It looks likeOscar will no longer visit his mother and siblings due to his mother's bad opinions.attitude . She seems to not like Oscar and that is sad.His siblings are upset. Hmmm His grandparents have thought ahead and showed Oscar a new building complex made for him. It will be modular and is going to be built in phases and hidden in a hill with camouflague at the right area. I think they need to explain the project better to him. It is much large than needed for one person. He will need others to live and work in the complex. Why and to what end?
  5. Today
  6. Great story. I started off reading and commenting on each chapter, but have been just so busy that to ever get thru the story, I just gave up on that and decided I would just wait until the end. Love all the characters and the story line. I hope we get to see a lot more of some of these guys in the near future. Thank you so much @Mrsgnomieyou and other authors are greatly appreciated for what you do. please keep up you great work.

  8. It's okay, Disney will just resurrect me again.
  9. “How dare you speak to me that way, I am your mother, show me some respect,” my mother said in a loud voice, which made me stagger back to the vehicle. “Selena, you are clearly not thinking of what is best for Oscar’s health and well-being, so we will not be staying here this weekend, tell Myles that I will give him a call later this evening, to discuss more permanent arrangements for Oscar’s future,” Gramps said to Mum, as Gran guided me back into the vehicle and I secured my seatbelt, before c
  10. For those that don't know this part of history, some of the raiders were quickly captured and executed (by hanging) as spies, including Andrews, who was a civilian and whom the raid was named after. Eight of the raiders managed to escape, and although the 1862 raid was exciting, it had little effect on the war. The General survived and is now in a museum at the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History Kennesaw, Georgia. Another train, The Texas, was chasing the General and trying to stop it, and although The Texas never caught up to it, The General ran out of fuel 18 miles short of its destination, Chattanooga, Tennessee. The Texas is now located in the Atlanta History Center. This same raid was also the inspiration for the 1956 film, The Great Locomotive Chase, a Disney production.
  11. And I'LL retroactively claim all K-pop guys from the last 20 years.

    No. Hannah and Connor didn't meet til college.
  13. About the Western and Atlantic Railroad, speaking of The General (note the W&ARR on the locomotive's tender): A defining feature of the middle latitudes of North American, dominated by the USA is the massive, nearly flat Mississippi River valley, whose navigable waterways penetrate deep into the country's interior. It's a perfect situation for the bulk transportation of raw materials, with which the USA is loaded. However, all those rivers go drain into the ocean in only one place: New Orleans. Another defining feature is the Appalachian mountain range, which separates the colonial ports on the Atlantic from the Mississippi valley. Masses of capital were expended trying to get canals and later railroads through the rugged folds to take shipping away from New Orleans and enrich the eastern states. The state of New York just happens to have natural passes that connect the Hudson River to the Great Lakes. Projects like the Erie Canal were the first successful passages, fueling New York City's modern commercial dominance. The state of Georgia took up the challenge of connecting its ports -- Macon, Savannah, and Augusta -- to the Tennessee River at Chattanooga, once they got the Creek and Cherokee evicted and shipped off to Oklahoma. The state chose a site by the upper Chattahoochee River to connect up all the railroads before routing them north through the mountains on the Western and Atlantic Railroad. The site was called "Terminus", then to emphasize the cross-continental nature of the new city, it was renamed Atlantica-Pacifica, later shortened to Atlanta. (If you read "Gone with the Wind" you knew this already) It's still a massive transportation hub, and the biggest city in the southeast USA.
  14. If you do, I'll retroactively claim Neo, Mark, Khaotung and Book.

    Good time getting high, and explaining to M why he was not wanting to kiss M. Lousy experience in school, being bullied by his father and people at school. Was Hannah around, then? Then getting the dog and making M happy. Waking up with M in bed was too much, and he gave in to the Kiss. But like we know from the first food. M does not know what to do, and he bit Connor’s tongue… Connor runs into the man in black who calls him by name. Then escapes into the swamp. Hopefully M is safe with Jack to protect him…
  16. Don't make me recall Fourth and Meen and retroactively claim Boom.

    Chapter 3

    Some of those questions will be answered in the next chapter, sometime on Friday.
  18. This gif is from the movie "The General", starring Buster Keaton, a silent comedy loosely based on the Andrews Raid of 1862. US military spies hijacked a northbound locomotive -- The General -- in Big Shanty (present-day Kennesaw) Georgia, and drove it toward Chattanooga, destroying tracks and telegraph lines along the way, while Confederate troops gave chase on foot and aboard other locomotives. Watch the movie.
