When it is done.

Picture yourself in a boat on a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly A girl with kaleidoscope eyes Cellophane flowers of yellow and green Towering over your head Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes And she's gone Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers That grow so incredibly high Newspaper taxis appear on the shore Waiting to take you away Climb in the back with your head in the clouds And you're gone Picture yourself on a train in a station With plasticine porters with looking glass ties Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Actually Kalaupapa still has two patients and they prefer "Hansen's Disease" to leper. https://www.staradvertiser.com/2026/10/02/breaking-news/patients-staff-expected-to-return-to-kalaupapa-after-power-restored/

I don't get why people marked "sad" in their thumbs up choice. Yes a lot of the chapter was rough, but it ended very sweetly and hopeful.

Y'all need VPN where you can choose the country for the server to be in.

Uh.. umm... Didn't Brad's mother committ suicide and have a severe drug problem. Didn't Will's mother have severe mental illness?

You take that back! 🤣 I've only voted for one Democrat in my life, but Fetterman could be #2. I disagree with 80% of what he beleives, but he seems uncommonly grounded with common sense and practicality.

PS thanks Mark, like Tim, I marvel at your discipline and sacrifice. When Tim and I discuss you and your writing, it is mostly nice 🤣🤣

Will doesn't have problems, he has irritants. The kids at Father Tim's mission have problems. The kids in Covenant House have problems. Many families in the looming Great Recession will have problems. Will lives in a bubble untouched by reality. Forgive me my razor sharp mind, but ro "behaving rationally" and "planned abduction" really go together?🤣 To me, it is the opposite Brad was right and Marie deserved more respect than petulant Will's storming from the cafe. I think that is one of Will's problems. He is used to his family thinking they are a law unto themeslves. Stef's comment, “Come ride in my new helicopter,” he said enthusiastically. “Since it is just you and me, we are taking the small one. It is quieter and thus will hopefully not bother our neighbors.” He said that last sentence with a distinct note of annoyance." That is how far Stef, the impovrished Paris street urchin is from his past. He is upset that his neighbors are upset by the annoyance of his self indulgent helicopters. 🤣 Don't let your tongue get stuck in your cheek!

Jane Austen?

"You Don't Own Me" is like a Baby Boomer anthem? Maybe the Klaus Nomi version.

Jake does not seem like a brotherly advice kind of guy, more like do.

Only if it is Leo.... in the Total Eclispe era 😄 Hubby has stayed in shape, dear Leo has not.

Feel sorry for Travis? Oh man, I'd love to fuck Kendo, he sounds hot. Sort of like Leo. (legal Leo of course 🤣)

Were? 🤨
