Come now, I still believe in Santa…my parents never lied to me. 😇 As I commented earlier, I think there may have been more to Julie’s story and motivations; but we may or may not ever learn the full truth…at least from her perspective.

Ironically I find many in these last generations that haven't learned to swim, how to ride bikes, work to buy their own cars, work on their own cars, or how to change a fat tire. One young fellow was frustrated when I asked for help reading the description of what I needed as the lighting wasn’t too good and the script smaller. Yup, cursive writing…and the kid literally said “ oh, this is cursive…ah, let’s see if I can make sense of it…ah…” We moved to more lighting and at that point I was helping him read the words, but he was actually curious and didn’t give up; having never been taught in school or home.

Unfortunately we may never know Julie’s motivations for living her own lie. It does seem she was freed from part of living that lie when her father passed, continuing when reckoning with her own circle of life. I’m not saying her actions were justified nor correct, but they were made as a young pregnant teen, that apparently had religious parents, and may have even feared for the safety of her pregnancy under scrutiny of teen pregnancy by a gay guy. Her dying wishes portray no resentment; so change of heart or freedom to let the natural course of family/blood bonds be taken…and faith that the boy she knew then was indeed worthy of her most treasured gift. We may yet learn more of her story and motivations but, without her own words to tell the story, it’s hard to judge those that can not defend or explain themselves…a complicated perspective of “don’t speak ill of the dead.” I always thought that was somewhat logical that if it wasn’t known, shown, or owned before their dead…then there’s no point to piling on the dead while acting innocent 😇 within the one sided tale.

Oh my, from a part of the world where not everything is sexual…oh but to wonder if the contact is more or less; if the compass needle points north then perhaps a trip to the North Pole is magical 🧙♂️. -

Ding, Ding. Ding. We had a winner, it is indeed Miley and from her Wreck’n Ball video…which was very reflective of her life at that point; thank goodness that phase wasn’t too lasting. She’s very talented but I was afraid we might witness another Britney Spears. -

Let’s just use the generic…the ex. -

Did you unplug the iron?

Ahhh now, things will get sweaty and sticky if they trap all that heat between them. 😈

Ohhhh, many things will…come up, just how they…handle them remains to be seen.

Perhaps both Martin and Nathan’s ex-s could circle their wagons and commiserate their misfortunes; not of having been married to these men, but rather missing their gravy train in their timing of divorces. One still to learn of her ex being a Lord and heir to fortunes still to be totally defined, the other, unable to see just how she might benefit more from her ex husband hero.

Even the English language experts, hell any language expert, has to be reminded that…society, people write the rules of language and communication; thank goodness, I’d never survive that Shakespearean crap. I remember my tenth grade English teacher insisting “ain’t, isn’t a word,” until that new edition of Webster English Dictionary came out. I proudly marched into his class, read the word and definition , then proclaimed…ain’t that something!

Damned emotionally detached AI programming; one has to feel the heart pumping and the snake plumping to understand sentences are like backseat teenage sex. Let’s just whisper those fragments as necessary. 😂

Business? 😝 Yeah, but whose? I don’t think it’s anything bad; it’s not apparently jealousy, dare I say it’s happiness…perhaps that Ash has interest and that interest seems to be developing as reciprocal? Ahhh, you tease. 😝

It almost beds of what rumors may have followed Taggert, even if all has remained unspoken thus far. Other men can recognize a good job and not want to risk it on rumors. Yet, if they start seeing things that could indicate beyond rumors then all that could change…rapidly. James is ultimately the boss though, so I don’t think this is nefarious, as he could have already influenced the outcome had he wanted.

Nicely said and great comparison; what will the garden grow…

There’s always hope, if only to find it…

Which dimension? 😂

Not that fire water either, healing not numbing waters.

Whether it’s religious or scientific there is a way to approach suspected events. The same methodology used to declare miracles should likewise be used for “events” disturbing the congregation. Likewise, science and public safety organizations can apply forensic testing protocols for any alleged evidence. Let’s see, if we bind the witch and throw her in the river, then if she sinks and drowns, she’s not a witch, if she floats, the she is a witch…..sorry Sara drown Harry, we were sure she was a witch. 🧙 Now throw her best friend in the river…I bet she’s the guilty witch!

No doubt Cianàn is weaken but seemingly…thinner…in presence and spirit. Hopefully the reviving or replenishment needed will be found and recognized for what it is coon.

Perhaps another time?, Scientifically it could presently be unexplainable and therefore doesn’t belong to the known comparative tests that will explain it completely; something that requires much investigation but may still not yield its secrets within known modern science. I say much of this in the sense that cultural and time period expressions often leave those outside that subset grasping for meaning within their own; my partner, born and raised in an entirely different culture, with little English language exposure has many things and expressions that confuse people when they com up. Conversely, people will jump to the first logical meaning that they can grasp as the meaning…often with hilarious but sometimes costly impacts before the backtracking brings light. The earlier comments of why Declan hasn’t or Cianán himself explained more,…perhaps from their own perspectives it is self explanatory and they don’t realize others are seeing differently. Cianán has been explaining much as he shares with Aiden, and has likewise asked for help or demonstrations when he doesn’t understand. So Declan is not contaminating his observations with his own influences but doesn’t try turning Cianán into a Guinea pig either.
