Add water… and we get Flashdance flashbacks too.

It’s a throwback for sure, but it’s missing the crackling of the AM Radio Waves warbling over the old tube radio; at lest in the US, not sure how much variation in the radio bands were allowed, but I think they were still a similar AM Band.

Oops, missed the train but the ride seems to be better defined now.

The bridge between thoughts spoken and thoughts that remained within. Perhaps some conversation here was very well articulated but I would BOGO far as to say it’s unimaginable. Then again the argument that some adults are incapable of such higher communication is spot on, perhaps giving us bias against kids being more fluent than adults in developing emotional communication skills.

Squeaky Steve, not icky sticky, And if not, that’s Kenny’s fault now. Surprised indeed, at Steve’s subconscious confession of his experience being limited to Rosy and the girls, but at least he had things well in hand. I guess chaos has a price on personal life…then again, perhaps he always knew what he was waiting for.

Steve will teach him that nature gifted him a natural plunger for deep cleaning.

Perhaps his imagery is needing artistic stimulation?

Exactly, thankfully my names weren’t translated or said as something rude, crude, or embarrassing 😳 One is said the same as a bus though, kinda like being called a truck, but people waiting to ride you. 😆

Having been around the world myself, I understand the many spellings and pronunciation differences we as people may use to portray people and/or places…yet, still referring to the one and same. I myself am called something different by Japanese friends, family, and especially nephews; as the name doesn’t translate to be the same in Japanese. Likewise, I chose variations of my kid’s names that would allow the Japanese pronunciation to be the same basic sound of the more common variation of spelling it in the US. I have some cousins that history traces their ancestry to two brothers entering Ellis Island together, same day, yet standing in different lines when processed. Many people not reading or writing dependent of the processors to create their name of record. So, the two brothers have the same last name but one having an e at the end of his name and the other brother had none. It’s always funny to see the cousins at a reunion stating their lineage as the “e” side of the family. So K or C, I understood immediately without any implication other than spelling. He was very much a daily part of my evenings growing up, and as a paperboy for more than 8 years, daily news and current events were a given. The anchors following him have disgraced themselves and the news organizations in reputation and reliability. I barely remember those characters, yet I vividly remember him. 😭

Oh yes, I grew up with Walter Cronkite, from the assassination of JFK, MLK, RFK, Man on the Moon, Apollo 13, etc.to culminate with entering the Ronald Reagan era and then his retirement. Yes, now news is dead. We now have shallow and unverified activism. The protected source element of good investigative journalism has given way to masking unfounded claims and accusations in maneuvers of said activism; prove your innocence as anonymous sources can be quoted in what is libel masked as journalism. News and talk shows are exactly as you say, nothing more than likes…the equivalent of likes on any Meta platform. Open contribution platforms like Wiki, make research about as reliable as family gatherings for making informed decisions. 🤦♂️ Thank goodness AI, automated idiocy, is still an option vs a mandate. It’s a sad direction for which critical thinking has made a wrong turn and few seem to care. 🤷♂️

Ahhh, why push? Oh, tossing a pickaxe wasn’t the correct tool to help him get across the thin ice?

Hmmm 🤔, I’m old fashioned I guess, but a news station should be nothing but objective in reporting; unbiased news. A special segment for editorial opinions, commentary, or opinion journalism used to be clearly separate; such as Commentary by Andy Rooney, sometimes dubbed the Grouch-in-Chief for his many editorial commentaries of life and politics. For example is railing activism against the common news practice of reporting weekend traffic deaths across the US in the 70s. Did doing away with those vivid reminders to drive safe and get home safe make us safer and less stressed drivers? Or more carefree commuters, ready to live and drive like there’s no tomorrow? I can’t say that opinion journalism has given us an answer to that question as they don’t perform investigative journalism annd follow-up unless it serves their interests. Of course their interest is most likely wrapped in a presentation of being in the public interest because…without public support their activism falls flat. The so called news segments within this chapter shows the lack of investigative reporting giving way to activism thru news media by hosting guests who rally support for their cause; in this case, overturning the recently elected government by the very party that was losers in the free election. The reporter, by name only, as no real reporting of unbiased news was presented, did appear to be nervous with the guest appearance. Was this a reluctance due to being a blackmailed pawn for Father? Or just normal nerves of whether their show will catapult them into even higher paying news…ahem, activism journalists pay. I’m not sure what to think of the news anchor and their part with this guest. Meanwhile, Will is not happy but maybe for multiple reasons. I believe he knows deep down that the PM has dipped his toes into the burning pits of political power plays even against him, yet he has an uneasy feeling about this thrusting movement by others to pit him into ousting the PM…without his knowledge, his input, or knowing his desires. Hmm 🤔, much to consider in this rapidly changing world of Will Carter.

My, what juicy thighs you have. Butt to gravy that backside is mouth watering.

Yes, perhaps better to maneuver them via the link than to cut their opportunity for control. False plans and force movements would be critical though as the main move will probably be a one off, so the initial test of their false intel must be subtle but verifiable. If time critical, a Hail Mary will work…with a little faith. 🤣
-
But they must keep that internal deep dive into the mole/leaks; that person and that comm link established must be cut; right now the chessboard has had all moves orchestrated using their own intel and Father’s forces to execute, even the muscle attacking Will was a pawn sacrificed to their cause.

Clear and decisive, if I only had a heart ❤️.

Agreed, rough night of pain. Very early meal for meds requiring food, then I had a wonderful sleep not witnessed by me for a good while; I slept until around 1110 this morning.

Stepford Hubbies? 🤣 I’m not a sports enthusiast, and have no understanding of the NFL or drafts, of multi-million dollar babies. Whether real world drafts or people building their own team picks. Too many people are radicalized these days, so I’m not sure I want to step out into the wilderness, where bodies are hidden, with a bunch of guys toting various weapons they’re wanting to test fire whether seeing game or not. Nope, I’m not the keeping up with the Jones type.

His fate…sealed with a kiss. 😚 Such a simple thing, one little…emotionally wrecking, ever so doubtful…that it’s accepted, even more so that…it should be a thing returned with that same feeling, …pulling at your heart and twisting your gut to the point of choking nausea. Yeah, it’s just one simple little kiss.
