  1. Hoping for good results for both your bro and mom.
  2. ... and when you got home he hopped out and headed to Val's.
  3. Howdy cowboy ... er, I mean bro. Sorry I got distracted by somethin'
  4. It has been. I don't like thinking of life without her.
  5. Thanks. Mostly she just tires more easily than before.
  6. So it seems mum had a heart attack at some point this summer but was unaware of it. She learned of if on Thursday afternoon when she went for a routine checkup with her family doctor and he reviewed her ekg. I don't know how I feel. Obviously relieved but mum will be 84 next Monday. She's closing in on the ages her parents were when they died. My grandfather died because of a heart attack at age 85 and my grandmother had some heart issues when she died of other causes a month later at age 86.

    Battle Round

    What a bait and switch ... to suggest one sort of performance and then give us another. Lucky for you Chipper has the talent to carry either. So is anyone gonna "steal" Bliss?

    Battle Round

    The possibilty crossed my mind. Afterall, these are damn short chapters, at our age even you've got the stamina to last through two of 'em.
  9. Wow. I just finished dumping one load of laundry into the washer after hanging the previous load in the sun to dry. Never occurred to me how much of my life might be drowning in that agitated water ... I still believe in the powers of a cup of strong coffee ... you just need to add a lot of cream and sugar. Sometimes the sun shining on flower petals is enough.
  10. Nuthin' pitiful 'bout that cowboy. Feel better.
  11. Well, we're a rather unfortunate bunch, what with colds and such. I just took the pain meds and sedative that put me to sleep to cope with this migraine. Mum and Thistle are sitting outside under the tree reading and relaxing. Blessed be y'all.
  12. G'day y'all. I'm tired but it's time to walk the pup.

    Memento Mori

    Hmmm, interesting. Why Cranmer?
  14. Looks interesting but I'm a cheesecake purist, my favorite ice cream is vanilla and I'm not really into kinky sex ... sex was so long ago the instructions on the condom package were written in hieroglyphics.
  15. It was a faire day so we spent the day people watching. This weekends theme was Time Travellers so we had Steampunk, Dr Who, Star Wars stormtroopers and various characters from Legends of Zelda wandering about.
  16. Greetings Albert. I'm beat and my brain aches. It was a not humid day.
  17. I think he's depending on the chaos theory ... crazy stuff is gonna happen so might as well accept it. Meanwhile, he's ducked his head under the blankies and gone to the Land of Nod.
  18. Taiwanese pork buns? Is that a euphimisim for Chinese pig butts? I jest. Your buns look delicious Page.

    Chapter 10

    They say that diamonds are created from a common substance, carbon, placed under great heat and pressure. I'd say the lads had their own substance tested under heat and pressure and a few diamonds sparked as a result. It was a very human moment when Mr Bennet acknowledged the growth and maturity in the lads despite the sometimes dehumanizing effects of public education. Excellent chapter.
  20. Gee, my other Gary. The Master of the shop is also dealing with a bronchial "thing". He thinks his is allergy related as he went through the same thing about this time last year. He took today off and went home to rest.
  21. G'day y'all. Mum arrived safely late yesterday and all is well.

    Invisible or invincible?

    Camper Van

    Actually this is the same level of naivete that almost got CJ raped by a friend and his cousin. Perhaps his trust is justified. I'm hoping so and if not it will be a lesson learned.

    Oh shyte, that was a less than stellar move ...
  25. I like them. Even the one about aging despite it speaks of me ...
