  1. Good luck with your class, A! Morning, DiC. Hope you're all well.
  2. Sorry you're having a rough week. Rest when you can. I'm heading to bed. Night, DiC!

    Thank you for reading it! And for leaving me so many wonderful comments.

    Glad to hear it. I'm not sure I trust myself, lol! I do have a plan, though. I know how it ends.

    It's awesome. You should watch it. Got it for Christmas from my stepbrother last year... That and a bunch of chocolate, and a card that said something along the lines of, 'I heard you hadn't been doing so well. Hope this helps.' I'd had to take a year off from school cause of my depression. Thinking of one's emotions like those little characters in the movie is actually kind of helpful.

    He's making some progress, yeah, but he still has a way to go. And yeah, gonna be some angst for a little while...

    Yeah, the happy can't go on forever. And look, you're nearly caught up!

    You mean Inside Out? That animated one? I love that film, it's so sweet!

    Hehe, you're the only one I know of who wasn't surprised.

    Stephen and Lewis are all round wonderful people, yeah.
  11. He definitely did. Korey said exactly the right thing at exactly the right time. And now the parents at school will have the entire summer holiday to get used to the idea and realise that Stephen is exactly the same person and the same teacher as he was for the past four years of teaching their kids. I'm glad you enjoyed the story! Thanks for commenting.
  12. True. But it's also moving forward, step by step. Integration can be a slow process, but I think we become a better a stronger society for it, in the end. Thanks for commenting!
  13. Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
  14. Exactly what I was getting at, yeah. Thank you!
  15. Sad but true. And Dominic was definitely suspended and his father given a talking to. As for the mother who called him a child molester, I think Stephen was a bit too shaken at the time, but he told Rebecca about it once he decided not to quit, so the school could deal with it. Thanks as ever for commenting!
  16. Thank you so much! I think most of us here have some experience dealing with bigots... It's never fun.
  17. Stephen locked the door to his office and checked his phone. There was a text there, from Lewis. I’m outside. He stared at the text, slightly puzzled. Did they have plans today? He couldn’t recall anything in particular. Putting his phone in his pocket, he left the school. He was met with bright July sunshine when he stepped outside, heading for the front gate. ‘Bye, Mr. Godwin!’ said a year eight girl just running by. ‘Goodbye, Alice! See you in PE tomorrow.’ ‘Yes, sir!’ The gir
  18. ‘Four years I’ve been here,’ said Stephen softly. ‘I know.’ ‘I’m not quitting.’ The same-sex marriage bill passes in the House of Lords and Stephen and Lewis decide to get married. But when Stephen is outed at work, everything goes to hell and he has a choice to make. Another side piece to Storms.
  19. I’m becoming that person who rearranges the dishwasher after other people have put dishes in it.
  20. The A solution to every ailment.
  21. I take ibuprofen for my headaches, sometimes combined with paracetamol with caffein if it's really bad. They still work fine on me, especially that combo. Don't take them very often. Only time I've ever used anything with opioids is when I've had a really bad cough, cause I break out in hives from the kind you get here that doesn't contain codeine.
  22. A painful but thought provoking read. Eric's life breaks my heart, but there is hope here as well. A well crafted story and highly recommended. One I am more than likely to read again once it's had time to digest a bit more.

  23. Take some if it gets really bad. You're highly unlikely to get addicted from occasional use. Do they contain opioids?
  24. I got a really nice and thick Fjällräven winter jacket for Christmas from my mum. So grateful for that now. Hope you find a good distraction for yourself. Always helps for me.
  25. Morning, Reader! Sounds like a good idea. Stay warm! As for complaining, it's not like you can't do that just cause some have it comparatively worse. It sucks either way.
