  1. Morning, Gary! Yeah, it was fairly good. Until the cat woke us up and demanded tribute, lol!
  2. Such a lovely ending! Heh, there's a dog in Storms named Pepper. She's an Australian Shepherd, though. Thank you for writing this story. It's been a pleasure to read!
  3. That's pretty funny, what your grandmother said. I don't think that not coming out to her has anything to do with strength, though. That stuff is hard, and sometimes we worry about the feelings of others as well. Not just about whether they'll accept us, but also how it'll make them feel. I don't think I'll ever come out to my grandmother, not out of worry about her accepting me, but because she wouldn't understand and it would be distressing to her.
  4. Lurker Mode is okay. I activate Lurker Mode sometimes too. Hope you have a good day!
  5. Different strokes for different folks, one might say. That said, despite only ever having been with each other, these two boys use condoms.
  6. Morning, everyone! Hope you're all well.
  7. Christians used to be essentially vegan during lent. Except occasional seafood.
  8. Morning, everyone! Good word, tim. Always wondered what it meant, actually... Now I know

    I'm actually part Norwegian, part Finnish, but I've lived in the UK and spoken English fluently since early childhood. When I write in English, setting my stories in the UK makes the most sense to me. Thanks for reading, and I'm glad you're enjoying my story!

    Indeed. The strangest thing to me is how people keep defending a system that demonstrably does not work. It's just so odd to me.

    Loz

    Thank you, and thanks for all your comments. I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say that Loz is just as much a victim as Daniel, but they've certainly both been through hell.
  12. Your first definition is incorrect and based on myth.
  13. I'm off to bed. My body appears to be waging war against me, lol! Goodnight, DiC!
  14. Hi, Val! Goodnight, everyone! I've crawled into bed. My body is acting funny and I'm tired.
  15. I saw a TV programme about it years ago. Always found it very fascinating. The domestication syndrome that he mentions at the end there is really interesting. In the north of Norway you'll see it in domesticated reindeer, herded by the indigenous population, the Sámi. Wild reindeer are uniformly brown and grey. The domesticated ones range from completely white to nearly black. It's all very cool.
  16. The Lord's Prayer in Gaelic: In Old Norse: And in Norn, which was spoken in Shetland: I love linguistics!
  17. It uses the Norse symbols for the th sound. ð is th as in 'this'. þ is th as in 'forth'. I could also read it quite easily based on my knowledge of Norwegian, Swedish and (a little bit of) Icelandic. I think Gaelic is actually further removed from old English than Norse is.
  18. Guessing it's the beginning of The Lord's Prayer? It's actually really similar to Norse...
  19. Not too bad today, thanks. Yourself?
  20. Know that feeling... That list is never ending.
  21. Hi, Caz! Comparatively, yeah. Yourself?

    I don't think you're quite the only one. If you want to know whether there's hope for Loz, you'll just have to read on.
