  1. “brolaw” I like it! Bet he doesn’t “correct” Michelle Obama. Just saying... Melissa Griffon. Just read her name and her reaction to Ritch. I know who she is... Another chapter where I learned something and a whole lot more good stuff to boot. Doing good, you are Mr. Hazday.
  2. Finished sweeping the patio, so I needed a cool drink. First iced coffee of the year. Yum...
  3. “RITCHIE!” Is it appropriate that this made me giggle? It is just so Brett, I couldn’t help myself. Knowing your dedication to high quality research, I have to say I really enjoyed this chapter learning about the life of an air force cadet. It was all very interesting. Oh, and the familial interactions were spot on, imo. Nicely done, Mr. Hazday.
  4. Sometimes, lessons need to be learned the hard way, because no matter how much we might want to be, we are not automatically wise about everything. And yes, I agree, you are lucky to have a wonderful soul named tim in your life. Of course, reading about someone else’s hard earned life lesson is a lesson learned for the rest of us as well. I appreciate you sharing this with the rest of us, Mike. Thank you

    Going back to their interactions with Ritch when he visited D.C. the winter before his parents’ death, I think Brett was more of an influence on than Cesar - remember the coat buying episode? I think the link to Brett was forged early on. with experiences enabling that link to grow stronger, imo.

    The interaction with the trooper was well done. Papa, Dad. You know I’m loving this development. A piece of paper sure wasn’t necessary to make it “real”. Oops, forgot the Cap reference early on. Nice inverted Easter egg, Mr. Hazday. Brett passing on to Ritch - oops, just about typed “Ritchie” - what he should expect being a cadet is priceless. I’m betting Brett loves being able to support Ritch this way.
  7. The things that can be found on the internet... 🙂
  8. Good for you, that’s an awesome achievement! As for this, file it under “crap happens” and realize it will be behind you soon enough. Take care, Solus.

    Melvyn Ford

    @Pup Cameron I love your comment because Melvyn Ford when it was part of Carlos’ prompt collection was why I registered. I needed to comment on this story. Be sure to check out the rest of Carlos’ stories, because they’re all really good , and I’m not just saying that because I’ve been his beta reader for almost five years. Reader
  10. Beats me, but they sure are cheerful.
  11. Morning all. I’ve been awake since at least 3 a.m. with the season’s first case of insomnia - oh joy. I finally gave up and got up at 4 after the birds’ choir practice began. *sigh* See you all laterz... Hope it’s a good one for you all.
  12. Good morning, Chris, it’s good to see you. As for the 4141 notifications? Yikes, that’s a lot of notifications.
  13. True, but the weather is fickle. Yesterday it was cold and windy. Today it was still windy, but it was also hot and humid with a high temp of 31C/87F. Luckily, it was mostly cloudy, because the sun would have had it feeling like it was much hotter.
  14. sweatshirts when it’s in the sixties? I’d be in -shirt. Just shows how differently we relate to the wether, eh? Heck, I’d be wearing a light jacket if I was going for a walk in the forties. PS: Have a great vacation!
  15. That’s what I call a happy accident.
  16. This guy is a new favourite of mine. He’s making ratatouille which I love, though though his roasted red pepper sauce w pasta is a close second.
  17. Forewarned is forearmed as the saying goes. Or did coconut not get that memo? 🤔
  18. Yes, I do like coconut. My To try list is growing...
  19. Good to know about the sweetness factor as it’s not something I’ve considered. I can find these at the grocer’s, but so far haven’t seen where the coconut oil is, and it doesn’t help when they decide it’s a good time to rearrange their shelves.
  20. I just watched the video. Do you need to use coconut oil or can you substitute maple syrup? I’ve read a number of recipes that allow for this type of substitution, but the coconut oil has always been completely melted whereas, it still looks quite solid - though soft - in this video.
  21. Well then, you just know it’s on my “I have to try this” list.
  22. Sounds right up my alley. Decadent, but with Mike in mind I’m sure it’s a healthier version then I am imaging it could be.
