Good night... sleep well

Good morning, DICsters!! A whole conversation about wine and I wasn’t here for it!! Not gonna let that stop me, 7:00 am is a perfectly appropriate time to wine.. ☺️ @BHopper2, molly and you both have the right idea. Google wineries and breweries for craft beer in the area. Along with the regular whites and reds, (cabernet, Chardonnay) they would most likely offer brews and bottles the area is known for. As for your sweet dessert wines? Though I’m not a fan of really sweet wines, Rieslings, Moscatos, Sherry or Ports make the cut. (wise one indeed) lol 😌 Her name is Pris.. should we be surprised... We can make that happen. As long as you don’t mind pretending my house is a tent and bringing sleeping bags. 😏 Have a fantabulous day everyone!!!

Have a good night everyone.. Be well.

I’ll be here for it!!

Same... laugh out loud too...

good afternoon 😃

Albert.. No way we won’t support you through this, especially if the journaling helps.

A wonderful story of love. It’s a little sad, hopeful, a lot real, and so beautifully told.

I have to agree.. That does sound amazing.

Wow.....Fantastic, CG... The story was so well done, right up to the unexpected but wonderful end. If you decide to write more, I’d be on board with that.. totally!

Hiya, everyone!!! Yeah, no Black Friday outings here either. On the news this morning, they interviewed a couple of ladies from Spain and Africa. They come every year just for B F deals... 🧐 Ohh.. that looks good. Maybe imma try that..

Stopping in to say goodnight.. See you around tomorrow.....

Nice, feel-good chapter...happy Daniel is ok.. Yay for Michael’s coming out..

Oh yeah!! Off we go!

Great blog, molly. Thank you. Especially today, I’m thankful for my family, my son, my mom, my sister, who is the grounding force in my life. My nieces and nephews, who show me new ways to love, and make me laugh, all the time. My good friends near and far. The 21 faces in my classroom, who make it easy to wake up and keep going. My family of friends here at GA, a lifeline when I needed them and who mean more than they will know. Grateful there is a place like GA, where an odd duck like me, feels wonderfully comfortable..

Good morning, everyone.. Gobble gobble, to those celebrating... Everyday I’m grateful for you all here. All the small things and the big ways you show up. For me, for each other. I appreciate you all so very much, and today I’m extra thankful. ❤️

That, I understand completely....

Say that’s true, Loz’s convo In the car with his dad didn’t seem like dad was ok with the violence. Or would be, if he knew what Loz was capable of. He didn’t come across as the ‘take what’s yours’ dad, unless I completly missed the mark. Being dominant and in control isn’t always undesirable in a relationship, romantic or otherwise, either. So if Dad was trying to raise confident and self assured kids, I’d say they missed the lesson in respect for others and knowing their limits. No means no, whatsoever your personality type. Edit to add: so then it’s safe to say, based on your answer to my comment above, that Loz totally has his own idea of what machismo should look like. He is so troubled

First thing I thought of was Daniel gets a reprieve. Maybe give Michael a beat to figure out how to deal with it all. Second, was how sad it is that Loz is so ashamed of who he might be, that he can’t find another way but anger and violence. It would not matter if Daniel served himself up to him on a silver platter, by his own admission, Loz can’t be queer.. So what then, he’d further blame Daniel for making him so? The good thing is he’s admitted it to his brother. I find it ironic that he sees Patrick as a bully, but has yet to really say that about himself. He did seem to see how horrible his actions to Danny were, but with justification. No good. I do not want him to get a free pass. Deleting info does not delete anything else, especially not for Daniel. I hope Loz will face his demons. (Not that I want bad things for him at all) Good chapter, you can tell by the way I went on.. lol.

Wonderful poem, Parker. Your words are a treasure, and I’m thankful that you share them with us. Have a very happy Thanksgiving..

Beautiful and perfect..

Good evening, good peeps!

Sleep well, molly.. aaanndd...it’s my turn since my eyes are drooping.. Nighty night, all..

Night, tim. Sleep well.
