Fixing Hugo is beyond a simple time reset.

Yes, it was more often done to females. Japan did it more frequently to children. It was used two and a half times more often in Scandanavian countries. France probably bears the most shame by still allowing it into the 1980's.

Thank you! I'm still laughing.

Alluring qualities can be in the eye of the beholder. -
The Soviet Union (of all places) banned lobotomies in 1950 on moral grounds.
-
You might wonder why they did it. He wouldn't go to bed and turned lights on in the daytime. Can you say cruel stepmother?

As an aside. Howard Duffy, who was subjected to a transorbital lobotomy at age 12 in 1960, was one person who survived and eventually thrived. He ended up as a well known memoirist and as an NPR contributor. He wrote a harrowing memoir of the procedure in 2007, My Lobotomy.

Oh Billy, remember your lessons on listening to your heart. Your Huggie needs you to do the right thing and now. I believe only Thomas can weave the threads of this paradox back together in Hugo's tortured mind.

It is what next week in its stead means. Same GA time, same GA channel.

I do love a HEA. I'll miss Danny and Ryder. Will Jack be toting the Veil splitter?

Tawni has been ingenious making her home comfortable. -

I like TCM. He died way before I was born. -

I can hear W. C. Fields intoning his need for his favorite liquid sustenance. -
Tanks for the Memories?

Dottie, Dottie, Dottie. Maybe you shoulda brought more guys.

The last few paragraphs tell it all. His relationship with Alexander is special.

Chapter 15 - Understanding
drpaladin commented on Adam Andrews Johnson's story chapter in Chapter 15 - Understanding
They'll know what happened. They knew Bix was there, so they have a source on the island. The sloop would make a dandy pirate ship. -

Bix is having a problem understanding how Tawni thinks, but not enough to write her off. -
chivalrous - Word of the Day - Sat Sep 13, 2025
drpaladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
Being chivalrous has become a quaint and nearly alien concept today. -
If I had been Hugo, I would have welded the metal door to the frame using a thermite pack. I used to have loads of fun playing with the stuff as a kid. We would have missed half the exciting firefight though.
-
Back in the early 1970's, a guy named Richard Davis traveled the country demonstrating his new lifesaving Kevlar body armor by dramatically shooting himself. It's not painless.
-
Of course it is. Hugo is preempting Dottie's plan at the point he and Stoker were separated. Hugo id denying them access so Old Henry can give Alec his watch to escape.
-
I believe Hugo's plans for Dottie are nastier.

Chapter 14 - Confusion
drpaladin commented on Adam Andrews Johnson's story chapter in Chapter 14 - Confusion
Bix is still not being smart. She has no way of knowing if all the nobles are dead. -
disingenuous - Word of the Day - Fri Sep 9/12
drpaladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
Disingenuous is a fancy way to call someone a liar.
