    Chapter 7 S1

    I hope our fingernails hold out until next week. What keeps going through my mind is skinwalkers live a long time, unless something happens.
  2. Lad is from the Middle English ladde. It's easy to see where the Scot's laddie originated.

    Chapter 7 S1

    The two families had a good time over the July Fourth holiday with a lot of activities packed into a short time. I hope Devin knows what he's doing by interfering in this fracus at the diner. You can never tell for certain how those disputes will go.
  4. I just had a vision of Patrick Bateman and his clear plastic raincoat wielding a chainsaw. A very different kind of splotches there.

    Chapter 1

    The author is usually his own harshest critic. They've all been wonderful.
  6. And keeping them on the left breast makes them medals for eating.
  7. I find odd splotches of unknown origin on my clothes with greater frequency these days.
  8. Lust can make you crazy.
  9. I can think of at least one exception. The thought of Superman having sex has always been a little scary.
  10. Calvados is another name for apple brandy. At one time apple brandy was looked down on as a drink for peasants.
  11. It's also in TCM's library of films. They show it now and then.
  12. Applejack... Applejack... Applejack was the trigger word for Kurt Russell's character in The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes to begin reciting the bad guy's illegal gambling receipts.
  13. It was fun for me too. I'd see him crouched behind a bush lying in wait and I'd pretend not to see him.
  14. Statistcally, only 53% of lost cats make it back home, so it's a coin toss.
  15. He wouldn't use his claws. He only clawed me once. We had taken him to the vet for shots. I had him in my arms and he stuck his claws into my chest and naturally I let go of him. He ran into the brush behind the building and wouldn't come back. I was devastated. He was gone for four weeks and one day he came walking around the corner of the house like he had never been gone. No idea how he found his way home.
  16. My first cat would hide and wait until I walked by to leap out and wrap himself around my lower leg.
  17. No, you let them catch you. It's what they do.
  18. I think it has more to do with having the most fun in my life while doing surreptious things.
  19. Why do I equate surreptitious with fun?

    Yes, I liked those as well. I just finished rereading Beyond the Crags.

    Chapter 6 S1

    If he was a skin walker, he could be hard to find or easy. I'm sure he'd still recognize Issac even after all these years. If he wasn't a skinwalker or died in some mishap, did he teach Isaac some secret recognition sign so another shaman or tribal skinwalker would trust him? This chapter was a lot of fun.

    Chapter 5 S1

    Mac had trouble getting to sleep. Who wouldn't? Many things he thought were hard truths were fiction. The modern world has made concealing their secret harder. The last thing they need is some government discovering the secret.
  23. Someone once accused me of trying to make them look stupid. My reply was, "You're doing perfectly fine on your own."
  24. This is thought to be another version of lumphead. Ever notice how many terms there are for stupid people?

    Chapter 7

    I don't handle rude well. If the semi-friendly creatures here are camouflaged and hard to see, what does it say about the safety of the environment?
