soooo then ... sometimes you need to be the one to reach out... yep you'll get burned sometimes.. but sometimes not...

Okay, i had no idea this was a thing... bardolater noun | bar-DAH-luh-ter Definition : a person who idolizes Shakespeare George Bernard Shaw once described a William Shakespeare play as "stagy trash." Another time, Shaw said he'd like to dig Shakespeare from the grave and throw stones at him. Shaw could be equally scathing toward Shakespeare's adoring fans. He called them "foolish Bardolaters," wrote of "Bardolatrous" ignoramuses, and called blind Shakespeare worship "Bardolatry." Oddly enough, Shaw didn't despise Shakespeare or his work (on the contrary, he was, by his own admission, an admirer), but he disdained those who placed the man beyond reproach. The word bardolater, which Shaw coined by blending Shakespeare's epithet—"the Bard"—with an affix that calls to mind idolater, has stuck with us to this day, though it has lost some of its original critical sting.

that's good. i went weekly, wow for nearly a year i guess. after something triggered a very major depression and other not good things. it was bad. but i was lucky to have the option. but toward the end of last year, he said i'm bored with you now.. LOL so every two weeks and now we are at once a month, but with check in emails. it's good.

Yeah, i get you. And people can easily lie. i try to take them as they are, until they do something that tells me different. And there have been some really bad ones...however.. i cannot blame the new person for the sins of others, if you know what i mean.

Sounds like a full day. There was more bloody snow last night... and more tomorrow. I dont think i'm seeing my shrink this week. Not having to go weekly is rather nice. But i do need to email him, which is fine. You have a good day too.

Maybe you're not asking the person you need to ask.

Thanks AC. Yes, she is rather in the background like an annoying ghost ... but you're right, time will tell. Thanks again for all you do. xo

Thanks Nick. Yes, Max and i share death defying hospital visits, so i know what that's like. I was luckier, in that i'm not in a wheelchair. I appreciate you following this story. New chapters every Saturday morning. Thanks again!

night xo

My wonderful Husband has slaved over a hot stove, oven and Instant pot to make dinner. i will go and help Him and then later, say thank You as a boy should. back in a bit.

yes it is. so what then ... just ignore it?

have you asked? talked to whoever you're talking about?

all we can do is try, sean. some days are easier than others

finicky adjective | FIN-ih-kee Definition 1 : extremely or excessively particular, exacting, or meticulous in taste or standards 2 : requiring much care, precision, or attentive effort You may be familiar with an advertising campaign featuring Morris, the finicky housecat who would only eat a certain brand of cat food. Morris's tastes in cuisine are not only very particular, but very fine as well, and that's appropriate given the origin of finicky. The word came about as an alteration of finicking, itself an alteration of another adjective, finical. It's believed that finical derives from the adjective fine. Finicking also gives us finick, a somewhat rare verb meaning "to put on airs" or "to dawdle about."

Cuz it's not? LOL... we do have Canada Computers if the makes you feel better.

Thank you so much. I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Oh, tears mean you care. I'm humbled you say you loved it. Thanks again. tim

Thanks very much for reading. I am sorry? you have to wait. I am really. It would be cool if you could post a complete book all at once. Chapter 6 is a lengthy one over 7200 words. Just putting that out there... there is still a lot to come.

Thank you very much. I'm glad they feel real to you. That's a huge compliment and very much appreciated. I hope you enjoy the rest.

I have a place where i post vignettes, parts of things, which may or not lead somewhere. They don't have to, but i wouldn't call this piece a story, because it simply isn't. A vignette, a snap shot.. certainly and those can be entertaining and worth reading. But a story is a story... These short pieces have value but should be posted as such ... letting the reader know that there likely won't be more not matter how much they beg!! i did enjoy it, but you asked questions, which i answered. If you'd said, Do you like this little snap shot? i'd have said yes i do, very much.

Nice chapter, C.

you will need tissues ... i wrote the chapter, i have read it .. i don't know how many times and i cannot get through it still, without tears. but that could be for different reasons.. we'll see what people think. Yes, Rena hasn't met Max yet.. there is still much more to come. And new characters i hope you like.

yes, Sir, thank You. i want You to care about them and their lives; real is important to me. i hope Max feels real too, there is so much more still. Thank You for reading this story, Sir. i am grateful. I appreciate Your comments, Sir. xo

Thank You, Michael. Yes, You've brought me the box of tissues more than once. If it doesn't touch me, then it likely won't others. A few tears are worth it if the work is right. Thank You for your comments and support of my work. xooxo
