Oh, yeah, there was the kissing session at the Smithsonian Institution....and then there was that one summer with the twins. #10 out of 26. That still rates you pretty high. Nope, it's all good. See my earlier response.

Ugh! I wish I could say that I can't believe anyone would be that selfish....But, I can. So sorry you have to deal with this, Comsie. Thank you for all of your hard work!

In other words, there's nothing to report.

@Drew Espinosa That reminds me: any updates or anecdotes about Yayo?

Good morning, Spunky Drewster!

Well, I guess it could be considered a "cultivation" story---but the only individuals capable of using it are foxes/gumiho. They were more prominent in the past, but have mostly hidden themselves away as technology and industrial-scale magic became commonplace. Also, as far as this story is concerned, there's only "one world". No reincarnation, no alternate dimensions, etc, so it isn't an "isekai" story.

Yes, it was.

Glad to hear it; I thought you might.

@Drew Espinosa I have a story pitch I think you might like. It's loosely inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender, but with more of a Thai/Vietnamese influence. 23-year-old Lamon is fresh from the police academy in the Floating City of the Dragon. His first assigned post: to return to the neighborhood he knew as a child. Seeking out familiar faces, Lamon goes to a well-loved noodle shop in the old neighborhood. Inside, he finds his childhood friend, Boon-Nam, who has assumed ownership of the restaurant following his grandmother's passing. Some thugs are causing problems, and so, as an officer of the law, Lamon is forced to act. Lamon's timely appearance rekindles old feelings Boon-Nam thought he had buried since he was a teen; feelings that Lamon might actually reciprocate. But Lamon's intervention sends ripples through the city's criminal underworld, ripples big enough to swell into a typhoon that could plunge the city into anarchy.

Hahaha, Aaaww! This kid is a real connoisseur of tomato sauce!

You can find merch for just about any fandom you'd care to name.

I was at work. But yes, all is well here, thanks.

Salisbury steak! Yum! Wait, that's the wrong Salisbury. Have you seen these shirts? And there are so many other designs towards the bottom of the page. https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Breakfast-by-aliceoseman/97563587.WFLAH

Sounds tasty. I might make that next week.

There's only one place I know that sells taffy year-round in Traverse City, and that's a chain store which also sells soda in glass bottles, and funny vintage signs. They have so many different flavors of soda, 120+ if I remember correctly. Apart from that, there's a seasonal farmer's market store, and The Taffy Barrel in Charlevoix.

@raven1 Hey, Terry! How are you and Aod?

Spikey said "punished", not "locked up".

Still you.

It should really be "lemon", anyway.

The yellow one is supposed to be banana-flavored.

There's only one flavor of Laffy Taffy that counts, and that's the purple one. (Something I saw on Instagram: you can always spot a cop because they call Gatorade by the stupid flavor names, when everyone else calls Gatorade by its colors.)

No, it was on an advertisement for Amazon's Alexa.

Question: Why did the toothbrush cross the road? Answer: For a change of paste.

That's a nice idea, but Max wants to go to an Arts college with a ballet program. Could be good for a "Plan B", though.
