Hey, Cassie. Feeling naughty today? You noticed the hard nips, too? I almost lost an eye!

Afternoon, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches Thistle on his belly* Glad you're feeling better, Dugh. Hey, Bumble B. Hey, Albert. How are you and Steve? Hey, Clo. Hope things are looking up for you. I use garlic very sparingly, just enough to give some flavor, but I've never had any problems like that. It sounds like your mom probably shouldn't eat garlic. Is there such a thing as garlic intolerance? If your body is actually sweating garlic, then it's probably not meant to be in your system. I found a recipe for a white pizza, based off of Cacio e Pepe (Cheese and Pepper). You slice some garlic cloves very thinly, then cook them in olive oil until they turn crispy. https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a25964484/white-pizza-recipe/ Hey, Gary.

OMG, I love Billy Elliot!

Afternoon, Caz. Good luck on your writing! You understand, don't you? Afternoon, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. Hope your head feels better. *scratches for Thistle* Hey, Albert. I saw a very cute young man at the library today. He wore black suede moccasins, black bib overalls, and a pinstriped hoodie. The straps of the overalls went down to his waistline, and he had the hoodie tied into a knot at the back, showing off his lower back. No "stamp", fortunately, but there was a tattoo on his right arm. I didn't get a sufficient glimpse to see the subject of the ink. Black nail polish on his fingers, Swarovski crystal studs in his ears, and his hair was done in an undercut with bangs swept to the right side of his face. Blonde, probably a bleach-job, with a clean-shaven face. Sadly, his eyes were covered by dark sunglasses with square lenses. I'm hoping they were green, though. He was very tall with a lean frame, but his hips were pleasantly round. I thought the exposed midriff was bold, even for a town as laid-back as Traverse City. Which is what drew my eyes to the rest of him. He was probably around my age. I wanted to get his phone number, just to add him to my circle of friends, but lost track of him on the second floor. I'm sure a few of you can appreciate this story.

Often the people who are most vocal against homosexuality, are the ones who have the most to hide. I hope that Tyler and Brian will shape up and realize that the way they're acting just isn't acceptable behavior in this day and age. As for Jimmy, it's probably already too late.

We're doing well, thanks. Mickey is having his 16th birthday party tomorrow. Glad to hear that the kids are having a great time with their new family.

No idea. They're sliced pickles, coated in panko breadcrumbs and fried. They're delicious.

Hey, Albert. We're having Mickey's favorite tonight: grilled cheese sandwiches and fried pickle chips.

Afternoon, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches Thistle on his belly* Hey, Gary. Gotta do some laundry here, too. I kept meaning to do it earlier in the week, but I kept getting distracted. Mickey and Remy will be spending the weekend, so I'm looking forward to having someone help me fold shirts and pants.

Congrats, Gary. And good night.

*pours Buckie a glass of tea*

This was a better chapter. I hope Richie and Freddie can return to the amusement park later, without any annoying Gabe. This time, Richie's action's towards Gabe were warranted for once. Inviting your apparent best friend and then dumping him with two little kids, while poaching his other friend away from him? Not cool, Gabe. Also, I really liked Freddy in this chapter. He seems to be more friendly than aloof towards Richie.

Hey, Gary.

Hey, Bertie. We had Pasta al Cacio e Pepe with roasted Brussels sprouts and warm bakery bread.

I try to avoid stereotypes, but I can't help "talking with my hands" when I'm conversing with someone. Also, I love cooking, designing things, decorating, gardening, and shopping for clothes. With that said, I don't wear odd colors in my hair or have 100 piercings hanging off my face. I don't "walk swishy", or talk with a lisp, or do anything else that some people would consider "girly". I don't worry about being "manly" or "effeminate", because the truth is, everyone has a bit of both inside them, and I only care about being ME. Some people, like a certain boy who lives in NYC, embrace the stereotype. He loves makeup and wigs, high-heeled shoes and sparkly outfits, and he's a pretty good dancer! He's an "Amazing" young man who is very outspoken and not afraid to confront his opponents head-on. My point is, not everyone is the same. Some people have a love of things that just happen to fit the stereotype, and others try to break the mold. Don't worry about things beyond your control; just be yourself.

@Comicality Aren't you forgetting Ronan Parke?

Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash! And hello to the other kids!

99 seconds too short! It needs more, dammit! Also, that hair is getting CRAZY!

Is there a lake nearby?

Evening, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle! Happy birthday to the wee lad! *gives Thistle scratches behind the ears* Hey, Caz. How are Mark and Ali? Hey, Tea Bat. Today I have some blackberry hibiscus tea. It's chilled, but I could put some on the stove for you. Hey, Gary. How are Cookie and Falkor? Hey, Clo. Hey, Drewbear! How fares the adorkable Pi Boy?

@Comicality Cookies, donuts, what's next? A Big Mac? He'd love that for sure!

Hey, Texas Cutie!

Good night, Caz. @Headstall Gary, I hope your surgery goes well. I'll keep you in my thoughts. I got some good stuff at the grocery store. Tried the new Coke Orange-Vanilla, and it was delicious.

We're doing well. Grocery store tonight. Glad your kids are happy. Hello, Albert. How are you and Steve? Hey, Clo.

Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash! How is everyone?
