    Chapter 2

    Apparently, Dick thinks of his family as possessions to be used, with no consideration for their feelings. If Richie's mom had a written will, then Uncle Raymond can hopefully challenge Dick's attorney, and argue that Dick is violating its execution....or something. Freddy seems nice, and Gabe is a very good friend to have.
  2. Well, I've talked about my first kiss a few times before. The boy whom I shared it with was a classmate of mine in the 7th Grade. We kissed and held hands a few times during school (in private corners of the building), but he never offered to invite me to his house, and if I asked him over to mine, he'd give some pathetic excuse about why he couldn't. I realized, after a few weeks of running around in circles, that he wasn't willing to publicly come out to his family or friends, hence the need to insulate his time with me from the rest of his life. We drifted apart and stopped speaking outside of Science class, and I never had any more classes with him after that. Bottom line is: If you love someone, or you think you love someone, but they're reluctant to let you be a part of their life, they might not want the same things that you do. You might as well whack your head on a rock. If I could go back, I'd ask him about how "serious" we were, or what he wanted to get out of our relationship. That's why I believe it's important to communicate your intentions clearly.
  3. https://www.attitude.co.uk/article/exclusive-ronan-parke-ive-always-identified-as-gay-and-ive-always-been-proud-to-say-it/20491/ Here's the interview, if anyone cares to read it. And his album Found My Way uses no gendered pronouns, ON PURPOSE! Guess I'm going to FYE tomorrow.
  4. Hey, Marty. No worries. Family comes first. With friends, comes understanding.
  5. Oh, nothing much. Right now, I'm planning my garden for when the snow melts.
  6. Hey, sexy chef.
  7. That's actually a good thing. Like most veg, zucchini can get tough, wooden, and bland-tasting if left too long before harvesting. They grow quite fast (about 3 inches a day), so harvest early and often. They should be dark green and firm. If you have more than you can use or give away, you can slow the plants' production by trimming off the flowers. The flowers are also edible in salads and stir-fries. Or, you can fill them with cream cheese, coat them in batter, and deep-fry them. Just make sure to pluck out the reproductive bits before you use the flowers.
  8. Congrats, Clo! Glad to hear that the lemon seeds survived! Zucchini and tomatoes are annuals, not perennials, so they need to be replaced every year. I was thinking of planting those two this year, along with basil, oregano, eggplant, and strawberries. Maybe even some corn, if I can find planters big enough.
  9. I assume that green food dye was added to the yolks before the whites were filled.
  10. Afternoon, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches Thistle on his belly*
  11. An obituary in the paper today: "Well-known and beloved prankster John Smith passed away quietly yesterday....the casket at his wake was closed, with 'Pop Goes the Weasel' playing every ten minutes."
  12. Looks delicious. Makes me want pancakes.
  13. I haven't seen the movie, but I'll put it on my list.
  14. Glad to hear it. Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash! Hey, Parker. Hey, Albert. Morning, Froggy. Hey, Gary.
  15. That sounds delicious.... 🤤
  16. We're doing well. Gonna repaint the powder room tomorrow, then next week, we're having shiplap installed. Scalloped potatoes and ham, for us.
  17. Hey, Albert. How are you and Steve?
  18. Sneakers was still a pup when we found him. Also, he can't spray.
  19. Once you do manage to get it out, you should check your barn for any holes or gaps where he might get in. Maybe create a border of rocks around the outer edges where the walls meet the ground. That will prevent any digging or burrowing.
  20. Hey, sexy chef.
  21. Afternoon, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches for Thistle* Hey, Froggy. You look especially green today. Hey, Clo. Hey, Val. For us, it's going to be a day of repainting the half-bath on the main floor. We're covering the blue paint with a coat of white. The blue will still be visible, but it will show up as more of a pastel shade. Then, next weekend, we're going to have 4'0" of shiplap installed.

    Chapter 19

    An editorial mistake, I think. Seems to me, that the name was changed before posting, and a few places were missed.
  23. We're doing well, thanks. Sure, whatever you say.
