  1. Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash! Glad you're feeling better.
  2. Hey, Marty. And a hairstylist. Seriously, why do grown men think it's cool to look like they just crawled out of bed?
  3. I love these videos.
  4. We're having bacon, broccoli, and cheese frittata for dinner. The crust is made from shredded hashbrown potatoes and pre-baked until it gets crispy.
  5. The "Listopia" tab on Goodreads' search engine lets people look for books that aren't published yet, sometimes even several years into the future.
  6. All of Me, by Chris Baron. Scheduled for publication on June 11th, 2019. Ari has body-image issues. After a move across the country, his parents work selling and promoting his mother's paintings and sculptures. Ari's bohemian mother needs space to create, and his father is gone for long stretches of time on "sales" trips. Meanwhile, Ari makes new friends: Pick, the gamer; the artsy Jorge, and the troubled Lisa. He is also relentlessly bullied because he's overweight, but he can't tell his parents—they're simply not around enough to listen. After an upsetting incident, Ari's mom suggests he go on a diet, and she gives him a book to help. But the book—and the diet—can’t fix everything. As Ari faces the demise of his parents' marriage, he also feels himself changing, both emotionally and physically. Here is a much-needed story about accepting the imperfect in oneself and in life.

    Chapter 48

    I know how Billy feels. I'm such a tramp for a cheeseburger. I'm interested to see what happens when Billy sees Greg at work. If Ollie finds out that Billy knew, though, and didn't say anything...well. Guess we just have to wait till the next chapter.
  8. It's possible. It was almost 13 years ago, so who knows why it happened?
  9. Huh. I didn't know that about horses. Maybe he didn't like the smell of my deodorant, or something.
  10. One of my best friends was this kid named Jesse, who lived maybe a mile down the road. His adoptive parents owned horses, and he was really sweet and gentle with them. I only ever saw him get angry once, when a boarder used a whip inappropriately. That person never returned, but my neighbors ended up keeping the horse because the owner said "they're too much work, anyways." Once, I was trying to climb onto a horse. Guess I accidentally pulled his mane (sorry, horsie!), because he shook me off. Jesse caught me when I fell, and he had some pretty strong arms for a twelve-year-old.
  11. Physically, she was fine. Not sure about the clothes. After the mayhem was settled, the EM caused the first horse to bolt again, on purpose, because the OP was doing a better job of riding than the ED. She fell off too, but then her arm collided with a fence. The radius and ulna had hairline fractures, but the humerus basically got split down the middle. Sadly, the instructor was distracted and didn't see the Entitled Mother's actions. The EM then proceeded to taunt the OP about her apparent lack of skill, and how ED is such a better rider than her. When the OP eventually returned to riding, the entitled duo was still there. Disgusting.
  12. Thinking about that story makes me angry. I grew up in a rural area, so a few of my neighbors had horses. They're not toys to be played around with. They're wonderful, beautiful animals with thoughts and feelings like any other creature.
  13. I was reading some Reddit stories on YouTube. An Entitled Daughter refused to care for her own horse, so another student (the original poster) had to put the saddle and bridle on it. ED also showed up for lessons wearing the white pants reserved for "formal" events, and then used a whip inappropriately (at her mother's instructions), causing the horse to bolt, and ED fell off. There's more to the story, but I don't care to repeat it here.
  14. Hey, Thorn. Hey, Val. *siiiiigh* Smh.... Hey, Tim. Hope you feel better. Hey, Marty. Glad you made it home safely. Afternoon, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches Thistle behind the ears* Hey, Gary.
  15. Hey, Randy, you sexy chef.
  16. Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash! Sorry to hear that, Hon. I hope you feel better, and that nobody else got sick.
  17. Yeah...my mind went there, too.
  18. I'm not making any kind of retort to this. I wouldn't want to accidentally provoke you into firing a glitter nuke.
  19. By mid-April, at the latest. You said I get a month free of nuking.
  20. Hey, Drewdrop! I'm sure you did great.
