I'm sure you'll make a great dad. Hey, Froggy. I've had some personal practice for fatherhood with Mickey. He feels like a brother to me, but I have to play the bad cop side on occasion. Someone has to be legally responsible for him when he's visiting, and Morgan, unfortunately, is too much of a pushover for his baby bro. With that said, I love spending time with him. Fishing, swimming, kicking a soccer ball...it's hard to keep up with an athletic kid like him when I'm so out-of-shape, but I manage. Sometimes he helps me in the kitchen. When it's snowing or raining, we'll snuggle on the sofa and watch Stranger Things on Netflix.

@Comicality Whoa! Merrick Hanna turns 14 today!

My God. I'm sending all of my prayers for Bob and his family. I hope that Bob will recover.

Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash.

Hey, Albert.

Hey, Nick. Not recently, I'm afraid. Hey, Clo. I hope so, too.

Last trip?

We're doing well. I have a plot sketched out for my garden this year. I got the laundry done, made broccoli cheddar soup for dinner, and now I'm looking at shiplap styles for the powder room.

Evening, Kitt. Evening, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches for Thistle* Hey, Drewberry Pi! Hey, Albert. Hey, Tea Bat.

We're doing well.

Hey, Albert. How are you and Steve?

Actually, it started as a discussion forum for CoTT before, but then we started talking about everything and anything. Within the guidelines, anyway.

Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash! And hello, the rest! Glad you're doing well. Morgan and I got back from grocery shopping about an hour ago.

Hey, Gary. Hello there! Welcome.

Hey, Parker. Morning, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches for the wee pup* Hey, Nickypoo. Sorry you're not feeling well. Hope you get better soon.

Evening, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches Thistle behind the ears*

Hey, sexy chef. I'm so sorry, Gary. Not only did you lose a good little friend, but now there's no chance for a proper burial. Is it possible you simply forgot where you packed her in the snow?

Funny fairy. Hey, Gary.

"Kidnap Bucket and use their probes on him"? Hey, Froggy. Okay, I guess I can take the little fellow in. But he'll either need to be trained not to spray, or have his musk gland removed. Sneakers will enjoy having a friend. Yes! He has. Brat.

Hey, Albert.

Leftover scalloped potatoes. For @clochette. They want Looping to be Daddy! Hey, Drewpop!

Hey, Albert. *returns the package to Clochette*

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.

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.
