No, this one isn't so easily brushed off... if the first poorly executed one hits poor Joel pretty hard... this one is going to knock the boy right on his ass, I'm thinking.

I wonder if he lives by those new and profound thoughts? Or is he just annoyed with himself? Is being annoyed with himself the start of something? He's giving himself seemingly good advice for a change. Maybe it will stick? They should be pleased. I think they were both annoyed with themselves for how they reacted to the first kiss and wondered if they royally screwed themselves out of a second, third, and so on. They came back for a second... and so far the ground hasn't fallen out from under them.

Yeah. The two of them finally cleared out some of the stale air between them.

Hmm.. my female brain kicked in and was like HEY! Then, it remembered it has a sense of humor. Lol. She does do a lot of rambling about topics that the guys probably only listen to every third word or so.

Riding in the back seat of Colt’s truck, I listened to Sierra talking about a lot of people that I didn’t know. There was music playing, but she had turned it down too low for me to hear it after she got inside the truck. She was a blend of excitement and annoyance, as Colt didn’t react to what she was saying like he should have. All I heard were names, wanting to memorize a few of them, as I was about to be meeting a lot of them at this party. I expected another trip to the creek, or to th

You're welcome, I have my rare moments. back when I first posted it the reception was rather mixed. People got very angry with me and others thought it hilarious. That's why I made a point to say the poem was just a joke. lol.

Oh good gracious. And, maybe there wasn't the best "table manners?" 😮 Rude behavior, I know.

It was written a really, really, really long time ago. It was actually a response to a different poem written about penises... they were both posted in older blogs that I don't think the other member has anymore. I just happened to save my poem for later use, if necessary. 😮

This comment gave me a "headache" *whistles* lol.

I watched, "On Swift Horses," the other night. It wasn't an enjoyable watch. I do love Daisy Edgar-Jones in most of the films and mini-series that I've seen her in. Even the Twister's remake was suitably watchable as a one-off for me. But this was a disconnected mess with smoking. Sometimes I felt like I was watching an ad for cigarettes, but even at my young age of 20 *whistles* carrying a few... they weren't allowed to be advertised. It was just too much smoking and I know it was relatively common during the time period this film was based on, they were even pushing it as somewhat beneficial to the body at some point. I don't know when that medically shifted though, not the point. The point being - it became a distraction to the film if a lot of the scene has to pause, dialog has to take a backseat just so a character could light up another smoke. Jacob Eliordi mumbled his way through the entire script. He's a one-shot actor anyway, he doesn't have a ton of range or complexity. Daisy didn't carry this film either though, she felt just as boring and disconnected to the rest of the cast and writing as Jacob did. I didn't much care for the plot in general, so maybe that weighs it down with me. The film felt like two stories told separately and neither of them well.

They do bloom rather gorgeous, right? And yeah, 'that' particular flower does stink.

"This proposition is doomed to fail..." --- almost fits perfectly into the poem.

The Vagina That Heals Don’t be scared, For you will be spared. All you have to do, Is let me introduce my vagina to you. The vagina is a healing tool, Don’t be scared, they’re really cool. No teeth to bite, no need to fight, This vagina can turn you right. You’re only gay because, You were told its full of flaws. But that’s not true, A vagina can really heal you. Think of it as a blooming flower, There is no need for you to cower We will train you not t

Well yeah, that's one way to avoid tricky conversations.

Oh I already know I'm far worse than 80% of my patients about all this listening and doing business.

They'd have to talk about that mess of a kiss first though.

Damn, I meant the poll as a joke, but these answers were a little bit depressing for our guy Joel. Maybe after this chapter he can shed a lot of the weight and negativity. At least with his family and the fear of losing Celia and Cody. Those were massive weights to shed, I'm thinking. Joel also might just be the type of person that has no wish to ever cross the line into intoxication and will forever be careful about that. Although from experience it happens to the best of us. *whistles*

Ick.. the sick cycle of the iphones. Apple needs to be held responsible for any mental anguish it causes really.. lol

Yeah, he kind of had to make that mental switch, he'd remain rather stuck if he didn't at this point. His mother is not going to change... and his father is probably not going to change enough or fast enough for it to really matter to him. I do hope Joel keeps building up on his strength.

Hmm... I'll take my chances and just point and laugh at you like I always do. We had a record amount of rainfall in the Spring and Early summer. Then by the time my garden got to the flowering and fruiting stage... nothing and it stunted and ruined it. We were in drought conditions, we still marginally are. I try to stay active, light weight training, some jogging, and general exercise. My Volleyball and basketball years in my youth is starting to be felt in my knees. Especially the one I tore my ACL in. So I know if I don't keep up with the exercises, stretching, and such that it will get worse.

Oh... Lol. I wouldn't think Colt would be that invested on seeing more than just to his and Sierra's needs. It was nice for him to invite Joel along for the ride, but I wouldn't bank on him doing anything more... not if Sierra is showing cleavage and a lot of legs. I do wonder what sort of drunk Joel would be... We can poll: What kind of Intoxicated state Could Joel have?: (And I know it depends on more than just Personality and Alcohol, mood going into the act of getting shit-faced does matter). *Relaxed/Chilled *Paranoid/Anxious *Goofy/Giggly/Happy *Sleepy *Angry *Sad *Loud *Horny

Oh no... I can already see the repeat lecture I got from Wildthing over this exact same thing. The man has my kids' birthdays, my anniversary, and husband's birthday saved on HIS calendar and I've still yet to make the attempt to do that with mine. I wish we could just delete this little comment so his life will be spared... and save me the effort of hiding incriminating evidence. Because I know he's not going to be able to keep his mouth shut.

Lmao... that's me if we were going to a more remote cabin. My husband may consider divorce with what I'd require him to pack up into a Uhaul though, I'm thinking. And yeah, there's something about the change of scenery... but is it worth it if you mostly stay in the comfort of indoors? "What scenery are you seeing through that little crack in the curtains?" As I watch a netflix show on a couch not to my taste curled up in a blanket. When we go camping I sit my little butt down in my lounge chair and I read whilst I sip iced water or chilled wine. I don't do lake water... I don't do public pools... and I don't do oceans. I can fish, but if they're not biting within the first fifteen minutes, I'm entirely done - even if they start biting five minutes later, still done. My husband made the mistake of taking me hunting once... one time is all it took to break him of that fantasy. And I make fun of him for being a "city boy," knowing that I'm 10x worse than him, but since I wasn't raised in a city I still get to poke at him for it. I mean, I did teach him how to drive an ATV, Tractor, and all that... so he knows where he came from.
