some that we that way some that were that way I sifted through the guests through the guests I drifted through the guests Well, I guess I will have to be satisfied with a platonic relationship DQ, though I am totally white haired now, as a younger man, I was a blond – quite a light blond during the summers when my hair bleached out and the rest of me tanned (I was living in Florida at that time and spent many hours on the beach, somewhat to my regret) at this advanced age as I have a number of places on my body which have become cancerous in later years as a result of the effect of the sun in my youth. Fortunately small skin cancers from sun exposure (called Basal Cell or Squamous Cell Carcinomas) seldom metastize so I do not have to worry about internal cancers too much. Especially because I have reached the advanced age of 87 without developing any internal cancers, thank you Lord: However, I will have to have additional cryosurgery to remove squamous or basal cells that become cancerous in later life. The process is not fun – the doctor uses a cotton swab dipped into liquid nitrogen or liquid carbon dioxide and presses it against the cancerous cells showing on the surface of the skin. This causes them to freeze and peel off, but it hurts, it is like a burn caused by touching a burning cigarette to the skin. It is effective however.. It is like a localized area of frostbite. It can be performed in the dermatologists office, it is quick and effective for any sun damaged cells that show up on the surface of the skin. However, it does not disclose any microscopic cells that are sun-damaged and the process may have to be repeated later in life.

I recently went back to refresh my memory of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz and read several chapters of the first book. If I remember correctly (which at my advanced age, is questionable) in the original series the slippers that were given to Dorothy after her house had landed on top of the Wicked Witch, were golden, not ruby. The 'ruby slippers' were a creation of Holywood. is there someone out there who has a copy of the book from which the movie ws adapted?

About 30 years ago I had a number of small skin cancers removed by freezing with liquid nitrogen – not a pleasant process. Now a number of areas of infection have reappeared and I should go again to have this new crop removed, but as I am living way out in the Brazilian forest, it is too much trouble. I have been assured they will never metastise and because I do not have another 20 years of life to live, not worthwhile to make the effort.

nice and descent guy nice and decent guy I use a MacBook Air. The keyboard is a little small for my fingers, but it comes with all the programs I like to use. For example: 'Pages' for text. I prefer it to MS Word, it does not have quite all the bells and whistles that Word has, but it suits my plain formatting skills (and it is free!) I do not need a numbers program, so Pages is good. There is available a plastic keyboard cover to keep liquids from fucking up the keys, but I don't own one. I just am careful and lean back in my seat when I take a sip of coffee. My partner bought it for me when he visited Portugal (that is his country of birth) so the arrangement of the keys is slightly different from an American version. That took a little getting used to, but now it seems normal. The letter keys are all in the normal place. It is only the symbol keys that are different, for example it has a Ç key as that is used in Portuguese, but even the # and @ symbols are available if you know the right sequence of keys to press. I am still learning Pound and Euro keys, but they are there, I just need instructions on how to find them.

very British accident very British accent ballet or top dancing ballet or tap dancing It is no wonder, that there are 'ugly Americans' in Corfu. Unfortunately they are everywhere! They are like fleas on a dog. For example, the ugly American is convinced that anyone who does not speak English is stupid. True, American English is becoming the language of business all over the world, but not everyone you meet in Europe is a business person. When I was assigned to Stuttgart in the army, I at least tried to learn a little German.Even when I spoke a few words, with a very bad accent, my attempt was appreciated and I met many nice people that way. The 'ugly American' may be a hackneyed expression, but it is unfortunately all too true.

was resent. Resent as in was recent. Recent as in When I first started reading GA I jumped on every little error in spelling or grammar. Finally after about a month of having other commenters jumping on me I stopped making suggestions in dialog areas. I still find homophones though as Grammarly does not detect them and to an old schoolteacher they can be irritating. Maybe I am just getting a little more tolerant!. The use of poor sentence structure in dialog is usually a symptom of an author replicating a manner of speech or an accent – those I do not correct, but exposition may fall victim to my correction mania as I cannot turn off the old schoolteacher entirely.

large chucks of sausages large chunks of sausages Whoa! a chef who is a graduate of the Cordon Bleu who does not know how to open a Champagne bottle without 'spewing'! Holding the base of the bottle firmly up against your stomach with the neck in your left hand, elevated at a slight angle, untwist the wire lock (counter-clockwise) holding the cork, about six times until it unwinds, then gently with your left thumb and right hand, loosen the cork just a little, allowing the pressure to escape. After just a few seconds, push harder against the side of the cork and the pressure inside the bottle will push it out. It may or may not 'pop' just a bit depending on how much pressure has been released, but it should not 'spew', When pouring, decant down the inside of a chilled slanted glass to decrease foaming. Some foam is to be expected and a reasonably small amount will not destroy the flavor of the wine. Champaign is usually server in tall glasses, just so it will bubble a little. The big secret is cold; cold wine, cold bottle and cold glass with a gentle sidewise pressure between your left thumb and right palm to keep the cork from exploding away from the bottle as it is allowed to push out. See, even an old fag like me, knows how to open a champaign bottle!

If I were you, I wouldn't worry to much about how Grandma would react to all this excitement – after all she was a dancer in the Russian ballet – this might be just a routine amount od excitement for her!

My critical eye did not detect the words 'drug' or the missing word 'tea', so they were indeed fixed. Those are the small errors that Editors are supposed to detect, but I see you do not list any Editors in the heading of the story, arranging for an Editor might be something you could do to upgrade some of the errors or inconsistencies in the many chapters. Why not consider that and relieve your mind about small mistakes?

a wheat portage – a wheat pottage or perhaps porridge. A portage is a trail between lakes over which a canoe or small boat is carried, pottage and porridge are forms of semi-liquid food, either a thick soup or grains boiled with water or milk.

Just remember that the 'turkey baster method' does not really use a turkey baster. It is all done very scientifically using a tube that is so small the female might not even feel it. If the sperm is to be mixed, the lab will select several young and healthy men of the same genetic background as the female and mix up to five different sperm before insemination. No body will know which of the donors is the father unless the baby is subjected to DNA analysis. It truly is a random insemination, but even then there is a significant chance that it will not 'take' the first time and it may have to be repeated several times over a year. If it does 'take' there is some likelihood of multiple births (Here the statistics become confusing; only about 11% of IVF ((in vitro fertilizations)) result I live births and of those only about 80% result in twins with decreasing odds of triplets, almost zero for more than that. And, in order to prevent undo strain on the mother, Doctors will normally remove any more than two viable ova before the third month).

I picked up on this story mainly because it is set in my area of the country, though I have never been to a gay bar in Seattle, Tacoma or Olympia. I was a school teacher in a Community College and had to be deeply in the closest to keep my job. My rule was 'never touch a student below the shoulder or closer Thant the elbow. Frustrating, but it worked for 25 years. I lived in a three bedroom house and took in student boarders, I even became well-known as a good cook, so I always had four students, usually Korean or Japanese living in my house upstairs. When I first moved into the house, I was married, but my wife died from an exacerbation of severe asthma, and I started taking in student boarders soon after.. It is now nearly fifty years later and I still communicate by email with several of them.
