Chapter 40 - A Nearly Perfect Ending
Bill W commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 40 - A Nearly Perfect Ending
You're welcome, Greye, and I'm glad you're enjoying this story. This book was started in 1998, so I'm glad it doesn't seem outdated and still proves interesting. Thank you for the feedback. -
You're absolutely correct.

The problem with a skinwalker's height is that he's easier to spot in a crowd, and if he's wearing the same clothes, it might make people question to similarity. You know what they say on many TV shows: there's either no such thing as coincidence or the done believe in conincidence. He's not like Odo from Star Trek Deep Space Nine and can change his clothes when he transitions as well. And the problem with gaslighting is that no only could they make her look nuts, but her claims would drow even more attention to them, maybe sympathetic attention, but it's attention just the same, and someone else, who has known Luella for a long time, might pay more attention to the boys to see if there might be a basis for her accusations.

That's always a possibility, Al. Let's just hope the boys don't screw up andd give her any more of a reason than she alreadyf has about disliking them. She seems to be one of those people that think they have a little power and some stature in the community and she seems seager to use it, justified or not.

Chapter 03 – Immediate Concerns Classes started on Monday and the professors began at full tilt, so there was a considerable amount of reading we had to do before the next class met. Some of the professors assigned additional work as well, so we were very busy and had a lot to do. Despite the hectic pace, we managed to remember to purchase the tickets we’d need for Saturday’s football game, and I’m certain Gramps and Pops would have been very disappointed if we hadn’t done that.

When investigating 1991 VG, I discovered this is not a unique occurrence. According to the article I read, similar events have occurred many times in the past and they'll probably happen many more times in the future. These objects, however, are usually far too small to be seen or considered a moon, but it's still very interesting.
-
I hope you have the strength to do what needs to be done to finally break free of everything you've been addicted to. It's painful enough to reach mid-life and your body refuses to do the things you were capable of when you were younger, or even a few years before, but I'm sure it's considerably more difficult to deal with this crisis when other issues get in the way. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I hope you're successful this time around.
-
Was this object actually in an orbit around the earth, or merely orbiting the sun? If it wasn't actually orbiting the earth, then it wouldn't have been considered a second moon.

I believe that's an example of overexplaining, because he explained common words that we already understood or could easily figure out. All we needed were the explanations for the Aussie lingo. Wrap your laughing gear 'round that, mate?
-
Again, that's English, but with a slightly different vocabulary that would need to be explained, and I'm sure that's what you did, one way or another. It's the same type of problem peiople have when they hear or try to sing Waltzing Matilda.
-
But that's not a foreign language and can easily be figured out, although it's obvious that they are lower class, possibly uneducated speakers.

Cruella - very cute turning her into the Disney villain in 101 Dalmatians. But the boys are being careful, and that's why Mac has to drive to the campus before they go to the dog park, and why he also has to drive to somewhere else before they return to the house, since Luella knows they don't have a dog and would question it. For those that have forgotten, Devin is Bi, so if it came to having a problem with artificial insemination, he could actually do the deed. And yes, it is possible for a skinwalker to transition into the opposite sex, so Mac could transition into a woman so Devin could practice having heterosexual sex, if it came to him having to do the deed to have a son, ar vice versa. Thank you for your questions and your support.

First of all, I thought my suggestion of using the parentheses was easiest for the reader, since they wouldn't have to look for a note or go to a glossary. And we're not implying that the readers are idiots, but we're just making it easier for those that don't speak the second language you are using, so they can understand. I know, I for one, and I'll admit it, lose interest in a story and stop reading when too much of it is written in a language that I 'm not familiarity with. because I feel I'm missing too much of the story - possibly something important. If that makes me an idiot, so be it.
-
Gramps and Pops knew how she was and were very careful around her. They may have let her see them as dogs in the back yard, but they never let her see them transition.
-
What get so complicated? If you use a foreign phrase in your story you can just use parentheses following the foreign phrase with the English translation in it, such as the following. "Oh mon dieu!" (Oh my god) she cried.
-
Thank you for your support and I'm glad you were able to catch up.
-
No problem. We all do that from time to time. I'm just glad you're trying to keep me on my toes when I do make a mistake like that.
-
When I looked back at the chapter, I didn't find Gramps referring to Devin as his great-grandson. Pops explained that the boys were his great-nephews, and the boys referred to his as their great-uncle, but that's all. Let me know if you found something different.
-
Thank you for the additional information.
-
Yes, that is a possibility when they use their ability.
-
That's exactly why I gave her that name.
-
Thank you for educating me about this. I guess I should have gone to see the Mean Girls movie. However, before I retired had had run into several individuals that would have been classified as a "Karen".
-
I take it the "Karen" reference is a character out of the Barbie movie, since you made the Ken reference. JFYI, Luella next door has never been married (I wonder why) and lived with her daddy until he died. But the boys definitely have to be careful of their activities when they're at the house. Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you for caring, and my absence was caused by health issues, but hopefully the worst is behind me. The slip at the restaurant was my error, and hopefully the owner of Dominick's didn't catch it. I'll have to correct that. As far as the "Karen" remark - I must be out of the loop. I'm not sure what that means, although I can guess. The skinwalkers have the ability to use surrogates the same way as others, it's just that they have to make certain their sperm isn't used for others. Their ability will allow them to impersonate a clinic employee, or employees, as they enter the clinic to destroy the sample after the surrogate is impregnated. Thank you for the feedback and catching my error.
