    Chapter 1 S2

    I think Barry likes the boys and just feels Devin is a little odd, since Mac doesn't do the same things. If they both wore oversized clothing, then he might get suspicious.

    Yes, their are many surveillance methods they would have to worry about, but let's hope that doesn't become the situation and the boys are careful. I don't believe Barry is suspicious, only picking on Devin, but Mac may convince him that isn't necessary and there are other ways to handle his concerns. And Happy New Year to you and all my other readers. I'm looking forward to a very rewarding 2024.

    Grandpas are always wiser. They have years of experience when making decisions. Yes, Mac has always been a bit shy. Devin is more outgoing and vociferous than he is. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter and Happy New Year to you as well.

    Chapter 1 S2

    It's not that he can no longer transition at college, he just has to be careful and not do it multiple times around the same group of people. Eventually, someone is liable to catch on. And as Devin and told Michael a few times, Gramps and Pops have their ways of finding out things or getting things done, so that's even a better reason for him to be careful.
  5. You're welcome, Chris, and a Happy New Year to you as well. I hope you continue to enjoy this story.

    Yes, @Al Norris Devin was scolded about his behavior during the previous academic year, but he has to learn to not take too many chances in front of the same group of people. Otherwise, they might catch on to what he is, and that would lead to major problems. I'm sure he'll listen, because if he doesn't there are only three possibilities: 1) his secret will be discovered; 2) his family finds out and the determine their own type of punishment for his behavior; or 3) he gets lucky and neither the family nor anyone else realizes what he's done. Will see if he listens or which of those three options result from his actions.
  7. In employment there are three types of termination. 1) Voluntary - you decide to leave your position for your own reasons; 2) involuntary - your employer removes you from your position, in other words you're fired; and 3) mutual - you and your employer agree to end your employment.
  8. From the Latin terminatus (past participle of terminare), to the verb terminus (to set boundaries, limit) to the late Middle English terminate.
  9. 2023 is about to terminate and we will move into 2024. Happy New Year to everyone!
  10. Chapter 01 – Heading Back to CSU Devin and I slept until 9:30, and when we woke up we went down to the kitchen to see what there was to eat. As soon as my mom saw us, she asked a question. “Are you ready for breakfast?” “Yeah, we are,” I answered. “Would you like scrambled eggs, sausages, and toast or waffles and sausages?” “Can we have the scrambled eggs, sausages, and toast with a waffle on the side?” “Certainly, I’ll get right on it. Your father and I ha
  11. Michael (Mac) and Devin are now sophomores (2nd year) at college, and Michael is looking at things with different eyes, since he is also a skinwalker now. This doesn’t merely mean through the eyes of the animals and others he transitions into, but in general he now looks at situations differently, since he has this new ability, but will it change him?

    Spiders

    Of course it would be from Australia. Isn't that where 80% of the spider's live? At least 80% of the poisonous spiders.

    2024

    Happy New Year to the GA family, and I think you'll find that 2024 will be just as exciting and entertaining as 2023 and previous years.
  14. The casing that were used for sausages were originally the small intestines of animals, but in recent decades artificial casing are used.
  15. I remember being given a liverwusrt sandwich when I was a kid. but it wasn't a sausage. It was a pinkish paste my grandmother had spread on bread, topped with mustard and a slice of swiss cheese, and I didn't think it was bad at all.
  16. So, age didn't matter, as long as they were ginger-haired and virgins? Maybe the blacksmith kept a bevy of them handy for the purpose. And I'll bet some of the younger ones asked if masturbation made them ineligible to donate. 😁

    Chapter 13

    Another wonderful chapter in which you tied up a lot of loose ends. Michael got to meet all of the people connected to the shop he'd be working at, Charlie got Joe to help him convince Gramps about restoring the mini, and Stacy pulled off the surprise birthday party for Michael and Charlie with the help of a lot of others. A very upbeat read.
  18. Is that semi-circular structure a fort? And if so, was it constructed for the Revolutionary War or the Civil War?
  19. In Middle English there was no s and the word was either spelled ile or yle. The word, however, is probably derived from the Latin word insula (island). Possibly also borrowed from the Old French, ille.
  20. The British are fond of using this term (Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, etc.), but there is no clear distinction between an isle and an island.
  21. The Hebrew equivalent to the Greek letter iota is yodh (the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet). Therefore, do you think the Hebrew letter yodh was the inspiration for the name Yoda, the smallest Jedi in Star Wars (whom some opponents might consider insignificant)?
  22. IOTA is also the name of a company that designs and manufactures state-of-the-art emergency lighting equipment for commercial use.
  23. In math, iota is used to represent an imaginary number, such as the square root of negative one. Therefore, iota to the fourth power is equal to one.

    Spiders

    After I checked the furnace filter tonight, to see if it needed to be changed, I stood up into a spider web. The sticky web was stuck to my head and face, and when I tried to wipe it off, it merely got stuck to my hand. I was wearing a hooded sweatshirt at the time, with the hood down, so I was hoping the spider didn't drop into there. No matter what I did from that point on, it seemed as if I could still feel the web on my head and neck and it gave me the creeps.
  25. Pustules may form when your skin becomes inflamed due to allergic reactions to food or insect bites.
