How does that phrase go, Inquiring minds...?

And can you believe how expensive those things are? The one with the link I posted wasn't the most expensive either. The drying and heat of a dishwasher might be a bit rough on those not made of stainless steel. Ooohh, wait! The description says that thing can be used for both the backdoor and the front. I trust all the edges are nice and smooth. 😀

Oh, thank goodness, I'm not the only one who's surprised that locking plugs actually exist! Writing this chapter, I knew where I wanted to see things go, but couldn't figure out how to protect Kidd from the pipe. Then, it hit me: Why not have him wear a plug that couldn't be removed? Next up was handy-dandy Google and a search for plugs, and what did yours truly happen to chance upon? Locking plugs! Of course, there are locking plugs. Once the laughter stopped (no, not at people who use them, but rather that I actually came across some in the research). And, presto, Kidd was saved from pipe rape. Pardon, I just couldn't let that happen to him. Our dear, sweet CC. So, @Summerabbacat, picked up on that little teaser, did you? Be patient, 'my pretties' (a nod to The Wizard of Oz); all things come to those who wait. It's a bit down the road, but rest assured, her story will be told, and it might just surprise you.

Ah, thanks. I always enjoy a little trivia.

Continued... Jake looked up and called out, “Shir, CC, thank the Great Spirits you two are here and are both okay. Could y’all go to the house and see about Mannly? I told him not to come outside, and he’s likely worried sick.” ---------- After what felt like an interminable amount of time, Kidd had been loaded into the ambulance and taken to Dr. Mac’s clinic, with Doc and Bass following. The firefighters had checked the barn, surrounding buildings, and areas, then the remaining s

Understood. I've tried writing today but the flare is winning this round. Sending gentle hugs 🤗

If we're talking types of surgeries @drsawzall, sounds like @Summerabbacat has the perfect suggestion, especially sans anaesthesia.

Odd, isn't it, how time can sometimes pass at a snails' pace @Summerabbacat, then go by so quickly when we want something to last. Take today, for instance; Fibro flare days are a different kind of hell that seem to drag on relentlessly. If there were pain meds that worked, I'd be happily out cold.

One can only hope @Doha. Personally, I believe the cell 6 feet under is fitting, after experiencing a bit of unpleasantness that is.

Shitfaced certainly felt well deserved @drsawzall. It's amusing to hear some of the intellectually challenged responses on source citing. Is our educational system that bad, or is their Kool-Aid that strong?

Matthew MacLarroy Age : 24 Appearance : solid, muscular Height : 5’9” Eyes : brown Irish Hair : black, military cut Son of Dr. MacLarroy, Marine, Reed’s fiancé, becomes half of Two Spirits Horse Ranch's security team; muscular, solid Marine build; strong character, toughened by military experience; served overseas; courageous, determined, dedicated to honor and duty; reserved around strangers; devoted to family and friends. Reed Age : 23 Appearance : slender, muscular Height : 5’7” Eyes : light grey Caucasian Hair : dark brown, curly Volunteer firefighter Matthew's fiancé, cordial personality with an easy smile, tends to be rather shy and friendly, nothing like his family of origin, Shayna’s stepbrother (though not advertised as half-sibling), Dixie Mae’s son, father unknown

I can understand the sentiment but also feel it's better to laugh at the enemy. especially once conquered. There have been a few people come through my life that I've not had positive feelings about, and I have found that when those types of individuals are at their worst, that's the best time to pull out a laugh. To witness an antagonist go from arrogant reassurance to stunned frustration at not getting the reaction they want truly is hilarious @Summerabbacat.

Could very well be @Summerabbacat, that would make for an interesting survey.

It's hard to imagine surviving this life to 100. Heck, I'm surprised to have made it this long.

The things we learn while reading and posting on GA! I wasn't aware @Summerabbacat, but am not surprised to learn those were her legs. Indeed, an attractive woman.

Ah yes, great minds @Summerabbacat and "rectal retribution"? Definitely a line worth saving and is screaming for one of the characters to use. The image "Blowie Buford" brought to mind - eeeeewww! Have to say though, it does seem fitting. The scene where Bass first sees the fire at the playroom entrance was one that just erupted in the mind. It hurt to have to restrain Bass but seemed like what would happen in real life. Frank seems rather quiet but determined and steadfast as well. Having two young men on the ranch who've suffered serious attacks will prove to be interesting as we see them moving forward. Both diminutive and sweet, there'll have to be a strength there that isn't immediately apparent. Dixon Dallas is a cutie. There are a number of his songs I enjoy, and yes, under the Dixon Dallas name, his music is "explicitly gay," while what he releases under Jake Hill is the opposite. There seems to be speculation on which way he swings, but I personally don't think it matters; his music is good. He has another song I've been thinking of using. While there are a number of gay-focused songs, it's can be challenging to find the right one.

It wouldn't be surprising @Summerabbacat if the whole ignorant lot were holding a rally to support him. Of course, despite being convinced of their righteousness, those bigots aren't brave enough to come out from behind their hoods. She was popular then. As for JR, he made for a good caricature.

That would make sense @sandeman. For all their bravado, none of them are man enough to approach head-on but rather have to scurry around like the rats they are and carry out a blitz attack. Poor River, one would think when he realizes that the propane tank played a part, he'll have some struggles to deal with. Thank you kindly for the compliment. I'm loving all the comments. To answer your question @Summerabbacat, Google is a great tool. Typing in Hillbilly names and presto! There were some that were rather tame, but Bufod, Jedediah, and Cletus sounded like the fit. LOL Right on the nose there @dboggs9700, the religious zealots always wrap themselves in the "good book" they've cherry-picked from. No doubt whoever they are had a big ol' bar-b-que planned to celebrate after. Seems just the scum got roasted.

Hhmmm, good question @VBlew. It is just a room or small structure off the bunkhouse, so either he got lucky, in his mind anyway, or he'd been lying in wait and spotted the two. Fire is terrifying, but I can't say I'd feel sorry for him. Seems he might have gotten away if it weren't for Coop being so observant. Really amazing how he's caught and yet, still threatening, “Bastards, I’m going to kill you both!”

Whew, talk about hot pursuit @Wiyot. It was so tempting to let Bass have a real go at him. I'm not sure the guy would have survived, and that's without Bass knowing anything more than when he and Frank headed out of the playroom with Kidd. As for the horse manure, yeah, that was fun. I do feel bad, though, for the EMTs and deputy that have to ride with him to the hospital.

As the afternoon went on, Mannly took detailed notes on how to play, and though he didn’t fully understand, he listened in as the others continued to joke with one another and tease Doc, keeping him blushing. Then, after three rounds of cards, Jake and Sam decided they were ready to play some tunes. “Jake, y’all are doing a Dixon Dallas night, right?” “Yeah, Frank, interspersed with requests.” ---------- “I have one for you then. How about ‘Something to Feel’?” “Looks li

Thank you, @Wiyot. What a thoughtful message. No worries, I haven't survived this long by paying any mind to the kinds of things it takes to play the role of keyboard warrior. One of the many great things about GA is the vast assortment of genres to choose from, so there's something to fit everyone's taste. Again, your kindness is appreciated. Sending gentle hugs for now or when you feel the need.

Poor, pitiful Buford, Shayna, and Daisy Mae all left on the sidelines to only watch with no action.

@Wiyot, a new pay-per-view event!

In Shayna's words, "It's a date!"
