Bona sera,
Luna,

I chose it because it was somehow readable, could you imagine calling me Webster, Real Academia or Aurélio?

I'm sorry about your Dad, I hope he recovers soon.


I think I have never mentioned it. My Dad had a son out of marriage with and American girl. My step brother lives in Houston I think. We have never had contact with him.

Here's Dad story

He has 10 children.

1 Boy, before marriage, I don't know if he has been in contact with him recently.

6 3 boys 3 girls with my mom to whom he married when he was 32 and she was 25.

3 Girls with a woman with whom he lives since he left my mom 23 years ago.

I haven't spoken with my Dad since he left 23 years ago.

Gas here in CT is $2.33 at BJ's, y'all know BJ's?


Yes, we know BJ's. Their business plan appears to be to put their stores in tertiary locations not served by Costco or Sam'sClub. Not a bad approach. They are based in Natick in the People's Republic of Massachusetts I beleive. Next town over from where I lived.

Is it because you don't know how to contact him? Or other reasons? If I am not being too nosey or personal.

He hasn't contacted me in any way. I'm the 5th, he has ignored us totally. Wiped off. Amazing isn't it?

I am going to probably again be accused of being Larousse...but I agree with her, Todd.... Steve is a very nice chap to talk to...I think you would like him, too.....


So Larousse,

Is Steve the name of the motorcycle?

Larousse,

I am so sorry. It must be difficult for you. I simply do not understand how a man can desert his kids.

Thanks Larousse. Now I am really depressed. Hopefully, he is at least 90.

It's okay Larousse. Today, a boy scout helped me cross the street.

Hi guys!

I just put a bisque load (the first of two firings) in my kiln. It's full of work that will need to be glazed with my wonderful new (please!, please!) glazes. Then back in the kiln for a glaze (second firing) firing. This is where things tend to go to chit.

For my B-day I did treat myself to new glazes & a box of Good n Plenty.

Larousse, I'm sorry to hear how your father treated his children. I too don't understand it.

Todd,

which word if any would you prefer your WW used when she talks about her 'mistake'?

Yes larousse I hope so too. Superb & dependable.

Why is your ceiling leaking? How is it it didn't get fixed by repairman?

Larousse,

In my view, the word "mistake" is a euphemism to blunt the harshness of what she did. I prefer infidelity or cheating. Call a spade a spade.
