The professional buttons are pushed by this day's entry. I enjoy reading the fiction from time to time - and admiring your forbearance with the younger generation and more. <br /><br />I hope you have established some legal rights to littlestFetched; I am worried for you and Mrs. Fetched et al Fetched. Mason does need continuity that you provide. May no one decide to remove him to get back at you (for being so accommodating, among other things).R Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16105883932340123448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-34292193087658834572010-12-23T22:15:40.209-05:002010-12-23T22:15:40.209-05:00Reality is often stranger that science fiction .. ...Reality is often stranger that science fiction .. stuff like this is proof of it.<br /><br />I'm always jarred because there's an occasional poster on the HBB who goes by the name "Big V" and is an older woman posting from somewhere in Georgia. From what you said, though, she's not likely to be the same one.<br /><br />Made another fleece turtleneck and lycra turtleneck to go with - hoping to wear them both tomorrow for a little trail ride.Nudgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01513472441473206482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-2417662851789832592010-12-23T21:41:06.647-05:002010-12-23T21:41:06.647-05:00I may never eat bacon again.

Even weirder reality."<br /><br />Nudge, Big V is Mrs. Fetched's younger sister. She learned a long time ago how to manipulate the rest of the family… I think there was a childhood incident where she was hiding under a pickup truck (not white) and her dad ran her hair (!) over. Being the loop-de-loop in a generally loopy family doesn't hurt either.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-55585381513608540712010-12-23T20:14:48.156-05:002010-12-23T20:14:48.156-05:00Erik, I can vouch that Far is neither Jim Kunstler...Erik, I can vouch that Far is neither Jim Kunstler nor a resident of Menlo Park.Nudgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01513472441473206482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-70996046375641266402010-12-23T19:01:27.615-05:002010-12-23T19:01:27.615-05:00Just remember, Mr Wu's pigs are always hungry,...Just remember, Mr Wu's pigs are always hungry, and bacon is tasty.<br /><br />Far, I'm speechless after reading this one. You're certainly making the South sound a lot more "interesting" than I had thought it might be.

But I don't worry about Mason being influenced, he already doesn't like her and doesn't have a problem letting it be known. Continued reproduction is a definite worry; she already miscarried a couple months ago.<br /><br />Erik, I don't know James Kunstler, although I know who he is, and I am no James Kunstler. :) But I do appreciate the compliment. Having Snippet whacked isn't really an option, then I'd be worse than her & I don't want that.<br /><br />It's remotely possible that The Boy was involved in the lift, but it's more likely he wasn't aware of it until it was too late to do anything about it. Now if he turned her in, that would be a Happy Day — but from past behavior, it's more likely he'll go "noble" and take the fall for Snippet. Which would suck, and seriously tempt me to take the Mr. Wu's pigs route…Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-11963532676575241262010-12-23T10:42:09.452-05:002010-12-23T10:42:09.452-05:00If this were "Deadwood", you'd have ...If this were "Deadwood", you'd have the option of feeding her to Mr. Wu's pigs and raising the little boy without her malign presence. When I read your stuff, with your talent for fiction, I sometimes think you're actually just a "nome de plume" for Jim Kunstler and he's writing all this just to bolster his dark view of the Southeast...<br /><br />Having lived and worked in the South for a long time, I long ago concluded that the worst ghetto elements are heads and shoulders above Scots-Irish white trash...<br /><br />It sounds like your son and his snippet could be equally guilty at stealing the money from your "Big V". A common self exculpating rational among the young is that the victim of economic "date rape" crimes like that "had it coming" and would have done the same to them with alacrity, given the chance.<br /><br />Are you really sure you're not some guy living in Menlo Park writing this stuff for fun and getting all those pix from "people of Walmart" ??erikhttp://Erik4andA@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-66395239082415249962010-12-23T10:06:11.403-05:002010-12-23T10:06:11.403-05:00Your woes with Snippet make being called an "...Your woes with Snippet make being called an "effing B!&ch" to my face by my (pregnant at the time) adult daughter look like a compliment ;).<br /><br />The Boy ought "scrape her off" anyway.
