Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Allyson, humongously detailed insent. Let me know if it's too much.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
And a short one from me, Allyson.

Backflung, but only somewhat. Detail tomorrow.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Thanks, Hil! That was very helpful.

Oh, good. I always feel like I'm going too grammar-psycho when beta-reading.
I liked a lot of the imagery you had in there.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
It's neat to see all this energy over Allyson's essays.
It took me a bit, but here are my bells.
-----
Canned bells ring out from a little church in a little town where life is sweet (except for weeds creeping up to buckle the sidewalks, drugs, teen pregnancy and the deaths of children playing with guns).
Bells ring for weddings, great white frosted things with laughing 22 year-old tin-can driving college-graduates who will have 2.5 children and live happily ever after. (Or not.)
Bells don’t ring for me. Father O’Malley won’t tilt his head (to let me know the catch in my breath, this presentiment of doom, is unnecessary), and wink to say everything is well; God watches over all.

Oh, Deena. That one's a stinger.

Allyson, backflung.
Like Deb, may be too much feedback. Please let me know.
Also, my Word sometimes doesn't seem to translate all of the "track changes" and highlights and such, so I sent it both as a Word doc and as an html doc, just in case.
