Hmmmm.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The hush drabble is now closed.
The new prompt is machinery.

Oh, no, is it NaNo time again? I usually try, but fail pretty miserably. Only this year, I won't be traveling for the holiday, so maybe...

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
I am going to go completely insane waiting for Agent Kate to come back with a verdict on whether Sam is saleable.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
is it NaNo time again?
I need more time to decide! I've tried twice and never finished.

OK, when did they stop giving kids a hard time about being left-handed? Although my character in question is well over 60...he probably fits right in to that demo, right? Laga, cheer up...maybe it's like other things and doesn't get good till the third time. (/Everything I know I Learned From Detective Munch)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am 52 and in Milwaukee Elementary schools they gave me a hard time. Even tried to get me to sit on my left hand so I would use my right. However, that only lasted until 3rd grade and even then it was only the older teachers who cared.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My dad was a lefty trained to be a righty. He would be about 70 if he were still alive. I, on the other hand, am a lefty too and it was always accepted.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
My left-handed sister is Scrappy's age and she was given a hard time. They tied my grandmother's left hand behind her to make her write right handed. It made her stutter, which is pretty common. That left-handed gene must be pretty powerful. Most of my mother's family is left handed. As is true of so many things with my family, as a righty I'm the odd man out.

My family seems to have found good luck when it comes to the lefties or else they're just hella strong-willed. My mother was a lefty and my middle brother. Mike was in Milwaukee elementary schools from 4th through 8th grade (1964-68) and I don't remember anyone giving him grief about it. I'm sure if they did, my mother put fear of the wrath of her strong left hand into them.
