They can always handle deaths like they do in the soaps. No one is ever really dead, sometimes phoenixed multiple times! And when the actor has to be replaced they come back after amnesia and a bad accident involving facial reconstruction. Then again, if they love the actor enough they come back as the long lost twin. They don't even bother with the no body no death rule, as apparently there are drugs that can make you appear dead before you are revived later by the nefarious enemy/friend in the secret dungeons. This is part of the entertainment value to me for soaps. No real emotional tie to either character or actor to bring on the tears. It's easier!
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Poor DH, had the lease signed, deposit wired and all that, then the condo board rejected my dog. DH should have lied and said he was a mixed breed since with his floppy ears they wouldn't know he was a vicious dobie. Very sad, but back to the drawing board. I wish he would come here for the summer, but between basketball and his inability to focus here his visits tend to be short. Looking at a 14th floor condo right on Ft. Lauderdale beach tomorrow that might be a good option. Not sure he can park his truck there though.

The guy was killed in an auto accident! I looked it up! He was driving in the Yukon, in a pink convertible, to visit his brother who's an ex-con named Frances, when a tractor trailer comes along and decapitates him. You know what that mean, it means he doesn't have a head. How am I suppose to write for a guy who doesn't have a head? He's got no lips, no vocal cords. What do you want me to do?

Oh, that's such a bummer, Laura! Fingers crossed for finding a good option soon. Hope the Ft. Lauderdale beach place works out.
We decided this morning to do a spontaneous weekend getaway! Shenandoah Valley cabin (with requisite hot tub), innertubes and canoe on site, and we're finally going to do Lurray Caverns on the way home.
Immediately, I'm like, wait, how do two people in innertubes get back...? I don't think I have an answer. Starting to understand why you book a guided trip.
But anyway... yay, getaway!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Lexa on The 100 was nearly a fandom-killer, since it was a case of "kill your gays".
Ugh, yeah. That was bad.

There’s often a shuttle available, Jen

Fun. We did them when I was a kid, so of course I took my kids too. Cool stuff. Literally cool!

Lurray Caverns! One of the best East Coast cave tours!
JenP - Jul 29, 2022 2:37:02 pm PDT #16561 of 30000
Yay, Jesss and Laura! I'm looking forward to the caverns, having passed them lots but never stopped.
We are about 30 mins. from the cabin now.

In a crap turn of events, the hot tub is out of order, they didn't bother telling us that, and it won't be fixed until we are long gone.
I feel bait and switched. And annoyed that they haven't immediately offered a partial refund.
Honestly, we would have picked a place with a working hot tub, had we known.
I'll deal with it after the weekend, but, wow, really annoyed.
