To Stik re "Let's Hang Out"  : I immediately craved a rootbeer float. The ice cream in the fridge is blueberry/banana/raspberry. Would any go good with Pepsi? I have no idea what a zero-proof or and arcade-bar could be. Maybe a blog on regionalisms of the Frozen North Coast? I see no reason why a bookstore or library couldn't be 24/7. Yes, it would have to be set up for that but there are 7/11s here and all-night diners in US cities, and... the cop shop could be open with a public area instead of being a bunker (the ones I remember). No reason why it couldn't be in a mall, one that includes a tower or six of apartments. The integration of work and play and a place to stay is foreign to Americans who insist on living in don't-speak-to-your-neighbors whitewashed suburbs, work in a place that must include parking and an hour commute, while they spend their one-week vacay in deSantis-land or flying into the Casino-smorgasbord in the sweltering desert. I used to hang out in cafes pre-covid and went to the library every Tuesday. Here? I walk to the market most every day, drink coffee at home, and still have no clue where the local hang-out is located. Pan prefers delivery and taking Grab (like Uber) instead of walking. I could scream. To Mary Martin Arnold on fb: "OMG... that is spot on! I remember Brandon... very violent alcoholic. In getting to know him I realised that drugs and alcohol were his meds. His severe depression was one of his main problems." To fatherthymme re "Day337, 7-21-23 Update" : "Good to see an update. Have you tried an eye-patch? Regardless, you'll need new glasses come August.At 71 I'm slowing down and being very careful; but, this year in Thailand has helped: not living alone, working out every day, swimming most every day, getting out of bed (number 1 most important task). I keep track of new routines to establish new habits. "I may be slow but it gets done." To Steph re "Book review: The Duke and I " I really really need to do reviews of Thai BL series. I've watched enough to actually know what's what! I prefer those that are more than a rom-com. One I'm watching now "AiLongNhai" is supposedly fluffy and pointless and unlike most BLs the sex comes in episode #2... which actually makes sense plot-wise. Sex-too-soon, even when consensual, provides the tension. I'm also watching "Home School" (horror imho) and "Enigma" (super-natural drama), neither of which is BL, two series with young actors I'm familiar with due to BLs. What works? Chemistry between the couples-to-be, the ease with which the actors play off each other and whether they become their character is one essential ingredient. I so need to do reviews!
