Because cats have nine lives.
Haha, ok, but don't plot to blow us up!Crap! Memory like a sieve. Guess I’ll have to do a Harold and watch from the bushes. I get to be Trash, I’m honored.
We missed you but there will be two more to follow. Plenty of fun to be had. M-O-O-N...that spells 'mark your calendar'.I just sat down for the evening and missed all the fun! I'm here though! And pleased to be Stu Redman. I'll have to come up with some thoughts. I'll be back
mañana.
PS - I can identify with Stu - rock solid, so I am.
You were (are) right. Here's the line: "He was Jess Rider, age twenty, one year younger than Our Heroine, Little Fran."She's 21, I think. She mentions (or we are told in her thoughts) being a year older than Jess in the very beginning. But yeah, that could account for the annoying-ness!
Welp, I got my music going and a cold drink...let's do this!
Good evening, everyone. I will try to not get too high brow. This time is designated for discussing Book One but we can talk about any part you like. All comments are welcome. So, which version is everyone reading?
Details, wanted to read every word that was written. They was a reason the muse spoke in that fashion.
Did you find yourself relating to, or drawn to, different characters this time? I have been interested in Lloyd's story and Larry's journey...man, Larry can't catch a break, can he? Haha.
Frannie is a character that I like better in some parts than others, if that makes sense. Not a big fan when she meets Jess on the pier, but love her interactions with her dad in the garden and cringe for her during the confrontation with her mom in the parlor. That is one of my favorite of the uncut add back parts!
Move over Buzzfeed. SKMB has "Which Character Are You?" Just for fun, but there will be prizes to follow.
Here are the results of the preliminary drawing. If your name matches up to a survivor then you will automatically go into the final drawing which will be held at a later date. I've highlighted those in red to help. Congrats. (To meet the quota, and giving benefit to the originals who signed up, I included the absentee members.) Considering some of the earlier comments, you may find some of these funny.

@do1you9love? Mother Abigail
LOL...I got a kick out of these too. As I was drawing the names from the cup I was grinning. Coolallosaurus and osnafrank got the exact people they hate. I think it's cool how Spidey got Tom...both of them are the sweetest, gentlest people. Time for you to strum that guitar, Do-ya. Ha. (I'm embarrassed to ask this, but could you remind me of your real name in a PM?)...
Yep. I do find it funny that I am the very old, very holy little black woman savior-type person! Somewhere, my old Sunday school teacher just felt a goose walk over her grave!
We're all winners here. You survived the flu, right? Should have stayed in Boulder, Nadine! LOLI’m Nadine. I guess I’ve already lost

You're absolutely right. I can't edit it but consider it done. I'll add your name to final drawing.If I’m not mistaken Joe/Leo survives.

Yeah, that's true. I'm not a parent but I'm guessing some of a parent's fears for their child can (in the heat of an argument) manifest as anger.….just a couple of final thoughts before I go Pokerize somebody....Fran has her annoying moments, but what kid at that age didn't?.....she had to grow up quick, and I think for the most part-she managed.....as to her Mom-the love was there, but filtered through the lens of her own unhappiness.....Dad even said as much...
Agreed! I love the bit where he talks about them going to a ball game and having some beers, then she would fuss at him because she missed the game waiting for the bathroom.….just a couple of final thoughts before I go Pokerize somebody....Fran has her annoying moments, but what kid at that age didn't?.....she had to grow up quick, and I think for the most part-she managed.....as to her Mom-the love was there, but filtered through the lens of her own unhappiness.....Dad even said as much...
