Girl, if I was Gondwana, I would never have split up with you. That's the best my sleep deprived butt can come up with, but I couldn't stop myself from brainstorming (buttstorming?) after Laurasia first appeared in the story. Do you perhaps use autocorrect that holds grudges against Larisa? The chapter was like picking up Larisa's coffee order from Starbucks for a week, which was too amusing, at least in my current condition. You keep painting an exquisite picture of Avery looking and feeling out of place, and of the rising tensions inside the (love) triangle: Avery's mystique and Darlene's off-putting hands-on conduct. I knew the mess that Avery would make the moment he uttered spaghetti out of his mouth. Isn't there an unwritten rule that you do not order spaghetti on a date because there's no dignified way to eat it? Twist the fork all you like, but the dangling ends coated with sauce will still dance on your chin. As a person who hasn't learnt to appreciate the art of wine, the first image that popped into my head is Christy thinking: "Okay. This tastes like wine. Now say something smart." So turns out Jobs went to heaven and sold Jesus on an iPhone. I guess those Christian content filters paid off. I expected him, sorry, her to be more fun... I need someone to lock up my phone at night. I can't keep living like this. I hope it at least produced funny commentary. Anyway, until the next nightly chapter read! I will devour the rest of this story like Avery a bowl of fancy pants pasta.

I use the dark theme, so for me reading this was a bit problematic, because of the black font colour being used instead of the default one (which changes from black to grey with the dark theme). This story flows nicely and is pleasant to read. There just was one glaring continuity problem in this chapter when Darlene slams the door of Julian's office closed twice. Also, the last part here confuses me. Did Darlene tell Avery about the accusations or not? From Avery's reply it seems she did. Does it mean that she had initially chosen to leave them out, but then told him anyway? Another thing that caught my attention was Darlene setting out the lotion before even checking Avery's tape job. I love the nonverbal implications of it. It seems like a statement: "I already know you did a sloppy job, young man." Lastly, Bryan has been Byran from time to time in the story, once in this chapter. Alright, please carry on stirring the plot. I'm ready to eat it right up.

I think there's a chance for one more twist. It didn't seem right to me that Sarah would have to move to another state without saying goodbye to her friends. She might be going to Lisa just to do that before catching a flight to Wisconsin. This can still go either way.

So the good kind of hell of a trip, not the fiery, getting grilled alive for centuries kind of hell of a trip? Right..? Right?

Oh wow! What a way to blindside her. In Kath's position I would probably have a panic attack and never be able to trust him again, but for the story I like how it emphasises that as a little she has no say in the matter. In a story: kinda kinky. In reality: relationship crushing abuse of trust.

I'm beginning to get invested in this story! Kathleen diving into this dynamic by signing a contract before a face to face meeting as equals is quite reckless, but at least she has Tiffany looking out for her (albeit with possible ulterior motives). To be fair, it's reckless from both parties. I'm one with the darkside on this forum as well as UIs in general. I like to read the latest chapters before going to sleep. Could you perhaps look into your work flow? Invision can be wonky with text formatting as you can see from the included screenshot I took of the beginning of your latest post. It's been a while from when I last copied something from Word to this forum, so I don't know exactly what's the easiest fix. Anyway, thank you for sharing this story! I'm looking forward for more!

Getting babysat by your crush's boyfriend. I don't envy her! It shall be a valiant sacrifice for a good story.

If I remember correctly from a Last Week Tonight episode, the requirements vary from state to state. Some states have almost no supervision on homeschooling. It's unfathomable that is allowed in a developed country.

It has to be obvious to the mother that Sarah is trying to go to the bathroom whenever she needs to and is physically incapable of holding her bladder for a longer time. She has to be delusional to still think Sarah wants to have accidents. I hope whatever is causing the incontinence doesn't cause Sarah to crash before she can see a doctor. The incontinence could be caused by neurological damage, tumour or diabetes. To my recollection no other symptoms have been mentioned in the story so far, which could make psychological cause more likely, but that requires treatment nonetheless. Urinary tract infection can cause incontinence as well, but given how long Sarah has had problems with her bladder without other symptoms, I highly doubt it's the cause.

It was already established that Kelly is less than nice person, but this has to be a new low.

The prints are cute enough, but at least in the store where I first saw them, they are more expensive than some more absorbent diapers or diapers with some features I find desirable, such as hook-and-loop tapes, that the Land of Genies don't have. I couldn't see a reason to pick them out of all the options.

I almost bought some diapers from ABU's EU store during the sale, but eventually decided against it. For 120 € order you would have gotten a free t-shirt. The problem was that the diaper bag that got me over 120 € also doubled the shipping cost. In addition, they were out of Little Kings that were what I was mainly after. Given how frequently ABU seems to be out of stock, there must be more than one problem in their supply chain. I ended up buying from Diaper Minister instead. They had cheaper shipping, more variety, and Little Kings! Is ABU's main priority to restock their retailers instead of their own store? I don't know anything about business.

In Finland it at least used to be typical for younger children to just wear long underwear or tights indoors. During the cold winter months you'd just take off your snow pants or snow suit after you came home, and you'd be left with tights or long underwear that you had worn underneath. As you got older, you'd more often opt to change into something else, such as sweatpants, to wear indoors. I would say by the age of ten, I more often wore sweatpants indoors than long underwear. Boys only really wore tights here as toddlers when I was a child, which was the 00's. That's partly why I now have a few pairs of tights myself, plus that I find them more comfortable than sticking the legs of my thermal underwear into my socks.

Because it would then be capybare. Are you going to finish eating your meatballs?

Net Nanny is still around. Whether it has anything to do with the original in addition to the name is another thing. I don't know about Cyber Patrol. Net Nanny was sort of synonymous to parental controls back in time, but I don't think they are the market leader nowadays. I also installed Qustodio to my desktop PC when I found out about the free version. Because you can only install the free version on one device, here I am typing away on my laptop in the middle of the night... Having typed that I feel as guilty as I should and will go to sleep.
