This was one of the saddest stories that I ever heard.

Thriving and striving here in N'west WI on 7/3/24 as good neighbor Nightfall tallies forth another Mystery in aiding this Country boy Farm boy falling asleep. Takin it to the Edge with memories of the radio perched on the windowsill in Grandma's attic bedroom. G'nite all, and may the Intrigue be with you.

I like that "striving and thriving." I will have to attempt to remember this and apply it.

[@lynnrobinson8885]

Absolutely love your imagery with words - always have ! I always love your responses ! Have a good sleep, Country Boy, Farm Boy - hope that doesn’t imply too many daily hard chores yet to do ! , Have a good one ! Take care, 🙏❤🫠

07-03-24 Listening from Southern Ontario, Canada, 43* N. It was 85* today, with 77% humidity, so it felt much warmer. By tomorrow morning, at 11 am, it should be 80*. Hope everyone has a good evening and sleeps well tonight. Another story to help stretch our imaginations as we examine the unlikely. Goodnight !🙏❤🫠

hi it's 7/7/24 hot in Kentucky

[@lynnrobinson8885]

@@lindabaerber7296 Hi! I hear you ! I’m wondering if there are still, still, ANY people who won’t consider that the climate has absolutely been impacted - one way or the other. If not, it will be harder to get people to understand that certain things need to be worked out. Just my opinion,. Hope things become at least more comfortable for your area (and mine, and….and… ). Hope you have a great day ! 🙏❤🫠

Hey Lynn, I'm in Regina & it never got above 70F till yesterday! & I was in Southern Ontario in May & it was cold & rainy --- enjoy the heat! Cheers, the Lizard Man!

[@lynnrobinson8885]

@@awarningtothecuriouswerewolves Cheers, Lizzard Man ! Thanks for replying to the July comment! It’s not so much the heat that bothers me - it’s been the amount of rain ! 😀My tomatoes are drowning and I’m a little worried about the potatoes ! My husband has a hard time with the heat, so I’m the gardener and landscaper, and I do enjoy it ! Just a little less rain would help right now. 🙏🫠

[@thomassecurename3152]

Weird.

[@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc]

No, it's not weird. Bobby loved his mom, despite the way she had treated him.

[@thomassecurename3152]

@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc Review EG Marshals final comments about love and hate. The the gifts, belt, frying pan, and shoe. Indelible child’s memories. She was a prostitute, symbols: belt means man, frying pan as she was an ill suited provider, shoe as punishment. As EG spoke about the line between love and hate. A boy of 4 years. It’s a twisted love for the mom. Regards. Tom.

@@thomassecurename3152 It was a very heartbreaking story!!!

Oh my goodness, grown-up and stupid, however...enough of this!! Sickening. Those who listened more than 3 minutes or the whole episode, i tip my hat!
