Oh my gawd, Marvin, this was hilarious. Likely because I am taking care of my daughter's overweight bulldog with a hind end that is missing hip joint connections...yes, they are floaters...For the past week, I've had to lift her and hoist her onto our bed, otherwise she cries all night until I do. Let me just say, I could relate to drunk Liz and the poor sap assigned to getting her home safely. Great read and excellent imagery. Now you've returned the favor of making me laugh today :)

This is fun, isn't it? I'm so fortunate to have you, a person and a writer, in my corner. (you make a nice group)
Russ's evening seam's like a picnic compared to your pooch problems. Sorry!
Thanks for the compliments and, of course, for the many stars.

This is your funniest chapter, Mel. Especially the lines: "Liz had the usual number of appendages for a female in her mid twenties, but each seemed to have a mind of its own. Add to that, her head kept flopping from one side to the other. If you're keeping score, I was losing." You had lots of description of getting Liz in the car (which makes me happy). What makes me sad is my lack of sixes.

?Are you talking to me? I'm the only one here.?
Thanks for checking in. I'm glad you saw the humor in this chapter. I started telling readers this is a Rom/Com in the author's notes, since there's no option for it where it should be.
This piece lacked the Rom. Glad you thought it had the Com.
Thanks for your remark about description. This chapter was a departure for me and a struggle. Actually, every chapter is a struggle.
Thanks for your sentiment regarding your lack of sixes. That means a lot to me.

Seen this happen more than a few times driving down the streets that have pubs, bars, and bbq pubs all along the way. Heard of such happening from others as well. Very well painted, and yes it was funny too. Thank you for sharing.

Only one SPaGs:
"... for a female in her mid twenties [ mid-twenties ], but each seemed to... "

Thanks, Ginger. Nice to hear from you again.
I'm so glad you saw the humor in it. The story is a Rom/Com, but there wasn't much Rom in this part.
Thanks for the compliments.

Hi Bill. For such a complicated combination of contortions (how's that for alliteration?) you have managed to write the whole sequence of wrestling Liz into the car with descriptive clarity. Good job with that. Marilyn

Hi Bill. You're welcome. Things are getting back to normal around here--slowly. There are a couple more of yours that I still haven't read as yet. Marilyn
