And debating Britishism on "it did me" the page before? I'm actually wondering how much Banger might be filtering into our Cali girls.

Ineffable re-read, found one zap: "and nor" near the top of page 33 (PDF) feels like the "and" should be gone. ^^;

As someone who's basically forced to watch too many reno shows, I'm actually taking it as an anachronism. They didn't want to use linoleum for so long that when it got back in "style" they tried to make it sound more friendly.

Not sure if you want potential britishisms reported here, but you reference Mr G planted in the lino. It may be just me, but I've never heard linoleum shortened like that.

Yeah, but he also needs to stop trying to justify what his wife is doing and STOP MISGENDERING YOUR DAUGHTER! I really felt that Taylor was about five seconds away from the nut shot she was thinking about.

A) Aaaahhhh (still screaming from the last chapter, so I never got an actual comment out). B) I'm moving Luca G from the dog house to the penalty box; just the fact that he went to Taylor's house for help feels like a big step.

This is wild! Love it! One tiny little edit: I dont remember anyone calling it a 'land line' in 2003, it would be just the home phone and not a cell phone

I'm only writing it out in words in dialogue, which I admit is not something I'm wedded to lol

Great continuation of the story. Minor quibble. Instead of saying Nine-Eleven, just say it as 9-11. Otherwise a great story!

I loved the journey from "oh, this is a dream sequence" to "oh, it's a fucking bushfire"

I was in Korea that fall, and had a long field problem that October . . . I don’t remember that fire at all . . .
It came as a total surprise to me.

Mrs Giordano is absolutely going to take this as divine wrath lol. I can see her going full Disney villain based on that belief.
Also that hymn takes me back to primary school in 70s England. That and "When a Knight Won His Spurs". I can just hear the detuned piano.
