Flappy Fatterson!
Geez, Ma, how many yrs have U been going thru "the change" NEway? Flap, flap, flappity, flap, flap, flap! Sum medical journal oughta write U up as the longest case of menopause evah! LOL, & Ger found Ma in the garage using the 'cuum on reverse 2 air out her underarms. I don' even wanna think abt what he was gonna use it 4, tho. Thanx, Becks, 4 saving me the trub of tellin' Ger what a bj is. Yeah, & if NE1 tells my mom I've ev. heard of such a thing, I M totally denying it, peeps. She still thinx I'm this innocent lil ponytail-wearing kid. Dad must think I'm pretty slow 2 ask what's happening w/Mom since she's been doing this flappy shizzit 4evs, but that's the point. I thought she must B suffering fr. something new. Ah, well, that's Mom.
Dunc is coming by in a little while, since our dads have their usual Sunday playdate, so we're gonna study & jam. Ger wants 2 come by 2, but he sed something abt his mom giving him a list of chorez? I'm sure he'll post l8r & xplain. Becks sez she & Jeremy have sum quality time scheduled 2 2day!

Becky,
I was working Krystle’s Kakes and Pies this morning. I know I stopped working there in favor of working at the Mayes’ restaurant starting on Monday, but Becky’s mom, Krystle, said that she might actually pay my back wages if I worked for her today. Here’s hoping she’s not lying about this again, so I can pay my bills.
Anyway, your mother came into the shop with your dad. They were dressed nicely, so I said, “Dr. P. Are you and Mrs. P going off to church?” He replied, “Only Easter and Christmas, and really not even then, since we don't have any kids left to make cute religious comments during the church service. No, we leave that to the Keane family these days. We are just getting some breakfast pastries.” I was confused about this, since I know you still live with them, but I let it go.
Your mom and dad put in their order and while they are waiting for me to fill it, these wiggle lines appear over your mom’s head, her face and body turn red, and no lie, her nose starts to grow right in front of my eyes (sort of like Pinocchio, if his nose grew like someone blowing up a big, red balloon.) Then she grabs her clothes away from her body and starts moving them with her arms like a fan and these “FLAP” words starting appearing beside her body. Then she said, “AAAGH!” and her glasses leapt off of her face and were temporarily suspended in air, before returning back to her face. I suspect the glasses may have been thrust off her face by her rapidly expanding nose, but the effect was mesmerizing, like a good juggling act.
I was immediately concerned and said, “Mrs. P. What’s wrong?” Dr. P said, “Don’t mind her. She’s always in a flap about something!” Well, I was frankly surprised by Dr. P’s lack of concern. I got a few cold packs from the freezer and gave them to Mrs. P. They seemed to help her. She told me she was experiencing a hot flash from menopause and it usually happened at least once a year. Dr. P said, “No. No. No. Ted McCauley told me that you would stop being a crazy woman after 5 years of menopause and it’s been more than 5 years. So, it cannot possibly be a hot flash. Otherwise, I would have said, ‘She’s always flashing about something’ and ‘FLASH’ words would appear beside your body. So, it is obviously your flapping condition.” Your mother looked pretty peeved at your dad after he said this. As she was cooling off and her nose was shrinking back to its “normal” size, I tried to explain to your dad that my grandmother experienced hot flashes from menopause all the way to when she died at age 95, but all he would say was, “Ted McCauley wouldn’t flap me off” or “Don’t try to tell me such flap.” Anyway, I don’t know what’s going on in your dad’s head, but please have some sympathy for your mom. These things can be quite uncomfortable.

that's ok, howard, ne1 witnessing my ma's strange condition wd b a lil thrown off, eh? (if i were my dad, i wd have used this as an xcuse 2 pun on the word "flap", but i'm not cruel like that!)
i don't know y dad puts so much w8 on what dr. ted sez neway. he useta d8 connie when she was a single mom & apparently he even had her xpecting they'd marry sumday, only 2 break her poor lawrence-mothering heart. but he also useta lend my dad his broken-down cabin, so i guess that cd b part of it.
thanx 4 xplaining a bit abt the flashing, tho, cuz it's a bit diff fr. what i learned in health class, i guess.

Dear April and Becky,
I have to admit that I am perplexed by Mike's attempts at writing what you call "slash." Aren't these stories supposed to be arousing? I know I'm not gay but I tried reading it while putting "Counselor Troi" in place of "Capten Pickard" and it still did nothing for me. Well, it did give me a headache.
I was worried this meant that the progress "Big Gerald" has made had been set back somehow, so I took the stories to show Dr. Schlanger. He finished the first story, clapped his hand to his forehead, muttered, "Heilige Scheisze!" and then set fire to the printouts with his lighter. He said something about purification through fire. (That made me kind of nervous. I hope he doesn't decide that Big Gerald and the Boys need purification.)
Maybe you can explain it to me.
Sincerely yours, Gerald

don't worry, ger, i think yr pee-pee doc just thought it was really, really bad & wanted it not 2 exist nemore.
& no, it's not a bad sign that u didn't find the stories arousing. i think it just shows that even when mike wants 2 write sumthin' hott he ends up bringing in his trubs fr. real life, so his main char ends up all frustrated.

Becky,
Thanks for the money. Normally I would wait for your mom to pay me instead of taking money that you got from the register, but the bills have really been piling up. I just got my last check from the Milborough Seniors’ Living Palace and it didn’t go very far. I liked spending time with you at Krystle’s Kakes and Pies, but I must admit the salary promised by Tracey Mayes for working her restaurant is fiscally appealing.
Would it sound strange if I actually did find Michael’s slash strangely arousing? When I was dating Ross (my last boyfriend), we used to do a little Lieutenant Tasha Yar and Lieutenant Worf play-acting, where I would be Tasha Yar. I just love Denise Crosby.

Marc,
I will be sure to avoid the word "'cuumm" in my past, present, and future posts. Is cumin OK? It's one of my favorite spices.
