Confession
It’s just best to get these things right out in the open first thing!
One might say this could spoil a happy moment… or another might say “drop the bomb when there’s a generally good feeling.”

Hey! I see a great “friends helping friends” hobby coming up, now that Randie has a bit of that mythical “disposable income”. They can start up a JELLY OF THE MONTH club by restocking Ryan’s collection. And maybe Randie can learn the joy of collecting jelly while Ryan learns the joy of eating jelly.
Question, Brig: About how long was Ryan gone? Story time-wise, I mean. I got the impression of… three months or so?
Looks like I sent Brig that CARE package just in time. How much is left in the jars Squidman and I sent you?
XD haha, I wondered when she was going to tell him. Pete, it’s weird how you and I both thought of something similar…Jelly of the Month ftw!
Hmm…
Wade slowly into the cold water or jump completely in?
Ease that band-aid off gingerly or rip it off fast?
Go with the flow of events or be a party-pooping, buzzkill?
I would have waited and allowed Ryan to enjoy the moment and at least sit down first, but the news is now out. Plus, what can he do? He has no money and needs a place to stay. And, double plus, he did bring it up and opened the door as it were.
Pete & Micki… Ryan has no money now. Collecting is not using up. Ever see a prized wine collection consisting of empty bottles? They may supermarket it for a jar or two, however.
Pete: I believe that the maximum amount of time to be “visiting” on his visa would be 6 months. Let’s say somewhere betwixt 3 and half to 6 months in London. I don’t like to nail it down too much.
Yes, Randie has a little extra money in her wallet… but I wouldn’t count on her to KEEP it around for very long. Those Jelly/mo clubs is expensive!
Micki… they’ll have to make do somehow.
Joe: The Blackberry Squidman jam is nearly finished… (poop!) and there is a HUGE dent in the Merlot & Sangria jellies. I have to say that the Sangria is the more delightful of the two. I had to go out and buy more crackers and toast as I ran out of jam delivery devices. I know… spooning the jam right out of the jar would work, too…. and don’t think I ain’t done that! But…
Stick: It just goes to show you that Randie feels awful about the jelly and feels so guilty about it that she had to rip off the band aid right away!
Hi, my name is Bridgett and I’m a jam addict.
Hi Bridgett!
brig… Yeh, only methinks you may have only touched on half of the confession story.
Seems that Randie focuses mostly on herself and tries to max her happiness while minimizing her unhappiness. Feeling guilty obviously made her feel bad so she tried to get rid of that feeling as fast as possible. Trouble is, Rye was feeling great so long as Randie did not free up her unhappy guilt on him. Now she’s releaved…and Rye…will undoubtably feel happy for her now feeling happier about herself…yet be sad inside. Seems like old times.
Should’ve blamed Twinky.
Just as his sojourn with Emily in Merrie Old England, so is Ryan’s homecoming. Anticipation is often superior to a dream realized. It’s partly his own fault, though…Randie’s his BFF and he didn’t know about her jam addiction?
Hey, Joe… what are you doin’ at this meeting?
Gah! Twinky! Yer right, Mr. Gulls… Twinky would’ve been the perfect scape goat, er, cat.
EofO… I think that Randie’s jam addiction was caused by Ryan, himself. Having left her his collection of EXQUISITE jams and inviting her to partake responsibly, he inadvertently led her to the condition. From that point on, it was hopeless.
Brig: My point exactly.
I brought peanut butter.
Gah! Now I want a PBJ! THanks, Joe!
…and I drew in the pages of all of your Steinbeck books.
Whoopsie-doo!
Brig,
BWA-HA-HA-HA!
