I pointed out what may be a plot hole. I don't think that's being nice. :P

Ok, you were a little mean. :D

You built your original carport?! ::is impressed:: I have an old dog pen I need to get rid of, but just taking it down is too intimidating for me. I certainly never could have built it in the first place.

Well, we set a framwork of piping in concrete and threw a tarp over the top, if you call that building a carport. The replcement is basically the same thing, except professional and much sturdier and better-looking.

Poor Bo! *pets him*

You know, in my day, you went to the dentist for a cleaning and exam as one thing. Now, it seems, you have to specify you want both? Like, in what situation would I want one and not the other? (I suppose if I went every 3-6 months the exam could be skipped occasionally, but since I go once a year, I want both.)

P.S. -- MY DOG IS COMPLETELY ADORABLE.

I thought you might need to know that.

This was the first time I've ben to this dentist, so they needed to do full x-rays and all that stuff. And I need a deep cleaning since it's been so long, which probably means putting me under because I'm such a wuss about people boking my mouth with sharp objects. Woez.

Maybe your betas are being nice because your story is splendid.

My first drafts are rarely splendid, alas!

You are too hard on yourself.

made plans to repurpose the old carport frame into a grape arbor

Oooh, good one. My old Italian neighbors had one and it was very shady and cool in the Summer.

We had grapes out the wazoo when I was a kid. I wish that when we'd moved from my childhood home I'd thought to take some cuttings, since along with the ordinary red grapes Dad had a couple of vines that had teeny tiny pea-sized seedless green grapes. We always thought we'd gotten a defective Thompson Seedless, never having seen such tiny grapes before. But many years later, lo and behold, teeny seedless green or black grapes started showing up in Trader Joe's under the name of currents or champagne grapes. So apparently our defective grapevine was a thing...
