That little hotel is a refuge for many. Some just imagine the increasing lateness of arrival...

There are more than a few street people here in Santa Cruz who would be so much better off if they could check into this calm, quiet hotel...

No need to apologize for where the stories come from - we get it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to empty the lint screen properly…she never does it right.

Positive insanity... Thanks Kristi.

HaHaHa! Hoping this does not give license to so many women to act on their desires. 🤣

Lots of wives have murderous thoughts, maybe, but few act on it. You never know, Wade. Try to stem that annoyance factor would be my advice...

Forgiveness is 9 tenths of the law. No one understands. I guess third times a winning ticket for the last game of solitaire.

Yeeks!

If my wife was that nonchalant about murder, I wouldn’t be writing this. Then again, she does leave piles of stuff everywhere, never fully closes a cupboard drawer…

Fun story, Sharron. 🤓

Great one Sharron, I love how neat it is. Three parts and a resolution. It made me think of that song, ‘To Keep My Love Alive’ by Ella Fitzgerald…

I will check that song out right now. And, I believe one of the characteristics of a sociopath is their tidiness. Thanks, Tom

Chef's kiss. Thanks for sharing. It's the right balance of very dark and "Well, yeah, I would, too."
