@iboatedhere @firenati0n @taste-thewaste @tailsbeth-writes. Thank you lovelies and tagging you back today.

On Friday I posted the last chapter of 'Wait for me (To come home)' so this one is now complete and safe to binge.

Today I'm coming with a little something something first draft that I'm cooking up for Christmas 👀 (Think Hallmark vibe, small town meet cute, aged up single Dads Alex and Henry, animal shelter owner Henry, DOGS)

Snippet and tags under the cut

Emilia Fox had entered Olivia's life during her first visit to the small town. They hit it off instantly, and since then, Alex has always listened fondly to all the things Millie and she had done during her stays, which often involved the infamous David, Millie’s beagle. Alex had only met Millie once, briefly, when dropping Olivia for a weekend. She had been extremely polite and, quite frankly, adorable with her long blond hair and blue eyes. Yet beneath her sweet exterior, Alex had glimpsed a spark of the spirited nature that matched his daughter’s. But Millie has not been the only subject of conversation. He also has had to hear extensively, and not only from his daughter, but from June and Nora as well, about Millie’s father, Henry, who apparently seems to be a paragon of virtue: kind, handsome, animal lover (he ran the local animal shelter apparently) always ready to help those in need. A real-life Prince Charming.  Alex can't help but feel a mixture of curiosity and, if he is honest with himself, a twinge of competitiveness. He is eager to meet this Henry, this apparent pinnacle of fatherhood and masculinity. And perhaps, a small voice in the back of his mind whispers, he might just discover a flaw or two. Or three. After all, nobody can be that perfect... right?

Debunking 3 Myths about Sewer Lines

Misunderstandings about sewer line maintenance and operation can lead you astray, costing time and resources. This article uncovers the truth behind three common myths to help you make informed decisions about sewer line care. With a better grasp of reality, you’ll be better equipped to maintain optimal sewer system functionality. Let’s dive into the misconceptions surrounding sewer lines in Santa Rosa, CA, and reveal what you need to know.

1. Myth: Sewer System Rarely Need Maintenance

Many believe sewer pipes can sustain themselves with minimal care. This misconception can lead to serious plumbing issues over time. Regular inspections and cleanings can prevent clogs and other malfunctions. Partnering with a plumbing maintenance company in Fresno, CA, ensures your lines remain top-notch, reducing the risk of costly repairs.

2. Myth: Anything Can Be Flushed Down the Toilet

Flushing anything other than toilet paper can wreak havoc on your plumbing system. Items like wipes, sanitary products, and paper towels can cause blockages. Homeowners should remain vigilant and educate all household members on proper flushing habits. A professional in plumbing maintenance in Windsor, CA, can offer advice on maintaining a fully functional sewer system by preventing inappropriate disposals.

3. Myth: Sewer Line Damage Is Easily Detectable

Sewer line issues can go unnoticed until significant damage occurs. Many problems lie underground, presenting no visible signs above the surface. Tools like video inspections and leak detection are essential to identify issues early. Regular check-ups can help catch potential problems before they escalate, safeguarding your property and its inhabitants.

Professional advice calls for conducting regular maintenance with a reliable plumbing expert. Avoid these myths and adhere to best practices for upkeep to keep your sewer system trouble-free.

Are you experiencing sewer line issues? Call Curoso Plumbing at 707-545-5017 and let the expert team assist you in maintaining the integrity of your sewer system.

I was tagged by @thighzp and @tailsbeth-writes this week

Here is another snippet from my Christmas fic coming December 26 and which is progressing nicely.

Tags under the cut

As Henry gathers his things, Alex just can’t help himself. "So. You save animals, you write articles for the newspaper, and if my daughter is to be believed, you’re the ‘coolest dad ever.’ Is there anything you can't do?"

Henry pauses, a slight smirk playing on his lips. "Well, I'm rubbish at karaoke. And despite living here for years, I still can't wrap my head around Fahrenheit and inches. My brain stubbornly clings to Celsius and meters, I'm afraid.” Alex’s eyes narrow at Henry’s placid response. What would it take to crack that unflappable, oh-so-British goddam exterior? He opens his mouth to retort, but June returns from the restroom. "All set!" she announces cheerfully. To Alex's bewilderment and increasing irritation, Henry leans in and kisses June lightly on the cheek. Seriously, what’s with all the kissing with this guy? Is he fucking half-French or something? "Thanks again for your input, June. Enjoy your lunch, both of you," Henry says with a warm smile. Alex watches Henry go before turning back to June. “Are you really sure that guy’s not into you?”  June rolls her eyes. “Don’t be ridiculous. Let’s go, I’m starving.” Alex bites his tongue, realizing that pursuing this line of questioning will only sour his lunch with his sister. Besides, it's clear June doesn't see what he sees when it comes to Henry Fucking Fox. But maybe it’s time he and Mr Perfect have a conversation.

3 Instances When to Hire Emergency Drain Cleaning Services

Imagine waking up to a sink overflowing with water or a toilet that refuses to flush. Such plumbing nightmares can quickly turn a peaceful home into a chaotic mess. Plumbing issues often arise at the most inconvenient times, threatening to damage your property and disrupt your daily life. Attempting a DIY fix can worsen the situation without the right tools and expertise. This is why knowing when to get professional help is vital. Here are the key instances when to seek emergency drain cleaning in Santa Rosa CA

1. Persistent Clogs

A slow-draining sink or tub can be more than just a minor inconvenience—it could signal a deeper problem lurking in your pipes. While over-the-counter solutions may offer temporary relief, they often fail to address the root cause. Persistent clogs may require thorough cleaning using specialized equipment that only a professional can provide. Investing in expert help ensures the issue is resolved efficiently, preventing further drainage complications.

2. Unpleasant Odors

If your home is plagued by mysterious foul smells, your drains might be the culprit. These odors often indicate trapped food particles, grease, or even sewage. Ignoring this warning sign could pose health risks to your family and guests. Professionals bring the necessary expertise and tools to eliminate the source of these odors, safeguarding your home environment. Addressing this issue proactively can be more cost-effective than dealing with a possible health hazard later on.

3. Sudden Water Backups

Experiencing a sudden water backup during your morning shower or while doing the dishes can be frustrating. It may indicate a serious blockage somewhere in your plumbing system. Such occurrences can lead to water damage and unsanitary conditions if not treated immediately. Hiring experts can swiftly resolve these issues, preventing costly damages and restoring normal functionality to your home. The expense related to the plumbing installation cost in Sonoma CA, can escalate if such problems are ignored.

Regular maintenance and timely assistance from a local plumber service in Windsor CA, can mitigate emergencies and extend your plumbing system's lifespan. In cases when emergencies can't be avoided, knowing these key instances ensures quick and effective resolution.

It is crucial to recognize signs of serious plumbing issues and address them promptly with professional guidance. Don't wait for minor annoyances to become major problems—taking early action can save you time, money, and stress.

Are you facing urgent drainage issues? Let Curoso Plumbing handle them for you. Call 707-545-5017 for immediate assistance and ensure the safety of your home today.

[brf-rumortrackinganon]

Harry and Meghan travel all the time away from those kids. Those kids are not used to seeing their parents. Harry disappearing for weeks on end won’t bother them one bit.

Hey, if you don't mind, can you do a summary of all the times they left the children that we know of and how long?

I Know Harry had an Invictus event very soon after Archie's birth, and I saw someone mention a hunting trip to Germany, Meghan at the US open, polo at Archie's birthday, TQ's funeral, etc

Ask from July 25th

I believe the Germany hunting trip was in 2017. Supposedly that's when Meghan got all pissy about it and made Harry give up the antique guns Philip gave him. Also, the Archie's birthday/polo clash wasn't a travel event; the polo match was just down the highway from Montecito, so I'm not counting that one.

So this is only the travel that we know about. I'm sure there's plenty of other travel that we don't know about. This also does not include the date nights and overnights in L.A. Basically, for me to include it in this list, they had to have left the state of California.

May 2019: Harry travels to The Hague for Invictus Games. It's supposed to be a two-day trip but he shortens it to one day.

May 2019: Harry travels to Italy for Sentebale polo fundraiser. He's gone at least overnight.

July 2019: Harry travels to Italy for Google Camp to give a speech on the climate crisis. A couple of days.

September 2019: Meghan travels to NYC for the US Open. Not sure how long she's gone, probably just a couple of days.

September 2019: Harry travels to Amsterdam to launch Travalyst. It's jsut one or two days.

October 2019: Harry goes to Angola and Botswana, while Meghan stays in Johannesburg wtih Archie. One or two days.

November 2019: Harry travels to Japan for rugby. It's just a couple of days.

January 2020: Harry and Meghan travel to the UK for Sandringham Summit. Archie stays in Canada with friends. They're here for about a week. Meghan flees after the Megxit statement drops.* Harry attends Sandringham Summit alone but Meghan offers to call in.

*There's a rumor that Meghan didn't flee on her own, but that she was deported. According to this rumor, The Queen summoned Meghan to BP, Meghan ignored it and went to a private engagement instead (this one), The Queen was incandescent with rage, the RPOs tracked Meghan down, took her to the airport and physically put her on the plane back to Canada. There's a variation of that rumor (a spin-off, if one will) where instead of The Queen summoning Meghan for an audience, The Queen tasked Meghan with an engagement, Meghan refused to go, then The Queen ordered Meghan to leave and RPOs put her on a plane. Regardless of the variation, supposedly this deportation is what Harry is referring to with "they know what they did" when he's demanded apologies from the BRF.

March 2020: Harry and Meghan travel to the UK for Megxit farewell tour. Archie stays behind in Canada with "friends." They're gone about a week and flee back to Canada after the Commonwealth Service because of COVID concerns.

April 2021: Harry travels to the UK for Prince Philip's funeral. He's gone about a week (he has to quarantine for 5 days before the funeral due to COVID protocols). Meghan stays home in CA with Archie.

September 2021: Harry and Meghan travel to NYC for the Global Vax Live concert and make it a mini-fauxyal tour. This is a few days long.

November 2021: Harry and Meghan travel to NYC for a Veterans Day gala on the USS Intrepid.

March 2022: Harry travels to Texas. He's papped at Stockyards Rodeo. No idea how long his trip his, maybe a couple of days.

April 2022: Harry and Meghan travel to The Hague for Invictus Games. They have a layover in London and try to see The Queen at Windsor Castle. They're away for about 2 weeks , maybe a little less than that.

May 2022: Meghan travels to Texas to support the Uvalde community. It's maybe a two-day trip.

June 2022: Harry and Meghan travel to the UK for the Platinum Jubilee. While there are still photographs that suggest the kids were with them this time, there's plausible gossip from Britain that the kids actually weren't there because no one actually saw them. I'm including this one here to hedge bets.

July 2022: Harry and Meghan are in NYC again for Mandela Day. It's at least a 2-day trip.

August 2022: Harry travels to Africa to host US officials and conservationists for a few days in his role as President of African Parks.

September 2022: Harry and Meghan travel to the UK for a fauxyal tour. It's just supposed to be a few days, but they end up getting stuck in Britain for about 3 weeks when The Queen dies due to royal mourning and her funeral.

December 2022: Harry and Meghan travel to NYC for Meghan to receive the RFK Ripple of Hope award from Kerry Kennedy. It's a couple of days. There's scalding tea that the couple were downright frosty to each other when they weren't on camera.

May 2023: Harry travels to the UK for Charles's coronation. It's not even an overnight trip.

June 2023: Harry travels to the UK for a hearing in one of his lawsuits. It's a few days.

May 2023: Meghan, Harry, and Doria travel to NYC for Meghan to get an award. It's a couple of days. They get "chased" by paparazzi. It's a few days.

August 2023: Harry travels to Japan for a conference and to Singapore for a charity polo match. He's gone a few days.

September 2023: Harry and Meghan travel to Germany for the Dusseldorf 2023 Invictus Games. They're away for at least a week. Meghan comes late because she just had to get the kids milkshakes first. (Yeah, everyone WTFs it.)

October 2023: Harry and Meghan travel to the Caribbean to relax at a Soho House beach resort. I think they were there about a week.

October 2023: Harry goes to Texas to attend F1.

October 2023: Harry and Meghan travel to NYC for some kind of panel summit thing with Carson Daly. It's a couple of days.

January 2024: Harry and Meghan travel to Jamaica for the Bob Marley movie premiere. Meghan supposedly leaves CA while Harry is receiving his award from John Travolta and he flies out to meet her. (There are rumors that Meghan is spotted being very friendly with a man not her husband before Harry arrives.)

February 2024: Harry travels to the UK to see Charles after the public announcement of his cancer diagnosis. It's an overnight trip. He's gone from CA for about 3 days.

February 2024: Harry travels to Las Vegas for a thing, something that's part of the Superbowl celebrations. (I think he went straight from London to Vegas.)

February 2024: Harry and Meghan travel to Canada for a Vancouver Invictus Games kickoff thing. It's a 4 day event.

March 2024: Harry and Meghan travel to Texas. They go to Austin and San Antonio for charity visits. It's related to Meghan's panel appearance at South X Southwest.

April 2024: Harry and Meghan travel to Miami for a series of polo matches. Maybe it's a week?

May 2024: Harry travels to the UK to attend the service of thanksgiving for Invictus Games's 10th anniversary. It's an overnight trip. Meghan meets him at the airport after the service.

May 2024: Harry and Meghan travel to Nigeria for a fauxyal tour. I believe it was a 5-day trip.

August 2024: Harry and Meghan travel to Colombia for another fauyxal tour. It's another 4-5 day trip.

I'm sure I've forgotten some.

So this is 34 37 trips in 5 years without their children. Assuming:

An average of 4 days away per trip for 30 34 trips (understanding that some were longer, others were shorter so it should balance out)

12 days for The Hague Invictus Games (includes the Windsor drop-in)

10 days for Dusseldorf Invictus Games

21 days for September 2022

They were away about 163 179 days that we know of. Just for comparison's sake, the average American school year is 180 days. And remember, this does not include overnights in L.A./Beverly Hills, of which I suspect there's quite a lot of because it's at least a 90-minute drive (without traffic) to Montecito*. Not to mention that Harry has hotel rooms somewhere in California and he may or may not have a BetterUp corporate apartment up in San Francisco. I'm guessing if we were to guesstimate how often one or both of them is staying the night elsewhere in California, we'd probably see numbers double this.

*I'm also adding my own personal bias here; if I have to drive more than an hour at night, I'm getting a hotel room. Granted, the Sussexes do have drivers so they're not exactly in the same boat, but given all the rumors about Meghan having rooms at The Beverly Hills Hotel and Harry having a whole floor of a hotel permanently reserved, I think it's a pretty safe assumption that they do have a lot of overnights away from the kids in LA.

Now just for giggles, let's count how many times Harry and Meghan traveled with their kids:

Summer 2019 summer of private flights all over Europe despite Archie being too young to fly to Balmoral.

October 2019 - to South Africa

June 2022 - to London for the Platinum Jubilee

July 2022 - to Jackson Hole, Wyoming for July 4th (pap photos of Archie at a parade; no Lili)

December 2023 - to Costa Rica (blurry pap photos, plus a People PR article)

To be clear, I'm not begrudging the fact that the Sussexes travel for work. A lot of parents travel for work, and a lot of parents travel more than this per year for work. A lot of parents travel for 'me time'. Parents gotta do what parents gotta do to feed their kids and take care of themselves to take care of their kids.

What I'm instead commenting on (and snarking about) is how much Harry and Meghan have attacked the Cambridges/Waleses for spending time with their kids, how Harry attacked Charles for being unavailable during Harry's childhood, and how much PR Meghan has put out about how she's the best mom to ever mother and her whole life revolves around her kids; their actions aren't matching up to their words, which makes the stories they do share about the kids seem hollow and unreal.

Edit: Remembered some!

Barbara Villiers, Duchess of Cleveland (ca 1641-1709)

Artist: Sir Peter Lely (Dutch, 1618-80)

Date: c. 1663-1665

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Royal Collection Trust, United Kingdom

Description

This picture forms one of the ‘Windsor Beauties’ series, a set of eleven portraits of celebrated women at the Restoration court painted by Sir Peter Lely. The series was commissioned by Anne Hyde, Duchess of York, probably around 1662-5.

Pepys recorded on 21 August 1668 that he ‘did first see the Duke of York’s room of pictures of some Maids of Honour, done by Lilly: Good, but not like.’ By describing the pictures as ‘not like’ Pepys is alluding to the often noted opinion that Lely flattered his subjects, and gave each portrait a similar languorous and ‘sleepy eyed’ air, said to have been influenced by the features of the noted court beauty Barbara Villiers, Duchess of Cleveland. Contrary to Pepys’s assertion, only one of the sitters, Frances Teresa Stuart, actually held the position of Maid of Honour in the Royal Household. Some of the others were noted courtesans, while others were respected members of the nobility.

Barbara Villiers was Charles II’s principal mistress between 1660 and 1670 and the most powerful woman at court until she was supplanted by Louise de Kéroualle.
