Yes, he does and he did. Your John has many unusual quirks...and I love him, even if he chews coffee grinds. I'm glad that Margaret found that she loves him, too. :love

Oh now I'm dying to know what other unusual quirks he's got 😅🤣🤣
Right off the bat: Tossing his keys and wallet in his hat. 😁 Always loved that one.
Yay, thanks, Tom!
He is very methodical in how he dispenses of his stuff....and his gun.
His candy canes.
Hating the clock.
A select few who know his phone number.
Taking his cap off, running his hands through it hair, and putting back on.
Knowing when Margaret "lies".
Even his worldview...

I'll have to keep thinking about stuff...there is more.

You're sweet to list them. I promise each quirk has a story or a reason for being there. I suppose I never thought of them as quirks. But now you mention it...they absolutely are

Fossy, I think John read that list around the time of the strike and when he got to "Don't Dally About Proposing," that really struck a chord and he immediately got it in his head that a proposal of marriage was the only rational response to the riot!

Don't marry a dude...now I'm dying to know what they meant by "dudes" back in the day!

This from the dictionary:

1. An Easterner or city person who vacations on a ranch in the West.
2. A man who is very fancy or sharp in dress and demeanor.

I'm set up to listen to EGH's Mr. Thornton and Mr. Darcy next week Wednesday. Is anyone else doing it?

But darn it if my kids don't have an online course (Socratic dialogue on the Narnia books) that same afternoon if not a bit later but still overlapping! I usually use my son's laptop for online things. So, I might have to tag team or try to use a standing computer or something or listen to it later.

Ugh. That's how life works.

I just realised that a year ago today was the day I started writing FtA, which was my first ever N&S fanfic. Never thought I would get this much into it then, lol

Since then I have written a total of 341,427 words. That's approx 935 words a day...every day. Seems I don't have much of a life, LOL

You have a North and South life we all get to share, Tom. You have a life! AND a community.

What a story you created as well. Happy anniversary of starting to write fanfic.
