525 – Nothing we can do
Jan30
Hey Readers,
Sometimes you just need someone to confide in . Sometimes there is nothing we can do.
This week’s ask the cast from Gibson asked about one of the casts new years resolutions, Looks like Alexia jumped on her answer… Possibly figuratively as well 😛
Till next week,

Wow I thanks Gibson i forgot all about that couple as well? and that Jim that is harsh news indeed as well?
I always kind of figured Jim and Jo had a connection far deeper then physical or sexual attraction. All their flings and Jim’s ability to flirt with any woman showed that. There seems to be something healthier about that too. They are open in their expectations so there is no jealousy because their connection is deeper. The older I get the more that makes sense rather then a couple having a codependent sexual monogamous relationship.
All due respect to Jim and his clear distress: Why does he think he CAN’T marry Jo without her dad’s blessing? Does he think she won’t accept if he won’t sign off? Because, real talk, that would be problematic AF if true.
Honestly, what he just told Crypt is what he needs to tell Doctor Rogers! Stand up for what he knows is best for Jo and for himself.
I believe Dr. Rodgers is being a royal fool here. He should be intelligent enough to understand that he has a limited ability to influence his daughter’s choice for a husband, and that Jim is the most likely candidate at this time. This would have been a great time to talk with Jim and explain his thoughts on what a marriage is, and the concerns he has about Jim. Instead of shutting down the conversation with a flat “no”, he could have opened up a diolague that could have led to a deeper understanding between these two males.
An interesting reply to Jim’s request would have been, “Why do you want my permission?”
It is deeply touching how she covers him with her wing.
The final panel… 😳🥰😻
Reading some of the comments telling Jim what he should do, I disagree. He’s doing precisely what he needs to do; he’s taking a moment. He’s evaluating, organizing, preparing rather than going off half cocked like the immature, juvenile smeghead his father-in–law to be believes him to be.
Did I mention the final panel? The empathy. The sympathy. The compassion. {le sigh}
Has it really been two years? My but time is flying!
