i am so mad, i managed to get my soccer ball taken away from me today. 

[shepevansfm]

How'd ya manage to do that? Did you break a window? Or worse, a nose?

[morgan-weston]

There ain't nothing better than to be on a quiet lake during the early morning, watching the sun rise above the hills, and the deer come out between the trees after having woken up, and then spend the rest of the day, fishing. You can try to argue with me, but you'll be wrong. It's also just a great place to be alone.

[shepevansfm]

Can this dream day involve a big camp fire and s'mores?

You okay? Needin' to be alone can be a good thing or a bad thing.

[artfuljanuary]

Hello!!! I had to have my sons show me how to set up an account, but I'm here!!

My name is January Rhodes, but you might know me as JT or "dungaree cookie duuuuuude" if you're one of the many many stoned patrons that have come through the doors of Rocky Rhodes over the last year. I'm a fine art and photography freshman, and yes I am 42, life conspired against me for a little while there but I got two beautiful boys out of it so it can't have been all that bad.

Speaking of my wonderful little bakery, I'm looking for some more part time help to keep the place up and running now that I'll be in classes during the week, so if anybody wants or needs a little part time work either come into the bakery or send me a message here! And if you see me out and about, probably with my camera, please come and say hi!!

[shepevansfm]

One of those stoned peeps might have been me but I've been sworn to secrecy. Your cookies are the best. Who cares how old you are? It's never too late to study something you're passionate about that's what's kinda cool about Priv we've got so many different ages of people and it makes it more fun.

What days are you looking for? I was thinking of finding a side gig just to do something during the day after classes. Oh and I'm Shep by the way. Senior studying Broadcast Journalism.

[privdylan]

i swear, i’m like those people in the math equations. river accidentally ordered 10 sets of airpods ...wait, i don’t know how the rest goes. basically, i accidentally ordered 10 sets of airpods.

[shepevansfm]

I've never been good at math but scoring 10 sets of airpods is pretty sick. Did you pay for 10 sets of airpods? Or did they just send you 10, lol.

[dallasjweston]

No worries! Now if they did have a class all about candles I would absolutely enroll! Especially if we got to make our own I mean, they don't, but that's honestly all that's important! Besides, I have heard of frozen hot chocolates before, so I think it works. I do like pumpkin spice, but I'm more of a pumpkin pie gal. I know it doesn't sound much different, but I think the later is a little less spicy. I also enjoy anything apple. The drinks though are great! Pumpkin spice Oreos... not so much.

Thanks, and I am! It does, but I really enjoy it, so it's absolutely worth it to me. Well shucks, thanks! I'd like to think so anyway. Oh I gotcha! Not necessarily. I mean, a family might be bikers, but also bad or rude people. That's not cool. So I think you're still ahead. That's awesome! Did you ever play either or both? Honestly not too much; I just find it interesting and thought it might benefit my career and life overall. I wanna continue doing my stunt thing for as long as I can. Okay, I'll keep your secret too then!

[shepevansfm]

Wouldn't be surprised if that's on the list this year, Priv is always coming up with new courses to take. I'm pretty sure there's a place around here that you can make your own candles a kid in class was talking about it. Are frozen hot chocolates just chocolate milkshakes? Oh pumpkin pie is bomb, good choice. Apple is also my go-to though! Apple orchards, apple cider, apple pie.

I gotta ask though how many bruises do you got? You've gotta have so many from being tossed around. Alright yeah that's fair enough but they look cool even if they are assholes. Still as long as I'm ahead I'll count it. Yeah I did play both actually, got injured my sophomore year and had to stop playing but I was pretty good at both. I mean I get that, I can see how it would mix with your life and career too.

[sadieabrams]

Yeah! I mean, not everyone does that — there's a lot of premade content and plots already written out there, but I've always built my own worlds. And now I think it would be a legal nightmare if I didn't build my own worlds, but... it's still fun. You should! Even if it's just a little bit here and there, I always think it's good to make time for something you love.

That's really cool! It's amazing that you're able to pursue something you're passionate about. I'm sure that'll be a lot of fun. Do you have a favorite sport?

[shepevansfm]

But it's probably nice to have the premade ones if you have a slump or are short on time. Now you got me curious, why would it be a legal nightmare? -- Say, you got any room for a super big newbie? Kinda seems like I could have fun if I got someone like you explaining stuff to me. I agree though, gotta make time for it no matter what.

Well thanks! Yeah I've always been a football and basketball guy, played both of those until my injury so I'd love to focus on one of those.

Charlie rolled his eyes a little as they walked into the animal shelter, already significantly less anxious about the whole "being responsible for keeping another living being alive" thing. He could hear a cacophony of barking as they approached the front desk, still unable to quite believe that one of the dogs he could hear would be going home with him today.

"Okay, never call me Daddy and talk about something licking me in the same sentence again." Charlie could feel himself going red as he gave Shep a friendly shove, "Don't make this weird, dude."

[shepevansfm]

"Boo!" He voiced in return with his thumb facing down, mocking the man's response. "It's more fun my way." Shep nodded to the woman helping them at the front desk before leading the way to the first set of dogs in a wing of the building. "Alright from what that woman said, these are the bigger dogs like Labradors and German Shepherds."

[zachwilde]

I mean, there's probably a picture or two of me there or something. But not often enough to it consider me 'posting'. So, not too much of a shame. Maybe? Fruity Pebbles is also an excellent choice. Honestly, I'm just really into any type of fruity cereal. Especially if it's several different flavors.

Hey, thanks! Just remember to put yourself first, man. The triggers are listed before every episode, so if you think it's gonna be too much for you, you can skip it. The website has a condensed version of what you've missed if you happen to not be able to handle an episode.

[shepevansfm]

Well I did just give you a follow so here's hoping you'll post again. Yes! Totally agree with you. I like fruit cereal more than chocolate or sweeter cereals.

I gotchu yeah, thanks for the heads up. You've kinda thought of everything which is sick and much appreciated.

[reaganroll-archive]

Charlie didn't know why he was nervous right now. It was just a dog, a dog that he would solely be responsible for and had to keep alive, that was going to depend on him and- woahhhh Schuester, take a breath...

He shook his head a little as he took a deep breath, smirking just a little at the ridiculousness of his spiral. He always did this, always overthought everything, always drove himself insane when he didn't need to. Thank god Shep was going to be here honestly, he always had this way of keeping him grounded when Charlie got himself worked up over nothing.

Charlie turned his head as he heard his name be called, grinning back at Shep as his arm settled around his shoulders. Normally, Charlie would pull away from someone being so affectionate with him, but with Shep it was different for some reason.

"You're such a dork dude..." Charlie laughed softly, "Look, I'm not saying I'm gonna get a dog today, but if there's a cute little fucker in there that looks at me with big enough eyes, I'm gonna fold like a cheap suit. Why do you think we're still friends?"

[shepevansfm]

"DUH." Shep laughed, "But I'm your dork bro," he patted the other's chest before removing his arms from the other. Making their way into the shelter they could hear the sounds of the all the different animals making noise from their cages. Shep needed to be careful or he was going to want to walk out of there with all of them when he very much didn't need any of them.

"Ha ha. Very funny." Sure, he could flash his the cutest of puppy dog eyes if he needed Charlie's help or with anything but today, well it wasn't going to be him flashing the eyes. "Oh please we both know you're going to fold the first instant one of these dogs licks you like you're the Daddy they've been waiting for."

[sadieabrams]

There are different kinds of maps, like maps that help people visualize battles or certain puzzles, but I'm making a world map. They're helpful for longer campaigns so the players are more aware of the world they're in and how long places might take to travel to, and it's good for me so I don't have to make that stuff up off the top of my head in the moment and maybe accidentally contradict myself. That sounds like a fun way to unwind, though, having a game you can pop on when you need to relax. It... doesn't, but someday I'll figure it out.

That sounds like fun. What got you into broadcast journalism?

[shepevansfm]

So basically just create the whole game yourself, like the things and places in game and every one else just plays in that world? That's actually pretty sick, I had no idea there was so much thought and effort put into D&D like that. For sure, it's kinda nice, talking to you kinda makes me want to get back into gaming more. Yeah well...who needs sleep anyway? You'll sleep when you're dead.

I've always loved sports, played a lot of them my whole life. And kinda just thought it would be a good way to stay around sports and use my knowledge of the games.

[dallasjweston]

Nah, I don't think there's any right way to do candles-- it should be to your heart's desire. Summer doesn't scream hot chocolate to me, but you do you! Besides, I know I saw a hot fudge sundae candle come out last summer, and is that really much different? Now I really can't wait for it to cool off so I can have a hot drink, even if I do love my cold brews.

He is pretty cool, but shhh - don't tell him I said it! I don't own one to ride all of the time, but I have trained and done some stunt driving with one for a movie before. It was pretty awesome! So you and your family are bikers? That's so badass. Thanks, but you might take the cake! It's nice to meet you, Shep. That's cool; do you know what you wanna do with that yet? I'm also a senior but studying nutrition. Ah, okay, duly noted. So I shouldn't tell them you said that?

[shepevansfm]

Okay good, see, I thought I had missed a class or something like that. I don't think hot chocolate and summer necessarily match but I like the smell of the candle so that's really all I have going for me. Huh I guess that candle isn't really much different, chocolate is chocolate. Are you one of those pumpkin spice girls?

Your secret is safe with me, promise. Oh sick so you're in stunt work? That takes a lot of work good for you. Hardest working peeps in the business from what I've heard. Nah, I wish we were bikers. I just mean in general I think my family is the coolest but anyone that's got motorcycles in their family line probably out ranks us. I want to do side line reporting for football or basketball. Commentary and all that. Nutrition? Right on, have plans for that? - Mmmm maybe don't tell them I said that, that's probably disagree.

[morgan-weston]

Yeah, that windswept blond hair and the farmer's tan look is really working for you.

Appaloosas are gorgeous. What kind of spotting pattern did it have? I've got two, a blanket with spots called Tansy and a leopard Buckeye. Are ya interested in meeting them?

[shepevansfm]

Bro I'm blushing.

Right? One good thing my father actually did was get that horse. Mine's a leopard too, gorgeous and miss him every day. I'd love to meet yours that'd be awesome.

Closed Starter for @charliecharliethatssognarly

Location: second chance animal rescue

Pulling up to the animal shelter, Shep knew he was going to have to tough it out if it meant he wasn't going to adopt a pet today. He didn't need that, but Charlie, well he did. And that's what today was all about - getting the perfect pet for his best friend...for when he wasn't around. "Charlie!" He called out when he saw the other get out of his car. Putting his arm around his shoulder he pulled him in. "You ready to find the best damn dog we can?" Shep asked with a bright grin.

[mateoreyesss]

i cant believe im still out here singing THE BOYS A LIERRRRRRRRRRRR after all this time but damn that songs a banger!!!!!!!! just makes me wanna shake my lil tush, ja feel? thats just how your boy mateo rolls tho

[shepevansfm]

You're so right dude, that song bangs! Can I join in the tush shaking?

[morgan-weston]

Would there be anythin' wrong with that though? I would tell ya for days after that this super hot guy found me attractive.

What kinda horse did ya have?

[shepevansfm]

Nah I guess not. Wait- you think I'm hot?

An Appaloosa named Domino.

[blckbarbree]

You say that like it's a bad thing. I bet you were a very cute child but I can just keep it for myself. I have never been a fan of sharing anyway. That sounded like a line but I know you just mean because they put butter on toast and pancakes are various other high carb items.

[shepevansfm]

Alright look I'll share with you one picture so you can have it but you gotta promise to keep it to yourself like you said. [HERE] Yeah that's what I meant. I'm gonna get you some pancakes and real butter, I treat my lady right.
