”Joe” quothe:But, what are Boyd’s problems, other than the fact that he should have quit working at MetroMart a long time ago?
Well, there’s Lila’s replacement of course … and as I recall his family lives nearby & isn’t very supportive of his lifestyle … and too he’s probably pretty much run thru the local options in terms of finding a partner …
Exactly where do they live? If it’s in a big city, Boyd’s options are far from over.
The reason for the old saying, of course, is that running away from things isn’t the same as dealing with them, and often they’ll still be there when you get to your new place. On the other hand, if my problem is someone with a weapon, I’m running away!
It would be a major upgrade if this strip were to move to Tulsa. they could even introduce a new character: an old guy who lives next door and keeps knocking on Lila’s door to tell her stories of his life, in detail….in great, yawning , never ending, detail…on and on and….
eventually, Lila would be hiding behind her door ignoring the persistent knock….
.”LILA! I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE!!”
Too funny, nighthawks. We have those people here, too. And yes, there’s nothing like the cold winter breezes off Lake Erie. Who needs California when you have Thinsulate!
Hi Joe, how would I even know you live in Tulsa OR that you’re one of “those people”? If you are, then I must admit that I probably wouldn’t like you that much because “those people” tend to be caught up in themselves and oblivious to others, their time, and their personal space. I’m sure that’s not the case with you. And thanks for reading, Lila. I do appreciate it!

They wouldn’t be running away from anything; just starting fresh somewhere else.
*cdward said, about 2 hours ago Exactly where do they live?*
They live in Cleveland, Ohio (had to say Ohio because there is a Cleveland here in Georgia. Messed me up for a long time after I moved here!)

If a jackass like me gets on the train in Boston, a jackass like me gets off in Miami. Geographic cures don’t work.

Geographic cures don’t work & better the Devil you know…, but some people do have to learn the hard way ….

Actually, geographic moves can work pretty well. I moved away from my hometown when I was 19.
Best thing I ever did- new friends, new places, and in a very real way, a chance to reinvent myself a bit. Be more of who I really wanted to be.
Hard to do that in a place where everyone knows you, and everything you have done or not done since first grade!

Flee the Rock Hall of Fame? Just a Spit from Cedar Point? Great German Community beer, Amish eggs and carpentry? Why, Cleveland Rocks.
Just ask Drew Carey at his home in…California?
So maybe the move thing has merit.

…and there’s nothing like standing on the shores of Lake Erie in january, watching the ice floes and enjoying the winter breezes

I think we’re just setting up for a few weeks of “Lila and Boyd in LA” plotline …

A complete change of location, friends, jobs, etc. can help both of them see their former life more clearly………………….!

Preparing to move is a good way to clear out some deadwood even if you stay. This solves some problems & makes it easier to jump & run if necessary.

no he definitely is not one of “those people” - everyone knows that
who would have known that he lived in tulsa though - what a coincidence
