According to what I've read, one way to fix a leaky blender is to replace the gasket, a rubber ring that lives below the jar. Sure enough, when I look at the gasket, it's worn out and broken. Mystery solved, right?
So I asked Ninja if I could buy a replacement rubber gasket for the blender. Not get a free one, purchase one. And they refuse to sell one to me. They won't say why! And I'm not sure if anyone makes a gasket that'll fix the blender precisely. So I'd love to put a kid detective on the Case of the Missing Gasket.
I liked clicking on all the different prompts, interesting change in format from the past stories. Poor kid, already burnt out at a young age. In my experience the key to dealing with burn out is to take a break and remember why the thing you do was fun in the first place.
My little mystery is that somebody has been linking to my posts on facebook and I can't find out who. Learned advanced googling tricks to search for it, but the linker must be keeping it private since it still isn't appearing. Maybe a dedicated internet detective could find out, but I've gone as far I'll go with this.
Well, I suppose it was the most “realistic” ending. That convoluted mess had to be a kid’s imagination. (Or a bunch of big kid’s imaginations.) 🤣 It’s fun to pretend. 🤓
The first time I read this chapter, like Thomas Bubb, I couldn't get past the whole Encyclopedia Brown feel. But while re-reading, I realized I had missed all of the linked snippets that added so much character to the ending. It really is the icing on the cake of "The Grisly Ghosts of Gruesome Time!" Well done!
Last stop, the kid dimension where all this madness gets dreamed up and doesn't have to make complete sense since, well... you're a kid! Lovely chapter, Geoffrey. I'm sure as long as this innocent Joey is safe, the others will remain fine... right? 😅
This was so much fun! I still have to catch up with a few of the story chapters, but I love the ending :-) Ah, those days of make-believe... And those kids have some amazing imaginations!
My low-stakes mystery is probably what the hell is eating my strawberries? I built these elaborate fruit cages to keep critters away from my plants, and as soon as anything ripens, some little furry jerk still manages to creep in there and get all my raspberries and strawberries!
Very entertaining, Geoffrey! I do find myself torn though, but I’ll stitch it up and get over it. I love the way you incorporated your adventure snack theme and the way it made my reminisce about Encyclopedia Brown!
However, this also means I don’t get the big finish it felt like Meagan was setting up.
Oh well it was an entertaining read and I’m so glad I got to be a part of this whole process! Last note: thanks for the shout-out back to my chapter! I laughed out loud when I read that piece.

Great fun, Geoffrey. Not sure if we saved the universe but maybe at least one of them. So long and thanks for the finish. 🎉
