All Activity

I have to think about all those people going through the same to day! And the ones who had hit by the worst! I have been to the place several times. It gets to you!

One of your chapters that leave me speechless! When I read it last night, I haven't been able to leave a comment. Too much conflicted emotions. So many unspoken words that tells everything. You leave us reading between the lines... First, I've been angry of King for endangering Bishop's life. Then, I've been furious of Bishop for running away and ghosting King. Yes, king is very difficult to handle occasionally, but Bishop was intelligent enough to know it better... You don't play with fire and leave it in the forest without expecting wildfire to burst out...or flame to burn down! And just when I thought that I'll write down comment to express all my anger toward Bishop - Rook did it for me! Maybe harsh, maybe cruel...but it had to be said. Still, your characters are so complex. While still angry of Bishop, I think - can we blame him for wanting to have his own life, his own dreams, his own path... I don't know - did he choose wise or safe?! Considering his illness and loosing of support (Bishop), King's suicide is not surprise. The words he says are so strong: "I'd choose death...a hundred times...if that meant your happiness." He said them to release Bishop, but they sound so accusatory! This guilt is a heavy burden Bishop has to live with. On the other hand, these words make King's suicide act of ultimate love and sacrifice, instead of act of lunacy. It's a samurai way of dying! Finally, Patrick is back with a horse. He might not be King - but he is not Pawn either anymore! Who is he now? So, what's next? Oh, they'll f*ck I'm sure. They'll f*ck senseless, twosomes, foursomes... Maybe even Bishop loses his charry because, well, just to repeat what has already been said - Patrick is not a King! 😉 The question arises - what will the future bring? Is there a future for them? After so much pain, I certainly hope so...

For a Green lynx spider, it doesn't look very green to me.

It looks as if it has a jewel on its back. Very interesting.

Anthony must know that sometimes it is also necessary to protect one's family from one's own family

For some reason, I clicked on link and came first to comments. I thought @chris191070 was exaggerating in his praise but as I kept scrolling up and up and up, I realized that Chris was spot on. This is sharing data in such a useful way. It’s great to see how newer authors here are creeping up the lists to “challenge” the ever present authors from many years ago. On that note, a special mention to @Robert Hugill, and to @chris191070 himself who gets a number of mentions! Many thanks @Myr for an entertaining and very worthwhile exercise. Well done!

Also known as Leonardo of Pisa, he is popularly known as Leonardo Fibonacci. Fibonacci is a contraction of filo Bonacci, meaning the son of Bonaccio. Date Sequence November 23 is celebrated as Fibonacci day because when the date is written in the mm/dd format (11/23), the digits in the date form a Fibonacci sequence: 1,1,2,3. A Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where a number is the sum of the two numbers before it. For example: 1, 1, 2, 3...is a Fibonacci sequence. Here, 2 is the sum of the two numbers before it (1+1). Similarly, 3 is the sum of the two numbers before it (1+2). The Rabbit Question The Fibonacci sequence, one of the biggest accomplishments of Leonardo of Pisa came from a simple puzzle about rabbit population. In his book Liber acaci, Fibonacci posed this puzzle: if there are a pair of newly born rabbit - male and female - in the field and if they are able to produce another pair of rabbits in their second month of life, how many pairs of rabbits will be there after a year? Born in 1170 in Pisa, Italy, Fibonacci was also responsible for making the Hindu-Arabic numerals popular in Europe. In Liber acaci he advocated the use of these numerals, explained the use of zero, provided ways to convert between currencies and different measurements, and described how to calculate interest. Fibonacci in Nature One of the beauties of the Fibonacci sequence is that the series is evident all over the natural world. Petal arrangements in flowers, the ordering of leaves in plants, the shell of the nautilus, the DNA molecule and even hurricanes show patterns that correspond to the sequence. How to Celebrate? Start the day by learning more about the Fibonacci sequence and its theoretical and practical uses. A number of fruits and vegetables, like pineapples, romanesco (a cross between broccoli and cauliflower) display the Fibonacci series - incorporate them in your meals to celebrate this mathematical holiday. Have children in your life? Introduce them to the elegance of math and the importance of learning it to use in real life. Did You Know… …that the ratio of two successive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence is very close to the Golden Ratio? The Golden Ratio is approximately equal to 1.6. Objects whose length and breadth exhibit the Golden Ratio are thought to be the most pleasing to the eye. *** Boss: Do you believe in life after death? Employee: No, because there is no proof of it. Boss: Well there is now ! Employee: How? Boss: When you left yesterday saying that you have to go to your uncle's funeral, your uncle came here looking for you after you left. *** Bob goes to see his friend Pete. He finds Pete in his barn dancing naked around his John Deere. "What are you doing!" asks Bob. Pete stops dancing & says, "My wife has been ignoring me lately so I talked to my psychiatrist and he said I needed to do some thing sexy to a tractor."

The next day little Johnny comes home and hears the word "sh*t" and asks his dad what it means. His dad answers, "It means food on the table." At school, he hears the word "f*cking" and asks his mom what it means. She responds, "It means getting ready." The next day a priest came over for dinner and little Johnny opened the door and says, "Hey son of a b*tch. There's sh*t on the table and my parents are upstairs f*cking!" *** The black lacquer stand

before but with this appended to 
his note: “Nice swords.” *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** sandrewn

And I guarantee that The Prick told each one of the kids the same thing. Poor Davy. The Prick is already training (and sexually molesting) his son. I believe David suspected this. That may be why he didn't appear to be upset. I wonder if @Mark Arbour is going to let us know?

The first three cars have crested the chain hill and are on the down side, when the last two cars crest and the whole train is released, throw up your hands and start screaming. The ride is ready to really start.

Sacred Heart BWP update 2024. They just won the Nor Cal Division 1 Championship. Sacred Heart Prep, a double whammy.... water polo AND a Catholic school. Odds are at least two of them likes dick. 🙂 🙂

So, this agricultural area lives by their own rules to some extent. That would make sense on several levels, and since food and what is useful is being produced, how much can the Federal and State governments really do without upsetting the apple cart. I like Frank. Still not sure what the deal is with Tom though. And now we know why Ms. Alice will never take Dante to her bed.

Fabien is that much cute and fuckable. Easy. These guys are not yet that decrepit that they should try to avoid burdening themselves with sexual acts

Bella is the Jackie Diamond of the fashion world. I still like JJ. He isn't quite the sweet kid he was before skating (and molestation), but he is still a good kid here and I'll stop before I get into spoilers.

Oh oh. best wishes, get well soon. I did not know the covid yet circulates. None of my acquaintances has got it for ages now.

Robbie is so much more fragile than Brad. Support systems are vital, especially for a damaged individual seeking (sometimes in ill considered ways) to “fix” themselves. If Brad truly understood Robbie he would strive to fulfill his partner’s deepest needs (no pun intended) as he did with embracing Robbie’s need to be fisted!

Well, looks like Luke got more than a few shocks and all in one day. I think he should have told Matt, and hoped he didn't lose it to badly. Tony will have a story to tell, and let's hope the guys can help. Well done...

Well done @empath, #2 on the 'Most Read Mystery' genre for the past month, further validation of your writing skills and the enjoyment they provide, free-of-charge I might add, to those of us privileged to read this story.

Do these angels ever kick arse @centexhairysub? If so, there is Jackie so kick her arse (amongst other things).

Let's hope the article and the written statement help but wouldn't count on it. All those that did not get something will now want something of their own. LOL Hope that Ludo and Arthur and the boys hold tight to each other and ride this out. Gordy was a nice diversion, but I am still holding out for our Detective friend. I think they will have help from unexpected corners, angels are among us. Great chapter.

Congratulations on another Top 5 placing in the 'Mystery' genre for this one @Robert Hugill, proving once again that current male "stars" in England are not limited to Harry Styles and Ed Sheeran. You could show those laddies a thing or too, well maybe not the former, but certainly the latter.

Butterflies and memories are both favorites that flutter in the mind of this senior gardener. I enjoyed the pairing of them, well done!

Vaughan, Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you are enjoying the story. I seem to be having trouble putting enough time into keeping it moving. Sorry it's going slowly. I hope to get a chapter ready to post tomorrow. Calvin and Alan are developing organically, so I'm not sure where the story will go. They seem to have taken on their own personas so they change and grow as they react to the situations that happen. There'll certainly be more sex and fun as well as some other kinds of interactions and experiences for each of them. I think Alan is a lot deeper than readers have yet seen. Maybe he's a closet kisser and maybe not. We'll find out! Ken

What a powerful chapter! Bishop has had to take a journey through memories to remember who he is. Pawn was the catalyst and perhaps will be the thing he needs to be himself once again.
