@raven1 Hey, Terry!  How are you and Aod?

Hi Page!  Both of us are doing well.  We went out Friday, but the rest of the weekend was spent quietly going to lunch and coffee.  In the evenings spending time at home.  The pollution is low even though the rainy season hasn't hit yet.  It's expected to start later this week.  The temps are hovering around 40 C during the day.  My aircon bill will be outrageous this month.  With rains coming this week the temp should drop to the low 30 C.

How are you, Morgan and Max?

Terry, Drew was very specifically going after my BL boys, and those are really the only ones I actually keep track of.   He knew what he was doing.  

Like I told Drew.  He has to play nice when it comes to your BL boys and that includes not herd taxes.  Although it does sound like he has already changed his mind about that.

Very impressive Gary!  Congratulations!  As a reader I am more impressed with the word count.

We're doing good, thanks. I got my work schedule about an hour ago. It looks like my boss brought back some of the "veteran" kitchen help for the summer, since things have started getting busier around the restaurant. On the other hand, it looks like the "salty kid" will no longer be with us. I'd heard him say something about a new job, but hadn't heard any specifics. I wish him the best of luck, though I'll miss having him around. I know Max looked up to him, as well, when he occasionally joins me at work.

Yeah but it was like pulling teeth.

Since it is show and tell day for how we all got here, here is my tale. 

Like Spike, the internet and I go way back.  I first started using a computer in 1985, the internet in 1995 and reading gay stories in 2003.  I also roamed from gay story site to site. Places like Nifty, Cracker's Den, Jeff's Fort and the Padded Room.  I soon found GA and joined in March, 2009, but only visited occassionally and never commented.  In fact, I forgot I had joined. 

I started reading Michael Arram's and Geron Kee's stories stories on IOMFATS.  I started corresponding with Geron by email several years ago, and he made a suggestion to try GA.  I did and started to follow him.  I also checked out author's he followed and discovered Gary's stories. 

Now I read about 90% of the time on GA.  At first I didn't comment much, but Gary was great about responding, and he made a comment that reader's comments were a way to show appreciation for the writing.  So, like Albert, I now comment and review about 97% of what I read.  The missing percent is when I feel something was so badly written, I couldn't say anything good.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it! ❤️

My home still has a moth problem.

And before y'all start; I'm fine, the moths have done nothing to me.

Terry, you didn't even mention anything about taxes last week! It seems you're just talking out of your ass!

Let's look at specifically what you said: namely that I couldn't target their health and wellbeing with threats. How is a herd tax on Spikey, a threat to their health and wellbeing?

This is why @raven1 should recuse himself, I don't trust his judgement.

Sorry to say Spike I can only veto a tax on the Asian portion of your herd. 

You're jurisdiction, as you've said repeatedly, is Southeast Asia.

I've given Spikey a few kpop idols, and I can take them away whenever I want, because South Korea isn't in Southeast Asia!

God-and-Emperor to combat tax havens. In a statement, he said, "An American expat is trying to turn Thailand into a tax haven for imperial citizens, and as God-and-Emperor, I will not stand for that!" The God-and-Emperor went on to say that he'll pass tougher laws to punish any imperial citizen who evades their taxes, and will respond with appropriate force against any tax haven.

The Philippines are part of SE Asia and are subject to the same conditions as Thais.

I gave you guys permission to add Thai's to your herds not hostages!  No nuking anywhere in SE Asia, or I will rescind permission and recall the guys! 👹 

On 4/29/2023 at 9:55 AM, raven1 said:

Just remember, You and Spike both need my permission for any new additions to your herds if they are from SE Asia.  No sneaking around my back!!!!!

Technically, Russia is a part of Asia. And seeing as Korea is Southeast of Russia, that makes it a part of the SE Asian sphere.

According to Wikipedia, South Korea is not part of SE Asia! You dingus!

Some say Russia is in Europe  maybe it'd be best to just leave it alone in their own little corner

Careful Clo, or @Page Scrawler will argue that South Korea is part of the Balkans or some other nonsense.
