One track mind 

@Headstall was the one who said he wanted to nibble on Nicky, yet you're not telling him he has a one track mind!

Hi. Good morning. Bye. 

P.S.  See you after catching up.

By all means.  Hi, Terry. Sorry I missed you yesterday.  Long day at work.

Thanks, Albert, but no one needs to read my stuff if they don't want to.

And you, my Canadian studd , don't listen to what's-his-name . He's just jealous  that I don't have to read your work to think the world of you .

Gary has written 34 stories you have read 3 I rest my case loser

Ugh! It's like talking to a jellyfish.  Those are the titles I remember the most. COTT, Gary's flagship, for obvious reasons; S&D, for being COTT's spin-off; and TW, because I left a review that rendered Gary speechless (although he managed to say "Wow!" ). I'll check what other stories I've read, and get back to you... major loser.

Hi Nick!  Don't worry! This old retired man (as Clo commented) has been working long hours also.  I am having a blast working with Man getting his novel ready to be published on the 17th of this month.  I haven't found time to read and comment as I usually do, my friend.  I'll probably go through today's D/S Drama and then go to bed.

Hi Everyone!  I wish I could spend more time with you all.  Man just posted on The Boot site that What Happened to the Baxter Boys will start posting on the 17th.  I'm having a great time helping him get ready, but it is hard work for both of us, especially Man.  I have a much greater appreciation of the work Gary does to get his stories published here. 

I do hope all of you are well and happy.  I'll check in again tomorrow.

Oh! I am concerned about Dugh.  I sent a PM almost at the same time Gary sent his comment to Dugh.  Has anyone heard how he is doing?

Love the sarcasm!

So I’m totally embarrassed about something.  Back when my last review posted, I think after some discussion here, I noticed the “reviews written” number didn’t actually reflect any of the reviews I’d submitted since 2017. That’s been quite a few over the years. I actually can’t even locate all the reviews I’ve written due to reformatting on the site since the early days.

So I asked a half-serious question, in the group message board about there being a way to have any of those reviews count toward our profiles.  I wasn’t really that concerned, just curious.  I completely forgot about the entire conversation, but wildone ran with it and got with Myr.  There was no way to do exactly what I asked for, cause coding, but they decided to create a site badge for members of the review team.

Like I said, I totally forgot this, but the awesome site admins didn’t.  Like I said, I’m a little embarrassed, I didn’t intend to create extra work for anyone,  but the site admins decided to go the extra mile based on an off-hand comment I made.

As Terry said we are both working hard and having a blast getting everything ready for posting the first chapter. I hope you will take a look and let us know what you think of it. I can't thank Terry enough for his hard work and the support he is giving me and I'm sorry for being the reason you haven't seen so much of him recently. I promise that when I start posting the story we will both have more time and be more involved again.

Are you expecting me to be fair, balanced and unbiased?

I've always known and appreciated your contributions, spikeman. Your posted, showcased reviews have given great support to writers, me included. I know many of us are very thankful for the review team and its efforts.

Hey, all!   A mild 9C here.

I checked and @dughlas was on site 17 hours ago.   I hope he's doing well.

You're not old. Just well-seasoned.   And regarding those long hours, I have a few suggestions on how to enjoy a relaxing evening. (Top secret. Don't tell anyone )

I'm probably the poster child for "the one who shows up every two years". Smh. Life outside the forum or the whole website gets in the way more often than necessary. I can only hope he and his family are doing ok.

Don't be embarrassed.  You had a legit inquiry, and they addressed it properly. Besides it's not like that time when your backpack got stuck in a car door, said car started moving, and you had to run next to it until you got your backpack free. Oh. Wait. That was me.

You never asked for a ransom. I have so much to teach you.

I would pay for the video of this!
