This is great story! Thank you! I can hear some of the older folks I grew up around. My father's people but especially my mom's. My dad's folks were farmers / ranchers but mostly bootleggers. Hmy mom's dad came from Kentucky Hill folk, not sure what brought them... most likely hard times.. They never talked about it lol so I'm sure there's skeletons buried... Her mom's people from Alabama slowly lost everything (large plantation) after 1865. My Grandmother was born ontheir way to Oklahoma for the landrun not far from Cushing/Drumright area... the farm is still in the family.... All this to say thank you! I literally can hear this dialect and tone being spoken as i did listening as a kid evenings outside undershade trees or telling stories to us evenings. My hats off to u! Not many could pull that off anymore with your accuracy!

Look Alike Day is a fun holiday invented to celebrate identical twins, clones, copycats and anyone else who you look like or who looks like you. Dress Alike The unofficial holiday with unknown origins encourages people to dress up and look like someone else. This person could be someone you look up to or a celebrity you are a fan of. How to Celebrate? If you know your look alike, spend the day with them. Dress up identically and copy each other's mannerisms, and have fun with people struggling to tell you apart! Find out what celebrity looks like you. Dress up like them, talk like them and walk like them. If it is a singer you look alike sing their songs the whole day long. If it is a author, then read out lines from their books every time you speak with someone. If you are on social media websites change out your display picture and replace it with your look alike's. Make sure you take permission from the owner of the picture before you do so. Did You Know… …that it is said that there are at least 7 people in the world who look like you? *** Our salesman at the electronics store was pitching a high-definition television. A fellow shopper, overhearing the spiel, mentioned that he'd upgraded his regular TV to high-def. "How'd you do that?" my husband asked. "I dusted the screen." *** A woman walked into the elevator tossing her keys up in the air and catching them. After one too many tosses, she dropped the keys, and we watched as they disappeared into the crack between the open doors and the floor. I felt terrible for her. Or I did until she cried, "Oh no! Not again!" *** Two American tourists are driving through Wales. They decide to stop for a bite to eat in the village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogo- gogoch.* Baffled by the name, one of them turns to a local and asks, "Would you please say where we are—very slowly?" The Welshman leans over and says, very slowly, "Burrr-gerrr Kinngg." *We kid you not! The 3,000 people in this community on the island of Anglesey must spend hours writing their return address. *** A garden center customer picks up a container of insecticide and asks the salesperson, "Is this good for red ants?" "No," says the salesperson. "It'll kill 'em!" *** My diminutive aunt Flora, just four feet, nine inches tall, accepted an offer to visit a health club for a free session. After being greeted heartily, she was shown where she could change and told an instructor would soon be with her. Having changed her clothes, Aunt Flora went back to the exercise area. Along one wall she noticed a silver bar that was not in use, and decided to try her hand at chin-ups while she waited. She jumped up, barely reaching the bar, and managed to strain through two chin-ups before the instructor came to her side. Smiling politely, the instructor said, "If you want to let go of the coat rack and follow me, I'll be glad to help you get started." *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** sandrewn

Many questions and challenges happening in this chapter @J92. Adam deserves what ever bad things happen to him and his bunch of thugs. Jail or worse for kidnapping and beating Thomas. Although Adam (or somebody else) put a hand over Thomas' mouth, they didn't use chloroform to knock him out. Perhaps Thomas will see and grab the emergency (glow-in-the-dark) trunk lid release handle and escape if the car stops in traffic? (or will driver behind see it and call police?). But when Thomas was grabbed from behind, "... his phone is pulled off his hand and chucked into the open trunk". So the question is, was his phone "chucked into" his own trunk, or the one he's been thrown into? Clearly Adam is as deranged and homophobic as his "bible thumping" parents, all of whom are determined to change Thomas back in to the 'Sophie' he was born as. They refuse to accept his gender identity issue which he has (apparently) physically and probably surgically has changed from FTM.

Yup, my head is spinning trying to keep track. All I know is it sounds like you're gearing up for a big yank on the heart strings. If the next chapter gets me emotional I'm so throwing you in the dog house. But all serious great build up. Does anyone one have any nails I can bite? Mine are already down to the cuticles from the anticipation. Dang flabbed artists and cliffs.

Certainly a complicated chapter with a range of ethical and legal (in Dracul terms) issues being considered. We need to await the resolution of that consideration. I agree that it looks like the household getting bigger. The relationship between Josh and Craig is interesting and has a number of outcomes. Josh's reaction to Greg feeding Charlie suggests that, for now at least, it is a parental bond. I want to see Josh feeding Craig. Now, what about Chipper? Who will be feeding him?

Rose motel, no, roach motel, yes Never have I ever slept on a bed made of ice despite having the opportunity

TODAY Tessa orgasmed dreaming about Yvette SHUDR

It is true, the world can change overnight. The first thing I saw tonight was that purple banner. Then I focused on the words and in a blink of the eye, it did. Oh, the sun will still rise in the morning, but I think that when I look up into the heavens tonight, there will be a new star shining down up us. Science says, stars appear to blink due to the Earths' atmosphere. You and I know(believe) it is just Comsie 'Winking at us' from his new home. My second and last thought was forever, GFD. "Fair Winds and Following Seas"

I have especially when I traveled for work. Never have I ever stayed at the Rose Motel.

That's the way to tell them Al, but with a smile at the finish of the statement. 😀 I love Uncle George. He defiantly has Pete's safety and well being as a top priority. We can all see the dark storm cloud of Carl with his crowd, and his unknown influence on the horizon. I suspect that Pete and Mitch will need all the support that they can get. Hopefully, it will come to them.

I know. Trick or treating in those buildings was always odd and nope never stayed in a penthouse. Never have I stayed in a hotel alone.

Complicated but informative! What a great chapter. I want more and the sooner the better! Thanks.

That's great. Thank you for sharing that. For some reason, I don't see that happening here. We talk about building homes, but who can afford them when they're over a million dollars to buy? The government seems loathe to build housing itself.

It’s weird how the 13th floors don’t exist but they do. Never have I ever stayed in a penthouse

Well fuck, that was A Lot. And so freaking good! So our boy finally lost it. Can't say I'm surprised really. Dad-bro Kalian is on a whole other level after all and so, apparently, is his majik. The exchange between Lyme & Eon and subsequent near-choking of emo goblin boy plus bros bickering was brilliantly done. As was forcing Kal to intervene. I mean, obviously he's not going to allow the children to break useful objects. But having to stand against both his husband and his brother? On behalf of a more-than-questionable emo goblin boy? Absolutely brilliant. Talk about breaking point... And haha another dead king. You realise this means that the false accusation of Kal being a king-killer in a previous arc was actually foreshadowing, right? Absolute banger, my dude... Too good. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you are a master of your craft. And we are beyond privileged to be allowed to read your stories. Storytelling King. Man, so freaking good... And on that note - and a bit of a cliffie for me because it's past 4am and my bed is calling - I say "thanks for the fish boss, see you on the flipside". 🤘

Wow i wish I could say that lol. 4 times here! Never ever have I been in an elevator that stopped at the 13th floor..

Okay, not sure what is going on; but that went to hell in a handbasket rather quickly...

Well, I think that if Lyoth and Strawren can get to them, they can help; but don't discount Phentrom if he so decides. Can't this group ever catch a break???

A huge loss. May his memory be a blessing.
