Wow, an armored Crowne Victoria vs a Mustang; and the Crowne Vic souped up beyond any possible explanation other than an all out hit machine on a no compromise mission…ASSASSINATE! Even with Andrew’s skills and his car’s agility, he was out matched by the hit mobile. The driver got away after trying to assassinate by handgun, but had the passenger gotten away or was the passenger killed/disabled?

But unfortunately the driver seems to have gotten away; are there any bread crumbs left?

Disputed birth father at the child’s age of 5yo and only recorded on the birth certificate, not reported to the claimed father; again, this is exactly why the recorded parents should only be allowed on that document by that person being there in person and signing the certificate; or by a court filing, either as directed by the court based on findings or as sworn and filed with the court, then approved for recording that amendment as requested.

Given that the birth record was amended to add Will as father without his knowledge, which should be made illegal, and that paternity is claimed by parties representing Edward, by document or public claim, a court order DNA test shouldn’t be hard to obtain in a timely fashion. Legal maneuvering wise, a random DNA sample obtained in the presence or vicinity of Edward, tested and showing non-related, could then force a demand for retesting to pursue claims on behalf of Edward. Chain of custody or of proper subject is open for dispute, just as the birth certificate claim of parentage.

It’s digital too, unless you use your digits to hang those prints up they are not likely to cure properly.

Oh thank goodness it’s only the plunger. I was thinking more in line with that famously known Crap hitting an oscillating Fecal Articulating Nebulizer; perhaps set on turbo speed.

Hmmm, something seems to be lurking in the shadows…and I don’t think it’s Johnston.

Just politics… 🤣

The PM and Aide have things well in hand…or so they think.

I had a guy bid for me on an insurance salvage wreck that wasn’t really damaged much…but the labor forced it to be totaled. I got the 1970 Chevy large block 454 and had it running and driving within a week. I myself thought it too provocative for classmates, so I decided to placard the 400 emblem on the fenders vs the real beast of the 454 that it was. My father was amazed at how well it restored to be undamaged, as all parts requiring replacement did indeed leave the car undamaged when done. I too had a tear when needing to sell it in the bad economy and my final few years at college. I would love to own it again but unfortunately I know the original engine was burned up by a careless operator not replacing a water hose and yet continued to drive it hot 🥵; total disregard for the machine.

Nah, it’s a much safer discussion point than all that political 💩. 😂 Hey, we’re gay, of course we know how to handle a stick. And yes, we love that it has a nice open throat while feeling the powerful thrust forward driving you back against the seat; each and every punch bringing the same excitement to the drive home.

Yup, me smells a big time setup; at least one life lost, at least one ruined, now the Dominoes as Father plays them; Father is removing any doubts that he is a very bad character.

Long term damage indeed. The two younger daughters especially were not happy being put in that very, very awkward position. I had already shared some with the oldest daughter, but she really resented her mom for the disgusting use of such personal information; trying to manipulate her and the sisters. The nuclear family was never the same from that time frame forward. The younger girls don’t call much and don’t talk at depth of their personal lives; that’s the case with the older sister, myself and their mom…just …hermits? The timing of employment, probation, then Covid, didn’t help in promoting a healthy youthful adult socialization. But I still feel much originated back with the high school years and a mom going full out attack on dad; the perverted gay man.

I’m loving how Josh is connecting with Foggy Josh, the foster siblings, parents and family…except pompous Grand-ma-ma. What a terrible dilemma to face…one’s self, especially when it’s smack dab middle of a triller spy mystery. Oh my, Greg is trying so hard to be thorough and proper, yet, he doesn’t really know the level of government involvement nor the level of trust he should put in any procedures being respected within law. I hope the warrant Greg brings has precautionary safeguards provided by the courts, that keep everything legal, but likewise protected from any parties not involved directly within the scope of the investigation as authorized and/or expanded by judge. Whether internal agencies or external entities, murder and attempted murder has already befallen Josh. All info on his whereabouts, any protection details, and his status of recovery/recall need utmost security on the most strict need to know level of handling; all paperwork needs the same protections with all DSS paperwork, authorizations, and notes restricted to generic health and placement follow ups. Wow, the chapter doesn’t seem to have much beyond feel good fillers, yet it’s packed with much to consider by all parties; especially Josh. Thankfully, Josh hears and sees the honesty and sincerity in the family setting, so hopefully that continues to prove to be his safe place. Great chapter, @Jeff Burton, thank you, thank you, thank you, for returning to this great storyline you have created here.

Follow that inter-voice, there’s a ghost of a chance it’s Devine or a gifting…once decrypted, that is.

It’s so disgusting that Jack would be withheld from grandmas and even worse that grandma would have no part in seeing Jack, despite her many requests. Despicable parents where neither kids are grandparents are good enough unless they serve a purpose. I have to wonder if perhaps a complication with grandma may be that Jack’s parents stoled her money to live beyond their own means.

Absolutely. The then wife and mother of my girls thought nothing of trying to weaponize my personal life to try to turn the girls against their perverted father. I saw it coming, so little did she know that I had already taken the opportunity to explain my history…that was all before meeting their mom btw. Then explained the situation as their mother was unhinged and totally irrational about it. Ironically, she now idolizes Freddy Mercury and thinks he was a total genius and suffering as a public figure that couldn’t be himself due to public perception and opinions. 🤔 Huh? Yet the father of her girls, our girls, and her husband of decades, was a lying, cheating, perverted, gay…that like men. Yet, I had been totally monogamous as her husband until that point in marriage. All the relationships, particularly one, that she was referring to, was due college and well before meeting her. At that time I saw nothing wrong with liking, dating, and marrying a person I loved; regardless the sex, it’s the person that you fall in love with. I very much know how much a family disintegration can hurt. She intentionally hurt me, the girls, my parents, and siblings, as she would take many public opportunities at family meals and gathering to ask for attention and start to air dirty laundry to them all. I stopped her dead one occasion and told my parents that she intended to hurt the family and her welcome was over. I loaded her and her suitcase in our car and took her to the airport. I told her good luck getting a friend to help her upon your arrival but I was doing nothing for her beyond dropping her off for the flight I arranged for her return. Obviously, I was very hurt, very pissed, and didn’t know what the future would bring. Why she didn’t see that coming I have no idea. She was actually surprised and thought she’d still be staying…

Oh yeah, a harem of mothers to his kids…all just as motivated to succeed in life as the weasel does; so will she turn her grandchildren away or does she become the old lady in the shoe, with too many kids and not knowing what to do?

I can imagine Cody has been on high alert, with his Joel sensitivity settings on maximum. So whether wearing the weasel down to a frustrated but disclosing snap back or just listening around corners as curiosity would demand with a missing brother out there somewhere unknown to him, Cody has been collecting nuggets wherever he can and obviously the puzzle pieces have filled in a lot.

Ahhh, then Joel might would get some breaks from riding lessons as Lacey would have closer aged focus and energy.

Red Herring or not, the question of the police cruisers destination, and reason for call out, remains unanswered. Chasing the Weasel would be so ironic, especially if he’s hanging out behind the park bushes known for…well, special recreational activities.

Wow, neither time nor distance made that ice cold heart grow fonder; Joel’s mother is so fixated on her hate that she throws away her most endearing son, or at least the most mature. After this latest episode, I’m not sure Cody will ever behold his mom with endearment again. I’m actually going on a tangent with my thoughts, but Cody is so mad and frustrated with his parents that his departure around the house took him farther removed; too far to even see Joel leave. It make me think Cody may actually run away in desperation. I wouldn’t be surprised if Joel doesn’t have to come back over to find Cody at one of their special places they shared as brothers. The parents and Weasel wouldn’t know Cody well enough to even begin to a logical list of possibilities, and would never know a special space of meaning to Cody…or at least one that Cody knows means something to Joel. What a sad and miserable person Luni Lisa is, and poor old dad, he lost his backbone so long ago and now he doesn’t know where to find it. To his credit, he did commit to bringing Cody against Luni Lisa’s proclamation against any contact with the pervert. Yes Joel put off his confession until nearly there, but I think the timing worked great, as Joel did have time to fixate on what he had confessed before they where walking towards his birthplace and only known home. His confession about himself also revealed he already loves Celia, and I think Trace too, as they make it so difficult not to. He needs them…is a big step in admitting he is not alone and that he can already trust them but he just needed to hear it too. A very touching message hidden within the breaking news of his coming out; to himself, to Celia, and now I think we can expect a more definitive yes, I’m gay to the Connelly extended household…yes, including the other two. No, the twins, not the dogs…they already knew and didn’t care one lick 👅.

A young man with raging hormones in an environment like this hippy camp would easily be confused by the nonjudgmental free expression environment. That young 14yo…it’s ok for whatever he what’s to try, the same for anyone here. Oh me, oh my, oh how can anyone not feel the more basic pull of nature.

Some of the great lecture halls were known to have the lights down low…hmmm, history was never so motivating; oh yeah, ahhh, that’s it, yeah, oh god…

Ahhh, the water heater usually help limit water usage by teens; another reason to not convert to the on-demand tankless water heaters…the teen showers could last forever! Whoever said they’ll save you money obviously didn’t have teens in the house. 🤦‍♂️
