Early days yet, will this newfound resolve stick?

It's what we call percussive maintenance... This evening I gave it one more try. Turned it on, let it go through its 10 minute warm-up (and don't tell me too much porn, I have Krista for that ). Nothing came up on the screens and then no sound and i got mad and just hit the side of it. Viola!! My screens work, my sound is back, and I'm back in business. I use a Lenovo all-in-one PC and have had great luck with them...

Looking forward to the trip!!

This is just the type of defeat "Brother Mathias needs....slow, anguishing, and total....

UUUUGGG...so freaking sad and predictable...Nick...you pegged Noah and what he was like and about...how many times are you going to let him beat you down, letting him treat you like a plaything....

In any contest of wills, when you have your opponent back on their heels, keep your foot on their throat till it is over...

Thanks for sharing this, it is one of your best yet!!

Oh...Sky...are you by chance a Gemini???

Third most powerful psychic should be able to control events should they get out of hand, the collar worries me...the whole scene worries me considering the following... "I get where you're coming from," Kotetsu senpai replied. "But haven't you checked the psychic strength rankings?" "Not really," I admitted. I'd glanced at it last year when I found out it existed, so I knew Qana was ranked ninth among active psychics, while Master Tartarus was seventh, but I hadn't looked at it since--just like any other Academy rankings. "Your ranking is third, only below Master Sunflare and Field," Kotetsu senpai said, waving to a passing pair of antelopes. "Huh, really?" I felt more bemusement than anxiety, maybe finally getting used to this sort of thing. "How is that even calculated? It seems like it's just inflated nonsense." "Some rankings and statistics might indulge curiosity or entertainment, but the psychic strength ranking isn't like that; its parameters are based on known facts and accomplishments, all with verifiable sources." Kotetsu senpai said, scrolling on his terminal before handing it over to me. I thought you might find the following article timely considering "The Railroad"... Drones, AI and Robot Pickers: Meet the Fully Autonomous Farm - WSJ

I just need to borrow that black card for the weekend....

Red herring alert number 1..... He shrugged. "I don't think it would do any good. People have reported it before and nothing happened." "What do you mean nothing happened?" He looked up at me, and I could see frustration and pain in his eyes. "Just what I said — nothing happened. Social Services came out and investigated, but Caleb's dad told them he was only defending himself, that Caleb was a troubled kid and had attacked him. They believed him. It's so stupid." I thought for a minute, then carefully asked my next question. "How do you know his dad isn't telling the truth?" Asher stared at me dumbfounded, but I persisted. "What if Caleb did attack his dad? How do you know he's actually being abused?" "Have you seen Caleb? He's little. How would he be a threat to anyone?" Asshat has got some big-sized testimonials to pull the old college switcheroo and thought it would be possible to sweep it under the rug as if Killian would would simply accept it...

I think there are some tough times ahead...

Quite the dynamics we have going on here...too early to tell how everything will jell between them... I'd take that bet.....

Remember...only you can prevent premature... Simply loved this chapter...so bad it's wonderful!!!

This was very enjoyable and I would love to see more of these two!!

Looks like a stiff, pun intended, learning curve ahead....

It was to me, a bunch of snooty queens in flannel....

And the circle of friends, and jerk, seems to be growing...

The End (?)

Everything you need to know about Alan is encapsulated in the following snippet of conversation with Cal... “Good morning, Alan,” I responded as I handed him his cup. “Why don’t you come back to bed?” He patted my side of the bed. “Uhm,” I hesitated. “I really need to get going. My English term paper will not finish itself and it’s due on Monday.” “Oh,” he pouted, “you’d rather think about Thoreau than me?” Good question, I thought. “It’s not a question of what I’d rather do. A responsible adult would work on the paper.”

Nathan has always been someone who was hiding in the diminishing shadows, will we see more of him???

As far as I am concerned, the jury is still out...he supposedly can cook breakfast, can he do homefries, loaded tater tots, steak and eggs...let alone a good cuppa....he can scarf someone else's chocolate muffins...can he make one???

The enemy of my enemy is my friend is my enemy.....

And don't forget Eddie...

Damn the jackalopes and dust bunnies...I'm not gonna cave to their demands or let them blackmail me for my last 4 jars of brown onion gravy and 2 boxes of fruit loops.... I'm immune I say...IMMUNE!!!! If the penguins from Valhalla were to stop by, I might reconsider.....
