Bryan actions while well intentioned just may backfire, Caleb should have been involved, understanding what happened and tagging the car just may backfire...Video in the store may exonerate numbnuts to a degree but is actions spoke louder than words, one can only hope there isn't clear security video of the parking lot... As noted before, for numbnuts to keep up this charade, the sums involved must be staggering...much more than a dollar-three-eightynine... Bryan's actions show why we don't let teenagers run the world; it takes sane, sober folks like those in Congress to make decisions of importance....oh wait....

I thought the angst between Giorgio and Marco was spot on, Marco is learning what it is like to be the object of admiration...someone who is worthy of being liked and it is a lesson he seems to be passing on... I have a hunch the next meeting between the two of them will involve information of Betts' nocturnal activities...

Hopefully the telling of tales about others has come to an end and Oscar's grand's are building quite the portfolio...

Having been a facilities manager in a previous life, the image of Keith under a desk sorting out a veritable rat's nest of electrical sockets overloaded with plugs to who knows what and possibly dangerously overloaded electrical circuits, brought back memories of some of the funny thing's employees got up to... One employee was always cold, no matter the time of year. The issue was that a line of cubicles kept losing power and we were baffled for a bit as to why. On a closer examination of the row of cubicles we found nothing amiss until we arrived at that employee's workspace. Under the desk were two, rather large electrical space heaters set on stun. Mind you this was mid-summer and outside temps were in the mid 80(F) degrees and the ambient temp on the floor was 72(F) degrees. They were adamant that others unplug their extraneous devices so they could work in comfort. When I pointed out that company policy banned the use of these devices as they did not have safety cut-off switches in case of tipping, that we would remove them. I strongly suggested that she reach out to Human Resources to see if there were other workstations that would be more suited to them. I also needed to report back to her supervisor the reason for the interruption in productivity and they should also reach out as well. Loved the following... Keith looked wry, “I managed to introduce myself rear first!”, Thomas looked puzzled.

Sometimes all it takes is a mouse to scare off an elephant...

Diplomacy is an art form to say the least, I believe Baron Pittsburg will become a convert, a formal education in literature, the sciences, the arts, or mathematics along with the trades can only be of benefit to Dracul on the long run! I think when considering the trades, a shining example would be the project that is currently underway...more to the point, regardless of the educational path chosen, the economic benefits are paid back ten-fold!!! As to why societies and nations fail, there isn't a better example than the following... I want to believe that what you imagine to be true is indeed true, but I feel that what you have observed is unique to those of noble blood. I’m afraid that, once your school opens, you will find that most common vampires are destined to toil in the trades, with only a small percentage able to rise above their place.” Lastly, who is the boy? Is he one of the homeless we've heard about???

My high school class had 127 seniors in it, slightly over a thousand students grades 7-12. our prom was believe it or not held at a small-time country club/golf course. For the most part, the prom was pretty unremarkable, my date was a "good girl" and knew from the beginning there would be no hanky panky...I was meeting up with my best friend's brother afterwards, and watched submarine races from the inside of the car...

Retrieving the amulet won't be easy and without a doubt, a price to pay for it....

No red herrings...just yet...could Ken use a bit of help???

This was a cringeworthy chapter with all of these folks continuously deluding themselves...At some frigging point Thomas has to file charges against his brother and come clean to Zack and stop leading Sharon on....

I have serious doubts about the relationship as it were between Simon and Duncan...Quite frankly I am not sure what is going on in Simon's head, I understand the parent/child relationship can be very strong and enduring. Knowing that, I see Simon, as well as his father, at fault here... Regardless of who's to blame or at fault, this is one messed up situation and as @weinerdog so succinctly pointed out, Duncan should have never gone into that meeting....If the background come out as to who Dr. M is, and how his efforts contributed towards Duncan's death...holy malpractice Batman...

There isn't much further for Cosmo to go, someone needs to wake up, and that isn't just Cosmo... I keep thinking back to the conversation Marco had with his guardians, hammering home the point that they had in fact did for him what Cosmo needs...I am not advocating that Cosmo goes to Marco's, but Cosmo now has to show he is worthy of being helped...I get the feeling that history will repeat itself with Cosmo foiling Black Betta's confrontation with Pietro... In the meantime, will anyone see Cosmo, a boy who is worth saving???

I remain concerned for Oscar, while the "incident" that started all of this was unwelcome and ill-advised, I have to suspect that there may be some other, underlying issues here that are sparking such strong reactions...I certainly understand everyone is different and will react to "triggers" differently, yet I remain puzzled as to underlying source of the panic attacks...

They should have left much earlier and Daryl should have been silenced...he will be nothing but trouble moving forward... They might need Nancy Sinatra's boots tho....

Humm...I still don't like Larry and the murderers were sloppy....and as always, thanks for sharing!!

A multi-faceted tale of Owain and Collin, two men who happen to find themselves despite issues of health, families, and issues residing in the past that come to light. A sweet, charming story of finding love and making it work!

This ain't no picnic and I hope Josel now understands the full import of what is happening...

Can only wait to guess how long it will take for Damien's clothes to come off, I'm guessing once the wife leaves...for shopping or somewhere...

I can only add my thanks and appreciation for the sharing of this story. As you know from all the comments just how much your readers enjoyed this effort of yours. If and when the sequel to this comes to light, rest assured I will devour each and every chapter. Amen brother and I second the motion!!!

More like this perhaps???

Well done and thanks...now...bring on the dinner!!!

Well Glinda was the good witch...

The issue with Cosmo is that he is smart enough to know and needs someone to stick by him as he tries to make the change everyone wants. Who will it be, possibly someone we haven't met yet.... With 6 chapters left, there is time for all sorts of shenanigans, hair and life-threatening behaviors, and lord only can guess at what our esteemed author has hidden in the alleyways of Ravello... As to Betta, my prodigious, psychotic powers of predestination see a chance encounter with fairy dust at the end of this tale...

Cosmo and Marco both realize, at least the way I saw it, that while 'friends' there wasn't any sexual chemistry between the two of them...I would have to vote for Team Giorgio...

A good steakhouse???
