Somewhere there is a special room in Hell for Kelvin, the man is a monster, a predator, and a scumbag... He nodded slowly. “Yeah. Because if we got too close… I don’t know what I might do. What if I crossed a line without meaning to? What if I really did take advantage of you?” That stunned me. Not the fact that he was struggling—but how deeply he feared himself. I think part of the overall problem is that Creek is the youngest in his family, and everyone can't help but see him that way, it is well past time for Creek to display a bit more independence...especially from his mother, who still sees him as a child, not yet grown...Melvin truly needs hope, and I hope Creek's comments help point the way to him...

Love the slow burn of the background, the setting of the stage as it were...and with more dubious characters yet to be introduced!! Yes...what he said!!!

It was inevitable...

My goodness, this was a chapter and a half...wonder how Joel will be treated now that he's going to play baseball, should be interesting...Colt...what a dork and kudos to Davin's response to Colt's fox paw...It's been said that three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead... I was gonna suggest a regular dose of Metamucil or Ex-Lax for Joel; perhaps being a bit more regular might help the boy. That or passing gas a bit more to keep the shitty ideas at bay... When is the birthday party??? Trace best ensure Cody is coming!@!!

The stars were aligned for these two boys, all of this food and the descriptions aren't doing my diet any favors....

So Captain Williams likes to poke the puppy, or whatever floats his boat, perhaps he should bend over for several Great Danes for starters... Braden redeemed hisself with the 'rescue' of Wishbone and the thumbdrive, I imagine it had clips of the good Captain getting his furry jollies...

All's well that ends well, and everything went according to plan, and they had parked their vehicle, and had no getaway driver!!! Clint needs a boyfriend and quickly!!!

Important steps were taken with tender, loving care...Woody was a source of strength. I would like to see more of him and their father, they both seem to be in tune with reality. Marvin needs the support of friends more than ever, along with some intensive professional help!!

And my reading list just keeps on growing...

Mistress Carolyn is slowly growing on me... After lunch, he ran into Miss Carolyn in the hallway, who looked at him appraisingly. "I still don't like you, but at least you deserve respect. Hell and Eden, I really can't stand people like your mother." Isn't it time for Dante to have that conversation, Mistress Carolyn discussed with him earlier??? Frank is like a pressure cooker....simply venting for the moment.... That Dante is held in high regard isn't in question, to his embarrassment... Glad I wasn't sitting at that dinner table, the temptation to slip a knife, poisoned roll, or trip Brittany as she was leaving the table, may have been an urge too difficult to overcome...

From today's Wall Street Journal @Jeff Burton... Colombia Orders Probe Into Ties Between Military and Drug Traffickers - WSJ

I consider the following the best advice yet, words to write by!!! If you could give advice to yourself when you first started writing, what would it be? Let’s see… 1. Never post anything incomplete. Ever. Johnson's No More Tears would be my recommendation...🤔 Loved this interview, I discovered Thirdly in my early days at GA and have always been a fan!!!!

Someone needs to have that conversation with Matthijs, as I believe he feels much differently... ‘I understand you had a nice weekend with your boyfriend,’ Johny said in a neutral voice as if it was obvious that Åke was gay and had had his boyfriend visiting him. Åke was glad Johny knew. ‘Sure, we played chess and went to the movies and to a disco. What did you do?’ ‘I just stayed at home, playing music and reading. I’m not a disco freak. But you guys didn’t go with the others, I noticed.’ ‘We went to another disco, more suited for people like my friend and me.’ ‘The kind of disco where cute boys lose their innocence?’ Johny asked with an amused smile. ‘I think so, but just for the good order: Matthijs is not my boyfriend. He’s my best chess friend.’ ‘And who’s your best non-chess friend?’ Johny’s eyes were gleaming again.

Does our erstwhile detective get the photos from his phone to a secure location on the cloud or at least to Micah??? "Whoa. This is an even bigger story than I ever imagined." "Weren't you listening? That means you're in as much danger as I am." "I've been in danger of one sort or another since I broke this story. I'm not worried." I sighed. "You'll at least be careful?" "Of course I'll be careful, as long as you promise to be careful too." "I promise. Now I've got to run. I have to take photos of all these papers, then see the detective and hand them over." "Okay. Killian, I love you."

A great day baking cake with sprinkle topping with the boys...sadly, as I was once told by my grandfather, you can choose your friends, but not your relatives... Haven't gone out for the New Year in ages, it is to me... amateur night when those who don't imbibe, get all kinds of inebreated...and then drive...

So sad I want to say this is the worst this arc has to offer. It's not.

A classic case of the pot calling the kettle black... “Arthur,” I said tightly, “you’re acting like he’s some kind of threat. He’s not. And don’t pretend this is about Forest’s safety. This is about your discomfort.” “Don’t put words in my mouth.” Again, there isn't a court in the US that would agree to severing Creek's parental rights, especially considering the "behavior" and comments by the others... Dailan is wiser than his years show...

Ohh....it's gonna take some real effort!!!! I thought, "What, no level up?" "No, you're at 361 unused points. Geometric progression's a cruel master."

Previously...from CH 11 drsawzall 73,897 Posted July 13 Popular Comment They have video of the fight in the hospital, it seems incongruuous, we don't have prints as we know the gloves came off... As others have noted, Josh was carrying the device...why...slipped to him by one of his parents...or is his DNA tied to the device? I have to hazard the guess that Walter knows more than anyone, he told Josh to stay "Black:...then we are left with not only Josh's mysterious voice in his head but his instinctive reactions and processing. In the following, I find it interesting that Cassandra goes to the Director first, not Walter, possible red herring??...And...Would Josh react to the trigger word CHIMERA?? Cassandra added quietly, “Maybe Walter knows.” Greg looked up. “Walter?” “Walter Green,” she confirmed. “Our Deputy Director of Analysis.” “Yeah,” Greg said slowly, recalling the name. “I know him. He was there the day we flew the kid in from Roanoke. He met us on your helipad outside and walked with the kid the whole way in. Real quiet, but definitely paying attention.” Cassandra recognized the shift in Greg’s tone...low, thoughtful, edged with caution. It was the sound of someone assembling a puzzle they weren’t sure they wanted to finish. “I’ll ask the Director,” she offered. “If CHIMERA is a trigger word, he’s the safest person to bring it to. He’s been here a long time, not quite as long as Walter, but if it was significant, he’ll remember.”

Five thoroughly incapacitated CIA rogue agents are lying writhing on a warehouse floor. I have to believe they will shortly be in custody... Like many others, I suspect Walter as well, fully understanding he may not be the mastermind, someone we have yet to meet.... Hopefully, Josh didn't seriously reinjure himself...we need another chapter ASAP....otherwise we might get stuck sitting at the kitchen table...oh...can't wait to see grandma get her comeuppance, will Josh totally embarrass her with faux kindness???

Hopefully, by dealing with the house, Dareen will find some closure The boys are going to do some serious exploring...

Hopefully it won't take long, say one or two chapters, for the good Captain to have a conjugal visit with an orc...

The man just can't help himself, after being told by Creek to but out, what does he go and do??? He all but destroys Marvin, has that conversation with his parents, igniting a secondary firestorm, needlessly upsetting everyone... Creeks' parents need to realize the year is 2025; if they aren't careful, not only will they lose their son, but their grandson as well... I may have been a bit harsh with Marvin; he needs understanding, professional help regarding his ex...that man is an utter a-hole...hopefully the bus that runs him over hits a garbage filled puddle first....Most of all, Marvin needs friends!!!! Marvin has grounds for a civil rights lawsuit, and he would win, hands down...it's obvious he can no longer work in Arthur's restaurant...he should be given sterling references and find another spot where his skills shine... While it may be a step too far, perhaps Creek should move out of his parents' house for a cool-down period... My respect for Dailan grows by leaps and bounds... If Creek's family tries to take Forest away, they will lose big time... #TeamDailan....

Hopefully Zane is reassigned, this, however, being a military school, I would guess not....

Soooo...what is Mark up to and what does Keith want??? Is this little side journey going to impact the house??? I can understand Remy's reticence to be photographed, not sure it would be something I would do, hopefully if he goes thru with this, his face isn't visible...
