Aw shucks Ott, You use your tongue prettier'n a twenty dollar whore. Thanks for posting your comments. Jim

Thank you. I smile every time someone says good things about my sex scenes. That rarely happened in my other stories. Jim

I see Raymond and Daniel as being more mature than Jeff and Paul. Raymond is ten years older than the other three... maybe that's why. Each man has a different set of experiences and expectations that affect how they approach life. Thank you so much for pointing that out about the "patrol car". I will fix it now... I just fixed it, now it reads "pickup" in both cases. I like it a lot when a reader gets involved enough to point out mistakes, that when corrected, make it a better read for others to enjoy. Thanks again for all your comments. Jim

Thank you for posting your comment. I think Daniel is so different from Paul. I suspect Raymond will have a harder time adjusting to what his revelation means in terms of net worth that Daniel will. Daniel doesn't get upset easily, he just withdraws. Jim

Thank you for (im)patiently waiting. Basically, I agree, however, our conscience and subconscious do not always agree. Daniel has some issues with trusting the love of his life. So, be patient. 😉 Thanks agin for your comments. They keep me motivated. Jim

Thanks. I find it kind of strange that people comment now on my sex scenes. That never happened much before this story. Maybe I should read some of those scenes. Then maybe I could learn what I must be doing better now.😜 Thanks for posting your comments. Jim

Thanks, I felt it would be a disservice to either/both characters if this came off as a 'booty call' or as Sam Smith says, "a one night stand". They have their challenges ahead, but they each seem to see the reality of their circumstances. Thanks for posting your comments. Jim

I have decided that this is part of "The Adams Family Saga". I am not sure how that will evolve, but it explains Raymond getting a share of the storyline as he is now officially Jeff's brother. Besides, both he and Daniel had a "Change of Heart".😉 Thanks so much for your comments. Jim

Thank you. I never used to receive comments regarding my sex scenes. I guess they have gotten better over the years. At least I hope so. Remember, expressions of love can be discounted if, the speaker is in the throes of passion or if he is almost asleep.😉 Only time will tell if of those apply. Thanks for posting your comments. Jim

Raymond made a few more phone calls and then found the former owner’s bar. It was concealed within a large credenza, most likely, so as not to offend guests who might think liquor in a Christian home was blasphemous if not absolute heresy. Raymond chuckled at how unlikely it was that those folks would ever visit or even be welcomed in his home. He made a mental note to ensure liquor was to be a visible element in his den. Linda had suggested moving the few pieces from here to the smaller h

Raymond knows to take care of his people. Thanks again for your open mindedness and of course your comments. Jim

Apparently, you are amongst the minority. Dom? I hardly think four smacks on the ass make a certifiable Dom... but, apparently a lot of readers disagree. Thanks for posting your comments. Jim

Thank you for posting your comments. I intend to keep Larry and Runt low key, along the lines is Sam and Dave. I think the NSA could benefit from Miss Julie's talents. Thanks again, Jim

I like to respond to all comments. Believe me when I tell you I just found your's. Belatedly, but sincerely, Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed my story. Jim

DaddyDaveK has already taken me to the woodshed and I promised never to do it again. Jim

"I think I'll be digesting this story for quite a while..." I could not ask for a more significant comment. I hope when you decide.. that you decide you liked it. i agree that many times same sex couples, especially in small towns, go unnoticed simply because they are like everyone else. Thanks for taking the time to post your comment. Jim

What a wonderful comment. I am glad you enjoyed it. I have often thought of redoing it for better editing and smoother flow. When I had the time I didn't do it and now I am writing two stories and committed to a third. Still, I am enjoying it all, so that has to count for something. Thanks again, Jim

I thank you especially for your comments in light of this chapter's content. It touches me that you found something positive to comment upon. Raymond, now as an Adams, has a unique perspective and I like to think a greater familiarity with and a better understanding of the "common man". Money tends to isolate in even the most liberal of families. He will have Runt and Larry believing they are doing him a favor by tearing down the old shack. Thanks again, Jim

I said it before, it is NOT the negative aspect of your only post. Negative feedback has made this a better story several times. It was the fact that 26 chapters was not enough to move you to comment once, yet one sex scene was. You assume your silently "liking" this story gives you license to impact it's direction. Had you qualified your remarks by saying, "not one for commenting, but I have enjoyed.." No, you, an author presume your professed enjoyment validated your desire to influence the content and direction of this story. That pisses me off! I have addressed my feelings regarding this matter in a private message. I have no more to say on the matter in this forum. If you wish to contact me I welcome your private message. Jim

Thank you for your positive comments. I remember thinking he should have done the whole movie in tightly whiteys. Jim

WARNING, DANGER, WILL ROBINSON! THIS IS GOING TO PISS PEOPLE OFF! You may send your hate mail to... email me at sojourn1950@yahoo.com or private message me here on GA. First off, I find the ire I feel magnified by the fact that you are a well liked author who posts stories on GA. You understand the value of posted comments. So, you have "enjoyed this story so far" exactly how would I know that? I just looked and found no posted comments from you in the last 26 chapters. Are you sure you "like" this story? "the sex scene was well done, but not to my taste" if these guys did everything to your taste, this would be your story. We read fiction to explore beyond our limited experiences. Jeff and Paul are experimenting in a safe, trusting, loving environment. They are not going to build a dungeon for bdsm. The restraints forced Jeff to focus solely on the sensations he was receiving, instead of trying to reciprocate, which is what he would have done otherwise. "it punctures the dynamic I felt between Paul and Jeff, bringing it down to a baser level than I had wished."... I am not sure I understand that statement except the "baser" part. The sex act is pretty 'base' by definition. I AM NOT UPSET THAT YOU POST A NEGATIVE COMMENT! Others have, and I made changes that, as a result, made this a better story. I AM UPSET THAT YOU COULDN'T ONCE POST AN "I AM ENJOYING YOUR STORY" POST IN 26 CHAPTERS. YET YOU DON'T HESITATE TO EXPRESS YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT OVER THE ONE SCENE THAT DISPLEASES YOU. AND FURTHER YOU HAVE THE GAUL TO REQUEST I MODIFY THE COURSE OF THIS TALE TO PLEASE YOUR SENSIBILITIES. Your displeasure is dutifully noted. Thank you for at last posting your comment. Jim Let the hate tirades begin...

Sorry, I just found your post. Ain't GA's latest upgrade great? So much for electing to be notified immediately after someone posts a comment on a story I follow. Yeah, my boys never let us sleep in on Christmas morning. I think they knew it was all about them. A belated thanks for posting your comments. Jim

Just found your post by rescanning every chapter.... Ain't the updated version of this site wonnerfull? A belated thanks for posting. Jim

The mobile home was the last line added. In proofreading I realized Raymond would not allow his employees to live like that. Ugly ties are expendable. Thanks for posting your comments. I have the feeling some are heasitant to comment on this chapter. Jim

I am flattered that folks are commenting on the sex scene. They never really have before. I hesitate to turn Larry and Runt loose. But, I do think they will be a positive addition as the story progresses. Thanks for commenting, especially for the sex scene remarks. Jim
