That was the first movie I saw as a teenager that really, really had me jumping out of my seat! Didn't see that one, but just on IFC last night was a movie with George C. Scott called The Changeling...nothing can scare you more than an angry ghost.

Yeah...at 19 he's 6'5"...there's not a lot of people that tall. And with his survival skills in 'wilderness' he is doubtfully, very strong physically--possibly enough to defend himself hand-to-hand.

Anybody else not want to look like Bruce Vilanch?

Honestly, it doesn't make them any less funny...

Well...it looks like the relationship finally got stale, what with raising 3 kids with a lesbian, working 9-5, M-F, for both Brad and Robbie. Especially as evidenced by the opening, both getting out of the shower after their usual 'morning recreation' which, over the last 20 years, hasn't changed much, Mark, hm? Now, to relate to your survey on the other thread, no, I don't think Robbie should be 'fooling around' with his biological son, period--it just isn't right, despite the fact that Matt & JP fooled around at the 4th of July Festival in Claremont back when he was headed out to CA. I think it's time for Robbie & Brad to get a vacation--just to themselves--so they can unwind, relax, and restore their relationsip with each other. Brad doesn't love Robbie just when his movie picks are successes, it's all the time! Robbie is losing track of what that relationship means to both of them, and has always been insecure about this type of issue. Amphion...hmm...we were, at last thought, thinking that Brian was perhaps the cause of their continued upswing in the financial backing arena--but it might not be--what if it's their former friend down in Mexico providing the cash and using Cary, and Amphion, as a front? Now, in finishing the thread and seeing that some people are suspecting Lark to be behind the 'financial' trouble, it's a possibility...another, possibly remote, could be Professor Whist's little drama queen admirer who was ousted from the running during the GSA election--or drama queen's current lover--or even Prof. Whist's current lover. One can always wonder...

Tarin, Verdana also lends itself to reading quite nicely, it's a sans serif font and quite clear.

You could also use Windows Explorer to do an advanced search on the entire drive for files using the following wildcard searches to find all document files: *.doc *.docx You can use other wildcards to search for those missing e-books, too. Also, check your recycle bin--if there's anything there, they might be 'buried' in there. These wildcards will find all MS-Word backward compatible files, and all 'recent' version 'non-backward compatible' files. Make sure you search on the "C:\" drive, and check the box to allow searching unindexed/hidden/system folders--that rogue program may have created a hidden directory and put them there. This will allow you to find them and move them back en-masse. Good luck.

Lacey, just take my word for it, you don't want to try...

There's always a plan...today I plan on being impulsive and spontaneous.

I actually liked the commercial with the dad being totally clueless!

I'll apologize to all the authors I read, right now, and say that I don't always review or e-mail them with prodigious expressions of deepest appreciation for their well woven fictional entertainments. That being said (it could've been easier: I enjoy your stories very much) I read every e-mail I get (even junk before I delete it) and appreciate responses to my reviews and e-mails, but I also understand if they don't have time to respond to each e-mail or review individually. Some authors are motivated by them, and some are disappointed if they don't get any feedback at all...one is locally located...and I can understand why. There's a certain amount of time and effort involved in writing (which is why I never wrote well in school) in order to get it 'just right' before you let it go, so--for some of them--responding would take too much time away from the 'art' they're involved in. If I were to use Comicality as an example--and I think, a fine one--he says that he responds to each e-mail personally, at least he has to mine. But it takes him time--he's said that he gets over 500 e-mails a day (and I beleive him, I get around 75 and I don't write, yet)--he's also got his chat group, his writing, and e-mailing those off to his editors and proofers as well, and he's doing it all from webTV--not from a PC! I've even chatted with him, although I don't remember if it was here, or on Yahoo...but he does all that on top of working regularly! I told him as much that I don't expect him to rush to respond to me personally, and to use the time to write...save the responses to my story reviews or questions for when he's doing some responses in the forums and answering a whole bunch of other stuff as well.

Why fight any of him? He's cute, it's not his fault they've publicized him more than reality TV...I wouldn't take a digit though, not when there's so much delicious Bieber there!

I got it...read the story first...

Hmm....jamessavik is a baby magnet!

The cause of that estrangement he had with his parents was that when he was 30, his mother petitioned the courts to take over his $6 million estate and manage his money--something that he contended was not only unnecessary, but that she only wanted the money, period.

Happy Birthday, dude! You are allowed ONE shot of (GOOD) Tequila! (Just to make sure you don't go way out into left field. And 'GOOD' means: Not Cuervo, try Patron)

My favorite comeback from when I used to work at Radio Shack Computer Centers (before they closed them) when people would call the store expecting techie support, which we weren't allowed to do at the retail level: Me: Let me go pull out an owner's manual and we'll go through that together. Telephone: <Click!> --- The one time I was having problems with IE, and had to reinstall it, I uninstalled it first, and used Outlook to download the new version's installation routine.

Of course!

Well...the forum question does inspire personal opinions on the subject, so: With the CAP saga being just that, a saga, albeit one where we get to "become part of the family" so to speak, it also begs the question of "Should it end?" Being the story of the family, I don't think it can end--not with three kids belonging to Brad, Robbie and Janine. The kids have to be able to take it somewhere interesting, and it doesn't have to be released on a 'nearly' weekly basis, either. Once we're up to current times, it'd be easy for Mark to do a chapter each month around current events, sort of a continuing serial.

Alright, we know that you are a senator; but then let us suppose that you are an ass--but I repeat myself! -- Mark Twain.

Attributed to Sir Winston Churchill upon walking into a rather 'stuffy' dinner and being corralled into a series of introductions, "Madam, you are ugly!" To which she indignantly replied, "And you sir are quite drunk!" "And I shall be sober in the morning!" He replied, not missing a beat.

Try reading when your perception is so off that you're legally blind, like my husband, or don't have the hand dexterity to turn pages--he uses audio books for reading for that reason--and his actual recall is excellent!

Although you love it when they discuss what you've done and what you might yet do!

I stand corrected, MikeL, thanks.

Well...at least I found out what happened...I had already read it, so...while it was shocking, I enjoyed the read...it does tend to help people understand where Ryan is going to be 'coming from' in later chapters as his relationship with Luke builds. Go back to it, and continue.
