I'm not really upset with the pace of the releases, I miss the interface from GA, where I can resize the text through the link at the top of the page...it was handy when I was out and reading on my BlackBerry or even at home on the desktop. His "columnar" format is making for short reads, and small text only.

Pretty much mw85...OP is still a popular brand with some...

Yeah, and with Ch. 5, the waiting game continues on what type of kink Robbie's into as well...Mark's pushing for King of Cliffhangers for next year, I think...

David mentioned the lifestages of child/boy/tween/man in the stories....just not in this one, yet... I'm enjoying this at least as much as ITPSS and GoS...now that Chandler and Marty have been hit with the fact that they'll be living at least another 100 years, the next chapter should reallly take off with some disclosures (i.e.: Not of this world, no magic at home, etc.), and set ups for some real journeys to begin...

I am not sour...just, miffed...where's my staff member?!? I need my comb, and my nose is running again!

SRevol, you're missing the point of this participatory thread. The previous poster has solved a riddle by coming up with a phrase posed by the 8 letters left by the previous poster to them. Each word given in the solution phrase must use as the first letter of each word, in the order given, the characters left by the previous poster. If you will notice, Writeincode's previous response above missed one character, the letter "Y". So far, you're two behind - given your double word post earlier, even though someone responded to one of yours...as an example, I will solve yours, quoted above, and leave one of my own, which you or anyone else may solve for.

Mark, I'm, sort of, in the same kind of boat Sharon is...my partner, Rob, is a controller...so I let him do what he wants...and I do what I want...he's in charge of the "social calendar" and "appointments" but I'm in charge of driving so, if I'm not ready... He let's me have enough time to do "chores" (which I don't mind doing), but sometimes forgets how much time they actually take...so when something isn't done he also knows better than to ask, "Why?"

And so I was right, Chapter 4 posted Wednesday night... Mark! That was quite a surprise having that long B&R conversation on the beach, and in the plane with Max joining in it, too! You're quite a little surprise packager! I liked the twist at the end with the calendaring...and if I have to wait for Ch. 7 or 8 for Robbie's conversation with Neil over how Neil handled Robbie getting that from Brad, with your current schedule, I think I can hold out for a month...

Hey, Kevin! I'm also reading this now...please continue with it?

See if you can get Vonage for your phone and internet, I hear from some friends and from their ads that they're very inexpensive.

Congrat's on the award, J', it's well deserved. I've picked up reading the series and find the interaction, and emotional expression, to be quite realistic. A very good read all-in-all.

Actually, PrinceAP, I'm going to break your "rule" and say neither. I'll ask my question after stating the reason for my reasoning, here.I was in a relationship and my ex was not only bi-polar, but abusive as well. I have no doubt that with his endowment he was also cruising and picking up other guys...It hurts to be cheated on, especially when I would have had sex with him anytime he wanted, but it's also no fun to be the cheater if you truly love the one you're with; the guilt afterward will just eat you alive.WYR: Forgive someone for hurting you deeply and painfully upon finding out from a third person about their transgression,or:Have them confess it to you before you find out from anyone else and ask for your forgiveness right away?

Read ITPSS yesterday, all of it, since I've started with The Translator and then GoSI...and Master of Fire....ALL of which are tied together excellently, by the way, Mark. Now, the stories: Excellent, Excellent, Excellent, and Excellent. Now, the demand: More, More, More, and More! The Translator sort of left of in a middle...and MoF is progressing nicely...

You guys are in for a great ride through life...Rob & I have been together for almost 18 1/2 years now. There are days where we work ourselves to exhaustion, and days where we never get out of bed are scarce--but they do happen, still . Two great things that we decided to do early in our relationship, even if we're mad at each other, no matter whether it's a trivial or major stressor, was promise each other that we would never go to bed angry with each other, and tell each other that we still loved the other. That's been happening either on the phone before I moved in, or every day since I moved in with him, January 11, 1992. For those of you who think relationships don't last, one of our acquaintances from our former bowling league has been with his partner for about 65 years now...

And, as usual, Mark, you're ahead of schedule again. Chapter 3 for Tuesday posted on Sunday (2 days early, you're estimates are getting farther off ) and I read it along with four other stories I'm keeping up with <whew!>. So I'm guestimating over your estimate that Chap. 4 will probably post by Wed. or Thu. since you're running early. Chap. 3 was excellent, Mark. A relief for me to see what happened with those relationships, and that things worked out the way they did...and that B&R will, hopefully, continue to have their relationship improve once again, it's been too long for them away at college. That kink thing with Neil & Robbie is going to be interesting when it comes out...

You know, in listing the minor characters, it would help to have a reminder of their relationship background in the stories...I didn't know who Greg was until reading about him in the stories, and still forget the relationship that links him in. All the others I remember as major players in the storyline....but I hate to think of Mouse coming down with HIV...he sounds so cute...

Could it be that Neil is the proverbial "size queen"?? And the bag left in the jeep in ch. 1 was Neil's giant dildoes? Or that Robbie is into being a rough or leather top, @ noted in all previous sex scenes with Mouse?

I have to agree with you, Conner, Neil's exit can't come soon enough...I, too missed on the first 2 years of college for B&R but suppose that's a hot and heavy short story from Mark later on...(hint, hint, kick-in-the-seat). Although the story is told from Brad's POV, it would've been nice to shift to Robbie's place for that conversation between him and Neil before and after Robbie's call to Brad.

What makes you think you can't?

ANCK, that sounds like Bodega Bay.
