I don't speak a lick of German, nor can I read and understand much of it. However, I do read English pretty well and look forward to seeing more of GFD in English. Congrats on the story going global, in another language!

I have to agree with everything Graeme has said on this matter and the comment that "life is too short" to be concerned about any of this.

I enjoyed this chapter and looked forward to the coming chapters as well. It'll be interesting to find out what the items are that were ordered.

Thanks Maarten! Things have been taxing the last few months with several issues coming up, so there haven't been as many chapters written this past year. Sorry Hopefully, things will turn for the better soon. Thanks for the review!

Congratulations to all the winners!

We did somewhat until Obamacare came along. Most of us still advocate the free market, hence, the move to overturn Obamacare. Nowhere else in the world can someone be wheeled into an ER with an heart-attack and receive the kind of care they can here in the US, with or without insurance. That's the problem with Obamacare, a lot of people see it as a fix to the system when in reality it's only demands you have health insurance or pay an additional tax and has nothing whatsoever to do with health care. We already have, IMHO, the best health care in the world. We need to be able to buy insurance across state lines (real competition) and have some type of tort reform.

I agree 100%

I don't believe I've done this before but, Let the Music Play by C James is a book written on the talent level of Tom Clancy, back when he wrote his books. I highly recommend this book to any who loves a good thriller with gay characters and written in a non-porn way. Let The Music Play

Always be true to yourself. Generally speaking, I am. I am who I am and I don't try to be anyone else. I do however keep my private life, private. I don't feel a need to broadcast to the world who I love and may sleep with. It's no one's business. Period. Like Chris, I don't see this as a GLBT only issue. My friends come in all shape and sizes, interests, and beliefs, unlike the author of the article linked above. And I've seen my straight friends struggle with this issue as well. I just wish that people took less time worrying over and dreaming for the things they don't have and took a little more time to see the things they do have in their lives. I'm not saying to not dream of a better life. There's nothing wrong with that at all. But the thing is, you don't need more money than anyone else, the most things, or be the best looking to be happy. Happiness begins within. There's no one else in the world like you. That makes you special. Be happy with who are and celebrate your uniqueness. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with similarities with others and with staying in shape, looking nice, or having goals. Just don't let those things become your life and have life itself pass you by.

I want pizza!

Wayne, as always, you tell a story in the most wonderful way. Thank you for an awesome story. Well done my friend!

WOW!!! I'm a huge Tom Clancy fan and I've read every book he has authored and co-authored. This piece of work ranks along side with his work. A masterful job in every way. I surly hope you published this work, because I can see "Let The Music Play" making the New York Times' best seller list. Awesome Job!!!

I can't wait to read the next chapter

Being native of the Appalachian Mountains, settled by Scottish and Irish men and women, I feel a kinship with the people of the British Isles, particularly Scotland. I offer caution to my brothers and sisters of Scotland. Following majority rule isn't always the wisest course to take; but whatever the outcome, I wish them well.

I think KC nailed it on the head "KC, Would I have a trick up my sleeve? Okay, so I like to toss the occasional curve ball at my reader, but I always give you clues as well. -Wayne" Deny all you want, but I have you know, I'm a good curve ball hitter Good story Wayne!

I must say, I like where this story appears to be going

In case you missed it, I've posted a new chapter in Trials and Tribulations. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it and every other chapter. Please, it's the only reward I get from writing. I don't mind a critical review if it's constructive.

I loved this chapter and I really look forward to the rest of the story. Wayne, you are a truly amazing story teller!

A very good beginning. I hope you will and I encourage you, to continue

There are many kinds of ugly

The same McCray It seems the boys are living an interesting life.

I hope Roger is the true friend he seems to be.

I agree, Joey needs people that truly cares for him.

I'm really glad you're liking the story! Again, a big THANKS for the review!

Almost anything would be better than living with that type of parents. Thanks for the review!
