    Certainly not a red-herring but I was surprised by his popularity. Others may not know what we're talking about, but this is a good example of how useful comments can be in this type of story.

    This is a very useful trick to use. I sometimes ignore direct questions which would spoil the plot if I were to answer, and focus on another part of the comment instead. I try to keep people guessing as much as possible and even throw in a few red-herrings here and there. It's not always easy to think of clever replies to comments, but it can be a great way of keeping readers interested in your story.

    This sounds like good advice. I prefer to reward good behaviour rather than punish him, so I've stayed away from the restrictive collars. I'll persevere. I took him for a really long walk this morning and it must have tired him out, because he was much better on the way back.

    That's hilarious. I've been laughing for a good five minutes over that. My dog thinks I'm crazy. Man's best friend? Sometimes I wonder.

    I was laughing and crying at the same time. I just wish I could have got a picture of the dog's face when I was lying on the sidewalk. He's like, WTF stop playing games. You're supposed to be taking me for a walk, not lying down. No sympathy whatsoever.

    My dog won't stop pulling when I take him for a walk and this evening, he pulled me over on the ice. I landed flat on my back on the sidewalk. He's just so strong, it's difficult to hold him back and on ice, it's impossible. I'm sitting at home nursing a few bruises but it could have been worse. 🚑 Anyone else had this problem with a dog? What do I do, take him to a trainer or can I do it myself? He's really friendly, but a little energetic. I'm tempted to buy a sled and save on gas!

    You guessed right. The boy from out of town had to make an appearance somewhere down the line and it's an opportunity for Robbie to meet a genuine gay guy, rather than drooling over a straight friend or pining for Nathan. Maybe this will be a good move but as you point out there are problems which need to be resolved. Thanks for your comments Steve and a Happy New Year to you.

    Robbie definitely needs a real therapist but he won'y get it through Don or Sue. I guess that's pretty obvious. He's lucky to have Rory as a friend, a guy who as you rightly point out is not motivated by a personal agenda. It's clear that Rory cares about him and is prepared to stand up for his friend when it would have been very easy to distance himself particularly at school. This is something positive in Robbie's life at a time when he may feel the walls are closing in on him. Thanks @tesao

    Thanks for sharing your crush story @SolarMaxx. Sorry iot's taken me so long to reply. It's good that you're still friends. Robbie could probably benefit more from a long term friend than a temporary relationship with Rory, which would likely have been no more than a few rolls in the hay. We will see what fate has in store for him at the Halloween party. Thanks for your comment and Happy New Year.

    Thanks for your comment @Fitzhugh Glad you made it through, no guarantees that Jeff will be able to do the same. Hope you enjoy the rest of the story.

    I was still at school. We were visiting the fire station. We only got one turn each.
  13. Dodger
    Wow, I once slid down a fireman's pole! Just saying.

    Haha. Not a straight bone in his body!

    Surprisingly, I got a ten, but I treated it as a test, and I’m not sure if this was the purpose. It’s not how I would always write or speak. If this were the case, I would be a seven. Also, I guessed one of the questions and one was just common sense. How can anything be more than perfect?
  16. Dodger
    I'm sure no one would be more deserving, but too often people like Don seem to escape having to answer for their behavior. Thanks @wenmale64

    Walter has a good counselor in mind and she's waiting in the wings. There's little he can do at the moment while Robbie is being so defensive but we all know he's very likely to do something monumentally stupid. Unfortunately, we also know from real life, people like Robbie usually end up hurting themselves rather than the Don's of this world. Thanks @Timothy M.

    Thanks @Israfil I didn't want to end the year on a bad note, although it obviously wasn't what Robbie wanted. As you point out, it was for the best and Robbie should consider himself lucky to have such a friend. Happy New Year!
  19. Dodger
    That explains it. Sorry I got this wrong, but thanks for the insight.

    I would hold off putting it on Kijiji for a while if I were you. I think it'll get plenty of use before the winter's out. Is Kijiji just in Canada or North America? Maybe I should explain. It's a buy and sell website.

    Still snowing here but not heavy....... It's January! It's Canada! Not exactly breaking news, I suppose.
  22. Dodger
    Hello Page. Sorry, I only just saw this. Happy New Year to you too my friend, and to everyone else here, of course.
  23. Dodger
    My neighbors are friendly enough but they don't quite know how to take me. They're very nosy around here and I enjoy being a little mysterious.
  24. Dodger
    Hello Albert. The chicken sounds nice. I think I can smell it from here. Or it may be next door!
  25. Dodger
    Haha. You're right, it does feel like Monday.
