    A pretty low base... yes. Let's not forget that he was a lonely man battling on all sorts of fronts that a lot of us never have to face, especially not all at once: loneliness, severe health issues, cold, poor food, problems moving, seeing your health decline, knowing - before Andy's return after the initial disaster - that things will only get worse with every new year... but one of the aspects of Eric's story is the gradual emergence of his inner strength. How else would he have managed to live on his own?

    Great chapter. so life-like. Eric has indeed become more self-confident. Or maybe he has learnt to show his self-confidence and inner strength. I really like this chapter.

    Chapter 1

    Hard to bear. You have painted this so vividly. God, this is going to be another intense story of yours. Thank you for sharing...
  4. I am sorry, but I have to stop now. Have to get up in five hours. Unhealthy, I know. Enjoy your evenings wherever you are in the new world, whether in snow or evening sunshine! em
  5. well, Hefeweizen is something special. Be careful. It can get addictive!
  6. not sure you will count as an alien - in spite of being a Canadian or from a land with so much snow to make my thoughts freeze over
  7. OK. Yes. There has been a story on GA in which one Texan team featured tall - my son - wasn't it? Anyway. I am certainly not the type to bond over ice hockey teams simply because I only know that they exist. I wish all their followers a great evening!
  8. Ice hockey. Must be an alien sport.
  9. well, it wasn't me. Anyway I am avoiding Google as much as possible. Not sure it is at all possible, though
  10. ask for a smooth dark one! perfect after a loooong day.
  11. Thanks. I will. Wasn't somebody talking about sports of some kind?
  12. Oh, I quite forgot... must be the beer
  13. well, it wasn't me who claimed that.... delightful, yes, sometimes.
  14. not quite sure about the etiquette of names here... Actually I have every respect for him and his posts and I enjoy his cheeky side. sometimes he is a bit too serious, isn't he?
  15. that's about the only thing I can think of Hello mollyhousemouse - your name is quite a mouthful. Thanks for welcoming me. I had just been thinking of dropping out - doing the sensible thing....
  16. It has been Tuesday over here for almost an hour now.
  17. hi to you all! Should be sleeping by now so as to be fresh and fit for my next working day starting in 8 hours. Yet far from it... by the way, it is mikiesboy who is partly to blame for me being here. He lured me here with his posts. Following him is dangerous...
  18. sounds like fat bottom girls to a non-knowing one like me

    AP Chapter 10

    How can they bring milk such a distance without it turning sour????
  20. but perfect
  21. I did not expect to like the two of them even better than before. Don being there for Louis in every possible way just took my breath away and him knowing his partner so well was born out by Louis response to Max - didn't he get it exactly right? And wonderful scene in the attic: Louis with his memories and then knowing his husband as the loving and caring man he is. Beautiful! Thank you! Again.
  22. different measurements to soon.... to me this poem speaks of different stages in our lives, how our views and awareness evolve, and that the reasons why we act like we do may differ completely due to circumstance. but the love we feel outlasts these changes - even if the loved one is gone - not much weltschmerz there....

    Sweet and Sour

    Long awaited chapters get read too fast with this impatient reader so I tnd to overlook details and have to read them again. In this chapter I overlooked Louis' reaction, his relief after the last scene, for example. Please do not let POwens get his hands on Don, he might want him but I am sure he can do without such a champion. Max and Louis might need him full time... great chapter again. good nest building for Max

    Life Goes On

    A very promising chapter. What impresses me about Louis here is how he is able to adapt to new situations. How willing he is to change some parts of his life instead of just continuing the routine. I also love how good the two of them are with Max. And now we can see that they will be good together. Good for each other.
