  1. Ooops It felt like Tuesday, don't know why.
  2. YAY, what a lovely surprise on a rainy Tuesday - oops I mean Wednesday. Tillykke !!!
  3. But if you hadn't, I bet you still wouldn't have been offended.

    Chapter 49

    Nobody expects JJ to apologize. The family will be fine if he 'gets his shit together' and treats people nicer. He could apologize to Carullo and go out with him once, and if Carullo tells Will or JP he's staying and JJ is much nicer now, I think everything will settle down.
  5. I thought your critique very polite and well worded. I can't see how it could offend, even if the author or other readers didn't agree. Just wait till you see what I wrote for Mann. He may decide to sic a on me
  6. It gripped you by the and never let go until the very end. Plenty of drama, but it worked well.
  7. I guess the most recent chapter is meant to show JJ is so bitchy and mean he hasn't made any real friends in N.Y. Do Stef, JP and Will feel sorry for him or do they simply believe he should learn better manners in order not to embarrass the family? What if JJ doesn't miss having friends? After all, he's never had any in school or in skating? But I suppose it's not very healthy to desire admirers instead of friends and partners. Look what happens if you''re rich and surrounded by bootlickers for 70 years.

    Home Truths

    Well, I don't blame Geoff for being stand-offish, but kudos to Tony for being patient and making the effort to keep close. Hopefully, this will be the turning point and they will get back to and beyond the former intimacy.

    Surprises

    As boring as Hell ! Yes, that would be the ultimate punishment- dull, grey sameness day after day.
  10. That's not fair. I hope you get to take another day off instead.
  11. Melodrama, teasing and embarrassing situations are so not me. But I may give the first story a try.
  12. I recommend replying to any comment you get, as it will encourage others to leave comments too.

    Reassignment

    A good start and lots of potential. I'd expect Holden to be very careful about doing any Liberty stuff at first, or else it might be too easy to figure out who it is, if only a few people moved to the town at that time.
  14. Good question, I'd be interested to know too.
  15. Evening
  16. Tillykke med fødselsdagen ! Cats seem to be a theme, so https://satwcomic.com/christmas-kitten
  17. I hadn't thought about it that way, but you're right about JJ having his safe place and dependable adult ripped away. The same thing happened in Norway during the skating competition, but because we saw the way JJ acted and how poisonous his relationship with his mother was, it made sense the family tried to break it up, and of course even more so, when the truth about his trainer came out. JJ exhibits the same behavior now with the selfish manners and the tale telling - but that should make the family realize he's in exactly the same mental state as before, and of course just as annoying. I guess the point your explanation made me realize is they should offer JJ a suitable safe place and a better role model, before they shred the cocoon. Because let's face it, Bellona is a vicious bitch who likes to embarrass people around her. I guess the family thought 'nice and happy' Carullo could be the role model and the condo the safe space, and they're upset it didn't work. Even if we all end up agreeing JJ has behaved like a spoiled child, they should still try to figure out what would be a suitable way of giving JJ security and a way to evolve as a person. If they start seeing him as a kid rather than an adult, will that change their strategy? Will they realize his need for a parent figure he can trust and love? Someone who is actually present in his life on a daily basis? I have no expectations about all this ranting changing one bit of the story line, but I hope Mark enjoys the passion his tale evokes. But if we're lucky a few readers may take another look at JJ and read older chapters and CAP stories with a new outlook.
  18. Henrik is a very Danish name, so I liked the Viking having this name. I enjoyed the story, and I may read it again soon, even though the whole media circus had me The romance between Ezra and Henrik was hot and delightful, and some of the side characters were hilarious in the best way. Here's some inspiration for your Island story. https://satwcomic.com/the-collection https://satwcomic.com/sleepover-at-iceland-s https://satwcomic.com/icelandic-cookbook
  19. So the main reason for JP, Stef, Will and Darius to embark on this crusade to teach JJ a lesson is due to him grabbing Maddy ? I find that very interesting considering this conversation between JJ and JP. JP is saying the reason they are unhappy with JJ is his universal bad behavior, of which the Maddy incident is simply one case. And that his treatment of Carullo is worse. But you're saying (as the all-knowing author) that the only really inexcusable action by JJ is him grabbing Maddy. Or perhaps failing to admit he was out of line by doing so ? Fine, I'll concede JJ was out of line with Maddy and should apologize. But in that case the rest of his family should apologize for neglecting, harassing or ignoring him for most of his life. Will is the only one of them who we have seen trying to do stuff out of concern or care for JJ, like saying nice things about his skating or admitting his revenge over MaryEllen was clever, but I admit this is probably mainly due to us following his POV. Stef apparently defends JJ, so he must care too, and he (and Brad) did make a deal with Bellona to give JJ entry to the fashion world. But they haven't shown much interest in JJ's state of mind or mental health. Oh, well, JJ will probably rant and rave and bitch, but eventually he'll concede defeat and buckle under the joint family disapproval. It remains to be seen in what way - @centexhairysub has suggested the most scary and epic 'solution' so far.
  20. lol, I guess it is - hope you can get some sleep with no noisy airplanes overhead. Not too bad commute, about 40-50 minutes.
  21. Good morning. I'm off to work soon, but just thought I'd pop in to wish y'all a happy Monday.
  22. Hi Kitt - no early Sunday morning crisis at the barn, then? Or maybe I shouldn't ask in case I jinx your day,
  23. that's too bad, I hope you get them taken down. Gary also found a copy of Morningstar, but it had already been removed.
  24. Oops, sorry, moggy, didn't see this yesterday. Here you go: Good morning, Caz. I just came back from the baker with freshly baked bread and some REAL Danish pastry.
  25. Sigh, well I'm back to hating Nicola and Sue. But I do think Nicola is right about Robbie telling Nathan, but when would he ever get the chance to do that with Don the arch prick and Sue the interfering messing up his life all the time. Both of them think they know best and keep pushing Robbie into uncomfortable situations, and they never listen to a word he says. Daniel is doing his best, and I'm glad Robbie showed some understanding. As for the therapist, Robbie should say he'll go, but only if Don chooses someone recommended by the retired social worker he met. And he should tell Sue the only reason he didn't run all the way to Toronto and got lost for good, was because he met Walter, and she should invite him for dinner as thanks. I'd love to see Walter take Don down politely and sharply.
