The Devil’s Deal Brian shook his head, trying to clear the cobwebs. Whoever was at the door would just have to wait a minute. The pounding and ringing continued for a bit before it really sank into Brian’s head he wasn’t dreaming and someone WAS trying to pound his door down with his fist. “Keep your britches on! I’m coming!” he muttered as he untangled himself from the throw blanket and rose from the sofa. “Must have dozed off reading again,

LOL I guess I saw the "fixed" version. I was scratching my head and wondering what Ron was talking about a psychic before seeing your response! I'm with Derrick - good thing he wasn't in the shower when it blew! An entertaining story I enjoyed immensely.

I quite enjoy going out and enjoying an evening in a pub etc. Much more so now than when i was young, skinny and being hit on regularly. Now I can kick back and relax with my spouse and our friends without needing to worry about all the things that can come with being hit on in a bar.

You think its hard to choose now at 20-something? Wait till you have 50-some years of favorites to try and choose from. You couldn't put all my favorites over the years onto one CD, let alone choose one as the favorite of all time. Besides - I have a lot of listening left to do!

If I wasn't afraid of ladders and scaffolds and the like - I would want the window washing concession. One building would be a full time job for several people!

As they say in the movie "Madagasgar" - you got to move it move it!

Back before your time Matt any party that consisted of all men were referred to as stag parties and all women as Hen parties, regardless of if they were wedding related or not. Friday night poker was usually a stag party among my grandfathers crowd. I've no clue why the terms faded from use the way they have. Guess it's just the evolution of language.

Now that is totally not fair - I can't get a skirt with decent pocket space but some of those kilts look like carhartt cargo pants above the flairs.

I know it doesn't work that way, but I have always felt the Olympics should be a time to put politics aside and let the mutual passion for sports bring people together. Too bad they becomes a soapbox so often.

You will have to come back and tell us any non-confidential details you can after the fact!

Excellent points.

I don't think i ever saw Mann toss a tantrum before. Can't say as I blame him though!

And of course - YOU miss the point again. Matts poor, thoughtless and childish behaviors cannot be excused by anyone else's behavior. Even if we were to stipulate ( which I do NOT) that all of Wills behavior has been poor for the last three books - that does NOT make it right to for Matt to behave in the manner he has. Multiple wrongs do not make the behaviors right.

I think I am missing something here B1ue. You disagree that you can choose who you wish to include in your family that is not biologically related? My statement was while you cannot choose who is biologically related, you can choose to include people not biologically related. JP did that when he raised Ace (Andre and Isadores son) and Brad ( Janice Shulter and Kevin Carmichael's son).

We've tried family trees - they come out looking more like a honeysuckle bush or a wild grape vine. I have to disagree with Tim ( big surprise huh?) - while you cannot pick who mother nature sticks you with for relatives - you most certainly CAN choose who you include in your family. JP CHOSE to include Brad - the son of his cousin's wife and the man she had an affair with and therefore no blood relation- in the Crampton/Shulter family. Robbie became a member of the family thru becoming Brad's partner, as did Frank when he joined with Isadore, both of which were choices. Hell - even Ace is biologically unrelated to the family.

That's it! I am nominating you for King of the Cliffies! All in favor send a pc to Connor! When Brad lights a fire under someone he doesn't use tinder and kindling does he? He goes for the rocket fuel! I was just thinking that Stef and I were both going to be disappointed at the lack of drama at dinner when Brad lit his match! Not where I was expecting the family dinner drama to come from but wonderful! Thanks for yet another fantastic chapter!

Thirty two years later I still do not know - nor do I want to - what hubby's stag consisted of. My brother did the planning, and he is one crazy bugger. I never had a big to-do. Went to lunch with the small circle of what I called the besties at the time. Two of the three are still in that circle of besties, so I guess I chose pretty well.

The weirdest one I ever remember having was a long while back. It was Christmastime 1990, I was 6 months into my pregnancy with wings, hosting Christmas Eve dinner for the first time, and came down with the flu a week before the holiday.Being pregnant I was extremely limited on what medications I could take and was not sleeping much, then fell asleep early on the eve on the sofa with National Lampoons Christmas Vacation on. My family members took the place of the cast in the fevered dream, the disasters got progressively worse, and when I woke I was absolutely manic that the evening NOT turn out like the movie.

4:30 pm and contemplating what i want to fix for dinner.

If your point is that there is no right or wrong in the world of relative morality - then why do you keep shredding Will for being wrong? You decided at some point that you dislike the fact Will was emancipated and use that to to say he should be acting like an adult, yet fail to hold Matt - an adult - to the same standard? You say that acting on your impulses without considering the impact on others makes one an ill-mannered inconsiderate lout. What does that make a 21 year old ( read supposed adult) who HAS considered the fall out - not just as it affects Will but Wade as well - and goes out and does it anyway? I can think of a lot of words for that - but I think your word when we were discussing that exec from Connecticut fits best - douche bag . IMHO this is NOT about if Will and Tony are involved. It IS about two supposed brothers - something Will seemed to feel existed but Matt seems to feel doesn't - respecting each others feelings. It is NOT about if Will has grown up and matured or not - it IS about if Matt has.

Head on no bike driver has too much of a chance.

Have a great day and a better evening! Happy Birthday!

I can see some whopper changes coming in Matt's life too, but I am not sure the military is in the cards. Recruits, both enlisted and OCS candidates, are expected to play by the rules, something Matt has shown a distinct lack of interest in lately.

Wayne is good at winding up that little voice and the damn thing will not shut up when it gets started till I write it down. Now, if I can just get it to go beyond a first chapter! Thanks for reading and taking the time to review!
