  1. LOL! Just not to give away any hints.

    In your chapter end notes you asked: Should I continue the story line Two words for ya - Hell Yes!

    Just an update

    Over qualified is a cop out that really means "I have a nephew who needs a job"! Hang in there Wayne - you have friends like us who will always listen when you need to vent!
  4. Enjoy your day!
  5. How does one "drink their face off"? Cole - the trick to my being able to play here is that I need to remember what chapter the readers are at, and not say things that might relate to chapters that I have edited but have not yet posted. In this case you haven't gone into Mir's issues too much yet so I get to speculate and play like the rest. Some of the other comments I can't touch cause I know too much!
  6. LOL no hint - i don't know any more than you on Mir at this point. My insights to the story lie in other areas so I get to play a little too!
  7. I guess that would depend on if you equate purity and innocence. He has certainly lost the latter.
  8. lol would take more than that to kill the thread! Edit to add: I can totally see a major case of PPD becoming one of her issues!
  9. Sunday school teacher huh? That may explain some of the disapproving attitude we have seen the man display! Looks to me like Chad isn't the only character has some learning about life to do. Nicely done sir. I can easily picture the look on Peterson's face. All i need do is substitute a mans features in the look my mom gave the dancer the first time I took her to a male review and the gent would not let her put his tip in his hand.
  10. How about this one? "Never rode shotgun on a hearse before."

    What is it you told me? Want something done fast? Ask someone who is already too busy - or words to that effect.
  12. Will Brad never learn? Being a parent I appreciate the urge to protect your child, but I also know you can only do your best to teach them right from wrong and then trust them to make the right decisions. That and be there to pick up the pieces if they fall.
  13. Planet of the Apes But I am not sure if it was the 1968 origination or the 2001 remake.
  14. Not saying someone can't - or should not - Just saying there are lots more factors. I went back at 6 weeks too. A friend of mine did as well. I had no issues, she ended up in an inpatient therapy program by the time the baby was 3 months old.
  15. Quoted from Irritable1's review: Must admit I'm a bit surprised that a counselor would tell any parent that it's too soon after their baby to attend college--as long as daycare is available, either a man or a woman should be able to pull it off. Something you need to remember, at only 8 weeks postpartum, Mirabelle could very well be feeling the effects of postpartum depression, a chemical imbalance common in first time mothers, and can be quite severe. So much more than a simple case of the baby blues! I think the advice to take a very light credit load was spot on, more could always be added next semester. Mir had already shown signs of depression and moodiness. Taking on the stress of a full credit load on top of being a new mom and a new wife all at the same time could add up to disaster. Can it be done? Certainly. Has it been done? Probably. But the real question here is SHOULD it be done?

    I need to rant...

    Something was said in my hearing this morning that makes me want to sound off. A supposedly learned man made a very sweeping statement that condemned an entire group of people. It was a basic case of prejudice, but rather than an ethnic group or the gay community, it was pretty much anyone who did not hold a college degree from the "right" university that he was condemning. Why do people feel they have a right to pass judgment on people they neither know nor care to find out about? There is no way the man this morning could have possibly spoken to so much as a tiny fraction of the people involved in the slight, let alone been able to make a judgment as to if they are educated. Yet he felt confident enough in his knowledge to make sweeping statements condemning a group of literacy volunteers. Seems no one, in his opinion, should be "teaching" without a degree. Uneducated rubes, as he called us, have no place being literacy volunteers. Well please allow me to offer my “uneducated opinion”. It is uneducated as while i did attend a well respected university, I never completed university study. Life simply got in the way. But life itself is an educator, and when a man who is young enough to be my son gets so overwhelmingly pompous, I find it difficult to resist the urge to turn him over my knee and educate him on basic etiquette. Think before you speak. God, or Allah, or Jehovah, or whomever it is you believe in gave you a brain for a reason, use it! I would like to think your mother would be as appalled as I was at the way you put down an entire group of people. In this case it was a group of volunteers who put in a large amount of time to try and help people who want to better themselves and improve their reading skills. You don't need to be a university professor to teach reading to the illiterate or to someone for whom English is a second language. Gee I wonder what it would be called if someone hated that much on a group of gay men or an ethnic group instead of less skilled volunteers. Wait – there is a term for that, isn't there? It’s called “Bigot”. Yes, I know on the grand scale badmouthing a bunch of literacy volunteers falls way below homophobia or ethnic prejudices. Please don't yell at me for the comparison. I just feel bigotry in any form needs to be addressed and eliminated.
  17. And could some of those effects be broadcast to others like Able III's first sexual gratification after coming into his telepathic powers?
  18. At the time of his demise, Brian Parnell was 27. That makes him just a tad young to be a father to this particular Parnell,as he would have been about 12 or 13 at the time of this one's birth. But as others have said, we have no idea how many cousins could have youngsters now, any number of whom while having no real claim to the fame and fortune of either the Crampton or Hendrickson families may still resent the removal of the only link they might have had to the potential riches.
  19. Ok - So why have none of us noticed/mentioned the fact that Priest is playing with a dead man at the moment? And in that case just where is Poll ( that's the way it was spelled in Ones and Zeros)? Last we saw of him he was losing himself in the data stream.
  20. IMHO? Priest is a well meaning guy who never quite made it out of adolescence, frequently says/does exactly the wrong thing at the worst moment, and usually engages his mouth long before his brain is in gear. Arbor resents a difficult life that could have been prevented had mom not had a prejudice against modern medicine and technology. He is angry and bitter and needs to learn to give people a chance rather than react so badly to every perceived slight. Costa needs to find a way to lessen/eliminate his need for the drug before it begins to rule his life. Pol? I am not convinced he is even dead yet. We know there was video of him being shot, and a copy of an incineration order. Even in this day and age both could easily be forged. In their times? It would be super easy!
  21. Me, horse, boyfriend, full moon. Only thing not naked was his... well you get the picture. Edit to add it was.worth the chaffing and we both headed right for the shower as well.
  22. Oh good lord! Tim, you have created a couple of monsters.
  23. Love it when I am right! It doesn't happen too often!
  24. LOL Maybe - once you explained the existence of werewolves, and a genetic anomaly that makes one change opposite the rest of them
