LOL just cause I can't do that doesn't make it right Z!

Bet that would work nicely substituting rice as well!

Turn my back for one day and I miss things - hope you had a great day!

Isn't exactly a recipe - just a fast throw together dinner. Hubby calls it "Cheaters Scampi" Prepare a package of frozen fried shrimp ( more depending on how many people you are feeding) Cook an appropriate amount of pasta al dente ( did i spell that right?) Saute garlic in butter and toss with the pasta and shrimp.

**Pulls hood down over my face** Chem and Chem II were my favorites.

I get that babe - i just think people should stop trying to cram each other into categories.

lol was more than i knew. At least i got the sheep inside bits right.

Umm - what is "straight acting"? Shouldn't people just be people - not straight people or gay people? You are who you are. I act like me - i am a straight middle aged lady - i don't just act like it.

Ok, ignorant here! I thought haggis was a dish made with sheep innards of some sort as a primary ingredient? How could you have vegetarian haggis?

When i was working at the school some of the parents barely had time with the little ones. One 5 yr old was dropped off and had breakfast with me and was picked up at 6. ( latest pick up time) Mom and dad barely had time to feed the little one before he passed out for the night.

The whole point of the prompt is to send your imagination off and running Ron. I write what ever the little voice in my head whispers at me. Sometimes it is only loosely related at best!

Just FYI? Fort Dix has not gone away - it is still there although greatly reduced, operating under the new title of "Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst"

Maybe we shouldn't be giving him any bright ideas - he gets plenty of his own!

Tony wouldn't be the first to use the military's old policies to help hide being gay/bi. Don't ask don't tell seems to fit right into his philosophy at this point. I can see a lot of the appropriately aged kids from Claremont enlisting post 9/11. There was a surge in enlistments after the event, and while i am not sure its is true and not just perceptual there always seems to be a slightly more patriotic feel to smaller towns as compared to metropolis' like NYC. I can see Claremont revamping some older health care facility to welcome recovering vets into the area, some of whom tend to stay close to their rehab facilities. There is in fact several VA facilities in Ohio including Clermont County Community Based Outpatient Clinic (Cincinnati, OH).

You already know what I think of the poem, I have been saying it for years now. What you don't know is I am proud of you!

I have to admit as much as I am looking forward to each chapter, as the dreadful day approaches my nerves get a little tighter every time I think about the story. I appreciate how so many of you feel, recalling the events as they pertained to you. Nothing I can imagine can compare to the way i felt as i watched the plane hit tower two from my upstairs window. There are two things we all need to brace ourselves for beyond the event. The effects of that day were widespread. Phones both land lines and cells were next to useless this close to ground zero. All air traffic was grounded for days, rail service in and around NYC either at a standstill or so overwhelmed trying to take up the slack it was impossible. Bridges were monitored closer than they ever have been before or since. The "Tunnel to Towers" marathon run was named for a first responder who literally donned his equipment and ran thru the Lincoln tunnel to ground zero because no traffic was able to move. Remembering the events as we watch thru Mark's eyes will be difficult. The other thing we need to brace for is that Mark researches thoroughly and will not miss the details that never fail to pull at our emotions. Hang on tight people- we are in for a rough one i am sure!

Doesn't everyone in love think about it when a friend gets married? And if I had been the man of honor through all the headaches this wedding had been i'd elope too! Ty dear.

Damn well told!

I'm glad you could enjoy. My own wedding had me threatening my aunt, uncles and father that if they started arguing at my wedding i would throw them out myself wedding gown be damned!They all behaved thank goodness!

As with so many stories, the best have a grain of truth. Each hastle poor Susan faced has occurred to someone I know, with the execption of the man of honors elopement. Thankfully they didn't all happen to the same wedding. I am glad you enjoyed, and hope that if any of the brides recognize themselves they can laugh at it now too.

“So you decided to tell me that now?” Susan looked at her best friend like he had suddenly grown horns and a tail. “Well, I just sort of thought you should know. Come on, it isn’t like I am the groom telling you I’m gay the night before the wedding!” Sue took a deep breath, earning her a dirty look from the seamstress. The wedding gown fittings had been stressful enough. Every time she tried the silly thing on some other little chunk of it hung wrong. This wa

Oh my, the sleeping volcano is starting to smoke. I can definitely understand why Robbie suddenly seems like the voice of reason. His situation with Brad and Stef definitely have some similarities. Stef is surprising me lately. He may be many things but a hypocrite has never been one of them before now. And i am not talking about the sexual behaviors. To be so firmly in Brads corner as to be planning to become a co-guardian yet presenting himself as a neutral party leaves me questioning if he and Will will ever be able to repair their relationship. It totally shocks me that neither Will not Brad has called their shrinks for an appointment yet. One would think a disassociated voice of reason might be helpful in getting one ( or both) of them to think things through to the possible outcomes. Brad may not be able to revoke the emancipation, but even attempting it will further damage his relationship with Will, and he apparently hasn't thought about that yet. Will it matter if he gets his way and has total control over the boy again if Will then hates him beyond any reasoning? As usual you have left me with more questions to mull over than answers to the previous questions. The mark of a great author - starting minds to churning. Thank you.

Perhaps restrained as well - you can do a lot of damage with bare hands.

I can't help but wonder just how much worse things will get between the two when Brad finally figures out most of the kids bad behavior is in his head. He isn't one to admit when he has been wrong, unlike Will who tries to make it right once he calms down and figures things out. All Will is really guilty of here is keeping Brad at arms distance, and reacting badly to being shouted at and threatened. Once Brad figures that out I think he may feel a little foolish, something I can't see him liking very much.

Can I like Zombie's response twice? I have seen teachers belittle students for not knowing an answer or asking a "silly" question. No student should ever be subjected to that.
