Happy Birthday BeaStKid!! Steve (Who's once again late for the party )

CJ, I agree with most of what everyone said above. Hopefully you didn't misunderstand my comment of Jon, Brandon, and Chase being background characters in this new story. The way I see it is you're the author, and you have a planned direction you are taking the story. I can not imagine you having any sanity left if you tried to reach that goal while at the same time try to please every reader. After all, it is your story. Now as far as feedback, I'll give one possible reason that maaaaaaaaybe contributing to a bit fewer posting in the forum. I have already called my psychologist for an immediate appointment for after I actually post this . So far in CLiFF there hasn't been any extreme cliffhangers that have made you famous and they may be missed by some of us. I think most of the posting occurs after you give us one of your trademark doosies. That being said, I know you don't write for just the reason of having a number of posts in your forum. Like I said, if you were planning a different direction than LTMP, then don't abandon that plan for what you think we want. Well I'm off now to have a chat with Dr. Feelgood Steve oops, wrong doctor

CJ, I imagine you and I could have a really long chat about the FLDS Church. I live not too far from Bountiiful, the Canadian equivalent of Colorado City. I also live not far from the Mormon temple in my province. In my city, approx. 20% of the people are mainstream LDS. I too have met a few ex-mormon guys who left due to being gay (heck I dated one ). I guess I was surprised in the store owner as I know that usually there is lines between what business a church member can be involved in and the teachings of the church. I know of one coworker, who's daughter ended up marrying a gentleman who then bought a bar in town. Needless to say that the daughter is no longer part of the church. Not far from my house is a large chain hotel that is owned by a Mormon family, and they do not own or operate the restaurant/bar in the hotel due to their beliefs. But that is where the lines are blurred. They own a chain hotel that requires them to have a restaurant/bar. Since they do not believe in making money off the sales of liqour, they choose to give that business to someone else but they are still collecting the rent of the place so indirectly they are profiting from the sale of liquor. General 'feelings' of mine is that the mainstream church is it is actually quite honourable in their focus on the family unit, and one thing I have personally experienced is that they will not try to preach their religion or beliefs to you unless you ask. This is a major difference between JW's and other mainstream Christian Churches. People that have left the church are generally not shunned by their family but do have restrictions on them such as not being able to attend Temple weddings for siblings, but still attend the receptions. I agree with you on a lot of your points. I feel it is very important to not judge the mainstream church by comparing them to the FLDS Church though. What happens there is plainly illegal, and they're not even recognized by the main church. I feel to paint all mormons by the same brush as the fundamental ones is equivalent of judging all Christians by the actions of the Westview Baptist Church. Anyways, I've babbled enough

Funny, CJ is back and the only thing in here that he commented to me about was this one. Oh well, maybe the it was just a little to close to the truth . Damn, just thought that we should have had Joe alter CJ's forum rules while he was gone. Next time maybe

Thanks for the unexpected chapter CJ Good to have you back. I was a little surprised with a Mormon woman working in a liquor store, especially since she was 'devote'. As far as there not being any tequila that Instinct bought, I believe Jim said some of the boys would be bringing their own. It was nice to see a bit of interaction with Jon, Brandon and Chase. I know that this is mainly Eric's story, but it seems like the guys are almost as much in the background as Barbara or the brother's parents. Hopefully they will be around a bit more in the future. Hey CJ, is there any chance of you finding a couple of male strippers that fit the image of Jansen and Keith and pay them to do a routine that you choreographed and post it on Youtube??? You have piqued my interest. Steve

After that statement I was going to explain that in Canada we have 'gay' marriage, not 'goat' marriage. But I guess I don't need to explain that

Well the stock market did crash today and the economy of the world looks bleak..........so yeah, I'd say CJ is back

I think Meeko was saying Blame Me , but forgot to put the #2 behind the Steve. If that was his intention, that's okay, cause we all know where the real blame lies

Well I've never seen a forum where you can scroll left or right before. Figured my post broke something. So I didn't? And in case I did, CJ made me do it, so blame him

Well before Myr, Joe or Steph sees what I've done, I'm going to for a while. Sorry

Well here is everyones post count in here: Benji137Graeme80wildone75TalonRider63BeaStKid56Ieshwar49FrenchCanadian38AFriendlyFace27Bondwriter25Tiger24UEnigma21shadowgod16rbenn514EMoe5713Lugh10Bob D.7JSmith6jessiflash6Jack Frost5MikeL4C James4NickolasJames83Drewbie3Meeko2Dalmatia2Dalmania2lashrac2Rabble_Rouser2jkeeling2writeincode1Jack Scribe1jfalkon1Krista1D and B1Xeran1skoolbou_uk1Kit1Spuggy1Thirdeye1 So I think everyone should get their post count to the next multiple of fifty . So all those one, twos and threes better get busy Edit to add: OOPS, I think I broke the forum

Steve #1 that is

Hey, I liked you before, and I still like you . I've come to accept that people live in different areas of the country because they have different interests. It is always good to visit different cities and yes, I can say some things about other cities that I don't like but always realize that obviously there is something there that keeps them there. Also, to clarify for our out of country friends , Toronto at 5 million people is the largest city in Canada. All 3 major network newscasts are all from Toronto and unfortunately a lot of the news is about Toronto. This is probably the biggest beef for people outside of Toronto, as we figure they don't know there is a country outside of the 416 area code (and yes I'm dating myself with that reference). I imagine Freud could have found a relationship between penis envy and Toronto envy .

Oh Duncan, you've got me going now!!! So you wonder why the rest of Canada hates Toronto so much? I'm curious if other members saw what was in your post that most of the rest of Canada sees in the comments of people from Toronto, or those that are from there and want to return to there. Now if you think I pulled just quotes of your negative comments, go back and with maybe the exception of Montreal, find a positive quote about anywhere else in Canada without a jab in the same sentence. The way I've always felt is that people who love Toronto, or even love it so much they live there, they are so busy insulting everybody else that they fail to see why everybody else doesn't care for them. Unfortunately it is my experience that this is an inherent trait of Torontonians, "We're better than you so there" You do have one point, probably the biggest haters of Toronto are people who have left Toronto and seen the city for what it is. In the end though, I'm not upset with your posts, I just write it off as being from someone that has lived in Toronto . Steve

OMG, it has happened again

Hmmmm, some stats: Shadowgod posted 16 times in the original 517 posts of this thread, or 3.1% of the time. Shadowgod has posted 0, nill, nada, nothing in the 186 current posts of this thread. (That's 0%, just in case ) I am willing to blame CJ, that goes without saying , but I'm more curious on what CJ has learned, acquired, bought, or gotten by illegal means on Shadowgod that is preventing him from posting in this forum !!! So I think I'll put out a S O S!! Save Our Shadowgod

Okay, 700 posts taken care of. Now lets set our sights on 800

I don't know what we are currently blaming him for , so I'll blame him for me not knowing

I'm just waiting for him to get back and personally reply to every message in this thread . I think it is the least that he can do

Sure, leave it to the goat to pop in once in a month and leave us all with a cliffhanger of a post . Train wreck, hmmm. Do trains run to Telluride? Definitely don't run on isolated islands off the coast of Africa. I think.......I guess were somewhat safe...........I hope

My memory must be going on me , I just about didn't post today, LOL. Come on guys and gals, only 19 more posts to 700 or 119 to 800, etc.

And she left the state about the same time as CJ arrived.......

Oh , is it my birthday??? Must be my memory is gone. Thanks everyone, I appreciate the messages. for everyone!! Steve

Happy Birthday Ieshwar !!! I hope you have a great day, one of many over the coming year. Enjoy 19

Thanks CJ So was anyone else concerned when Eric said this: "Brandon and Chase will love it.
