    I hope Bear doesn’t end up in the hospital because of his dad. The intensity builds!

    I hope Taz's parents aren't going to say they are separating/divorcing. I'd much rather it be Weinerdog's suspicion or maybe even a really positive announcement. In any case, Taz always does have another home with Luke if need be. And now to see what Bear decides to do with his future....

    Chapter 61

    pvtguy commented on RichEisbrouch's story chapter in Chapter 61

    As we get older, as Leona said, the parts do start wearing out for sure. We try to slow that process down as best we can, but we all must face mortality. One thing I have noticed is that all of Addy's children, however close they are, are also very independent. They will keep up their strong family values.

    Luke is getting to be more positive the more he is around Bear. Needed this chapter to get to know Bear a bit more, but there's a lot more to discover.

    Hmmm...coincidental that Leander has a job offer so close to town and would be in a permanent position?

    Chapter 29: Down

    pvtguy commented on Demiurge's story chapter in Chapter 29: Down

    Hospice care as I know it does not involve machines. It is palliative care only - usually morphine to keep the pain managed while the patient usually sleeps until the body shuts down on its own. There is total withdrawal of all medicines save for the pain management - at least that is my experience with it. You've done a superb job of illustrating Alec's inner talks with himself. I'm wondering if he is now trying to convince himself to feel guilty for having no feelings or for the anger he holds for her.

    A couple of comments: 1) Many here in the States use "xo" when writing - meaning kisses and hugs. Yes, we have Aldi stores here. Good stuff. I really like the relationship between Luke and his dad and Luke and Taz.
  8. pvtguy
    Luke's reaction are perfectly normal in this situation. Elaine and Dad both should have sat down with Luke the first time she was invited over - it might have been over a meal - and introduced her and Luke in a more constructive way. However, since that didn't happen, maybe a do-over is in order. It's not going to hurt Luke to reflect on his response to her...but the same goes for Elaine and Dad!

    Hidden Secrets

    pvtguy reviewed Mawgrim's story in Fiction

    This is such a well-crafted story of intrigue, murder, mystery, love and spiritualism. Having waited until it was completed so I could read the whole thing at my own pace, I must say I found it difficult to put down even when my eyes said "time" for the day! The descriptions are such that one feels as though they are present and watching the action without being seen themselves.

    Luke is challenging his self-talk more and more, which is wonderful to see. Leander has a lot of things to think about and decisions to make. Loyalty to family is admirable, but expected. Will he choose to make a decision for himself? Let's see!
  11. pvtguy
    If the stalker is spying on Luke, might he not follow him to the park? Again, I am impressed how Taz is able to center Luke. He's such a good friend!

    Chapter 60

    pvtguy commented on RichEisbrouch's story chapter in Chapter 60

    Addy certainly has sustained a lot of heartache and yet she is still the stalwart matriarch. Through it all, she exudes a positive calm and joy.
  13. pvtguy
    Taz is one loyal friend! And yet I totally agree with the Dr. Luke will get no better without more help. There are several therapeutic techniques he could be taught as well as medication to help even out his psychosis. However, I'm still fascinated with the story.
  14. pvtguy
    After spending 47 years in education, I can assure you I have met every one of those guys multiple times! Such fun observing that behavior! Now, will Luke melt for sure? Thank goodness for Taz!

    The High Priestess

    pvtguy commented on Mawgrim's story chapter in The High Priestess

    I also enjoy the psychic observations.
  16. pvtguy
    Luke is going to naturally compare any woman his dad would like to his mum. In that Elaine is apparently the total opposite of what his mother was (at least by his description of her) annoys him. His anxiety and youth do play a part in his perception too. His dad is really laid back and not easily fazed by Luke's outbursts. This is exactly what Luke needs. It might well take Luke a bit to see his dad as more than "dad".
  17. pvtguy
    I agree with @drsawzall! However, I also understand the irrational logic he is using. Having been a counselor for 36 years, I have dealt with this behavior before. It's hard to convince someone who follows this type of logic. Still, he is smart enough to block a number, but that might lead the stalker to get more aggressive too. Great writing, Mr. Matthews!
  18. pvtguy
    I really like the relationship between Luke and his dad. It is open and accepting and based on lots of love! Who truly knows what his dad is needing in an adult relationship? Let's see how this goes...
  19. pvtguy
    Great description of anxiety in action in even a small group! I can totally understand, though I'm not as bad when I know most of the people. I just hate to be in groups where I don't know at least some people.
  20. pvtguy
    I was treated by a doctor for a few years for depression and other issues - like skipping heartbeats - among others. He even told me that I might have two or so years left to live. Finally changed doctors who, after tests the first doctor never did, found out all my issues stemmed from an underactive thyroid which was causing all the symptoms I had been experiencing. It took 9 months to get the numbers back to the normal range, but I felt wonderful. That was 30 years ago and I'm so glad I changed doctors. I have been with my current primary for nearly 20 years now and could not ask for a better person or physician. I do hope Luke can find a doctor who can truly help him!

    Chapter 28: Settle

    pvtguy commented on Demiurge's story chapter in Chapter 28: Settle

    I love seeing how quickly Alec seems to be developing! His anxiety level seem to be balancing out. Now he is going to have to deal with his mother and be a support for his dad. Great story!

    Moving Reasons

    pvtguy commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Moving Reasons

    You certainly don't disappoint with the quality of your writing, Carlos. Each story is not only entertaining, but also very educational. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    Chapter 17

    pvtguy commented on Andre Delport's story chapter in Chapter 17

    So glad you published this chapter...I was getting antsy awaiting it! You do such a great job of description that I feel like I am in the scene as an observer and almost a participant! I have loved the progression of this story from the first sentence of chapter 1 of Never Walk Alone! I understand it is cold there...and here in Florida, we're having very warm weather (upper 90's F) with high humidity. Still, I wouldn't trade for the cold weather - still hate it!

    Chapter 59

    pvtguy commented on RichEisbrouch's story chapter in Chapter 59

    Addy loves to keep family together when possible, or at least keep tabs on them. I have "Addies" in my own family. Yet, the younger ones don't feel the same familial links - more just their own nuclear families. Family reunions don't seem as prevalent these days...much like the lack of them in Addy's family.

    Chapter 27: Easy

    pvtguy commented on Demiurge's story chapter in Chapter 27: Easy

    It is so good to see Alec challenging the negative thoughts and allowing himself to enjoy the positive. He is much stronger than he allows himself to believe and that is showing more and more. Finn, too, is relaxing more and more around Alec. Now on to Alec's adventure in moving...
