Has anyone else watched Shameless? I'm on season ten now.

Had a nice walk in the woods. Did battle with some vines that were trying to take two trees down along the edge of my property. I won. One of the trees is really bent, but it should straighten now.

Hello, all!

Such are the ways of love.

Bottoms are so suggestive.

Aren't we all, my friend? I appreciate the kind words, Doha. For me, it was an important chapter to try to get right. Fully committed, their intimacy is about the love they share. These aren't kids learning the ways of love. They both know what it means to find it again, and I believe it shows in this chapter. Sexual compatibility is always important in any relationship, and yeah, they are a good match in every way. Cheers! Gary.

Thank you very much for saying this, Les! It really means a lot, seriously. When I write about sex, it has to include love, or the possibility of love. I'm pleased you want to be in the story with my characters. That tells me I am doing something right. How to support my work? It's easy. What you just wrote in this comment for example, could make for a great story review. When a story is complete, the bottom of the final chapter has a box you can click on to leave a review. When you do that, click on the number of stars you think the story deserves (five, hopefully ), and then click in the box and write your thoughts. Another way is to go to the front story page, and at the bottom of the chapter list you can click to leave a review as well. It's the same process. And I have to tell you, story reviews mean a lot to me. Another thing that is appreciated is leaving Story Likes and Story Recommendations on the front story page under the story description. The story like ids the big thumb, and the story recommendation is the little medal icon. Click on that and then click the boxes you want to include. It's all very easy, but if you have any questions, just ask. Cheers, and thanks, my friend. I hope you really enjoyed Boundaries. It's not very long, being only four chapters, but I'm proud of how complete it feels. Here is a link to the front story page for this story, just so you understand what I mean...

Damn, you made me cry again. Such an affirming story about the goodness that exists in people, and such an affirming ending. Harry and the boys make for a wonderful, loving family, something all parties needed. Well done, Craig. You made me really care about these characters. Cheers!

Lol. I have given you more... in Bearpaw. Thanks for taking this journey again, my dear friend. Happy you liked the ending.

You sweet talker you.

Hi, all.

I just have to say, I love the interest you guys have in Reid and possibly Billy. You've made my morning. Two very long chapters coming up.

Yep.

No worries there... he was just a nosy man who might have been insinuating something. Likely a closeted asshole who deflects from his 'dandy' self.

There could definitely be a story there, one I could explore in great depth, one which takes place after this one, when Lucas and Jubal are settled. We don't know a lot about Billy, other than he appears to have some hero worship for Reid... and if he is gay, Reid would certainly be a man he would be attracted to. Interesting about Billy being effeminate. I'm not sure he is... it doesn't seem he is speculated about, except by us, but he could well be, though he hides it. And I see where he might be considered softer. He does seem quieter, but maybe because we haven't seen enough of him. You're right that we do know he had some sort of troubled past... maybe we'll find out more... or not. Oh man, do I ever agree about secondary characters and their importance. Think about Sheriff Willard, Old Man Corker, Alan Bright, Phineas Lemon, and Will Merrick from Sidewinder. They all made the story better, and even Wes, Lee, Dan, and Will, the evil Sidewinder himself, all of who we didn't ever meet, were major contributors to the story. This author knows their importance to what he does, and I appreciate you making the point. I mean, after all, two of those side characters had their own story eventually... with Larkspur.

Good thinking, Doc, but to answer your question... um... no... the shiney man was just a nosy asshole.

Actually, Will senior is one of the town councilors, but yeah, he might have something to say if the sheriff had that kind of interest in his son. I repeat...
