    The Pick-Up

    Reader1810 commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in The Pick-Up

    This is when I knew that new guy wasnot a clone, and that everything was going to be good that time around.

    tim, it was quirky and amusing. It was just that tiny little bit that wasn't more than a whisper on the wind. Got over that momentary bit of trepidation quite quickly, so all is well.

    ATGB I

    Reader1810 commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in ATGB I

    Dugh, I have a theory about this, but I need to do a little research so I get the facts correct. Will report back later. As for you Carlos? Invoking my name because you just knew I wouldn’t be able to resist checking this out, eh? Who am I kidding, even if you hadn’t said anything, I would have gone looking. Still, I think my theory will put things to right.

    The Pick-Up

    Reader1810 commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in The Pick-Up

    This made me nervous, tim. It felt like hopes had been dashed. The player may have known “the score”, but it seemed he wished to be seen as something more - I could feel his disappointment in these words. To borrow Dugh’s marvellous descriptor, the “clone” bringing out the “something more” was simply grand. @MichaelS36 As for you, Mike? Thank you for sharing what only you see. That glimpse of tim, the writer, was perfection.

    And you wrote ten. My, but your pen can flow.... You told a good tale, tim. Have to admit I got a bit nervous part way through, but your words put that worry to rest and left me smiling. You make this look effortless, but I know it’s not. Kudos to you, my friend.

    No, no, no A! Don't think about it. Tibs aligning himself with the other grandparents (can't say maternal, because they are anything but that) can only turn out badly. Then again, Adam has a lot of good people on his side, so there is that...
  8. Reader1810
    The maternal grandparents are unbelievable! They disown their grandson, but they have no trouble suing his dad for back child support on behalf of the mother's estate - at least, I think it was them and not just the State looking to cash in? Whatever happens, I hope it blows up in their faces! Grrr..... As for the stuff with Adam's brother? Wow... How do you come back from that? Great chapter, A. Looking forward to chapter 4.

    Rest In Peace Moggy

    Poor moggy. A life full of trials and yet she had the strength and determination to keep going. RIP my friend

    I don't know who they managed to get this tribute put together so quickly, but it's wonderful and humbling and amazing. @BlindAmbition The players on both teams have the Broncos written on the back of their hockey jerseys in place of their respective names. I've only seen one other video of players doing the same, but I think most if not all of the NHL teams have done this. I also one game where the team's logo was painted on the ice to pay tribute to the team.

    I first heard about this in the wee hours earlier today. I'm in tears again just thinking about all - and who - has been lost. It is just beyond sad. And Steve? I did think about you when I read this, and I wondered how this was affecting you. my friend
  13. Reader1810
    Do it or don’t do it. Do do what suits you best. And yes, I did think about how that sounded.
  14. Reader1810
    Will I or Won’t I... Love this title! Reminds me of your musings about participating again this year.

    Nice chapter, A. Apart from Rob’s emotional upsets - totally understandable, of course - this chapter was clear sailing under blue skies. That is, until you introduced us to Tobit. What’s up with him - I do have a few guesses - I wonder? As for that “call me” cliffhanger? Hmm... and uh oh... Looking forward to chapter three, yes I am!

    Being emotional when you think of Ripley shows how much he meant to you and how much you loved him. He - and Micheal - was your anchor as you found your way to the life you have now. The funny stories of Ripley’s antics - even the ones you pretended did nothing but exasperate you - delighted us all. We saw the reciprocal love and devotion of your bond. Those funny stories will push away the sadness, but it’s going to take time. Ripley, by all accounts, was a special pooch. I’m glad you had him in your life to give you joy.

    I didn’t know either, molly. Kind of brilliant, isn’t it’s?

    My eyes are wet as I am unbelievably moved... This is just so amazing. I am riveted to my screen as I read these spellbinding words. I will be reading them again and again of that I am sure. There are no accolades high enough or good enough to express how good these word are and the power they have to make me feel... Bravo to you both! Edit: didn't stop to ponder my response, I just let it flow and wrote what I felt.

    Loved it!

    After reading tim’s words, I thought I should see this for myself, but I’m not so sure. I went to the Pompeii exhibit when it was at the ROM in 2015. While the devastation wasn’t manmade, it was still hard to see knowing the plaster casts were once real people. tim’s words are hard to read, but they should be because what happened and the people it happened to, should never be forgotten.

    I have no words...

    I didn't always like or understand poetry, and my appreciation for this type of literature was close to nonexistent. Then I read one of tim's creations... They run the gamut of the emotion spectrum, but most importantly, they make you pause and ponder about their meaning. And thanks to tim's telling me to interpret them as I see fit, I felt comfortable giving my not so learned opinion in the comment section. So, even if you've never read a poem in your life, give these a try and leave a comment. How you feel about what they say, will not be wrong.

    tim, Mac said it best, so I'm just going to second his true words.

    This one looks really interesting, so I had a look at her list of stories. Looks like I’ll be adding to my To Read List.

    Poems for Michael

    Reader1810 commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Poems for Michael

    I looked up the definition to be sure, so yeah, I’m thinking humble doesn’t quite fit the bill now that I know you better. This I have said before, and tim agrees: you are not his rock, you are his boulder. That’s a good thing...
