Hello Bucket!

Hi Albert!

It is sad for us that Nonna has left, but her joy in once again being with her husband is what is important. Carlos and Alicia are now proud parents. Their visit was short, but lifted the spirits of the family. Geno and Angela have both a boy and a girl. I think Angela was right. They will both bond closely to Geno.

The stop to visit the extended family in Spain was short, but kept everyone connected. Carlos is doing well as is Alesander and his family. The kids had fun so the visit was a success. On to Italy!

Great cliffhanger. We know the match has ended and the mage is out of bounds, but the ring has been demolished. Did Joe survive his own weapon? It surprised me that even when Joe realized that the illusions were just that not family, that he still was distracted by them. I can't wait to find out who's up next! Great battle !

Thank you Myr. I now have a word that fits my belief system.

Comicality, you keep impressing me with your essays. This one again made many connections to works I have read in the past. Ronyx's Finding Good Trouble engaged my feelings so personally that I was unable to write a review for several days after I finished the story. I needed those days to reflect not only on the story, but to let the feelings generated by it become less passionate in order to write a review worthy of the story. Also, I once again have to note that your selection of videos to illustrate the lesson was inspired. I generalized those examples to think on a video that affected me as a teacher. Immediately To Sir With Love sprung to mind. I mention this, because as a teacher I know if a lesson, like you taught, is good the student will generalize it to other aspects of their lives. Thanks again for being a great teacher.

May the year of the Rabbit bring you good fortune, health and happiness, Lilansui! I love this story and thank you for adding these "extras" to remind me of these wonderful characters you created. It is a fitting story of peacetime, prosperity and hopefully longevity for the story, its author and the characters.

Hi @gdaniel, First there is no need to feel guilty about a feeling or being honest. However, there are some rules and guidelines for both authors and readers. The rules are different for stories which give authors artistic license to tell realistically a story. In the comments, both readers and authors follow the same rules. If you show respect for others and don't post derogatory and offensive words and statements, you should be OK. The GA admin has set up a resource, https://gayauthors.org/guidelines/ with information you might want to know. Hope this helps. Terry

No unfortunately. I am staying home with a cold. At least I get to see the fireworks from the balcony. How are you and Steve?

Happy Chinese New Years All!

Happy New Years to you also, Drew

I have read it, but it is so long ago I am about due for a second read.

Page is right! You are the election denier, just like your friend Donnie.

Hi Albert! I think Drewdo needs some major help. His delusions are exceptionally strong and have gotten out of hand. He must be off his meds again.

Is that how your empire is built? Overruling everyone's votes? 😱

Maddox and Jonathan's word of warning have made Matty forbidden fruit for Rusty. In short, they have cock blocked him. Rusty also thinks that Matty is cock blocking him by insisting Matty's V-card is for someone special. Rusty doesn't realize he is that special one, thanks to his dad always making Rusty feel as if Rusty is no one special. Slicky is OK however, because Slick has not restrictions. I wonder if Rusty realizes that his playing with Slicky's various sexual pieces and enjoying it means he is bisexual leaning heavily to the gay side. He never has let females close to the friendzone. What he does realize is that he wants Matty in his friendzone. What he doesn't realize is that Matty wants something more than to be just a friend. I hope Rusty soon realizes what he really wants is also what he deserves.

I call for a vote! You definitely will not win this one Drewdo! I vote to not join your Empire!

Nice to have you back, Chris!

I also loved the sci-fi quotes. Jean-Pierre is definitely an interesting pirate. You are right, Look Out for many surprises.

Magrim was an excellent author who communicated with his readers with thoughtful and considerate comments. I will miss his exciting, well crafted stories very much. I know he will be in the hearts of his readers, as he starts his new journey.

Hi Page, Hope your day is going well!

Hi Bucket! How's things on your side of the equator?

Howdy Clo! He's getting desperate for new places to bomb.

Hi Spike, Maybe you should get some cans of spray paint to decorate his new palace walls with all the words Drewdo has forbidden while he's in Mexico. Hope you have a good day! BTW, Did you notice the denim mountain on top of the horse's mane? It looks like a good place to.....meditate. Apparently this cowboy likes to ride bareback.
