Hi Albert! I was not so good last night. I think I had a case of stomach flu. Better today, but still tired from not getting enough rest. What's the Hawaii countdown now?

I don't know how you can pick a favorite. My favorite is always the one I am currently reading. I did love Tied Up in Knotts very much, but what about JayLoe, Boss Nanny and Still You Love Me?

The guys got in, now to get them out again. I was glad that Ases remembered the face of the guard from the break in of the house when Garjah was kidnapped. Not only did it confirm Bouncer's intelligence, but relieved Essell of the idea that Bouncer would kill for no apparent reason. I just hope that Garjah is at most drugged or better yet, he is in some meditative state that was self-induced. Getting out will be difficult, since they will need to become visible to their enemy in order to escape. No sneaking out like they snuck in.

What a wonderful and unexpected surprise Geron! I was missing Pacha and gang in the last Charlie story, but expected them in either the Halloween or Christmas stories. I am glad I didn't have to wait. I like that we are getting a story that tells what Pacha's group was up to while Charlie and gang were involved in another dimension fighting evil. The beginning is captivating and very unusual. I don't remember another sci-fi story that uses stars as building materials.

Hey @scrubber6620! You and I think alike. I thought Rusty picked out 3.5 billion as a rough estimate of the total population of the world divided by two. I chose the word cocksucker instead of blow job and got abou 167,000,000 in 0.41 seconds, but that's changed several million today. I also thought that maybe that was low because I used only the English word, so I translated it into Italian, Chinese and Russian. Italian had about 5 million hits and Chinese about 100 million hits. I gave up at that point, because I realized that even the translations don't include idioms used in different languages, the hits change by time of day and many are by the same person. All I am sure of is that the number is huge and I was surprised. I'm just happy Rusty convinced Jonathan to return to school with the gang to support him.

Hoe?

Hey Laura! Thanks for such a great end to my week. This chapter was so fun and full of hope. I loved Rusty's talk to Jonathan. Rusty definitely knows how to research the net to find the info he needed to convince Jonathan about the interest in the word cocksucking. In the USA alone well over 167,000,000 sites. That's more than half the population of the USA. I was very impressed with Rusty's skills and persuasive talents. I laughed many times and was left with a great feeling after reading this chapter. The new and improved Gang of Great Minds will steamroll over whoever is behind the blackmail. It wouldn't bother me if they take out the Xpress, Connor and Drew in addition to the blackmailer.

This is a beautiful, funny romance that left me feeling so good. I know I will read it many more times. I liked that this story was told by two men reminiscing about how their love started with a young family member. msgnomie is a great writer who fills her stories with love and humor. The story is compelling and the characters capture your heart. One of the great stories in the 2022 Anthology. It is a great way to introduce yourself to the wonderful romances written by msgnomie.

This is a beautiful, funny romance that left me feeling so good. I know I will read it many more times. The age difference when Jensen was 17 was a problem, but but 6 years later that was no longer an issue. During that time, Jensen and Nolan both developed into men who could share their love as equals. I liked that this story was told by two men reminiscing about how their love started with a young family member.

Loving Anniversary is a wonderful short about some excellent people, the Liston-Abelló family. Liebe and Fab are getting married in the Rose Garden, but have to get past President Abelló's requirements to do so. Liebe Liston-Abelló has learned much from her father and gives as good as she gets. The story is filled with humor, love and family. The newlywed's anniversaries will aptly correspond with the SCOTUS ruling on Loving vs Virginia. This is a wonderful addition to the C.J. series of books, and a wonderful sampler of Carlos Hazaday's great stories.

I enjoyed catching up with CJ's and Ozzie's lives in this story. Fab and Liebe's wedding was a great way to get back to the stories I remembered from my first few years reading gay fiction online. Bravo, Carlos!

Five cleverly written short poems expressing the feelings related to both large and small anniversaries in our lives. There is sadness, joy and hope highlighted in the different poems. Well worth the few minutes required to read these beautiful poems.
