  1. The pics are great examples of your points @Backwoods Boy! I would add that the pump, hoses and nozzles are definitely not from the 1930s. I think your second point is a very creative suggestion. These misinterpretations would be fun prompts for a fantasy AU story! I would love to see how you would write to one of these pictures as a prompt!
  2. Been there, done that. The good thing is that you build up a lot of immunity to common bugs after a few years, then hardly ever get sick.

    Chapter 8

    Well said Philippe! No matter how it began, a good story will be a source of pride.
  4. Growing up near a small grove of Douglas Fir trees I loved playing in the small forest. Alder and cedar are my favourites for fireplaces, campfires and smoking salmon. I was very happy when you said you gave the saplings of cedars to others because, like you, my favourite tree is the cedar for both its fragrance and beauty.
  5. Thailand has conifers if you get above 1000 meters in the northern mountains. These forests are mainly two tropical species of pine.
  6. My only comment to this, and Gary's reply, is the wait is worth it when you get there.
  7. Hi Page, We are OK. We didn't go out Friday, because we're going out with our friends tonight to celebrate two birthdays. I'm behind in chores and need to get the car washed, but that can wait until Monday or Tuesday. I've been working on Man's story this weekend. It's a light-hearted romance with a lot of humour and a few chills. If you get a chance to read it, you will enjoy it. How are you and the boys?

    Chapter 9

    I agree with you 100% Chris. Of Greg's friends, I was impressed most by Jake. He figured out what would happen and summarized the situation perfectly in the last paragraph.

    Chapter 9

    I continue to be impressed by the new version. This reads very well as the story builds. I think Greg's friends will never betray him. Somehow, they will be brought into the vampire world like Chris and his father. Great work!

    Belligerent old military man? Who, Ox? I'd be careful about what you say. Ox has some dangerous friends!

    I know how you feel, Dan. While editing, I had to take a snack break many times. Besides tissues for both happy and sad tears, I suggest stocking up on some favourite snack foods!

    Great to see you here Chris. I think you will like the Baxter brothers.

    Chapter 3

    You've made some good points, @akascrubber! Michael is hopelessly straight, but also a mystery at this point. Living homeless can really twist how someone thinks about people. We will just have to wait to see his reactions to the Robins family. As sick as he was when Max found him, I doubt he remembers anything from yesterday.

    Chapter 3

    Thanks for the great compliment @Albert1434! I love working on this story, and your comment makes me feel even better about doing this.

    Chapter 3

    Michael and Charlie are lucky to have a loving gay family to help them. They will probably run into a few people who rail and demean, but they now have people like the Robins and Michael's doctor, Nurse Judy and Nurse Donna who support them. That will make a difference in the future they face.

    Chapter 1

    Surprise Craig! I got playing again today, and I thought I'd share this new AI-generated pic of the boys before Max found them. At least the AI got the number of feet, arms, hands and fingers right this time.

    Chapter 8

    I agree with Davis. This is a much improved version of the original. So far it looks like you are doing a good job of sticking closely to the original plot.
  18. Your comment led me to experiment to see how creative the current AI at Bing could be. I gave it a variety of prompts. The last one was this: Create a painting of a single flower. The painting would be in a style created by an AI, not a human. This was the most creative the AI got. I agree with what you said, Myr. However, I will not fear AIs until they develop random, illogical creativity. Hopefully, they will also develop other illogical and random traits like love and compassion by then, and we will be allowed to live.

    I finished reading the series last February. It's great reading, so you'll have a lot more enjoyment ahead! I have the same problem of being distracted here in GA.

    Just take the time to get well kbois. Your good health is important to us.

    Thanks for the earbug Chris! Now you have me singing Ring of Fire. Johnny's version of course.

    Chapter 2

    Craig's great humour is one of the reasons I have so much fun working with him! There are some parts in the story where, no matter how many times we go over the chapter, I still laugh or cry every time I read that part.

    Chapter 2

    ASAP! OK? @Jkeeletupelo are ready and waiting!

    Chapter 2

    What was that line from the first Christmas show at The Boot? Damned, I'll have to go back and check The Boot-Three Years On now.

    Chapter 235

    Like @weinerdog and @drsawzall I too am suspicious about the two thugs trying to steal Pierre's inheritance. Did they attend the business meeting? Were they stalking him when he left the meeting? How did the all end up in the bar together? The events just don't add up. I was impress with how Ronnie and Richie handled the situation. My one worry is what is driving Pierre to drink.
