Oh Look! You are first on six. Surprising! Don't worry, Spyke will be by soon with your award.

Back to @weinerdog again. The last time this happened there was an explosion of weiner dogs all over the comments. Got messy!

Does that really exist?!!! I thought it was just a fairytale. I guess I'll just have to go looking to see if I can find mine. 🤪

I hope that Seth doesn't go back there. He needs to phone Elias and his aunt and uncle and tell them what he learned and now feels about those two #X&!#! _itches. As far as Blake's situation, I know his parents are capable and willing to do something like that. However, @weinerdog came up with some interesting alternatives, so I'll hold out for more information. (I'd love to see both parents sent to jail for attempted murder. @ronyx, please note I said attempted! I'm still upset about Myles!)

Hey Bucket! Chiang Mai has the same kind of smoke problems in March and April. Unfortunately, winds compound the problem instead of clearing the smoke out.

I have a mental block on Seth's egg donor and can't remember the name. Said egg donor managed to dig her ditch to hell even deeper telling the truth. She sacrificed and enslaved one child to save the other. She cowardly and selfishly banished the father of both kids from the children's lives depriving them both of the love and comfort of their father. She constantly belittles and humiliates Seth in order to build up Stacy. Instead of teaching and providing discipline to Stacy to build confidence, skills and responsibility, the egg donor "protects" Stacy from criticism, education, and social growth. Egg Donor created a monster from a small innocent child. I think the donor even wanted Craig to get Stacy pregnant to ensure someone would be responsible for Stacy's future. I have thoughts on the absent father, but will wait for further information before deciding if he is as bad as his ex. IMO Stacy needs to be placed in an institution to help her heal from all the damage inflicted by her mother. Damned by I pray that Blake will survive. His father may or may not be to blame, so I'll save that rant for later if needed. Great chapter @Ronyx! I like that the threesome is now a foursome. It does like they are beginning to pair up, however. Probably for the best.

Colin's report on the surprising events at the home had me wondering why the cook had changed so much. I am happy that this has led to the idea of the boys learning to cook. Christian's behaviors have gone well past irritating. It seems he too has changed from the nice young man he was before his marriage. I am suspicious about the reason he has postponed his trip to the US, as well as his needing time to send financial information about Pierre's finances to Armand. I think it was mentioned that Pierre's family was not rich so the financial information should be easy to supply. There are a few questions that arise from this thought. Was Pierre's mom richer than I remembered? Did Arnaud set up a trust for Pierre? Does Christian want to control Pierre's inheritance while others keep the boy? What has changed Christian?

Hi Man! Where you live is a perfect climate for growing orchids indoors. Contrary to common belief, orchids are not too difficult to grow. I use to have many when I lived in Portland which has a climate similar to yours. Hope you're doing well, my friend!

Hi Clo! Now Froggy's back I don't want you two sneaking off together all the time. You have Big Sister duties to keep the brat under control.

Hi @Story Reader! Glad to see you here!

Hey Spike! WAKE UP! Drewdo is back to normal and you don't need to feel guilty. He'll only take advantage of that to try another attack on your herd.

Hi Page! Ready for the weekend?

I see you've recovered enough to whine and dine. Hi Drewsome!!

Hi Albert! I don't know why, but my eyes focused on her before I read the question. Top right corner under the flamingo's beak, right?

By your description Dugh, you and I have some health issues in common. I see my nephrologist and heart specialist every three months. They insist on scheduling the same day so they can test for the effects of the medications I am taking and then consult if needed. It takes a half day each time. I also need to take a diuretic, and it caused me to have painful muscle cramps at first. I don't take it every day, just when needed. My local pharmacist advised eating a banana a day when taking the medicine to replenish salts and minerals that are flushed out of the body with the water. No more cramps! I am glad that the infusions are over, you had us worried for a while. I do hope the good they were supposed to do for you still remains.

With their reply to your comment, do you think @kbois/ @Mrsgnomie author is planning a crossover? That could be fun...or a huge disaster. I think we need a new name for the insane person combo of these two. Something like Gnois or Kbomie? I too am a #ReMax fan. I appreciate the fact that we can focus on the same words and come to different conclusions. Thanks for reminding me of this passage. First, I am sure you are right that Max is talking about Reid. It would make one more dichotomy of love in the story when compared to Perry and Kyan. Both couples have a level of toxicity, neither couple can walk away from their partner (that's the real reason Reid is in Oregon), and Max may think there is no relationship (he probably discounts in prior sexual encounters, if any). The only difference is Max saying he can't stand Reid. That quote is an enticing teaser for a great story with the background revealed, a whole bunch of explosive chapters filled with fireworks as Reid and Max dance around in a convoluted mating ritual, and smoldering sexual tensions that end in a HEA. That's my kind of story, and why I'm with @84Mags. Great point about Reid, @Pickalane! It made me think of how much Jay and Reid are alike. I wasn't a big fan of Loe in Boss Nanny, @Cane23. Mrs. G skillfully chipped away Loe's mask in Loelife to show a very different character inside. May I suggest reading the first 4 or 5 chapters, then see if you can put the book down? I would love to see your reactions and comments on the chapters. Yep! Mrs G, @84Mags is right! BTW, As Kbios beta/editor what is behind Caleb's coconut smell? Did she add that to show Caleb has been marked by you, or a sign of how much Caleb disgusts her?

I think MrsG could stretch this encounter into a slow burn as Max and Reid live the Loelife. Max could get Reid to team with him as famous international thieves. Although I do love Sven and agree he would be a great match for Max, those two would be cuddle bunnies. I'm more of a fan of odd couples. Of course, the evil author just turned Max into a one-minute monster. I suppose she could do the same for Sven.

I'm imagining another book trifecta like Boss Nanny, JayLoe, and Super Epic-logue. I'll even forgo the fun of having Reid and Max getting together in this story if it leads to a story about Max and Reid.

I am with you on #ReMax, @84Mags! (Even if I snicker thinking of for-sale signs planted in yards when I read the tag.) One of my hair-brained thoughts, when the family was in Hawaii, was Max joining them, meeting Reid, and forgetting about Perry as he courted Reid. Obviously @Mrsgnomie has a better idea.

Hi Gary! Hope your day is going well.

Good Evening Bucket!

Hi Man!

Hi Albert!

Hey Nick! Nice to have you back. Happy birthday!

I really like Max. Who doesn't? Besides being rich, handsome, and good company he has a loving nature. Now you've added some sexy mystery he's become even more desirable. Is he an internationally infamous thief or an expert/entrepreneur of high-tech security systems? IMO the whole mystery is probably @Mrsgnomie throwing us a red herring. What does intrigue me is Max's reaction to Reid. Max went from laid back to outraged and then all business in just a few minutes. He and Reid obviously have a history long enough for Reid to be able to push Max's buttons. In all honesty, Max's rage didn't seem real. It was more like a show or at worst a testosterone fueled challenge. I'm left wondering what Max's true feelings are towards Reid. Reid didn't seem too upset or try to engage Max in a challenge. It could be a few interesting days until Reid gets back to Texas.
