Actually, with Nyf's ability to use his senses, he could use over-the-air internet to establish several connections to the net at once and get 4G and 5G speeds to absorb the info faster. I don't know if 5G is yet available where Derry, Mike, and Cally live, but still Nyf could learn very rapidly.

I agree with @JohnnyC. Looking forward to reading the next chapters.

March CSR Feature: This Strange World Needs a Kicking by Laura S. Fox
ReaderPaul commented on Cia's blog entry in Gay Authors News
I am going to have to read this one. I have read some of the works of @Laura S. Fox back when I was almost never commenting. A refreshing style of writing, and stories with interesting plots, and also humor in what I have read thus far. -
Much has happened in this chapter. I am guessing that Jaxon and Marcus will take the boys back with them to Australia. The question now -- why were the grandparents of Jaxon estranged from the rest of the family?

Actually, there are Amish in Oregon and Washington. The better known Amish groups are in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Missouri, but there are other states with a somewhat sizeable Amish population as well.

Doesn't found like any Amish I know of. There are Amish near to my geographical area, and my older brother lived near a bunch of them for about 18 years. The Amish would let them go. Whether they could "repent" and come back would depend on their local bishop. @Daddydavek -- part of the attraction of a cult is being part of a "select group" which claims to have knowledge not generally available to outsiders. I have run into a lot of cult members who have a smugness about them because they "know more" than the rest of us.

Fascinating, story, @Ivor Slipper. I hope we learn more of these two in the futurre. When will you post the next chapter, since the story says "In Process"?

persnickety - Word of the Day - Sat Mar 4, 2023
ReaderPaul commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
@JamesSavik -- that looks like the dinner at church after my cousin's wife died -- except that there was another row of tables with food! Just on his father's side there were almost 50 of us, and probably about thirty on his wife's side of the family. -
So many wonderful things in this chapter! The planning for the Makarovian Burgers franchising, the historical discoveries, and I look forward to seeing the boys and their parents honored. I also look forward to more chapters of Ark II and Bluebloods.

Well, @weinerdog and @drpaladin -- you are both right. According to dictionary dot com, when the meaning of the word "hank" is looked up there, and you scroll down to the "related words" section for hank, one of the related words is "jerk." Another related word is "pull."

Maybe it is one of the accidental perks of being a Premium subscriber. But I can only see that there is a chapter in the que, not the contents of the chapter. Right now, it is showing Chapter 3 is in the que, with 0 words, 0 comments, and 0 views. I will message you tomorrow and explain what button I hit to see the que. It is NOT obvious, and I discovered it totally by accident.
-
I love this, @Geron Kees. I had noticed you have Chapter 2 in the que but I didn't see Chapters 3 & 4 -- yet. But I think many of us know someone like Donnie. I am aware of one person whom I would not talk about anything more serious than the weather or possibly road conditions or whether the grass is tall enough to cut -- he is THAT indiscrete. I had guessed there would be three chapters. But I certainly am okay with four. I am also glad that Donnie lives nowhere close to Derry, Cally, and Mike from the Doorways series.

The stories BY Ted Louis are migrating to storylover dot us and some of the other stories by other authors are on other sites. If people message me I can give you info. Due to time constraints on my end, it may be in bits and pieces.

I am curious. Even on my old, semi-smart mobile phones, which were only 2G capable, I have never had a problem reading text online, no matter how long the story, if there was any slight internet connection. Although I like chapters in stories, I do miss getting a whole story in one go. I will read them either way, Geron.

I know that there is at least one single-owner website that has a succession plan, but I am not aware of others that do. I have seen several good erotic fiction websites go dark over the years. I would hate to see many others do the same thing. It is a guess, but websites owned by a corporation probably have a better chance of continuing, but as i said, that is only a guess. I am aware of at least two single owner websites where the owner is in poor health, and neither of them, as far as I know, has a succession plan. It is a valid concern. One single owner has multiple websites, and it concerns me that all but one of those could go dark.

gristmill - Word of the Day - Wed Mar 8, 2023
ReaderPaul commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
About an hour drive from where I grew up was an old mill located on state property where a large spring still exists. In the early 1960s, the mill, which still had much of the original equipment, was re-activated. It was fascinating to see the machinery work. About a year later, the mill stopped working because it was not profitable. The equipment was removed, and I was sad when I saw the empty spaces where it had been. -

I prefer chicken gravy or brown gravy. But I don't mind if someone else has their favorite gravy. -
titivate - Word of the Day - Tue Mar 14, 2023
ReaderPaul commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
titivate -- (verb) - to make or become smart or spruce. @Myr -- when I saw that, I had a vision of someone planting a large number of spruce trees, in very neat and long rows. @JamesSavik, I love the term autoincorrect. That needs to become a word for both the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) and the dictionary dot com website. -
I am wondering if Adam sent the two vets to Australia in hopes they might straighten up over there, because they had been causing trouble in the UK. I also predict Marcus and Jexon will much more suspiciously look at any suggestion of exchange work from this point onward. Interesting story.
-
Good work with this, @R. Eric. Unfortunately, humans do need to know the dark sides of humanity. You are correct in having Joel and the others remind us of that in this story. When do we learn what the probe to Tau Ceti finds out?

Prompt #122 - Field Notes
ReaderPaul commented on Valkyrie's story chapter in Prompt #122 - Field Notes
From right below the story: Since I have absolutely no clue about modern middle school culture, I went with my own personal experiences. Middle school in the US is typically grades 6-8 (sometimes 5-9, depending on the district or state). How do your experiences compare to these field notes? In my district, "Intermediate School" (grades 5 & 6) has replaced "middle school." Junior High is grades 7 and 8. High School consists of grades 9-12. K-4 is elementary. Some other districts around do it differently. -

One question has not been answered -- why the exchange was proposed in the first place? The director seems one who needs to be watched very carefully. Perhaps the guys should get concealed miniature cameras and voice recording devices.
