Self reflection and questioning thoughts helps us grow, I think.

It is so important to not question your gut and demand more answers. I saw that with my aunt when every doctor was telling her it was her diverticulitis causing her stomach pain. She finally said okay, and it turned out too late, that they were wrong. Alan knew his child. Parents know. Thank goodness he found a doctor willing to listen and believe him. Thank you, Val.

Oh my God. Lex made me so furious. Who does stuff like that. I hope he meets his karma soon. Tom, poor Tom, is a good man. To go through this unkindness for an unworthy ex.. Hopefully, Dan makes up for it! Thanks Northie.. Good story.

Oh.... Happy Saturday, all!😄

Ugh... the dentist... good luck, I hope it’s not too painful. I swear I have singlehandedly put my dentist’s kid through college. I’m currently funding her 2nd...🙄

Have a good night, my peoples. See you tomorrow... 🙂

Sometimes these recommendations are weird and out of place. Like what did I ever order to make you think i’d want that weird food item or toys for a kitten I don’t have! Lol.

Firefly.. so Yes! @MichaelS36 Thank you for that amuse bouche. 🤗

Only that I may get up to all sorts of mischief? 👇 Like that... That’s not an admission, Reader!

Umm...depends? I walked into that, didn’t I?

It does no one any good to leave me unattended in here.... jus sayin... *drums fingers and looks around* 👀

Best thing to come out of writing these books.. Love you..

A great story. I enjoyed it very much. I will have to check out the New York Holidays stories. Thank you..

Routine and repetition day in and day out can be so tedious and soul draining. I’m happy Fabian actually listened to Devon and did something. Hopefully they find ways to keep it up ever so often. Im also happy that Samuel sought Devon out. All it takes it one success story to make it all worthwhile. i enjoyed this Puppi. Thank you!

Tim, I loved this! Another delightful story involving the mysterious fire extinguisher, who had to be put out in the hallway. That made me giggle. I’m happy for Hugh. His grandmother is a special lady! Also, you wouldn’t happen to have a spare Bart on hand would you? (Asking for a friend) Thank you, Tim.

What a wonderful, love story Gary. There’s that special Gary touch that makes it perfect. It’s so easy to be right in the scene with your characters. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you. xo

Have a good night, everyone..

Hello all!! 😁

Where to begin Carlos! Congratulations! You have done something truly wonderful with these books. It’s an amazing achievement and a great body of work. Thank you for giving us CJ, the Elite and the Squad. All the 2nd and 3rd tier players too. I have learnt a lot from their adventures and misadventures. I have also lived vicariously through them.. And how! Lol This final chapter is bittersweet, but so very wonderful. It’s been a great ride and I look forward to what you have next for us!! xoxoxo

I apologise for the long delay in response, Marty.. A homicidal stalker might have been great too, though not as fun! Lol. Thank you for reading and commenting. I do appreciate it. 🙂

Sorry it took me so long to get here, CG.. Not so sorry I sort of led you sideways with the stalker idea though! Also, don’t know if there’s more to write about this group. lol This was fun to write and I’m glad you enjoyed it. I truly appreciate you reading it.. Thank you. 🙂

Thank you, Northie. I am sorry it took me so long to respond. I am grateful that you took the time to read this and I’m glad it was a fun read for you! 🙂 Ghank you again!

Safely home.. and thank you! Have a good night! xoxo

I don’t always purposely talk about the things that I do outside of school, but I’m feeling especially raw and emotional. This is helping me keep it together. I just got done reading the remembrance to the Pulse victims and Mac’s poetry update. I am right now sitting in a church in Greenwich Village, (NY’s gay Mecca), waiting for a meeting and training to begin for The Stonewall 50 WorldPride March. This year I will actually be in the crowd and not behind the scenes. It is especially poignant that this meeting fell on the anniversary of Pulse. Across the street, The Stonewall Inn is decked out in Pride flags and posters. People are honoring the victims, and it’s just so somber. (Also 98%of this crowd is LGBTQ+ and I see no flames or fire or brimstone)😝 I am glad that I’m here tonight though, because it matters. Whatever small thing you do in support of your friends, or family. It feels like solidarity in here, and @MacGreg there are more that 2 boys or girls trading kisses.(mostly in greeting, but still) And they’re not even around the corner Oh, and hello everyone! 👋

It is very hard, yet sobering to read these. Thank you, tim and AC both, for putting this together. The hashtag on Twitter is Honor them with action. I hope we all find a small way to do just that. And let’s also remember the survivors. As they continue to heal may they find peace.
