  1. Happy Birthday, Drew baby! Sorry I was out of town and out of touch on the actual day...hope it was great.
  2. I seem to be the only one who voted "No". Don't know why; I've never been ticklish. That really ticks off some people. I also have a high pain threshold. I suppose there is a connection. Despite these abnormalities, I really am a sensitive person.
  3. Thanks, Jack. North Americanism it is.
  4. Well, excuse me. Of course you didn't notice; you're Canadian.
  5. Congratulations, Robbie. I knew everything would work out for you. Just one more big hurdle to jump. Good luck with that! Thanks for sharing with us the conversation you had with your mom.
  6. Another great chapter, CJ. I, too, hope that Cody makes an appearance in Changing Lanes. I don't know what Steve would think, but you have my permission. You already had Cody's author fly through the story on a motorcycle...so why not?
  7. FYI, car park = parking lot or parking garage. Parking lots and garages are easy. Follow the arrows and the "Park" and "Exit" signs and look out for the other idiots who aren't following the arrows and signs. Oh, yes, exit = way out. While looking for a subway (tube) exit in London, I kept seeing signs reading "Way Out" and couldn't help wondering how far out the English version of our common language had become. Then there is "Mind the Gap" (watch your step when getting on or off the train).
  8. So, Australian TV calls a quick interview a "grab". Right? What, pray tell, do they call an in-depth interview?
  9. Have a great first day, Will.
  10. Check out http://www.themustardjar.com/.
  11. A grab? Is this what I think or is there some Australian slang I'm not familiar with?
  12. dkstories has released Chapter 3 of Dreams of a Father. Enjoy reading and have a great weekend!
  13. Black bears can be dangerous.
  14. CJ, I think "paparazzi" is acceptable for singular as well as plural in English. It's not an English word; plurals are not formed in English as they are in Italian. If you start writing in Italian, you would be wrong.
  15. I noticed the "near Africa" location. If any of the Instinct crew see General Bradson, it could be devastating for someone.
  16. Will, I read your poetry and find it very interesting. It seems obvious that you have put a lot of yourself and your own feelings into the words. I particularly liked "A Perfect Moment". Keep writing...keep dreaming.
  17. C James has released Chapter 4 of Changing Lanes, Islands in the Sea.
  18. Another great chapter, Duncan. Now we know that Scott keeps his wits during sex. Matt still has problems and his resolve is really being tested. Can he and Luc possibly help each other? And how long until the next chapter? Thanks for a wonderful story.
  19. A quick search of the GA membership list indicates that we have 13 members who are 13 years old.
  20. I bow to your superior knowledge of Facebook. I suppose just about everyone knows more about Facebook than I. I would still urge discretion; communicate only with those who are important enough to you.
  21. Robbie, think about something. Not everyone in the world needs, or deserves, to know. No need to get carried away.
  22. More like a domathon, not quite a wake.
  23. Or, in Kevin's case may have gotten more than he expected.
  24. Robbie, I think that was a good response even if it was not quite what you expected. The only thing that might have been better would be a very enthusiastic, positive response, which is probably very rare. Did your sister have any feeling for how your parents may react? Best wishes.
