no ... never are. We do huge collections for their Christmas toys for kids and they always send old chubby ones.. i think there are only like 4 hot ones..

Fire alarm today...and a fire...but not much. Back to work ......

Nope we dont...doesnt matter though...we all need human contact and whether they did or didn't they needed each other in that moment.

Dogs are .not toys...they need effort and if you aren't gonna give them that dont get one. Passing them around like old China is cruel.

They say life is for the living. You cannot live on memories ... they will not hold you on those dark cold nights when you need someone. So i understand, plus Paul has been there before, it's not a new place for either of them. I get it. I wait to see where Paul will go ... personally i'd pick a nice open relationship with an open bi-couple. But that's just me ... i'd be very happy in an open, honest, gay relationship. Not that i'm not happy, i am, but yeah i can see it.

malinger verb | muh-LING-gur Definition : to pretend or exaggerate incapacity or illness (as to avoid duty or work) Do you know someone who always seems to develop an ailment when there's work to be done? Someone who merits an Academy Award for his or her superb simulation of symptoms? Then you know a malingerer. The verb malinger comes from the French word malingre, meaning "sickly," and one who malingers feigns illness. In its earliest uses in the early 19th century, malinger usually referred to a soldier or sailor pretending to be sick or insane to shirk duty. Later, psychologists began using malingering as a clinical term to describe the feigning of illness in avoidance of a duty or for personal gain. Today, malinger is used in just about any context in which someone fakes sickness or injury to get out of an undesirable task. Also see tim.

No Sir, You don't

my turn ... need to sleep.. night all

night Reader xoox

desperation really .. coughing and clearing my throat all day ... tired of it

Thats good you're feeling better... I just worked .. wine and cough meds have calmed my cough down.

We are enjoying Castle Rock .. Michael Sir is silent... 😁

I have been quiet ... i've explained why to a few of you who PM'd me. I withdraw when i feel overwhelmed. I just need a few days usually. Some people know this and just leave me alone knowing i'll slink back in when i'm ready to. I am still not feeling great and that and other crap just pushed me into my silent self. Now i'll talk so much you'll wish i was back there.

people seriously need to chill out in here... the world isn't ending .. at least i don't think so... well yet. lots of us have issues... however i think we are all friends and understand that. so all of ya, just calm the heck down.

Sperm donor.. he was my father. Right or wrong. I wish people wouldn't compare ... homelessness isn't a walk in the park. I wrote these because people had questions and i wanted them out of my head. I wanted people to know what that kid on the street they ignore and walk by might be going through. Maybe then some more will help their local charities. They are in my past. Sometimes they raise their ugly heads and i write another one ... but honestly i hope i don't have to write anymore of them. Thank you for your thoughts and comments ... they mean a lot me, they really do. xo tim in lowercase doesn't mean i think i'm not good enough, i am, it's just respectful of my Lifestyle choices, but i appreciate what your said ... made me smile.

i do Wes ... 💖 means the story is working ... you're a great thermometer

Jared is a smart man and good friend. It's good for Paul to get out. It's hard but for the best. I like how you are slowly filling us in on Paul's past and his family. Another good chapter.

I've received comments i don't like. I usually just thank the reader for his comments. Yeah, each of us has own own opinions. How much we'd put up with or take. Personally, i read to see what will happen. If i dislike a character, i do, but it's part of the story ... there are nasty people in real life. Life is not all sweetness and light. I read to discover the story ... i never expect an author to change their direction because i may not like something. After all, THAT is the story, and i didn't write it.

Awww Tommy, Tommy, Tommy... you know what they say about assuming ... @Wesley8890 never be surprised about affairs ... they happen often, even to people you'd never believe they would. I have the t-shirt ... my husband had one. But like Annie and Paul ... we decided giving up all our history wasn't worth it. Wonderful chapter ...

Yeah, like that.

Nothing wrong with saying.. now Ace, you know i can't tell you..LOL.. but answers to that will be in chapter 2 .. hope to see you there! Just be nice and friendly ... hope that helps. And if your beta readers pop in with some that helps too! LOL

Most readers know you are not going to answer many of their questions about who, what, when and why ... i just sort of deflect them gently...or say they'll know all very soon. They like to hear from us mainly, i think. I know i do when i am reading, I hate being ignored ... and have been and it's one way to ensure i think twice about reading again in the future. I think the story with most interaction for me was Changes ... it was posted after the changes to the website so you could reply more easily. I like answering there in the comments, where the thoughts are fresh, so to speak, rather than moving to the forums. Most people don't seem too interested in forums now.

Those automatic thoughts...not sure they ever stop entirely. In some ways that's a comfort, at least to me. Your friend reaching out to M was very kind. I hope M does choose to contact you one day. You sound a very practical person, in connection with the print collection. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just how our brains work. Considering everything you've written about and said, you sound like you are doing okay ... coping. That doesn't mean you won't cry or be angry, or sad. To me it just sounds as if you are doing okay.

thank you. love is such a difficult thing to describe ... the love in this, the feeling is so physical i think if these lovers ever touched ... it would be the supernova described in the poem by MacGreg. Which is a fitting companion to this even though they were written a year apart. thank you very much for your wonderful comments ... never doubt they are wanted and welcome. xoxo
