Brayon

Thank you, Goodie for all the comments that you left since the start of this series. I'm truly appreciative of you taking your time to read my story, and leaving comments. The series isn't over, yet. The next installment will be the final for the series. I have a good chunk of it already written. More Jeremy and Travis goodness, and Giles explaining himself, and lots of other good content. Nine chapters are rewritten currently, and I'll start posting once I'm done with the story.

Goodie, thank you for reading and for the comment. Adam is in a position that if I was rich, I would hope I would do the same thing. I like to help people, and I like to take care of those that have been good to me. Adam's instinct and judgement on Rob and Giles is a little clouded. More in the next installment on that. And there is a Adam and Giles talk that happens. EDIT to Add: The poem was one I came up with, and some refinement suggestions from @Mikiesboy. If you haven't checked out his stories yet, tim is an excellent writer and poet. I highly recommend checking out any of his work.

Thank you, Goodie, for reading, the comment, and the excellent feedback. I have several couples in my story. Adam and Duncan, Robert and Giles, Brayon and Chandon, and Jeremy and Travis. My favorite couple is Jeremy and Travis, followed by Robert and Giles. I'll say this about Giles... that little pain in the ass changed on me. I wanted him to be a bad boy, and in the next installment, still unpublished, he goes, "I know you're the author and you have the big plot for me and Rob... but I'm actually a sweetheart, not a bad boy." So, I go, "okay, you all tell me what to do with you." And Tampa Chronicles 4: True Family Always Has Your Back, changed on me. TC4 isn't finished yet. I actually started back over, redoing what I had already done, because I was rushing to an ending, and decided that "nope. I'm not rushing." It may take me a billion chapters, but TC4 will get finished and published.

You're just part of the Bay right now. Same with us. LOL. The rain is needed, but damn. The skeeters are going to be bad as hell in a few days.

Awesome! You're in FL too! I'm over here in South Tampa.

It been pouring here for two days now. Tropical system came over from the Pacific into the Gulf, and now its swampy out there. Which we need, to refill the aquifer, but it's playing hell on the Asthma.

I agree with you Mike, and I wish for that time too. I've always said, I hate using labels, but I use them them like everyone else.

Just a thread to post about Gaymer things, and memes... To start: The Elder Scrolls Online, don't nearly have enough ass slider. Can barely get a bubble butt on my Khajiit.

That last one reminds me of "beer butt chicken." 1. Take a beer can, we've used a tall boy, pop it open, drink a little. 2. Cut the top open, and shove in some herbs and spices into beer. 3. Put the can in the rig-stand, in the center of the 9x13 pan. 4. Lower the chicken over the can, cook in 350f oven until done on a meat thermometer.

I think I own that one @Reader1810. There was a couple that came up on Amazon Kindle as $0.00, and I snagged them.

Thank you for the excellent feedback, Goodie. At times when I was writing this chapter, it was hard to see the keyboard for the tears.

Thank you, Goodie, for returning to Tampa. 🙂 Jeremy is very special to me, as he's based on my real life best friend. Asexuality is unique among the sexualities, and Jeremy's, and my friend's, is a bit more complicated. Not really a spoiler, but will come out in the next installment, is Jeremy has a bit of autism too. Just like my best friend.

A fellow Caramel addict? I go gaga for pretty much anything caramel.

Speaking of tea... I was bought a box of this: Haven't trued it yet, but planning on making a mug tonight.

I'm not partial to Ice Coffee, unless its a Caramel Frap, Double Blended w/ Heavy Cream and four extra shots. That's my standard Starbucks order when someone asks if I want one, and they are buying. LOL. But I found this recipe for Whipped Coffee. Warning, its sugar heavy, but you might find some alternative that works. Only made it once, I thought it was really sweet and powerful, and I was awake for a week. LOL. Also have you noticed most food blogs be like:

Totally not weird at all. LOL. When I was active on the NWN Server I played on, one of the things that we did was fantasy character builds. Neverwinter Nights, for those that don't know, was based on D&D3.5 and had forty levels to work with. The most powerful character I had was a Cleric 10 / Confounder 30. (Confounder was a paladin type holy warrior, custom class, that was based on CN and serve the god of Chaos, Forian. Primary weapon was the Flail.) Given a few mins of prep, his spell buffs ran off the screen, and could go toe-to-toe with legendary dragons, and only need two heal potions if I was fighting an AI controled one. If a DM possessed the dragon, then it was a toss-up who would win. It was fun.

YES!!!!! Warlock, and Magus right there! Perfect!

I don't poke my head in the lounge that often anymore, so first I saw this thread, and hadn't seen that Kickstarter either. Thanks for pointing out both. 🙂 I like turn-base games, and real-time games. Or single player games I can hit pause and go "hmm..." in. Neverwinter Nights 1&2 in Single Player mode (Or if you're logged in as a DM on a PW Server 😈 ) was good in SP mode. Balduer's Gate 1&2, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale 1&2, and almost all of the Final Fantasy games and Kingdom Hearts were great for turnbase. Nothing like Min/Max'ing a character to get the best of all combos. Half-Elf Warlock will always be my favorite in D&D 5.0. In Pathfinder, I was partial to a Magus Build.

A spring chicken perhaps?

Excellent chapter! I agree with George that Alex's sneaking out did deserve to be punished, and that the punishment is pretty light. I can see Alex and Harry working on Alex's new Instagram and other social media together. Perhaps some joint TikTok videos? Well, if Alex can get Harry more confident to do it. Ain't going to lie, worried about Jennifer, but I think Jill and George might be able to shield the boys for a time. George taking a couple of weeks off was a good idea, and for some reason, I see George and Jennifer not lasting long. Perhaps a freshly divorced George and his new girlfriend Jill might make a better parenting choice for Alex and Harry?

I've only ever had store bought hummus, and I've never found one I liked. The "I" word hasn't been said in a while, but... the Instant Pot just went off, so dinner is ready. Later. Southern Style Pulled Pork, Mashed Potatoes, Green Peas, and Southern Style Cornbread

I think you shared something similar to these before, and that recipe was to die for! Only made it once, as I lost the link, but I will bookmark this one to try again.

Oh, I give a lot of credit to the father of fantasy, one of my favorite genres, but I've used Fellowship of the Ring as a sleep aid several times when my anti-insomnia meds aren't working. About five pages in, is when I usually pass out. It's just my opinion, that the Peter Jackson adaptation for his epic movies, are far better than what little I have read.

Those LOTR books are perfect for curing insomnia. Tolkien was a crap writer, and can put anyone to sleep.

Thank you very much, Goodie for reading My Son and for the comments you left. I'm truly grateful for them, and your feedback. I think you will like Jeremy's story which is the next one.
