Thank you for saying this! I've been trying to figure out what bothers me about TC and you've just hit the nail on the head. I understand that he had little to no say about his life when he was younger and that he has the need to control things, but one would think he wouldn't want to mimic his father's controlling obsession 24/7 with a partner. Maybe he needs to explore a little deeper with his therapist. 🤷♂️

@Fae Briona I'm sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. You have my sympathies. It's not easy losing your mother at any age. Take care of yourself and remember that it's OK to be selfish during your time of grief.
-
God, I just love her. She takes no prisoners. And then there's Owen lightening the mood up. LOL. I'm enjoying how David and TC are moving things slowly and taking the time for all three of them to get to know each other. Great chapter @kbois!

It is always better to divest yourself from these sorts of people long before the possibility of belief can approach reality. I've come to realize these people project their own insecurities and lack of self worth onto others as a means of validating their perceived importance in the world. It's always better to remain silent and simply walk away while they are in mid sentence. It drives those types bonkers when you don't engage. Always remember you are enough.

Thanks so much for the hint @Reader1810! Hope you have a great day.

The Awakening Of Edward Hastings
spyke commented on Laura S. Fox's story chapter in The Awakening Of Edward Hastings
Why do I get the feeling that Edward and Brown "know" each other more than what we're being led to believe? More please! -
Because they insist on stretching out or getting right up next to you to get warm and comfy. Then we get hot and move away from them, but they move right back near us. Oh and nothing says love more than bony paws to your kidneys when they want to stretch. I used to have a Yorkie and she'd run me out of a queen size bed. Dang those small paws hurt! LOL 🐕
-
I'm sorry that happened to you. You seem to have good rules in place about lending and paying back. It is that person who has lost by trying to take advantage of you. People get nasty when they are wrong or they are trying to continue the con. Please don't let that shut you off from the world and stop you from trying to help someone else. You never know when that one small act of kindness can change another person's life forever.
-
Thank YOU! I can't wait to try it.....both ways!
-
O.K. If you're going to throw something like this out, a recipe or link is required! LOL. Seriously @mollyhousemouse any help would be appreciated!
-
My grandmother was 100% Italian and she wouldn't make it. She wouldn't make polenta either. Both are a PITA and your arms want to fall off from all that stirring. I leave those two dishes to the restaurants. 😉

TC might get a little miffed at that. Someone stepping into his Lyssa territory might cause a bit of jealousy. 🤣
-
Have you tried Krud Kutter? Don't know if you're in the US, but you can find it at Lowe's home improvement.
-
Hey Rick- Doing good here. It was a tough day at work. My boss tried to lob a big sack of you know what in my direction, but I threw it right back at him. I'm not taking the heat for his blunders. It's warm and sunny here. Hope you're doing well.
-
WHEW!!! Thank goodness Sinclair said yes! I think that TC and David have gained a lot of knowledge about what not to do, so hopefully this new relationship will work. But first David needs to make a call across the pond to see if this will be Dr. Charlotte approved. LOL Speaking of approval, Sin has to pass the Lyssa test, but I don't think that will be a problem. Great chapter @kbois!!
-
No slow burn here! You went from 0-60 in like 5 seconds. LOL. I can't wait to find out what Lucas reveals in his one-on-one session. I'm really enjoying this story.
-
But that is the difference. You did a pm and kept things private. If that author had such an inflamed ego that your help was turned down, then it's his/her loss as well as the readers loss. The one I'm talking about goes after one author in public time and time again. He offers nothing but grammar and typo criticism in the comments. He never makes any comment about the substance of the story and he's never made any meaningful comments on any authors story. I tip my hat off to anyone who offers to help with editing. I can only imagine that it's a difficult job to undertake and probably a thankless job for many. Thank you for your insight @Kitt.
-
Good morning tim. You're exactly right. Apparently there are a couple of trolls circulating here on GA who have nothing of substance to offer other than snide commentary. There's one joker who thinks he's the editor supreme, yet he fails to offer his expertise to authors here on GA to help them with proofreading or editing. Like @mollyhousemouse said, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." I've been busy reading your works. Just finished After The Past. I loved it. Although it's set in the future, it has this "old west" pioneer feeling. It hits really close to home given what's going on in the world today. I hope you have a great day!
-
I'm sorry that you are having problems sleeping but this just made me giggle. I hope that everyone in DiC has a good day. Stay safe and healthy everybody!
-
Well said, @Philippe Apparently this member fancies himself the guru of proofreading and editing. But he never publicly volunteers to offer his "services" to any of the GA authors. Typical behavior for a troll. Pay him no mind @Laura S. Fox. Your readers greatly appreciate your efforts and talent.
-
Wonder who that was? LOL
-
There's not a thing that Brad can say in opposition. And you just gotta love how J.P. can come out of left field with the occasional snark. I too shall be sad to see this come to an end. Hopefully, we haven't heard the last of this bunch. Another great chapter @Mark Arbour
-
Sure, why not? You could have a full on polyamorous thing going on. 🤪
-
I'm just doing the happy dance because one of my far flung guesses actually panned out! I think Sinclair is the perfect solution to their problem but he'll have to pass the Lyssa test......and that won't be easy! LOL. Kudos @kbois for keeping that under your hat. Remind me to never sit at a poker table with you. 🤣

This is just so sad. Long before Covid 19 hit, I was reading about kids getting lung problems from vaping. I'll echo what @kbois said-- If you vape or smoke, PLEASE QUIT!!! I smoked for 40 years and quit 4 years ago. Quitting was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I felt like pure crap for almost a month. One of my motivators to stay quit is that I don't ever want to feel that way again. If you smoke or vape, please quit NOW!
