  1. Nothing about love makes sense… not for me and Brent, anyway, and from where I sit, not for you guys either. Love doesn’t just disappear, remember? Brent told me he loved me, yet I did nothing—I watched him walk away without a fight.” So this is also true for Hank and Chase. Everything is still possible as Chase will be more proactively

    Five Steps

    The last step scares me. Stay with people who can support you. I wish you feel better soon and send you my strength
  3. Have you heard of your friend?
  4. I hope your friend show up and is okay. Hold yourself together and don't drink! Look for other friends or things to do, bug don't lose yourself
  5. Yes you are the old captivating writer as ever. I enjoyed this chapter and the comments. I can understand the different preferences for both Chase, Hank and Cindy. But mostly I agree with Timothy M.

    Chapter 1 Mired

    ‘Thanks for reading this new endeavor of mine. It was written during a very tough time for me physically and health-wise, and was a writing process like none I've experienced before.’ This tough time has also affected you mentally and has probably inspired you to write this story. And that is normal and good. Depression is a common illness but is often not seen or understood. I see it around me. That depressed people can do strange things and will therefore be rejected by others. But caregivers deserve attention to. Prolonged a depressive person around you is difficult. These caregivers also deserve our attention to know that they are appreciated. I have read the comments with interest and I wonder if after a number of chapters when we know more the comments will change. You don’t have to be afraid that people drop out because you're too good a writer. And you see at the comments that there is a need for this story.

    The Gates of Hell

    That is so nice and helpful, of you, but also so dangerous. You should be proud of yourself but please be careful. And then next fighting big bushfires and rescueing animals also writing such striking poems. Hats off

    Never heard of Turks called polacos here in Western Europe. Turks simply called Turks, or Dutchman of Turkish origin. And we have much of them.

    Chapter 13

    That was surprising but exciting
  12. Thank you for this new story but I would have preferred that you go on with your unfinished stories. Especially Ian’s heart and Unexpected. I am already waiting so long.

    Meat Meets Veg

    Thank you for this fantastic epilogue. It was a great surprise and what can you three do together well.
  14. A touching and lovely story of a family which keeps a family tradition alive. Fit for Christmas time and a beautiful ending of this advent of stories. Thank you three for this wonderful time-consuming project . Merry Christmas
  15. Or Sandy’s mom wanted to hide her relationship with Sally and Sally disagree. I think this is more likely the case because as soon the mom knows how her son thinks she is on the phone with Sally.

    A lovely story and update of CJ and Owen. Merry Christmas
  17. It is easy to get used to it, but make sure that there are no more unhealthy products in the house. You are doing well, but don’t forget to replace the lentil from other legumes. That brings the much needed variation. See for example https://www.voedzaamensnel.nl/hoofdgerecht/supersnelle-volkoren-couscous-met-kikkererwten-of-linzen-of-kidneybonen-of/ use a translator. and no more Italian sausage in a soup. Use chicken.
  18. W I think that there is no reason voor panic and that you must not refuse certain food for fear of high cholesterol. So is milk important for calcium intake , folic acid and vitamins B. Choose only (semi-)skimmed milk. In eggs is vitamin D. But eggs are rich in cholesterol. You just can keep eating eggs but no more than twice a week. If you will eat less meat, which is good , then you must get your protein from somewhere else such as milk and eggs. You need cholesterol but there is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. The bad cholesterol is in saturated fat, such in meat, milk, cheese , , and butter. The good cholesterol is in (multi -) unsaturated fatty acids. Found In vegetable oils (olive oilp)and fish. They will have a positive effect on cholesterol levels. Nowadays we know that it's about the right balance between the good and the bad cholesterol. Also daily exercise lowers cholesterol levels in the blood. Vitamin D is only 10% from the diet (mainly from fatty fish and cod liver oil) In vegetarians is more often low vitamin D levels seen than in meat eaters. The remainder of the Vitamine D is produced in the skin by sunlight. Therefore it is important, even in winter, to be at least 15 to 30 minutes a day with unveiled face (and if possible hands) outside, even if it is cloudy. You can see that what is good for de vitamine D and calcium is not always good for the cholesterol. So I recommend a visit to a dietician. But with moving to a healthy lifestyle in the outdoors you come a long way. I am a dutch public pharmasist

    Epilogue

    A fitting end to a good story and well-timed. But because of the treat of Valkyrie, Cole Matthews and Aditus with "Our Christmas Cookbook" I expect now the recipe of Orbin's spicy Italian sausage, kale and potato soup.
  20. I agree. And I am already put on the wrong track. I thought the recipe would be the cranberry sauce.
  21. Cia ? Everything works except maybe the partner thing

    Ted? I thought the name of the dog was Ed.

    Chapter 1

    A lovely story. But I would also love a Christmas story about the people from “The Morgan Lore”, my favourite story of this year.
