Damn right.

“No one is looking at me like I'm a freak. “ 💔 That line broke my heart. Thank goodness he felt the love and acceptance he deserves.

When I finally had time to check this chapter there were over 100 comments.

HOORAY for victory!! Cameron’s rescue was a great boon to the discovery of Neall’s death; his reunion with his parents brought tears to my eyes (but not the flood of yesterday with “For Better For Worse”….what’s with you and the waterworks crank?! Lol) hearing Cameron relay what the scientists said about the likelihood of change was discouraging but I still hold hope for a cure 🤞 I’m glad Elijah publicized his connection with Kage, he’s around folks who’d understand and believe and he needs that. You touchingly, effortlessly display the cellular, unshakable bond Elijah and Tyler share with each other; they know each other’s thoughts before they think them and can finish each other’s sentences-instead it is displayed with their wisecracking shorthand that tickles everyone; it is that shorthand that brings the funniest passage of the story: “I don’t know what the hell came over me. Tom Cruise, Mission Impossible, I’m not," he said sheepishly. "More like you belong in the Mystery Machine with Scooby-Doo and the gang," Tyler rebuffed.” Oh and Hiiii Lex❣️❣️

I am relieved that you and your family survived the storm, I hope the same can be said for the tenants in your mobile park. An apology of any kind is absolutely not necessary; real life comes first and real life hit you in a BIG way….THANK YOU for still thinking of the readers of your story in the midst of great upheaval.

“Make time for the quiet moments as God whispers and the world is loud”

I concur.

Oh. My. God. This was incredible. I am blown away. Among the many things this story did was remind me that you don’t need the whole world in your corner, just one or two people….the right people; Andy and Tori were EVERYTHING; Shay’s dad and Griffin were pretty fanfuckingtastic too. Kudos also to Dr. K. This story had so many interconnected layers, so many nuanced phases of discovery and illness expertly covered and conveyed; this will definitely be a reread but I will need time. Tears run down my face as I write this and I’m not sure if they are of happiness or sadness…. I think it’s a little bit of both. This was gripping @kbois, it touched everything and it hasn’t let me go yet…..exceptionally well done. 💝 I thought the story left me speechless….oh well, LOL!! Thank you. 💔❤️

“Turner Classic Movies” is one of my favorite channels.

Kelly is the biggest character!! Lol. A story about him and Martin getting together and having Noah would be interesting….just saying, lol.

⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️-That part. 💝🍻

You also took me on a musical ride-the story title put me in mind of a 40’s ballad and then your “Peter, Paul and Mary” reference brought me to the 60’s, lol.

What a lovely surprise, Gary. ❤️💝 Like Woodrow and Paul, this story brought out many different emotions for me….a lot of ground was covered-from the horror of the senseless train crash that altered their lives with unbearable loss and it’s subsequent grief (illustrated in Woodrow’s desire to hold on to Dirk’s possessions to the point they are falling apart) still tightly gripping both of these widowers, to the hope for the future each glimpsed in their kindred spirit. Each came to mourn and each were given a sign that the season of loss had changed color, that new buds could spring from their cold, lonely winters….it would be foolish to ignore a sign from beyond, right? I feel good about a future with Woodrow and Paul….love for Dirk and Peter will be lovingly remembered and respected while they navigate a new future together. Size 12.5 feet, huh? There is a saying that the size of a man’s foot is equal in measure to, uh, “other” body parts….my oh my, that would be a handful, lol. 📏 🍆 When I saw the name Woodrow, I thought of the 28th President of the United States….the meaning for this Woodrow getting his name was touching and ironic, as the presidential Woodrow was apparently a sheet away from a Klan member, lol. This was a beautiful reminder that true love never dies, it just changes form. Thank you so much for sharing. 🍻

Please don’t let the majority suffer for the shenanigans of the few?

Now...now...ya never know if that lucky swimmer manages to nail that egg and split it into two...What a kick that would be...just saying... Yes...indeed!!! Nothing like photographic evidence, huh? 😄 And kudos to your alliterative account of the asstacity of the anatomical ancestors accorded parental designation to our Loren and Lars.

@kbois-Welcome back, I hope you had a fantabulous time.

I concur with your estimation of bottom feeders these people are….I get in this country everyone is entitled to fair representation but there is nothing fair in this pursuit; makes me wonder about the morals of litigators like this. Jay has a trick (or file) up his sleeve on these folks….maybe this is the time for that info to come out if they are so intent on publicity; I’d write them off altogether but they did two things right in their lives; These biological units remind me that shit fertilizes beautiful flowers. 🤷‍♀️

Jay will be higher than a blimp!! LMAO!!

YAY for this❣️❣️ Like athlete’s foot, barnacles or a yeast infection, here come Spermatozoa and Ovum….what utterly loathsome, parasitical beings they are; I’m glad their greedy attempts for attention didn’t ultimately dissuade Loren from wanting to become a parent since it took so much to get him to this point. I admire Loren’s transparency to his followers….I wouldn’t have shared the implantation process with the world; there’s an old wives tale that you don’t let people know you’re expecting until after the first trimester, I’m not an old wife, lol but I still believe in that practice. Twins weren’t surprising to me, the surprise was that Loren & Jay didn’t expect it, lol!! Favorite passage: “Thank you for going after him,” I say. “He needed space, but he needed support, too.” “Of course. Loren isn’t just your husband, he’s Matt’s friend, too.” “Oh, yeah? Just Matt’s friend?” “Well, he’s also Aidan and Carson’s favorite uncle.” “Mhmm.” Seamus laughs as he squeezes my arm. “I love Loren like a brother. No offense to you and the guys, but in some ways, he’s the closest I have to a real one.” Our boys have come a looooooong way. 🎁💝🙏

Going to read….😊

I’m rereading “Three Strikes” now. They are a treasure trove of stories….each one touches in a different way, yet the same way, if that makes sense, lol.

My favorite is “Tied up in Knotts”

Your beautiful example of persistence lovingly and patiently overcoming resistance is a delectable addition to your storytelling canon. A tale of role reversal where the older man was sheltered, naive and inexperienced and the younger man was responsible and take charge, sure of his destiny at a young age, first professionally, then personally. Reading your stories are an exquisite pleasure. Your love interests fit together like puzzle pieces and the intimate scenes satisfy the sensuous and the raunchy; This time around, you conveyed how connected Jensen and Nolan are with no sex at all: ”I press my nose to the side of his head and breathe,” *sigh* *swoon* And now here are my randos, lol: Your description of Nolan’s hazelish green eyes-❤️: “It was like driving through the Cascades in the spring as a dozen shades of the forest whizzed by, highlighted by splashes of bark. They were stunning.” Where is Jensen’s Mom? When an epic mistake almost destroyed any chance at a future, Jensen rebuilt his relationship with Nolan the same way he rebuilt his house, from the inside out. Jensen truly has “never been one to pussyfoot around.” The passage below impressed me with Jensen’s open clarity thisclose to the finish line with Nolan: “Jensen bit his lip as he stared at mine. His eyes were dark and hungry. “What do you want, Nolan? Because I’ve liked you for a long time, and I don’t want anything from you unless I get to keep it for a long time.” And as Anna & we got to see, Jensen got his wish. May J&N enjoy a lifetime of being “faithful to the cause.“ “Here, here”🥂 💝

I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only one who got drawn in and wound up going to sleep at “ass-o’clock in the morning”, lol. (That is the BEST phrase, LOL!!)
