I tore up reading it. 😥 His strength and cantankerous wisdom will be missed.

R.I.P. Silas. 💔 No matter how sick, no matter how old, you’re never totally prepared for the death of a loved one. @kbois, Vann is my second favorite of your literary children, after Lyssa. 💝 The future looks promising and bright….it’s a nice place to leave them, though I still wonder who shot Caleb in wolf form. 🤷‍♀️ Thank you for a fantastic voyage….look forward to epilogues. 🙏 👏

I too speculated on the purpose of shiny man’s questioning and his gaydar, which only made me more angry at his question….if a fly buzzes in the wrong ear, it will be swatted, for this dickwad to hope to bring that kind of trouble to Jubal is a very hateful act, given the times they lived in; I’m actually surprised (and relieved) his speculation was ignored, maybe he’s one to cry gay wolf (pun unintended, lol) and is typically ignored. Gaydar is typically owned by one made like that….for shiny asshole to try to shine that light on Jubal speaks to self hatred, if he is indeed made that way. Either way, that question was not asked out of the goodness of his heart. 🫤

As someone who prefers to keep their own counsel, I was as rankled by the need to feed the gossip mills as Jubal….had his perspective not been skewered by his fearful paranoia, he would have handled the inquiries about the shootout better, he strikes me as someone capable of being respectful yet distant, but Jubal is not in his right mind….he’s a panic attack away from expecting a scaffold and rope brought out to the town square. Fuck that man who asked about sleeping arrangements….there always has to be that one in a gaggle and unfortunately his question hit square into Jubal’s fear of discovery. It’s encouraging that he’s come to appreciate the town almost as well as he does his favorite inhabitant of it. “Was it his fear that kept him squirming like he be sitting bare-assed on a rock the sun made hot enough to cook an egg on?” While reading that was sad as it stated how heightened Jubal’s anxiety was, What a visual, lol!! Wow. I agree with Jubal’s paranoid thinking that Reid may have told Lucas of Jubal’s reluctance to take back his gold to give his friend an indication his strong feelings are returned….what a noble gesture from one so previously territorial; it speaks to Reid’s loyalty just as his earlier behavior spoke to his passion. Pistol. 🩷 What a fitting name for a horse that capably strengthens and defends Jubal as certain as any firearm….not a replacement for Kema but another mare he will have a strong, special bond with. Their trek to locate the wildings was another testament to the intelligence and heartiness of this man….first an architect, now a horse tamer, there’s seems little he can’t do except believe he deserves to be happy. To discover the slain mare and foal was tragic but Jubal and Pistol did what they could to even the odds for the independent herd. Impressive and no doubt necessary work at that time but skinning is a grisly task….using animal’s brains for tanning is my knowledge nugget for today. 😊 Jubal has a dream-to make his own way and be able to find one made like him who can reciprocate his feelings….he thinks he can achieve some of that dream in Bearpaw, little does he know his total heart’s desire lay waiting for him in this little western hamlet. Will Jubal visit Lucas tonight? Has Lucas forgiven Jubal? When will Lucas come home? Find out next week when we check out “Bearpaw: An Old West Tale” 🐾 🍻

You clearly have no notion who you’re talking to, lol.

That was my childhood impression, lol then I saw: https://images.app.goo.gl/4bxDVzu7764kR1EH6 These MoFo’s flex.

Oh God, mine too. 🥹❤️‍🩹

Children are a lot stronger than we give them credit for and Dominic is a perfect example of that….like the psychologist, I’m surprised he isn’t more turned around than he is, given what he witnessed with his parent’s split & his mother’s illness. I’m a big fan of Dominic’s. Jessica and her bitchass ways don’t disappoint, smh…. I find myself wishing a house would fall on her and someone get her ruby slippers. 🏠👠 Between the Senior Pastore and the Junior Pastore, the middle Pastore is going to be okay; they are all very good for each other. 🎁

Should’ve made them kangaroos….those fuckers can get mean. Like, they freak me out now, full blown fear of them developed in adulthood.

Most artists are just the vessel to the muse.

That exact thought came to me too, that would have been an extremely sad, full circle moment. Thank goodness for Caleb & Asa’s insubordination, lol.

What a lovely memory you brought back. ✨🌠

Thank you, O great teaser, for sparing the mighty loss expected….This is one red herring I’m mighty pleased you cast out. “The white wolf lifted its leg and let loose on the smoldering remains.” Nice touch that Caleb pissed on the remains of the monster that tried to kill him, lol. Thank goodness Caleb and Asa ignored Sebastian and healed Reilly….his death would have effectively ended Sebastian, too. Thank you, Ms. Morrigan, for coming to the rescue, she and Enya were invaluable in this battle….two women cleaning up the mess made by a bunch of men….hmmm 🤔 “A solitary, silver tear slipped from Cassiel’s eye and fell in slow motion, landing on Elijah’s chest. The young man gasped. If Caleb were to guess, he would say the droplet landed exactly where Elijah sported the scar Kage left.” The tear of the heretofore emotionless Cassiel joined the many of mine at the mention of beautiful, dear, sweet, Kage….the embodiment of contradictory forces. ❤️ ☯️ Kage was loved by two in his life, one parental (Cassiel) and one romantic (Elijah) and so deserving of both. (I KNOW who Elijah’s mate has been decreed but for me, it’s always going to be about he and Kage) Elijah is Kage’s soulmate regardless of whom Elijah is meant to be with. 💗 “He will always be with you. He loved you.” Kage will always keep darkness from the door of Elijah and all his loved ones. If we give it a chance, love wins. Every time. ❤️❤️‍🔥💝 Let the healing, recovery and reunion begin.

Lemme know when you get it, lol.

Or a T-shirt, lol.

It was great to hear that Vann’s new brothers took to him without knowing they are brothers, speaking of….Vann knows that Caleb is his father: “….we noticed he took over Hank and Eclipse’s care when he discovered they belonged to Caleb.” Whether it’s a subliminal blood call or empathetic Vann overhearing a conversation he wasn’t meant to and understanding and forgiving, he knows. You did an excellent job imbuing the reader with the ennui Sebastian and Co. felt waiting for Fucktard Feline to strike, as well the fearful anticipation of what is to come. For some reason when Nat, Roberto and Andrew came, I feared one of them was spying for Fucktard Pussyface….guess time will tell. Speaking of pussy: “Asa gagged. There was no multiverse involving him whatsoever where any kind of pussy played a role. Yuck.” This pussy owner found that line very funny, lol. It’s sobering to realize the next time we reconvene, there may be a casualty/casualties we care about….*GULP* 😔 Such is the way of life and war.

I’m sorry that you experienced so much loss in such a short amount of time between your father and Josh. Guilt is a very cruel mistress, she distorts everything that you see & feel, grief was a cagey partner. Your loving family is a gift I can see you treasure….coming through my own time of grief and loss reminded me of the importance of family as well; if you’re lucky, family is the people you are born to, mine is a family of the heart. Your commentary on stories are always enjoyable and often moving. I’m glad you are still here….thank you for sharing. 🎁

And I would have too, lol!! It would’ve taken me more than Jack Daniels to forgive that filth. Jessica was definitely Lacy’s sister, brain tumor notwithstanding.

I’ve never heard obits referred to as the “Irish Sportspage”…. I love it, lol!!

Dylan and Dominic did as well as could be expected with Lacy’s wake and funeral; Dominic had a maturity about the situation that was touchingly impressive. Jessica is an ignorant bitch. “You're lucky I don't want to hurt Dominic. If it wouldn't tear him apart, I'd be fighting you tooth and nail for custody.“ Dylan is a way better person than I am: “I realized she said those things trying to protect Dominic, so my anger dissipated….” Umm, the idea of homosexuals being pedophiles was always an incorrect (and should be an outdated) belief. Yay to Dylan’s dad moving closer to he and Dominic, he sounds like a hoot. Life goes on and Dylan’s cheating on Lacy was not great but he’s more than paid the price for that….I'm with his dad, it’s time for Dylan to get his groove back.

I’ve gotten crappy stuff from Amazon, lol. I never heard anyone complain about Consumer’s stuff….maybe the wait for an item but never the item itself.

Yes!! 🎶Consumers/we wrote the book/on savings….🎶 If this is the same store, we had a pickup outlet within walking distance from my home growing up….my dad bought my first birthstone ring from there. The merchandise was indeed varied yet all the stuff was quality. I think they went out of business about 30 years ago. Wow, Gary, you brought me back with that one, lol.

Toby’s got a skill set when dealing with his mother, embedded in there has to be an expectation of disappointment, this is now happily ameliorated by the home life he shares with his father, Gordon and the new grandparents he’s got. If she’s astute enough, Deirdre will realize her lost opportunities with her son, likely after it’s too late to do anything about it. “The email was signed, your friend, Mr Russ.” Russ Khan is not Toby’s friend; he is a lonely, opportunistic, fat cat looking to score points with his dad by doing niceties for him. someone his father works for. I’d say that people with money often don’t care about respecting other’s boundaries but that is an affliction that crosses socioeconomic levels….a largesse of finances just makes such margin intrusions easier. Russ is not looking at Brian and Gordon from a professional standpoint and things will get stickier if they don’t put a stop to this.

I thought of Costco but yeah, the mercantile concept has undergone an upgrade, lol.
