The true south is beautiful. Where family is first, generosity and humbleness is in most everyone. This woman, although from Kentucky and has a lot of idiots supporting her, does not represent me and my south. She doesn't represent the south for a lot of us that live in these regions. Going beyond that, she doesn't even represent true Christians as I am a Christian as well. I wish we could kick her out of both groups as she is running the south and what it takes to be a real christian into the dirt. Let's get back to sweet tea and SEC football soon and this woman's grandstanding will be forgotten.

The Governor cannot be re-elected though, he is at the end of his eligibility. So he 'could' if he wanted to. Although, it may end badly for the democrat that is running to replace him, although I plan on voting for him over the republican, who I distrust a ton more. The Democrat running dodged the gay marriage issue when he was Attorney General though, said he would leave it to the higher courts in Kentucky... and they of course stalled out until SCOTUS got involved. The Gov. has already told them to start issuing marriage licenses though, you can't make someone do anything they just won't do... we'll see if she folds when they start fining her.

Yes.. to be stubborn to the point of idiocy warrants some sort of award. I dislike that she is getting so much praise. Those people can also have honorable mention. They refuse to see that her 3 divorces were a sin - that she somehow asked for forgiveness for those and found God within the fourth marriage. Which, fine - I can deal with that. What I don't understand is how they seem to forget all the passages of love and acceptance and the, "Thou shall not judge," command - as to disobey any of those are sins as well. Kentucky.. I love the place despite most of the people that call it home. If I can somehow ship them up north I would.

Thanks! I believe that maybe his mother wants him angry, just more so at his father. But! We shall see what else they both may have planned, they can't be done just yet. Thanks for reviewing, I do hope you like the last chapter and the epilogue! I hope to have them posted sometime soon.

Yeah, a bit of a whole in her plan. To me I think she is banking on having some sort of relationship with Jason, or at least she thinks she does... and can at least convince him that his father is somehow worse. Anyway, I don't want to say too much since the next chapter + epilogue will be the last bits to this story. I hope you like the ending! Thanks for the review!

I no longer write and then have a few quick edits then post. I tried that when I first started and it led to a lot of stress. Although, I'm in an adjustment period with writing and working out a complete story before posting. I find that my confidence in a story is lacking when I do this. Maybe because I picked a different type of story to begin and I should have just stayed with what I knew to ease myself into a new posting/writing strategy. Is the story I just completed different from what I usually write? Not really, it is still a romance... it is just that this one is more fast paced and dramatic, more soap-opera instead of linear. I started out really enjoying the writing and story process of it, but like everything as I got closer to the end the questions started and when those start, the motivation begins to plummet. What I'm getting at, is that some authors find it challenging to end a story and become overwhelmed. So much so that it becomes a minor anxiety and it leads to them not completing it, ever.. because they believe they just won't be happy with the finished product. I'm will usually just have stories that I know I won't complete - deleted. I keep them on my computer just to be sure I'll not pick them up or do an extensive rewrite. (I have one of those in the works right now, but I've not touched in a month or so) Or at least hidden from reader view. A lot of people come here for a lot of different reasons. A lot of them leave when those reasons are met outside of GA. People become published and are too busy. People are lonely and want to find like minded people to bounce ideas and talk to... then they find someone. People grow up and start their lives on a more significant level and doing so have a lot more demands on their time. - I'm suffering from that as well. I have three young children, I guess I'm waiting for the newlywed stage to wear off, I thought with children and a dog it would... but luckily we've held on to the butterflies and rainbows, and I'm in the process of moving again. Hopefully to my little oasis so I can get back to hobbies and work... I never thought I would miss having a job, but being a stay at home mother is more taxing, I have more respect for those stay at home parents than I ever have before. I've said this before - sometimes if you wish for authors you like to stay and work you have to give them something to work for. Some motivation that will keep them going. Don't automatically assume that they are happy with the "likes" and "reviews" they receive and pop in and give them a review and a like or a PM or something. You never know how 'close' some of them are to hanging it all up because they're wondering if anyone is still interested as well.

I waited impatiently sitting out on the front porch as the people hired to take care of the house came by to pack up the extra food and do some cleaning. I would have helped to speed things along, but every time I made a move to help the woman would grab whatever I held. I finally resigned myself to not helping and stepped outside on the front porch to try and calm my nerves. We were only sticking around because it was too early to leave although I knew I would feel better if we were already on

I know! The Anniversary Anthology, made me think out of the box.. I wanted to cover the span of a full circle. If I had these characters and a blank sheet, I wouldn't kill either of them. I would want them to grow grey together and watch Mattie raise his own children and puppy, if he chose to have them. I wrote this story before I had a marriage and children sort of life, I couldn't write it now, not the way that I did back then. I'm glad you liked it and Matthew Alexander is a strong and beautiful name for a boy. I got most of these names from GA members: Joe, Mattie, etc. lol.

Happy Birthday Joann!

Great Idea!

Ciao The 10 Year Plan - a bit bah, but still cute in some ways. The Geography Club - I guess the book is tons better, but heh.

Happy Birthday!

Welcome!

I have twins, it is fascinating watching them grow up together. So, I couldn't imagine them ever being separated and the effect that would have. There are some interesting facts about twins, definitely a social dynamic that can be entertaining. I'm glad Sadie stole every scene, I like writing animals into my stories. I 'think' the rest is explained in later chapters, so I'm not going to spoil that for you. If not, I may have to expand the story a bit from where it is... only time will tell. Thanks for reading!

Yep, he does have a nice support system behind him right now. I'm a little worried as this story draws to a close, but I'm always like that when I'm at the end of a project... thanks for reading and commenting! I hope you like the meeting.

Yeah, the poor dog is a prisoner.. exiled to the front yard and yelled at in the house. So I had to bring her along. I like animals in my stories in some form. It is similar to how Jason feels. Thanks for reading and commenting!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Being a mother and a wife, either one to do with them... the loss of something. So.. He/she/they didn't make it... or, I want a divorce..

Lexi and Adam left me alone to finish going through the documents about my sister. The initial shock of her had vanished, replaced with a numbness. Mostly because I was exhausted by the trip and the news. I wanted to call her, but by the time I made the decision it had gotten too late in the evening, and I didn’t trust myself to stay calm either. Sadie’s insistent energy finally got my attention and we all followed her out to the porch as the sun nearly completely set. The ocean had changed

I wouldn't fret too much over the name. Just blogging and managing the blog/posting regularly and not letting it die will likely draw the attention you want.

Happy Birthday!

I find sexual fluidity very interesting, I think it can add to a lot of character depth/uniqueness that can be unresolved. It can definitely add a mysterious presence to a character if they aren't pigeon holed so strictly into what they like.

Happy Birthday! Have a great one!

Happy Birthday!
