Are you trying to make the comments a Trainwreck too?
-
Would you? Are you letting Terrence get under your skin, droughtquake? I'm not sure if @Mikiesboy would agree, but I think that would make Terrence very happy. 😄
-
Indeed. They see and hear much, and a startling amount of power is available if said toady wants to seize it. Thanks, Kitt! 🙂

I missed replying to this, molly. Sorry about that! you're so right. Life isn't neat or tidy. There are gray decisions we make daily, and we simply try to do our best with the situations and the tools we have to resolve them. We'll never do anything perfectly. We can only try. Thanks for the great comment, molly!

Hehehe. Good. I'm glad the story is that interesting to you. Grant is sort of an expert at rationalizing when it comes to Troy, huh? And maybe he didn't cross a line. That all depends on Troy, and how he feels about what Grant has done up to this point to meet, help, and then hang onto him. That moment is likely to appear ... when Troy discovers what Grant has done. Let's find out. 🙂 Thank you for the great comments, and for reading!

I think Etotsira was talking to Sweetlion, drought.

Soon! Thursday is coming. Thanks for reading!

Thanks, kbois! I'm gratified that you're enjoying this journey for our guys. Troy felt a lot better about things once he got some distance from desperation. He's better able to say and do the things he needs to in order to interact in a more equal way with Grant. And ... Grant had to learn a lesson about pride, and the importance of it in Troy's life. You've got a few more chapters to read before you hit the end of the line (and have to wait on updates like everyone else). Enjoy this glorious time in your life! 😄

I'm not sure how I missed this comment. Thanks, Jeffrey! I know you've read along the last few chapters, so I hope you're enjoying the ride.

Glad you're feeling a little better, rick!

Terrence is not just a pretty face and a snarky comeback. Underestimate him at your peril! Thanks for the comment!
-
Hey, she's capable of being nice. It doesn't often happen, but she's capable!
-
Thanks, Tony! This one was fun to write. The back and forth perspectives between Frank and Ike, Devin and Ben were particularly something I had wondered if we could pull off. But I think it worked well. 🙂
-
Gail is certainly a piece of work. What kind of work? Well, that remains to be seen. hehehe. you like their names, eh? Good. 😛 Oh, you have big plans for Ike and Devin. Keep reading ... find out if you're right!
-
Do what you need to do. Take care of yourself, and let me know if I can help.
-
Noticed that, eh? 😉
-
It's great you're enjoying it. I like all of it, but this is about where it kicks into a different and higher gear. 🙂 It's wonderful you want more, because that's what you'll get. Next week! 😄
-
Thank you, Mike. I'm happy you liked it. Give my co-author some appreciation in person for me!
-
It is a damn good story, @Mikiesboy! Thank you for writing it!

Yeeeees! Yes, exactly! 😄

Gail and Terrence seem to mistreat each other, fairly equally. It's her one relationship with someone in her company, where she hears the blunt truth (is it truth, though? Hrm). She values him for that - that he will say so when he doesn't agree. We'll have to see how much her trust in him will hurt her. Terrence? Slimy? I think he would take great offense to that remark! But, sometimes the "truth" hurts, eh? Thanks for reading and for the comments! 😄
-
Gail has spent a long time in this business. We'll have to see if she has any contingencies in place to deal with this underhanded behavior. Stick around to find out!
-
Oh, yes. Vastly different experiences in humanity, personalities, and priorities! Delighting in their pain is the idea. I'm glad you're enjoying this ride! 😄

Yep, I remember your emails. 😛 Honestly, I would have killed for friends like them. Maybe it's because I never had anyone like them. People who would step in front of anybody who wanted to judge, or hurt me just for being who I am. I envy anybody who can pick and choose who will make the friend cut in terms of people who are supportive in their life. In my world if someone shows they won't judge me for something I can't change, and that they genuinely care, well ... then they're in - meddling and all.

A coworker of mine is going through the stage that will come after this. Her kids have left for college, and she spent a few hard months trying to find "new purpose" in her home life. Her husband is a smart man. He purchased a crazy improved sewing machine, because Tammy loves quilting and sewing. Last week was the first time I heard her excited for her upcoming weekend in a while. She had a quilting project to work on, and her excitement made a number of us who had watched her mourn her empty nest smile. For her, she had to remember herself. To pick up the things she may have put down to prioritize her kids. Others volunteer, or take up new hobbies to pass the time. But, these parents are still hugely important to their kids, and that will never change.
