I thought this upcoming match up was at least couple of chapters away @VBlewasked if Frodd was poisoned is there anything they are not allowed to do in these matches? Or does everything go.?

I knew a lot of that stuff about Jim Thorpe but I didn't know the story about the town got named that.Thats another name people are forgetting and its a shame did you Know Carlisle track team had only two members the other was good at one event I forget which Jim Thorpe literally did all the others(well I guess he couldn't do the relays)

Uh what kind of wood are you talking about🤔 Wait don't answer that

I don't give a damn .....Oh that's the shortstop

You mentioned National robin day well Robin Hood is in the story so it makes sense

And you're not just talking chapters right?

I didn't know there was something called Greek coffee I guess Starbucks doesn't have it. The line "Don’t be surprised if you see something that was developed hundreds of years earlier that you think has only been developed in the last hundred years.” got me to remember hearing that parts of Ancient Greece had a plumbing system with underground pipes and everything not all that different from today

Unlike the other boys we already met Tanner's Mom might have an issue with Tanner being gay.Or course we need to find out more but from what was described so far Tanner's Mom sounds less than ideal

Not asking each others names? If that doesn't say lifetime relationship then nothing does😄

The way George reacted when Andy and Wayne told him he first thought was the stuff he said over the past year and how it must have hurt his sons.That says a lot about him. Do you know of churches that have a gay/straight alliance? In the Catholic Church which I am familiar with they call on parishioners to treat gay people with dignity but I don't think they would ever approve of a Gay/straight alliance. One observation George introducing his Sons as BF's without the detail that Andy is adopted might have some people going wha...?😄 So part two is going to be in a different writing style looking forward to it

My Mother's death was very similar to how Aunt May death was described .My Mom had no vices at all let alone anything that would promote a stroke and was very active and was constantly seeing doctors on a weekly basis I know because I was her transportation (I'm grateful I had the means to do that) my thought is even if Aunt May had gone to the see the Doctor they really can't say when a stroke will happen Marc was the perfect Nephew. Now that Sawyer arrived and Rachel and Reba witnessed what happened I guess it's only a matter of time the rest of the town will know. The only person in Marc's inner circle who may be a problem is Dick er....Rick.To be fair all he's been guilty of so far is being crude but if there is any inkling he has a problem with Marc Reba WILL shut that down pronto. Since we're only at the halfway point there's going to be other issues I'm sure.I have to think there are going to be tense moments when Marc's parents appear. I'm not qualified to tell @Libby Drew what to write but I would love to hear Marc say something like this to his parents "You visited the Taj Mahal....Aunt May always wanted to visit the Taj Mahal but never got the chance she had other priorities....Like taking care of Me!!!!!"

I5 calls on Tuesday from Marc and 12 more the next day????? Uh Sawyer didn't it occur to you that 27 calls may mean something is really ,really REALLY wrong?????If you thought all those calls was because he missed YOU!!! that much I don't know what to say to to that Karen had to call Bruce to find Sawyer. To go to that much trouble tells me that all of Marc's employees know the score

Or we can send her to the korner with the rest of the korner krew............come to think of it maybe tar and feathering would be less harsh

So many things happening I probably won't be too coherent (so what else is new?) It's possible Marc could be right about Finn not being so bad but there is no way he knows the situation well enough to say that. Things seemed to go downhill from there. Marc saying he hasn't been good enough in the past could that be from his so-called parents? I sure hope whatever problem Rachel has with this ex that called her at the diner doesn't escalate it sounds scary. The fact that the Office where Sawyer is the boss has gone downhill isn't surprising .Every placed I ever worked the difference between how the employees act when the boss is there vs. when the boss isn't is always dramatic.Not being there a month what did you think was going to happen. According to @Libby Drew we're not even at the half way point yet so I'm expecting more "stuff" to hit the fan

Remember the old show The A-Team? Remember what they had to do to get the character B.A.to fly on a plane because of his fear of flying they pretty much drugged him to sleep to do so.It sounds like thats the only way to get Aunt May to go to the doctor unfortunately thats probably illegal to do. Remember in an earlier chapter I referred to Finn as a piece of work? Boy that was a HUGH understatement.He's a piece of something all right

While reading this I had a friend with me who read this chapter on his smartphone he had been a swimmer in high school and (some years back) and he tells me you wrote this as if you were very familiar with swimming do you a swimming background? This was a awesome chapter .Two thoughts why not Luke as Jackson's prom date? And I so wished you would have had Tony have them throw Cindy out(Henry might have been bummed so maybe not)What planet does she live on to confront Jackson at that placed time?

I hope ,I hope,I hope I'm wrong but I think Aunt May would have to have a more serious accident before she'll go to the Doctor. You can argue Marc has a little Aunt May in him after almost falling from the stairs they continued on the secret passage

We know it's been a least couple of days since Blake has been out of his parents house and it sounds like at least a couple of day on top of that based on Aric seeing him outside the convenience store.If was mentioned that his parents didn't exactly kick him out.Maybe they though he would be back after being out in this freezing weather and now its been multiple days since if they are any kind of decent people they must have reported him missing to the police.Will there be a knock on the door from an police officer? "PLEASE go away, lady! Or you’re going to see the ball drop long before New Year’s Eve! Just saying!" That line cracked me up😄

Bruce Banner that's priceless the TV show called him David Banner I always thought that was lame. I wonder how a conversation between Rick And Bruce would go. I have to say I saw the Rachel's Diner thing coming maybe because I use to DVR AsThe World Turns for my Mom. "The fact that his Marc shared more than a passing resemblance to Mark Hamill was funny—and just the slightest bit creepy." I suspect you're referring to the Star Wars era Mark Hamill no disrespect meant to Mr Hamill now

Interesting Marc has a story to tell about his parents and Sawyer has a story to tell about Finn(What a piece of work he sounds like) that sort of makes them kindred spirits. Why did you have to have Marc less than a month old coffee machine go kablooie? I'm on my first week with a MY new coffee maker hope that doesn't mean anything

While Marc was by far the more irrational one I think Sawyer should have thought better of following Marc to the bathroom pretty much confirming ant suspicions Marc's team may have

That and she wears a Grateful Dead t-shirt

Restoring his Grandfathers house?Could that mean Sawyer is staying in town permanently? Marc has to realize that doing this project that something will have to give

I guess as the story progresses you find out more such as has the topic ever come up with Aunt May is there ugly history with the town folkes with gay people etc. Aunt May doesn't strike me a someone who would disown Marc so what damage is Marc worried about at age 27? Speaking of age 27 Aunt May may suspect anyway

In addition to having the right reaction to the boys being gay Mom said something really huge saying that she loved them both that was particularly important for Wayne considering how she found out about him
