    Aditus, I'm glad you enjoyed my little tale. It only goes to prove that the heart knows what it wants. Thanks for the feedback.

    Chapter 1

    We certainly hope that's how it worked out, Joann. Thanks for the feedback.
  3. In a far away land, during a time long forgotten, there was a kingdom ruled by a decent and well-intentioned, although woefully incompetent king named Percival. As far as his subjects were concerned, Percival’s father had been a truly great king, but Percival’s deeds paled in comparison to those of his sire. This may have had something to do with the long shadow cast by his father’s legendary reputation and the enormous, and possibly unfair, expectations everyone held for King Percival’s reign
  4. King Percival is viewed as an utter failure by his subjects, both as a man and a ruler. For this reason, he attempts to do everything he can to make sure his only son is prepared to replace him when he dies, but the prince has flaws of his own. One is that he is attracted to other males, not females. Since his father refuses to accept his sexual orientation, King Percival does everything within his power to alter his son’s desires, until the situation ultimately spirals out of control.
  5. Happy Birthday, Benji. I hope it's a great on for you!
  6. I think in America the guy would have thrown her over the railing and then returned everything for a refund.
  7. Didn't the guy just consider breaking up with her and going home? Seems like an awfully drastic action just because she wanted to continue shopping. I guess some Chinese haven't completely come to grips with the downside of capitalism.
  8. So much time has passed since I was that age, yet so little has changed. We can only hope a day will come when things like he's doing is no longer necessary.
  9. He was an amazing example of how you have choices in life. He could have been bitter and tried to seek vengence for being incarcerated for so long, but instead he forgave and moved on with his life. He alleviated the fears the white minority had that they would be forced to pay for their past. Instead, he united a nation. I salute this great man and may he rest in peace.
  10. Auburn has had a charmed ending to their season and will now go to the National Championship game, thanks to Michigan State beating Ohio State. I'll be interested in seeing how they do against Florida State now.
  11. Happy Birthday, Nostalgic. Oh to be 29 again. Hope it's a great one.
  12. Happy Birthday, Jeremy. May this one be followed by many more.
  13. I think it's highly unfair to compare a live action show to the movie, where they could redo anything they didn't like. For being live, I thought they did a remarkable job, with no major flubs, and it was nice to see a revival of the live action plays/musicals, such as they stage on 50s television. It was like going to the theater without having to leave the comfort of your favorite chair.
  14. Happy Birthday, Wayne. I hope it turns out to be everything you want and you receive your heart's desire.
  15. Congrats, Tomas, and I lift my glass in honor of such a dedicated member.
  16. Must be they're not accepting enough kickbacks to upgrade.
  17. Didn't this guy understand how service men like to drink? Had he never been in the service himself? If he'd ever spent a night or two in an NCO or officers' club then he could have concluded how such an offer would go. I'm surprised the terrorists didn't take advantage of the offer too, while the troops were getting drunk they could have benefitted from their lack of vigilence.
  18. Happy birthday, Lisa.
  19. It's party time! Happy Birthday, Andy! I somehow lost the bar of emoticons, but have a great birthday.
  20. Let me put my response this way. You'll only get this chance once. If you don't act upon it, you may regret that fact later. However, if you do act, you may face rejection of one sort or another. Either way, it's a tough call, so you have to think this out and decide if you like him enough to take this chance. I think you said he's in the closet too, so I doubt he would out you, because you could do the same thing in return, but since he has a bf, your romantic interests may not stand much of a chance. That boils down to whether your friendship with him might be placed in jeopardy if you open up to him. Just some things to consider as you ponder this dliemma, but good luck and I hope it works out for you. .
  21. If UGA couldn't be there, I'm gald Missouri got the shot. Now they need to break the Auburn lucky streak.
  22. Auburn is leading a charmed life. The week after being the beneficiaries of that lucky recption and touchdown that beat my Dawgs of UGA, they manage to return a field goal attempt for a TD. Someone sure is looking out for them. hehehe
  23. It is a tragic loss, but maybe the Fast and Furious went to his head. Had flashbacks of what happened to James Dean.
  24. Be creative and use them as the pieces on a chessboard, but that means you'll have to buy more than one of each. lol
  25. Happy Thanksgiving! Even if you're not from the US, take a moment to be thankful for the things you have and enjoy. Count your blessings.
