😎......................I loved how they played devil's advocate in quizzing their morals on the evil deed they were about to do to Bradley. And took maybe 20 seconds to decide 'nah, I'm in on this one'. They played their cards and got dealt a royal! This will definitely be talked about for years to come, and I'm so glad Boney was able to get away adding to the mystic. He will spend his retirement years in the shack, a memento to Brad;ey's humility in the town square. I think that Sheriff Dizzard is going to figure out ho did it and approve of the prank. I think Kelly's dad may also figure it out, but this one time will remain silent on his son's transgression given the treatment by Bradley and his gang towards them. Great Chapter!!

This was during the early '60s but now you mention it, we were around during the cold war!

😎................. Ah there is nothing like a well planned and executed prank that goes well, and this sounds like a great one coming up! Great chapter!

😎.................. I can only guess how this will play out, either way it sounds brilliant hopefully it will make its way into YouTube and torment Brad for awhile longer (for the students that don't go to the festival just to make sure EVERYONE in town sees it). Looking forward to the main event!

😎......................I really like the mindset of Kelly. sometimes you have to temper a little revenge to achieve justice. And remember he is not dealing with an innocent here, Brad is getting a what comes around goes around and in front of the towns people that will leave a lasting impression. I sure what happens next will be read with some tepid enthusiasm. Great chapter!

😎................I remember my friends and would explore dump sites as kids, back in the day when the desert had many such spots all over the valley. Never considered it to be a thinking place, but then again we did come up with some crazy ideas out there. Even gave the base pilots some grief when our walkies-talkies would pick up their transmissions, they cuss us out! Your descriptive narrative makes great reading and is easily related to. I can hardly wait to hear of Kelly's plan!

😎.................It may sound strange, but I kinda expected her passing soon after the death of her late husband. She was definitely 'a one of a kind character' and will be sorely missed in this saga. But life does go on, and we have the grand babies to look forward to, and the antics of Levi and Link and the soon to be millionaire Kasey. Good chapter, lots of emotion played here!

😎............... Finally decided to read this, and I;m glad I did I loved the characters have come to being at this secluded shack. Kelly and his gay crew have enough problems with the schools self appointed jerks, I can hardly wait to see what Kelly comes up with to get vengeance back at the creeps. Great well versed start on the story!

😎.................Sorry to hear about your mom, I'm thankful that this disease does not run in our family. No word on 'nan' in this episode eh? Kasey has a good start on getting a lesson on economics in life. New daddies beware! Childrearing is not as easy as it is portrayed 😨 in this story! Otherwise, just a typical day at the Kyle and Blu household, (a bit enhanced by babies, haggard daddies and weddings oh my). Great chapter!

😎.....................What a pleasant surprise after a week-long vacation in Las Vegas to come back to. Another fine chapter, I'm a little surprised that Robbie finally admitted to being assaulted by Alex to none other than Nicola! But even Robbie realizes that his best ally in the household is Nicola who will finally get him to talk to people that want to help him. I think Alex grabbed his brother and did a runner on them, it might not be a bad idea if they are never heard from again! Great chapter, funny how a MIA Daniel shows up at the end with a girl in tow. .

😎....................As an American, I'm quite willing to step aside and let the gentleman from Australia and London battle out their intolerable differences while bastardizing the King's good English! 🤯

😎.................Hmmm, maybe a goofy hat or mask for Don, and get Sue a Dumbo hat! But definitely a couple of therapist for that household is very much needed. But Robbie is in the most important one in this saga that could use the therapy the most. It is Walter that Robbie needs to talk to, as Walter has probably been there done that, or at least has dealt with these issues before. I think Alex is a lost cause, and will probably do something stupid. Likewise, I think Nathan is a lost cause hopefully, Robbie will not blame himself when Nathan does a crash and burn too! But I am wondering if Conner is the right choice for Robbie when he is in a severe depression like he is. Great chapter!!

😎............ Yeah, that was in the back of mind while writing that!

😎..................Coming a bit late, but I thought I would put in my two cents here, 😁 )as there were not enough cliches!) I think it wrong to assume that Robbies condition is medical. his doctors should have figured out that he what he really needed was a good therapist That he really needed was rest and no drama as he did not get any rest at home between Don, 'the clappers' and Sue! Of course, now with the current thing with Alex and now his father, his level of anxiety has only gotten worse. What Robbie really needs is to have a talk with Walter while staying with him to recuperate, at least a week, more likely two weeks is needed. I agree with Wildone he needs to be able to tell someone that he can trust, and Walter sounds like just the person! Alex disappering from his life will reduce his fear and anxitiey and possible protection from Alex's father and with Don and the 'clappers' gone maybe his anxiety can disapper. Finally if Robbie's stairwell assailant finally gets caught and prosecuted, if he offers up fellow conspirators, would there be any surpries for us? Great chapter, can't wait for the next one!

😎............. Robbie should be looking for a place to go soon and leave the home of Don and Sue for his on sake. The obvious place would be Rory's home, and he has the money to pay for room and board, but Alex has to go. That is why Robbie would never feel safe with Alex on the loose and I know Robbie would feel better. I wonder if Don will try to force Robbie into the Church's therapy for his own good, under the guise that Robbie 'brought it all on upon himself by being gay?' I also wonder if Sue will go along with it, or will Don's weekly prayer meetings go away with a resolute Sue?

😎..............A brain trauna victim suffers from a sexual assualt already compounding Robbie's fragile and physical and mental physche. His refusal to report the 'crime' is understamdable considering skeptical Don and Sue who would probably beleive Alex over Robbie, but is further evidence that he is not thinking clearly. "Flotida"? Is Alex on drugs? He does have the right idea, he should leave the area! However for Robbie's well being, he should also leave Don and Sue's home. The rape assualt will eventually get out, and Don will blame Robbie for it! Alex needs a mental institution, not a jail cell Graet chapter!

😎....................I'm all in for that!! 😆

😎............ In both cases. Alex was a culprit and instigator with Robbie and between Nathan and Robbie Robbie did lie to Nathan and Robbie did play mind games with Alex. So Robbie was not blameless in this mess, he was also aware of how violent Alex could be, so he probably shouldn't have poked that wasp nest with a stick. I'm not sure who Robbie could tell about Alex, his home and town seem to be overfilled with homophobia. However, he most definitely should tell someone of his reinjury to his head.

😱.....................WTF! I so did not see that coming. I have no idea who Robbie awakened, but it wasn't the Alex that he knew! What started out as good morning, joking with Rory just got worse. And it sure didn't get better with Nathan busting his balls! Of course, (I could not believe Nathan calling the kettle black here! It got worse with Don's lonely threesome bible study group. I wonder how Sue managed to avoid Don's group, I thought Don's grip was tight? Finally. back to Alex, who went crazy on Robbie, I hope Robbie's head was not injured to the point where Robbie may need to be hospitalized again? I can see plenty of blame to go around, but Robbie seems o have brought a lot of upon himself!

😎..............Omg! This one was stacked with tension-filled comedy, “I’d be less pissed off if I didn’t look like a thirteen-year-old Beiber fan.” “Oh,” Kaleb waved his hand at him. “You’re being the drama queen. Now punch the gas ‘Beebs.’” Terrific gift form Kasey, the evil that spews from this family is definitely an environmental trait. "................raising her arthritic withered hand to give Kaleb the bird. “You wish,” He muttered! Kaleb is definitely a charmer! Great chapter in the tradition of the 'Family Struggles' characters..

😎 🏉...............it all makes sense now! !

😎.....................Well, I'm glad Nathan and Robbie bumped into each other, perhaps they can resolve their ending relationship and move on from each other. Rory is floating a couple feet off the ground with his continuing dates with Conner's sister, hmm....when will he announce that she is his girlfriend? Likewise, Robbie is being careful not to rush into another relationship, his brain says wait.... his other brain could have done it on the table in the diner! Did Robbie say that he saw that diner on the bus to school and it was never crowded? Good reason alone not to eat there, it was either the service or the food,, since they walked out okay it must have been the service! Morbid yes, I mean if you are a rational person then a will is a necessity to have the foresight to get ironed out. I certainly would not want to leave anything to Don or Sue. I'm sure the next episode Robbie has will land him in the hospital, great chapter!

Hmm, I was talking about emancipation from the adopted parents. That should allow him freedom to move and make his own judgement calls!

😎…………..I agree, although mentally Robbie was not ready to be on his own, he could have left his options open and if the need came to shove he could have rented a room somewhere (Rory's house?). Until his medical situation is rectified I think getting himself emancipated is not in his best interest. Problem is, Robbie has ignored the advice from people that really cared about him, it is obvious that Don held Robbie as a trophy catch and made himself look good by honoring his sisters wishes. It would be revealing if Robbie came across a journal or something left behind by his mother that shed more light on why she left Canada, and maybe some insight on her brother!
