Benji

😎…………….Well, I was glad that Rory and Robby had a good time t the party, with both of them coming out better then they went in. Conner sounds like a nice guy, I hope nothing (or no one) mess's up their new found budding friendship. Rory is the surprise recipient of a very determined young lady, I'm glad for Rory's upcoming date, I'm sure after a quick tour of the town Robbie may take Conner with him to visit a very nervous Rory, who is as bad in getting dressed for a date as was getting undressed for bed, hopefully Robbie will help pick out some clothes. I agree that Alex is turning back into the dominate player that Robbie once knew, and although Robbie may enjoy the pursuit game. I think he is done with being the submissive (that brain injury will raise it's ugly head) for now. He may even surprise Alex with his newfound 'attitude', In fact Sue seems to have become more aggressive lately around Robbie, Don must have really laid down the law with her. Or has he groomed her with his newly found church fellowship and beliefs? I do hope Nicola has not succumbed to her parents! Nice chapter, why do I see a storm coming up soon?

😎………….It is rare that I can pick a story that has laid dormant between chapters, and not have to re-read the prior chapter to see where it left off. I take it that Book II will pick up at UT, thanks for the ride!!

😎……………….I thought about that, but that is pushing things too quick and he needs rest. Besides Conner can always visit at Walters place! 🙄

😎……………..An ape? Never let an ex 'fix-you' up with a blind date, as pay back can be a bitch! Yet, sometimes it works out well, as in this case, I like Conner right off, whereas Nathan was your 'pretentious, self-absorbing got to the be center-of-attention kinda ex-bf. Conner is your every day bigfoot country boy, definitely different for our London based city boy. I like the lets go easy with relationship and just get to know each other first. Don and Sue don't get to vote in Robbie's choice of friends, just as Robbie doesn't get any say in their new church friends invading the cramped family home to practice whatever craft they chose. Okay, I got curious and looked up Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) The symptoms include physical complaints (dizziness, fatigue, headaches, visual disturbances, trouble sleeping, sensitivity to light and sound, poor balance), cognitive changes (poor concentration, memory problems, poor judgment and impulsivity, slowed performance, difficulty putting thoughts into words), and psychosocial concerns (depression, anger outbursts, irritability, personality changes, anxiety). Good news is these symptoms are part of the normal recovery process and are not signs of brain damage or medical complications. These symptoms are expected as you get better and are not a cause for concern or worry. The majority of patients with PCS (Post-Concussion Syndrome) recover completely in 3 to 6 months. For a minority of patients, approximately 20%, symptoms may persist for a longer period of time. Most patients don’t develop PCS symptoms until days or even weeks after the accident, but the syndrome can begin sooner. Either way, the symptoms often disappear without any special treatment. I still think Robbie should be reevaluated by a competent doctor that recognizes a concussion injury to the brain, and Robbie needs to be truthful in revealing his symptoms. A week of rest without stress, (definitely not at home with Don, Sue, the family, the church group and Alex's uncontrollable little brother) Perhaps Rory's house or maybe Walter's place! Great chapter!

😎…………….It wasn't me that had the trauma, She had this happen in 1998 and died 2013, making a moderate recovery.

😎………...Had to get a new one in August myself, I know the feeling!

😎………...No, unfortunately I got a crash course in TIA's, stroke's and blood clots. The TIA's started first, leading to the discovery of a blocked coronary artery, following surgery to remove the plaque build-up in the area. A 5% chance of the plaque breaking off and entering the brain happened, resulting in a severe brain injury by rupture of the artery causing swelling into the brain. This resulted in a massive stroke, affecting memory loss (it took a year of nightly reminders for her to understand that they had a stroke), speech and motor movement.

😎 Exactly what I envisioned!! 😋

😎………………..Wanna make a guess at his costume? Zorro perhaps?

😎……….I'm pretty sure it is not a stroke, even a TIA (precursor) exhibits signs of lost time episodes and memory loss. Robbie showed signs of perhaps a undiscovered blood clot that triggers when he is stressed.

😎………….Well damn, I was 99% sure Rory wasn't gay before, and Robbie just had to push him to confess it. 😂 Home sweet home for Robbie, is adding to his problems with 'Clueless Sue' and 'knuckle dragging Don' conspiring to make the family a religious enclave, I'm sure they will soon make the meetings weekly and attendance by the entire family mandatory. Of course if Robbie 'converts' the rest of the kids can get a reprieve from the weekly meetings (I hope the kids revolt). But somehow I see Don prevailing for a little bit, and Robbie collapses from it in a combination of head injury and mental fatigue. I also have a feeling that Don and Sue might be seeing a Judge very soon! Thanks for another chapter, And have a Happy New Year!!

😎………….I no longer want pets either, too much to maintain them. If I did have any pets it would be an outside Dog with a heated and a swamp cooled dog house. (so much for the animals!) So a new troubled kid in school, it does sound like a 'new' addition to Kyle and Blu's household is brewing. I'm going to guess that he is a foster kid and comes from rotten parents that left the courts no option then to place him into the system. I'm also going to assume he is an only child from that family, otherwise his anger would have been more orientated towards 'grownups' instead of his peers also! Thanks for the chapter! Have A Happy New Year!!

😎…………… Well, Robbie seems to withdraw into himself as a defensive posture when he feels confronted. I guess that is a panic attack, and Don realizes it triggers Robbie. He could be in deep trouble with the Church as an easy victim just waiting to be manipulated into conversion therapy. Another seemly clue to his vulnerable position is his relationship with Alex, where Robbie likes the feeling of being dominated. I think Walter also senses this of Robbie, and has conferred with Robbie's principle. Sue of course is incompetent and as stated earlier has no backbone, probably why Don married her as she is easily pliable in Don's hands. And Nicola is ignorant to what danger Ronnie senses, as she was before when Robbie's appointment with Mr. Symmonds with her suggestions for Robbie's appointment. I think that it was also noticed that Robbie doesn't like feeling confined in small places and perhaps Don's study was purposely chosen with that in mind. Great chapter! If Mr. Andrews can't get through to Robbie, maybe Walter can!

😎……….Ah, what's a couple of years? Nah, don't worry about it, it's when the readers forget the author is still writing the story that you should worry! 😆

😎…………...Say What!! Some 'basketball kid' named Jarrod comes out of nowhere and attacks Aiden? This is still strange, I mean is Jason on the level or is this just retaliation from the schools jocks who think that Aiden turned Kason gay or something? There is a lot here that doesn't make sense in this story, is Jason on the level or is he playing both sides of the field leaving Aiden at the 50 yard line? I'm honestly confused, which is strange for me in a story. But every time there is a fuck up with Aiden, Jason is just out of reach and a minute late! It doesn't add up. Great chapter! Something is not right!

Nah, just looking for trailers,,,,Look it up 2:42 *OFFICIAL Stranger Things Season 3 Trailer (Netflix Original Series)

😎………..Idiot's don't know how to brush their teeth! Watching Stranger Things trailers for season 3

Yeah I know, but I was referring to your ego hat's head, not your raincoat one.

😎………..….While you guys are playing with Barbie dolls, I need to know if Melvin went to any GSA meetings and if his Daddy is still locked up? Good Chapter

😎………...Yes, but I know if we give you credit your head will swell, and I know you don't like that!! 😆

😎………...Nope, can't say I have, but the VA was great and my eyesight is much (MUCH) better then before 12/28/16 is when they sent me to a specialist for eye injections. I had an (for lack of a better term) eye stroke, the inside of the eyes are still ruptured and after 2 years they are using a different medication, they decided to fix the cataracts in the mean time so that I could see.

😎………..………..Ya'll leave Benji out of this little skirmish!

😎………..….I was in gymnastics in high school, (I wasn't fast enough for basketball and definitely not tall nor heavy enough for football). I think Crawford had a gymnastic team back then 68' - 72', I was not bad, but not college material.

😎………..…..Well, nice going and I'm only 9 months late! But I do have a good excuse. My eyes were going on me (I still have treatments involving injections into my eyes once a month) but the VA took care of my cataracts and did the surgery, and new lense in them, just got the new glasses on Monday. Plus I beat out 2 different cancers during the year, the prostate is cured, and the cancer in the lung is in remission. Not bad for an old Marine Vietnam vet. I hope Wesley recovers form his loss, I don't know but I can only assume that his mother wasn't always a terrible person. Melvin was a big surprise, and sounds like a self-loathing closet case, perhaps his father found out recently. however I suspect his abuse has been going on for a long time anyways. Good chapter!

Sorry, I thought this was your quote; Yes, but many years after I had graduated. I certainly never met him or any of the other famous people who are also Alumni. RuPaul wasn’t happy with the school – or San Diego. I went to school in San Diego, graduated in 72' went to Madison High.  2
