Flip-Flop

A lovely chapter❣️ I was happy with the names of hours you gave us in the previous chapter, seeing them in a progressive order made sense to me. The order of days, not so much. I linked to the comment for future reference, I don't think it should have been posted as hidden content. 😊

Things are moving right along, but these are really just the first steps in the process! I am looking forward to hearing about the possible rental home, that doctor mentioned. If their good luck holds out, it could be "just what the doctor ordered" to meet their interim needs! Photography could become another source of John's artistic expression and income, to share with the future gallery visitors❣️

Another excellent chapter showing Josh that he has again, found out what it is to be part of this loving family and a growing support base. Cam and Jordan are doing their best to ease his troubled thoughts. Fixing him up with a good psychologist would only help him to accept and understand how he can keep making progress in his emotional journey, that lies ahead. 😍 Olivia appears to be a very smart and caring girl!

I was asking how many Kee's words his imagination made up/created himself, in the telling of his stories, (skwish)) being an example. Not total words in his many stories, but words we now use and understand, due to his telling of his many stories. Geron's own made up words/language! @Geron Kees's speak, I 🥰 call it.

Charlie's plan has piqued the interest of the Loturi, but what could the inhabitants of this planet be thinking? Have they also taken an interest in Charlie' deceptions? A stray thought came to me while reading this chapter. In the 28 Charlie Boone adventures, just how many new words has @Geron Kees created?

There is a silent understanding taking place, with Cedric taking a welcoming lead. in helping the young monks to adjust to life outside of the temple. The reader is also being led to understand more about the unusual make up of this society's culture. An interesting deeper look, raising more questions, than answers. Very descriptive story telling!

A very awkward meeting between two gay antisocial professionals, who could be described as a loners, each hiding their own secrets and desires. Nothing seems likely that these two would ever care if they came across each other again. But we know that @lomax61 has his own ideas about that, and we readers are just along for the ride, at this point. 🤔 It will surely be one with its share of rough and uncomfortable travel at times. Buckle Up!

First take care of your medical needs, we can deal with a delay, but not with you ignoring medical advice. ⚕️ Another great chapter establishing a working relationship and ground rules with "Investigator". This ship will do its best to comply with the team's desires, and to keep them safe. This will turn out to be a bonding adventure for the gang and Investigator. Take care @Geron Kees❣️

I chuckled about that helmet image when everyone was putting on their sleek space suits, in our story

Lots of projects were explored, and major decisions were decided or tentatively made. The couples reaction to the incident at the school revealed that their children's well being was a number one priority for Andrew and Ryan❣️ Excellent chapter, and now they are headed on major adventures, while many projects were taking place in their absence. They could always keep up to date and connected via phone or laptop. Much is happening while their children and businesses continue to mature!

This could also be the beginning of a new story. What happens when two former priests try to start a new life together, with very few possessions other than their shared love? Their future experiences, and establishing themselves within the non-priesthood world, could provide a very interesting tale! No pressure at all, just a random story thought. How and what would they do, to earn their living, to support themselves in their new life together, from such an unpretentious start? Or just a true epilogue to this story.

It does seem that there will be much to unpack, after reading this opening chapter!

Wow! That was fun. "The wizard does not choose the wand. It is the wand that chooses the wizard." Could that also apply to long abandoned space ships? What could have happened to the previous owners of this lonely ship, that it has sat there unoccupied for such an unimaginable period of time? Are the two minds now creating a relationship, or a "Spock like mind meld"? I think this ship will turn out to be very helpful, and willing, to meet the gang's needs❣️ Seal the deal, and take the ship out for a spin into our current investigation!

It is going to take me awhile to adjust to being in Calvin's mind and thoughts for this new story. Jonah was not the best poster-boy for good judgement, but Calvin seemed to always make questionable, hormone filled leaps of faith, about cute guys, and his acceptance of how they would treat him. A different Kildare who is looking for love, and also is bringing lots of baggage along with him. We will have to see how @irivera will work his magic with yet another lonely and very stressed Kildare.

This seems to make our gang much more comfortable with doing business with Edrich, if he has a ship that may fill their needs now, and into the future. Getting another ship could help with their transport. investigative, and personal needs. This case may turn out to be a good test. as to how a new ship is capable at filling their needs. This is just an example of the gangs ever growing business, and their search for a quality ship, for future adventures. On with investigating the current curious case, for their new and fairly unusual client❣️

Although we together don't have the long time shared history that you have with others, I was very concerned about you! Just the other night, I checked when was the last time that you had joined us on GA, and the DiC. It is so nice to have you back with us! As you said, don't be a stranger! We do care about you, and your well being!

A beautiful chapter in so many ways! Emotions: fond memories, amazing natural vistas, and envisioned dreams of their future together, all merging into a grand feeling of completeness❣️ A great chapter @Albert1434. It just seems like it was the time and place, for rejuvenation of a missed opportunity to take place.

Before you revealed your magic AI photo maker, I wondered what that heading was all about? Hovering over it, it showed no link arrow by my Chromebook browser. What a delightful surprise it was that I could open the image 😁 to see your AI photo creation of the lovable two characters, which both are adorable! Browbeat was simply amazing, I love it❣️

Browbeat's transformation process started this chapter, and the visitor stalking old Mr. Elias Grampet seems to have mastered the transformation process also, by becoming a younger version of Elias Grampet! He seems to contain Skwish and other unknown powers and used old Elias to lead him to Charlie, and his "all or none gang". A great start to yet another @Geron Kees July Fourth adventure❣️

Yes that is the perfect image to sum up the their current legal problems! The rats are now struggling to grab on to anything, in order to save their own butts from this shipwreck of stupidity! And @Lee Wilson is dreaming up his own version of a soon to arrive tidal-wave of justice, to sink their hopes. How fitting this appears to be! I would bet the tidal-wave will strike down hard, crushing them dearly.

Atticus and John are extruding confidence, as their plan is coming together. Now they have piqued the interest of a general. It is "The General" in charge of Central Command, the big fish in the Central Command leadership pond! Atticus cast the bait, and John was at hand, ready to help reel him in, only if they are able to set the hook. Good fishermen know how to entice the fish into taking the bait. There are tricks to make it as appealing as possible, without scarring the catch away. Will he bite, what is dangling so invitingly in front of him?????? We shall find out soon❣️

Loved it all❣️ We needed someone like Victor, to force the story along into the many volatile situations, but in the end he sneaked off, like a thief in the night. Keep writing because you have a unique slant to your characters, as evident in this story. Yes, the characters you created were wonderful and imperfect. Except for Karen, who was just the perfect foster mom for Jonah! Very well done and I am looking forward to see what other stories pop into your head, because this one was outstanding! Happy to have you with us at GA.

Many stories will come from the quick decisions that John made in this chapter. It is good thing that John has deep pockets, because the cost of the property will be minor, compared to the cost to fulfill his ideas for it, and his future! That future will surely include a life with Ethan at his side. I can't even imagine how long it will take to make the house livable for him and Ethan. This will be a major rebuild project for them to bring their dreams for it, to completion. I can see they will have a need for a temporary home base much bigger than a B&B room, before they will be able to move into the house. This was a chapter filled with beautiful dreams, lots of work, and great expectations of a very bright future❣️

This was a truly a well thought out and written chapter, filled with great emotion and unexpected surprises! All the characters played their roles to add the constant tension in the courtroom, and the overwhelming supportive joy at the judge's decision. @irivera has delivered another wonderful chapter, in his impressive story❣️

The Tipping Point title reflects what is happening in this carin, and according to the gossip, some of the other carins are turning into open rebellion against Central's control of all carinmates! This chapter shows that bonding and personal contact is a humankind need, and being able to experience that freedom once again, will result in never wanting to return to the old Order 412 restrictions. Could the rescinding of 412 be part of Central's attempt to identify the troublemakers to its total control, or just their attempts to retain it? 🤔 Their reasons for the Order change seems to be questionable, and hard for me to accept on face value. Yes the plot has thickened, and Atticus is now all in with John's plan. I loved the personal contact and interactions of the 3 couples and their needs and reasons to be together. Well written, and added more insight to the crew members and the leadership of Atticus and John. Looking forward to seeing what will take place in chapters 4 and 5 soon❣️ You know that you really want to share.
