Well, welcome back,, like it's been said, the more people are posting and getting involved, the more fun we are likely to have.

Hey Andy!! Officially welcome,, It's always great to see new people getting out of their lurking habit and simply start posting... Welcome!!!

Hey! welcome to the forums here on GA. I really hope that you'll find good times here!

And for those that are too lazy to go check that link (nice research gary,,) it will dehydrate the vocal folds and that will be bad for them as in straining them. So doing that, even the day before is a bad idea. It would lead to the singer to have nodule on their vocal chords earlier (one of many factor). They'd then need surgery,, and basically finish one's singing career. That why singers like Madonna (and she had wild days,,,), Celine dion (I know they're not good example in this case, as Instinct are a rock band, but they're the only ones that I know for fact) won't use alcohol at all during tours and recording period. Granted, you'll hear about band and artist that seems to be famous on drugs and all those things,, but they're more into making themselves talked in the news and selling albums than to preserve their instrument and having a long career. And I like to think that Instinct are more than a "I'm in for getting all the money while I can" band. BTW I gotta say,, I'm surprised that no one is screaming cliffhanger!!

"Eyes On Me" - C

or more commonly called Speech and Language Therapists I dunno for band,, but I know that many singers won't take alcohol at all when they are touring,,, (and of course those that are more on party, will let loose right after the last show ended,,) some other that are more known for their vocal will go as far as, almost, not talking the day of a show

On the first question, I do think it's close enough, in this chapter, there's nothing that tells us that they got the fix on every second. So it's reasonable enough to think that they at least got those few fixes, like it would have probably happened. I don't think that we really needed to get more inside adam Creston's head. Like it's been said, he's a minor character, we only learned of him in this chapter. Therefore, what we read about him now was good enough. He did screwed up. I hope for him that helen won't want to get in touch with him to hand out sympathies... There's still one thing that's bother me a little,,, no respectful singers, at least not if they want to have a long career/in their right mind, would be drinking alcohol like they're doing before or after concert like they've been doing. Alcohol irritates the vocal chords, that combine with and activity such as singing for 2 hours ,,, it's not really recommended by any orthophonist.

btw nice story Rose, good work jason too,, n I'll also say not being caught naked,,,

That wasn,t that fast,, but was nice to hear you swear under your breath and do you mean the underwear that I'm now wearing

Oh c'mon tim, LOL who are you kidding, you, slowing down,,, the last time you said that you'd slow down it lasted for less than a day... not that it's a problem

Have you ever got caught doing things that you "shouldn't" have been doing with another guy/girl? How did the other reacted. Obviously we might have to tone down the what you were doing part,,, For my part,, we nearly got caught,,, We had done our thing, but we were still in bed naked when we heard the door open (the side door,, they have the beeping from the alarm). It was my aunt coming in to get some of her stuff that was still at my place. I don't really need to say that we got dressed really fast. and went commando to see her.

ummm, mixing rum with coke,, that's really not something that I would think of doing.... Prolly not a morning drink. LOL.

Happy b-day!!!!! please have a really great one, have some fun, specially, today...

Congrats, c'est vraiment bien que tu l'aie r

I'll say that they have it a little harder. In the sense that, there will always be those people that will be expecting you to cheat on them and go and do things with someone of the opposite sex. a few weeks ago, there was this poll about, would you go out with a "bi". If I remember right, quite enough people were vocal enough to say that they would not. Also, after finding the guy that won't mind about not being "100%" gay, well you'll have to face their friends and family that will prolly be thinking also, 'don't go out with this guy, he's bi, he'll end up hurting you'.

ah! to be totally honest, the first time that I've looked at porn on the computer was for gay porn. The times that I've seen straight porn, well I was more occupied at eyeing the nice naked guy than the naked girl,

It is indeed a very informative article. It's really a shame that quite many people have got their life miserable because of where they lives. It really put lots of things into a brand new perspective. It puts our problems about being gay in our day-to-day life to a lower level when you see that in some other country they face the same problems and have also to fear much more important problems,

It is indeed enough to be a little worried about. Our body being exposed to all those antibiotics can certainly cause some drug resistance. meaning that when (or if) you actually need to take those, your body won't be affected as it would be and will need a stronger dose. But the thing is, in general people takes medications for any little problems. Sometimes at moments where you didn't really needed to take those meds. that's just as bad and even more to worry about than really really low level of meds in the drinking water.

Finally, this mean that eventually,,, I'll get to read the chapter,,,

you mentioned it, but I'll say it again. You said that you had the ideas for the story, that you're basically scared and don't know where to start. I'd tell you start writing the scene the moment that you have in mind, then when you'll be comfy enough with the story, the characters, you'll be able to join the scenes together fairly easy.

Congrats Kevin!!!! Thanks for being part of the community! it's always very pleasant to hear about you opinion on all the topics. They're always insightful and never are they off topic. congrats sacha

You got a point,, Indeed, if you think about it, by the time that they get back to the states, (Scar still needs instinct to fly his bomb in the states) more than a few *week* will have gone by. Is there a possibility that it simply wasn't any of the instinct member or associate?

Exactly my point,, it seems like Eric doesn't realize that not everyone is like him. Not everyone want to do all those things. Trying to force Wilde into doing things that he don't want, It won't be good for Wilde and might make some harm indeed.

Ya but what for? CJ don't write things just to write it. It must have some kind of reason behind it. I don't see why CJ would kill the both of them,,

In general, the stories idea that I get comes from fears that I have, events that I lived or simply events in the news. I'll just take them as i'd like them to happens or had some romance them.
