  1. Definitely an oddity, but I've heard that everybody has a doppelganger somewhere. I feel sorry for mine. 😀 Interesting will turn out to be an understatement. Cool. I tried to make the first impression a whole lot different from the person.
  2. Well, since I'm not a psychologist, I probably won't make him suffer too long or too deeply. Starting at the bottom, for sure. Me too. Hehe. Another body part will be rolling, not literally.
  3. There will be bumps, for sure.
  4. Sunday night, August 20 Aside from skin tone, Rosa Cruz looked a lot like Janice Bennett. Adam didn't seem to notice or didn't say anything about it at the party. His subconscious noticed and brought it to the surface shortly after bedtime. Jeremy and I went to bed a couple hours after Adam. We thought we heard crying coming from his room. After a few moments of listening at the door, we knocked. After getting no response for a few seconds, we knocked again. Once again, we waited a few seco
  5. I don’t know what to say except to echo what everybody else has already said. Sad, but beautiful. I’ve commented elsewhere that I don’t show my emotions well. Unfortunately, that means I didn’t use half a box of tissues, but I did need to wipe away a few tears. Well done, sir.
  6. Silent and what???
  7. Nope, but I like making the homophobes pay. It should happen more IRL.
  8. Yep. That he is. Thanks for reading.
  9. Sorry you went through that. I won’t ask who, but whoever forced you to do that was sooooo wrong.
  10. Death sometimes brings out the best in most people. In general, people are sympathetic. For now is accurate. Seven-year-olds who lose their mother tend to have some uncharacteristic reactions. Not a spoiler, just truth from personal experience. But that drives a lot of what we write, doesn’t it?

    Chapter 7

    You are correct about TJ Maxx.
  12. It’s a difficult time, for sure. Nailed it coz, been there, done that, unfortunately.
  13. Do the morons get what they deserve? We'll see. I love books. I have 5 bookshelves full of them in my home office. We'll see about the cat. I have 8, so it's definitely possible.

    Chapter 7

    Odd that this is an upbeat but also a somewhat sad chapter. Being a Yank, I didn't know who Alan Turing was. Sounds like he left this world too soon, he could have made a bigger difference. I suspect I'll be in the UK next year or the year after, my younger daughter is engaged to a young man from Covington. Too far from Manchester to check it out though.
  15. I'm a geek, so throwing that search in was an easy add. It shouldn't take too much to figure out what the 215k is for, but that will become clear in the next chapter.
  16. Saturday I wake up at 8:00. Dominic is still asleep. I figure I'd let him sleep as long as he wants, these next few days are going to be brutal for me. I can't even imagine what will be going through his mind. First things first. Coffee. I know first thing Monday is we find a psychiatrist or psychologist, whatever. I know he'll need counseling. No reason not to go with him. But there are probably a million things to do before then. Mrs. Hollander will be calling sometime today, I'm sure tha
  17. You ain't just whistling Dixie.
  18. Even if she did, it was water under the bridge for Jeremy. With the windfall from his father, being booted wasn't a terrible thing. Once Adam was in the picture, it was inevitable. Geez, now you're at least two chapters ahead with your predictions. And yeah, if the co-workers did hear about it, as you could tell from her telephone conversation with Mrs. Perch, Dawn wasn't very well liked. That just gave me an idea for an addition to chapter 22.
  19. I like having intelligent children in my stories. Yes, the hammer is falling hard. If my research is correct, because the amount embezzled is over $100k, it's actually a first-degree felony. The fine doesn't change, but the sentence does. I initially had fewer instances but bumped the number up to hit that threshold.
  20. Chapter 21 is nothing. Chapter 22 is where, like Queen sang, she's waiting for the hammer to fall.
  21. I think the phrase 'lining their own pockets' fits the situation well. Not to spoil it any further, but more will be revealed in the next chapter.
  22. Friday August 18 Judge Ridge told Dawn Prescott she'd be checking that Dawn shared a memo regarding the foster care system. Today's the day. "Broward County Child Protective Services, this is Julia, how may I direct your call?" "For the moment, Julia, I'm hoping you can help me yourself. This is Judge Ridge. Has Mrs. Prescott shared a memo regarding the recommending of the foster care system this week?" "Not that I'm aware. I didn't get one, and she didn't dictate one to me."

    Chapter 6

    Another fun chapter. But it sucks getting caught up. Now I need to wait like everybody else for his Baxter fix.

    Chapter 5

    Things are looking up for our heroes. Hopefully they’ll soon believe they really do have a home with Max and Daisy, I mean Stacy. Oh, and congrats on giving Dr. Bowels (great name by the way @Anton_Cloche) the boot. I usually treat homophobes pretty nastily in my stories. I’m hoping maybe he’ll fall in the tube and lose a leg.
