  1. I can't believe no one included Nilsson Without You
  2. So many author's names from the past....has it really been 9 years ago?

    Another Valentine! Thanks! Now I want more...

    Chapter 56

    Sabrina is from Bertie's branch and why do I expect she's even worse than imagined? Will stood up to Nana and did so without causing a melt down. I still don't trust Wade's scheming mother and it appears she knows something she has not shared. Somehow "Danger, danger Will Robinson" is echoing in my head. P.S. Thanks for the Valentine's present.
  5. Loved the chapter, especially loved the ending. My only quibble was the line about sucking the air out of the city...it was most of the country!
  6. I've always believed writers should write about what they know and everyone should know their hometown. Having said that, if you write about another locale, please do your research as someone will always be willing to take offense that you got it wrong. I've seen lot's of writers use a fictional locale because they don't want to identify places that someone might want to check out....and be disappointed. If you take artistic liberties with locales, it might be best to add a chapter note alerting everyone.
  7. For anyone visiting south Florida during the next two months, consider visiting Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, : https://www.springtrainingonline.com/teams/st-louis-cardinals.htm
  8. Yup! I have Google Earth Pro on my desktop and it does have street view as I just checked out the Sydney Opera house and the Bridge as well.
  9. Business in addition to law...ambitious and smart and another extra year. Now I need to go and google again all the Aussie sites mentioned. I wonder if google street view works down under?

    If Zach isn't toast yet, he should be. Patrick is just a diversion for Will. Darius' take on Beladona was interesting. The get together in Virginia has the potential to be dramatic and hopefully revealing for us poor readers lost in the thicket of competing theories and speculation.

    Poor Jake. After that marathon, a week will seem like a month.

    Chapter 12

    The collateral is certainly captivating.
  13. More shut eye!
  14. ... The vignettes are spare and well written...I like this tight format, but my preference is for a bit more background and detail.

    I hope the author gets motivated to continue...it was getting really interesting.
  16. Saw this story listed on RickP's page and decided to take a look ...and liked it. On to the next chapter.

    Chapter 54

    Will does think well on his feet, even when emotions are a tilt-a-whirl. The revelations about Lord Preston were ominous and JP's reservations about not warning him seem unwarranted....which leads me to wonder what Mr. Arbour has planned. More please!
  18. While I do view the site on my tablet, I still select the desktop site on my 8 inch tablet. Oh, by the way, I did view the video above on youtube and subscribed...

    Chapter 1

    Based on the first paragraph, I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak...
  20. Yeah, I agree...but it used to be forty...

    Brad sure received a surprise from Jake. Immunity to HIV is not completely unknown but is so rare as to be still a partially unanswered question. Here is the Wiki link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innate_resistance_to_HIV The estimate is that people with some resistance to HIV is less than 1%. There is no firm estimate of the number who have complete innate resistance...
  22. Not all is so well with the RAMS as noted in the following article their TV rating in LA is only an 8 share on average for the 2017 season. http://www.stltoday.com/sports/football/professional/st-louis-outdraws-la-in-tv-ratings-for-rams-playoff/article_7175561d-259d-5b3b-adc0-c9c72507e4fe.html
  23. In the past I used either Firefox or Chrome and sometimes was running both, but over the past few months I've only used chrome. When I used both I noticed when I opened task manager that each browser started to gobble RAM. So I started monitoring when using just one or the other and I found that Chrome was using less memory. There are some slight display differences and I think that Firefox is better on mobiles than Chrome from that perspective. However, since i prefer to visit the site on my desktop, chrome it is. My desktop is over ten years old and uses an AMD phenom chip with four cores. It upgraded to Windows 10 pro 32 bit which I've been running since Win 10 came out. My internet is fairly fast and on Speedtest just now showed 76 Mbps on this desktop with five other devices connected including tablets and smart phones. Accordingly, I don't have any problems with speed of pages loading or even with uploading info to the site. Actually, this site works very well compared to many sites on the net in my twenty-five plus year experience on the internet.

    Liam's rationalizations for not seeking help, including going to his parents seems to indicate something more than depression alone...

    You'd think these guys would learn to hold back a bit, since they all know too much about each other, but no, they enjoy stirring the pot, even if their's gets a bit stirred as well. For us reader's it's almost voyeuristic and yes I enjoyed it. More Please!
