  1. Or he didn't take them regularly. Even after an initial good response, if the patient becomes over confident and doesn't take his meds as prescribed, or takes a break from them altogether, the virus can build back up to detectable levels and mutate to become resistant to the drugs that formerly worked. The five year survival rate seems to indicate it's not such a small percentage. See this recent article about HIV in the San Francisco area: http://www.sfaf.org/hiv-info/statistics/?gclid=CL6iqeSrv8YCFU4vgQodVE8MjQ?referrer=http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=Cpt8OeLKWVcndDovW-QPP86foCaCfzKEFqMmlixrc-qp1CAMQASgCYMnG7YmYpIgToAGwpvjkA8gBAaoEKE_QAU7HGeR1PBw6_8mDvasLkSpPFgSyyUP0JlU-YaTtLk0QLmML43CIBgGAB7jZhxuQBwOoB6a-G9gHAQ&ohost=www.google.com&cid=5GieVUQbioaGmXgKHnSDvIbEww6EzboUlKPBl2UUHuxEVg&sig=AOD64_3hLYzY-RGtJImR8cAJqaeQPy0uJQ&clui=0&rct=j&q=&ved=0CGIQ0Qw&adurl=http://www.sfaf.org/hiv-info/statistics/

    Chapter 2

    Will, Will, Will, while some may really dislike the guy, I could take a whole book from his point of view. JP's ED seems to have not been such a big issue when a little spice was added to the mix in a threesome and changing it up and other "work arounds" are important when such an issue occurs. In an otherwise healthy male, sexual function and desire should last at least another 20 years for JP. Cody's news about Kevin was a wake-up call for Will and hopefully he will take heed. A recent analysis of HIV in the San Francisco area showed: "The five-year survival probability among people diagnosed with AIDS between 2001 and 2013 was 78 percent for African Americans compared to 85 percent for whites, 87 percent for Latinos, and 91 percent for Asian/Pacific Islanders." Others have commented on Ace and I can only agree that he is one lawyer I would not take my case to. More please!
  3. Your enthusiasm for your story shines through and I am hooked.
  4. It is a sobering fact that more American lives were lost in our Civil War than in all the rest of our wars combined. Our country's greatness is not that it was perfect, but that we continue to try to perfect it as we grow and mature as a nation and a society. That growth is not always fast enough for some, but we have seen some recent progress.... This chart in Wiki lays out the war casualties by each conflict. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_military_casualties_of_war The link below is from the Department of Veterans Affairs which organizes the information differently but shows about the same numbers. http://www.va.gov/opa/publications/factsheets/fs_americas_wars.pdf
  5. Best Wishes for all our Canadian friends and family!
  6. As much as I am relieved about CJ, there are still so many in trouble starting with a friend shot and in the hospital. Autumn has plenty of plot lines just waiting further development and I for one, can't wait!
  7. Rick Astley this past weekend in London Ok but not nearly as entertaining as Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars on Ellen....
  8. One of my favorite chapters and one of my favorite songs by Gladys Knight!
  9. Shy Andrew has blossomed! Now if you just start writing and posting that magnum opus you have inside you, I will be happy! DDK
  10. Well it's after midnight in her time zone, so: Happy Birthday Slytherin! a.k.a. Little Blue One & Grumpy Bear! May your day be truly special and your joy remove all grumpiness!
  11. I'm still trying to guess where Mark is heading with his intriguing title and my best guess is that it will have multiple meanings for several of his characters. But it certainly seems to point to the relationship between Stef and JP as a starting point. Will it have some resonance for Will and Zach, or Matt and Wade, or JJ and Alex, or Alex and ME, or Brad and Marc, or all of them? Or perhaps even more?

    Chapter 1

    Dinners at Escorial are usually entertaining, but this rehearsal dinner ranks with the best. Despite it being Will who started in on Brad, it was Stef who dropped the bombshell on Brad. Then almost as a walk-off line, Stef announces Brad is not the only one he is upset with and I bet it's JP. Great job on setting the hook on this new book in the CAP saga.

    Chapter 31

    Granger' s subterfuge with the forged cipher was brilliant. Jardines was a surprise and I wouldn't' t be surprised if he decided to stay. Lady Elgin remains a source of irritation. This chapter was very welcomed.
  14. A great victory for gay rights and the long fight which got its initial impetus at Stonewall so many years ago.....
  15. Why would Aaron ever admit he peed in the shower? P.S. Cards won tonight and are 48-24 on the season.
  16. RIP Patrick Macnee. I remember watching the show when it was first shown in the US.
  17. The truly sad thing is that in 1973 it was not a shocking story and barely made it into the national news and the heartlessness was never mentioned....
  18. Happy Birthday Stellar! & Many, many more!
  19. Considering how much water it takes to flush even a low flow toilet; Urinating in the shower while the water is running anyway is recommended as a conservation method.
  20. Happy Birthday Crafting Mom! & Many, many more!
  21. If you read Abel III's Awakening you know it involves telepathy. In my story, Basking Sharks on earth formed a primitive telepathic network in the world's oceans and seas. The news from Australia shows a picture of one that was inadvertently caught and the article is located at the following URL http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/huge-20ft-basking-shark-caught-accidentally-by-fishing-trawler-in-australia-to-go-in-museum/ar-AAbZ0qps The more descriptive Wiki article on this species is found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basking_shark These are gentle giants that eat plankton and fill a vital ecological niche in the world. The sad fact is that like the land, the oceans are in trouble too. DDK

    Dedication

    Very well done. I too think all four authors have contributed much and also are to be commended and recommended.
  23. That final phone call before being deployed is often heart-wrenching, theirs was even more so under the circumstances. Well done!
