OK, Jake is definitely gay and Danny is at least adventurous. Jake zeroed in on Danny's dad and his flexing buttocks in a telling way. But these guys are 9th graders and hardons are a fact of life several times a day.

Wildone gets an "attaboy" for the shout-outs for @Dabeagle and @Mark Arbour

JJ is actually beginning to grow up and Brad is Brad. Wade is a first hand observer and facilitator in negotiations between two of the coldest bitches ever written. Thanks for the story!

I don't understand why Jett doesn't just throw the old fossil out. No one has a right to treat their children like grunts in boot camp.

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, and the distance in time between this and the last chapter bears that out. Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you! I hope your personal situation improves and that you and yours are staying safe during the current health crisis. As usual George has an eye for the men and I think the young Von Beckendorff is about to have a conquest of his own.

Thanks! I thought the e-mail name was catchy and easy to remember!

Let's just say I am eagerly awaiting the fireworks to follow!

Our hospitals and doctors are great at dealing with physical wounds. The invisible wounds to the psyche are much harder to diagnose, treat, or cure and can be intractable. While most people have heard of PTSD, most people don't know that there can be a delayed onset, sometimes months or years after the initial traumatic episode.

Sometimes dreams do come true and thrown-away kids survive and flourish!

Carina, Jett and Theo/April all with an interest in Jay who is enjoying being the center of attention. I think things could be easier to sort out than the protagonists think. That's my guess and I'm sticking to it.

Thanks!

I'm glad you enjoyed my little story. Thanks for reading and commenting.

In the worst of times it is important to remember to

I am really enjoying this soap opera and I wonder how long it will take Carina to figure out that April really is Theo....

I thought so, but had to look it up and found from Wiki: "The 1966 FIFA World Cup was an international association football tournament played in England between 11 and 30 July 1966. It was the eighth FIFA World Cup, the first having been played in 1930. England defeated West Germany 4–2 in the final to win their first World Cup; the match had finished at 2–2 after 90 minutes and went to extra time, when Geoff Hurst scored two goals to complete his hat-trick, the first and as of 2018 only to be scored in a World Cup final, with spectators storming the pitch during the fourth goal. England were the fifth nation to win the event, and the third host nation to win after Uruguay in 1930 and Italy in 1934. Brazil were the defending champions, but they failed to progress from the group stage." Loved the chapter, and the outcome....!

The camaraderie of the group has always been a hallmark of the series and this chapter displays that beautifully. Loved it!

Welcome! Look around and browse the various forums and threads!

Yup, that was just a plainly cruel cliffie!

You had to mention the Nat's 2019 win...and I don't blame you!👍

So Billy knows Andrew's dad...that could prove embarrassing and troubling.

A truly wonderful ending to a beautifully told love story!

April is learning how to handle Jett and deflects well. But he still thinks Jett is better at the game. April is still worried about Sabrina's dad and instead of telling Jett, is trying to figure it out himself.

That was hot!
