hello, tell Brian i ned some money and he will take care of me, such a buntch of munchers
Author's Response: Brian feels he can never repay Debbie for all her support when he was younger. Hope you continue to enjoy this story. I reread the chapters you review which is fun - I notice all my typos! Bill

Aw, the boys have such big hearts, helping Deb by paying off her mortgage. <3 If only Michael weren't such a parasite, Deb's life would be less stressful and much happier.
It's so sweet the way Carl, Justin, Jen, Alice, and Brian are on the same wavelength about hosting Thanksgiving dinner. LOL, the way Brian relies on Justin to run interference so he can have as little involvement as possible. Justin can always pay him with blowjobs for being so magnanimous. ;)
Hooray! Joe's been expelled; the school took the right action. I wonder whether Frank will try some other type of revenge. Clearly, attempting to get other businesses to leave Kinnetik was bound to fail; those businesses want to be with the best ad agency, the one that brings in customers. I'm a bit worried that Frank might try some kind of physical attack.
Author's Response: Deb has been there for them when they needed her so I'm sure B&J are happy to repay her for her help. More on Mikey being Mikey in future chapter. It seems inevitable that Thanksgiving dinner be at B&J's house. Brain can pretend to hate things he actually enjoys while Justin takes care fo teh details. I think Justin is happy to "pay" Brian with oral attentions. I think Frank would be foolish to try anything physical, if he comes to the house Alice may seriously harm him. Thanks for another review!!!! Bill

sweet baboo, I forgot something! When David and Sara (another spoiled little bitch) were talking to Justin and Sidney they referred to Sidney's late wife as Naomi, in chapter 9 in your first story she was referred to as Norma. Can't wait for the Thanksgiving story, who will attend,who has a chip on their should, and what will mikey say about the boys paying Deb's house off, and questions about bidding on junk on the internet? I wish Joan would attend or see the children in the park Peter, John and their friend Patrick playing soccer against Brian,Gus and Kevin, Brian smiling and laughing and having a wonderful time being a father, uncle, and a special uncle to the boy's friends. No big deal about the name, just to let you know I noticed. Love ya, Sally
Author's Response: darlinf Sally, you are correct - her her name should be Norma. I must admit I am not the most organized of authors. My notes are on various pieces of paper in no particular order. Some things are written multiple times and others things not at all. Sometimes I have to go back and look in past chapters to fins something. My excuse is that I never, in my wildest dreams, thought this story would continue for so long. I am glad you are able to keep me on the staright and narrow. I think I get points for sticking with a "N" name!! Having Joan attend a family event, John's Birthday dinner, was not a success. I actually thought about her coming to Thanksgiving but decided against it. Maybe there will be a Christmas visit??? I'll have to see what inspiration hits me. I also have only a vague plan for the story. Most chapters have something happen that I didn't plan at all when I started to write the chapter. Thans again for keeping me honest!!!! Hugs, sweet B

Hello my darling, sweet B. : I very much enjoyed your chapter 5. This story like your first started on a high note and continued to raise the bar with each new chapter. I can't wait for the Thanksgiving story, who will attend how they get along, I hope it works well for everyone. Maybe Viola comes and brings Joan, Brian loves Jen but I bet deep down he needs his mother's love even if he doesn't admit it. Hope Debbie lets everyone know about her home was paid off by her boys, hope it makes mikey feel very small. Love, your Sally
Author's Response: My wonder Sally, always a treat to hear from you!! I am happy that you are still enjoying thislong saga. You are too kind with your comments!!!! I will only say that there will be a LOT of people at Thanksgiving dinner and there is the possibility of a big annoucement. I'm not 100% sure that Joan is capable of love for someone else??? I have never known Debbie to be close mouthed about anything so I'm sure she will spread the news. Mikey may feel happy that his mother will have more money to give him without having to pay a mortgage payment. Thanks for the review!!!! your sweet Baboo

Michael is a lying sack of shit.
nice chapter!
Author's Response: I can't disagree about Mikey. Glad you are enjoying the story. Thanks for letting me know!!!! Bill

Another great chapter. Go Justin...I'm glad he didn't mince words with Sara. Now if only someone could help Debbie understand that Michael is a grown man. Really the idea that Ben and he together cannot afford to take care of JR for two days a week is past belief. Debbie will work herself to death just because she can't see the real Michael. It is shameful the way he treats his mother. I'm sure when he hears that Debbie no longer has to worry about the mortgage that he will look upon it as an opportunity to get even more money out of her. What a leech. Glad to see Peter get some pampering. Enjoyed all the B&J interaction, as always. Such a pleasure to see how happy they are together. Hope Brian survives the Thanksgiving dinner.
Author's Response: Great to know that you enjoyed the latest chapter. Justin had tried being nice with Sara and that didn't seem to work. This approach seemed to be much more effective. In Debbie's eyes Mikey can really do no wrong. Once Mieky knows Debbie doesn't have to pay a mortgage that could be a problem. I think Peter enjoyed his day of pampering from Alice and Grandmom Jen, it was well deserved. Brian willingly signed up for th TDay dinner we'll see how he handles the reality of it all. I'm sure you know I LOVE to get reviews so thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bill

I should remember for future reference not to read this before I go to sleep. I actually had dreams about it, about a different ending to this chapter. I had to re-red it in the morning just to make sure my dream wasn't real. BTW...Deb had better be ok! (hint about my dream. woke up paniced!)
I can't believe what a complete boob Micheal is. Buying stuff online and having mommy supplementing his income. Pathetic! well, now that B&J know about it all, I'm glad they will be paying off the mortgage. I really hope that Deb stops deluding herself about Micheal. It's heartbreaking to see her working this hard and Micheal having no qualms about her doing it dispite her health.
Thrilled that Brian "came up" with the idea of having Thanksgiving at Britin. could prove to be an interesting evening! Just think...Mama bear (Jen) and Alice in protective mode...I can just see them coming down on the likes of Micheal at the dinner. alice's familiy won't know what hit them. LOL!!!
Another FABULOUS update!!! shame about the data loss on your previous chapter. You know I reviewed it already, but I'll try again when I have a few more minutes to spare.
And that little twerp being expelled...fantastic! HA!
Will await the next update with bated breath!!
really hope that Deb takes that week off properly and gets her health back to where it should. Now I'm really worried. (again...the nightmare I had)
cheers!!!
Elaine
Author's Response: Hi Elaine, just keep repeating to yourself, low angst story, low angst story, and you'll be fine. Debbie's high blood pressure is a "canon thing" she passed out at the diner in the series but she lasted until the end of the show. Not sure what it will take to hae Debbie to stop deluding herslef about Mikey. There is a lot of love & guilt that cloud her vision of her son. Alice's family did get a taste of the B&J world at the 4th of July party. I'm sure there are lots of discussions around the family dinner tables after spending time the the Taylor-Kinney home. It is great that Bob was able to restore the database but I am in deep mourning over the loss of reviews, so very sad. But life goes on and you and my other loyal readers help me forget the pain. LOL
Glad that you enjoyed this chapter and hope you sleep remians undisturbed. Thanks for all your support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bill

Another great chapter, Bill. Loved the conversation between Jennifer and her son, and the twist with Debbie. Not surprised she would be working extra hours to help support her son, even though his habit is as close to gambling as you can get. I can see the same type of adrenalin at work here. And that Sara is a piece of work! Glad that she was put in her place.
Oh, and is that quote from "Network?" You had me thinking about that from the start - ha!
Looking forward as always to your next chapter. Thank you. ~Kim
Author's Response: Hi Kim, I say the "Admin" and thought I was in trouble for something!!! Happy to know you enjoyed this chapter. Jennifer and Justin don't get a lot of opportunities but just one on one time. Jennifer is a great believer in tea & conversation. Debbie is always blind to any pf Mikey's faults. Is is kind of sad for both of them. You are correct that quote from "Network", you get trivia points for knowing that answer!!! I appreciate all your support!! Thanks, Bill

(Sorry I didn´t review lately, #RL kept me busy & exhausted)
Again, very nice chapter, new twists. Poor Debbie! I think she needs some eye-opening. So sad Michael blamed JR for his expenses.
Thanksgiving will be an interesting get-together.....Brian and Michael will meet...argh!
We will see! I am enjoying everything !
Author's Response: Happy to hear from you. Debbie is always so blind to any of Mikey's faults. He remains an immature selfish man. I agree that Thanksgiving will be interesting. Glad you are still enjoying the story. Thanks for the review!!! Bill
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: March 27, 2016 03:32 PM · On: Chapter 5
Surprise, surprise. What a wonderful holiday treat. Happy Easter. Now on to the story. Kids! What can you do with them. First we have Sara Bloom wanting to award rich kids, then we have Michael who is conning Debbie into giving him money she doesn't have. The good thing is that Joe was expelled.
With Sara, her father could discontinue funding the grandkids education. For Michael, perhaps with the Thanksgiving meal being at Brian and Justin's, someone could bring up just how much he's been paying for J.R. Somehow I don't think Ben has a clue that Mikey is getting extra money out of Deb, or that the comic book store isn't doing well.
Future chapters should be filled with wonderful details!
Author's Response: Happy Easter back to you!!!! Sara and Michael seem to want more no matter how much they get. I think you are correct about Ben not knowing about Debbie supplying Michael wth money. He no doubt keeps his "collection" at his store. Always great to hear form you. Thanks for the review!!!!!!!!! Bill
Reviewer: shf1210 (Anonymous) · Date: March 27, 2016 03:25 PM · On: Chapter 5
Sorry the MW fix lost my last review. So where and when will Brian yell at Michael before or after Thanksgiving Dinner. I know what Debbie's Christmas present is and would not be surprised if a few other appliances got replaced at the same time. I almost think losing Harkins might gain Kinnetic accounts from all the people who have been waiting for the bullies to lose. As to the babies and when people find out much as I want Jennifer and Alice to know I kind of hope Justin and Brian sit down first with John Peter and Gus and tell them what is going on by the way I now want a Boy and a girl instead of 2 girls just not 2 boys I think the drama will be in learning to deal with a girl and she will be a lot easier child than JR could ever be. As to Sara I think she may finally be getting it but I doubt it will stick maybe with both her father and brother making her stop she might but I see her trying again at least one more time to waste the foundations money. A new chapter is always a nice surprise was thinking April Fools day so early was a surprise. Can't wait to read about Thanksgiving hope it doesn't take to long hint hint hint hint yeah yeah I am mentally beating you with a sledgehammer to get me more :)
Author's Response: U know I hate to lose reviews!!! First I have to say you are back in my mind again which is just a little creepy! I don't think losing Harkins will cause anyone to leave Kinnetik and his competitor will no doubt become a customer since Brian said the account executibe should offer that business a great deal. Gus, Jennifer as well as John & Peter will definitely be told about the babies before a general announcement. Gus will need some reassurance that Daddy & Papa will still love him just as much after the babies arrive. When even her family was telling her she was wrong may finnaly get through to Sara. I think her husband is the instigator there. I was able to discern your vague message about wishing for a new chapter. Thanks, as always for your support. Your comments are always fun to read, Bill
Reviewer: DavidR (Signed) · Date: March 27, 2016 06:26 AM · On: Chapter 5
I took exception to Justin’s reason for not giving the two plaques to
what may have been very deserving students. That they went to an
elitist school and most likely their parents were rich had nothing to do
with their getting the award. Not that there aren’t better placed to
spend the limited money the charity had, but Justin’s the reasons given
were wrong. As least that is the way I saw it and my objection is
much stronger, but …. I am moving on. I do believe that had Brian
been there, he would have corrected Justin.
I can’t wait until they tell Jen about the twins. She is going to be, well
I don’t have the words to describe how happy she will be. As a
reader, I am happy for her.
Michael is a collector. Collectors are not poor, they are often worth
a lot of money. but don’t have cash. I believe Michael has severe
problems.. A collector without money may as well be gambler. Just
paying Debbie’s mortgage is not enough. Some sort of intervention is
necessary.
Thanks for the Story and the Chapter.
DavidR
Author's Response: Don't forget that Justin offered Sara an alternative, profressionally printed certificates and gift certificates for the gallery gift shop. Justin just didn't think the charity should pay for those plaques. Her father and brother did agree with Justin. I am glad you were able to put that behind you!! You are right I think Jennifer will go crazy!!! I think the twins may be a Thanksgiving day announcement but they will have to tell Jen & Gus first. Debbie is so blind to all Mikey's faults. I like your analogy about collectors without money. Thanks for all your support I always enjoy your comments!!!!!!! Bill

Still loving this story and the updates are great. Thank you for continuing to write in this universe. I really liked how eveyone came together to help Debbie- now if only Debbie would realize that Michael is lying - we would all be in a happier place
Author's Response: I am happy to know you are still enjoying the story after all this time! Debbie has a hard time seeing anything wrong with Mikey even though everyone else sees his behavior very clearly. Thanks for always reviewing!!!!! Bill
Reviewer: tiger062 (Signed) · Date: March 27, 2016 06:00 AM · On: Chapter 5
I have so many harmful things I'd like to do to Michael going through my head right now. He really is a manipulative shit - poor Deb - but she really needs to wake up to what he's doing. Like Sara's behaviour - the bottom line - their behaviour won't change until they get 'cut off'- if then..... I wonder if Ben realizes how much Deb is giving Michael? Looking forward to what's next.
Author's Response: I agree that Debbie needs to wake up about Mikey but until she does there isn't much anyone else can do. I bet Ben doesn't know about Debbie's contributions because they go to buy toys on the internet for Mikey. Thanks for always being so faithful about posting reviews, I appreciate, love, love, love to read reviews!!!!! Bill
Reviewer: starfire64 (Signed) · Date: March 27, 2016 05:58 AM · On: Chapter 5
Oh boy, Sara started out being a little, you-know-what but after Sidney’s dressing down I’m glad she changed her tune.
That was really nice of B/J to offer to pay off Deb’s mortgage like that, now if they could only do something about Michael, LOL.
Mmmm, lemon bars, banana pudding and Lasagna…you’re making me hungry, haha. Looking forward to the next chapter : ) *Hugs* Janet
Author's Response: Hi Janet, I think Sara learned a lesson. Justin was not going to let her push him around again. B&J are grateful for all Debbie's help in the past. I think Debbie is too protective of Mikey for anyone to do something about him. I wish I had someone to make me banana pudding!!! Thanks for the review, I appreciate your support. Hope you and Mom have a great Easter!!! Bill
Reviewer: Blossomlegs (Signed) · Date: March 27, 2016 05:28 AM · On: Chapter 5
Fantastic update! Love Justin taking control and setting Sara straight.
Too bad Debbie just won't open her eyes and see the real Mikey. Glad Brian and Justin are there for her. Looks like Mikey isn't going to help Mel and Linz out with their new house either.
Brian better find his hiding place before Thanksgiving.
Fabulous as always! Thanks for sharing!
JoAnn
Author's Response: Hi JoAnn, glad to know you are still emjoying the story. I think the instances of bullying made Justin decidee not to take any more crap from Sara. Debbie really kind of help Mikey to not grow up and accept adult reponsibilities. Brian and Justin are grateful for what she has done for them in the past. Doesn't look like Mikey is going to provide much help for the new house. I'm sure Brian has some hiding places in mind. Thanks for the nice comments!!!!!!!! Bill
Reviewer: Lorma (Signed) · Date: March 27, 2016 04:51 AM · On: Chapter 5
Aww. Brian is a real softie. Michael is an overgrown fool that takes advantage of his mother. Unfortunately I know someone very much like him in real life.
Can't wait to read about Thanksgiving at the mansion.
Oh and I'm soooo glad that Justin told off that spoiled brat, Sara.
Author's Response: Brian has a hard time saying no to his Sunshine ans he knows Debbie isn't up to hosting Thanksgivng this year. He has a good heart but prefers not to be too obvious about it. Debbie plays right along with Mikey, they need some family counseling. I think Thanksgiving will be a very interesting day at the Taylor-Kinney home. Sara sure was outnumbered at that meeting, hope she learned her lesson. Thanks for reviewing, I LOVE to get them!!!! Bill

Such a good chapter, lots of action and lots of love. I like it that Jennifer and Alice know B&J well enough to know something is going on. And how well Brian is handling Thanksgiving.
Author's Response: Happy you enjoyed this chapter, thanks for letting me know. Wait until Aline & Jennifer find out what B&J are not telling them. I think that might be a Thanksgiving announcement. I think Brian is trying to be a good sport about Thanksgiving but his stress level will probably be pretty high. Thanks for the review!!!! Bill

Brian and Justin are such wonderful men.
Michael is a sneaky, selfish, money-grubbing POS.
Glad Joe got expelled.
Brian and Justin are so perfect for each other.
Great chapter.
Lorie
Author's Response: Mikey is a product of his upbringing. Debbie is a nice person but she has made Mikey helpless because she is always there to take care of his problems. Joe need to go, guess he is surprises Daddy couldn't fix it for him. At least he is learning early that his parents can't slve all his problems. Glad you enjoyed this chapter. Thanks for taking time to review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bill
