HA! Michael once more shows us what an egotistical clingy idiot he constantly proves to be. Then he tries to back-pedal out of it to no avail. I was expecting something and this result exceeded my wildest ideas. Well done.

And Justin is awarded the murals' contract; that's going to be a considerable amount of work, for a considerable payday(s).

Got to do some SSW work next. I'm looking forward to returning to this story very soon.

Always good to add some feel good events to a story - sort of balances out the angst or any drama happening. It seems your story has B&J with money like dirt. My stories did that, too.

I know you're not very fond of Michael, neither am I but I do hope the way he thinks about Justin changes somewhat in the sequel.

I have been waiting for your story to be completed before I started reading.  I have been burned/disappointed in the past when a good stpry does not get completed.  That being said, I was not disappointed this story was wonderful.  Even though you left us hanging on several issues.  I can't wait to read the sequel.  You had me in  love with the big personality of Jennifer.  She was amazing.  Alice too.  You write beautifully.  You pulled me in and wouldn't let me go some nights way into the morning.  Darn that having to work thing!  Thanks again for a beauitful story.  Looking forward to finding out how things turn out.  Oh, I forgot I never liked Mikey, Lindsay or Joan.  Great job in writing them.

Hi Dee Dee, thanks for taking time to review.  I am really glad you enjoyed the story.  I enjoyed writing it.  Our likes and dislikes of characters seem to match up pretty closely.  Of course I love the Jennifer in this story, always lookig out for her boys.  I hope you enjoy Holiday Happenings.  If you are going to wait to read until that is completed it won't take as long as this story nut there will be another sequel following.  Thanks agaian for the review!!!!  Bill

WOW!! I am confused with a capital C. So...what is going on with Lindsay? Has she...just gone completely cray cray? So...was she just locked in the room planning the whole time to pull the rapo card or are these ligitimate flashbacks? Cuz...this is right out of left field here. I mean she was living there for a while with no problem with her father. 

But at the same time stealing petty cash, that whopping lie she told her parents about it, moving out of Mel's, starting something with Tom, crashing a party....these are all deliberate and intelligent acts that required planning and some sort of right mind thinking. Self desctructive, sure, but well, planning and knowing what she was doing.

So what's going on? Oyyy....my head hurts.

Author's Response:

Could she have bought that lock for the door because she didn't feel safe????  Lindsay semmed to feel betrayed a lot and always wanted someone to take care of her, almost seems like maybe she was looking for a father figure to make her feel safe and protected ot she could be a just a lying bitch.  Take an aspirin and maybe the final chapter of this story will satisfy your curiosity.  Bill

Reviewer: bktush (Anonymous) · Date: October 19, 2015 04:49 PM · On: Chapter 89

I've been reading your story all along, but I haven't reviewed the last three chapters. My 90 year mother passed away, I kept on reading you and three others, but couldn't get thoughts together to review. I'm late but I entend to go back and review. Mom was not really ill until the last ten days of her life, she had empisema, I did her breathing treatments and checked oxygen four times aday. Now your review! I was so happy that Kevin and Gus are still seeing each other I don't think Linds knows what a kind and caring son she has, everything is still about her, I think her parents should have some of the blame, they taught their two daughters they were entitled and better than other people her sister was married four times and she and Linds have led lives were reality never really took place. Mom and dad are still living that way. I was so happy that Brian told her off then he finally told mikey what he thought of him when mikey was telling Ted he was cheap . I've had it with that moron fussing about the price of doll furniture compared to what he pays for action figures rather than helping out with JR. Brian has changed he still loves his son, but found he had enough love for John and Peter an even little Kevin I think he finally figured the more love he gave he was rewarded with still more room to love, it problemley scares him to death but I think a baby girl would even give more joy.

Author's Response:

Sorry to hear about your mother dying. How lucky that she wasn't sick for a long time. My parents died pretty young and I think sometimes it is harder to lose parenst who have lived a long time and are such a part of our adult memories. No one ever replaces Mom but we do get to keep all our memories. I had a great aunt, that I was close to, dies this year at 106. I didn't get to see a lot of her for the last couple years - east coast/west coast thing - but still miss knowing she was there.

Linds is pretty wrapped up with her own issues.  I agree her parents play a big role in how she turned out.  I love the Gus/Kevin friendship so it will continue. Earlier in the story Brian tell Justin that he never warned him that "love is contagious".  Mikey is Mikey always the same.  Happy to know you are still readng and enjoying.  I appreciate all your support!!!!  Bill

Big start for the new school year.

Mel handled the marker situation well. She has a high stress job, how will the family manage that?

I'm interested in seeing where you are going with Lindsey. It's almost like she had a brain transplant.

Jen continues her strong minded approach to life with her comments to Craig.

A lot going on in the chapter. Of course, you know, the more you give us, the more we want. Giggles!

Author's Response:

Everyone seemed to get a good start at school.  I don't think we have heard the end of the "marker situation"???  Lindsay continues to have "issues" and I think that may continue to a while.  Jen has a lot going on in her life no time to be bothered with Craig.  Glad you are still enjoying the story.  Thanks for the review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Bill

Reviewer: shf1210 (Anonymous) · Date: October 19, 2015 04:38 AM · On: Chapter 91

Wow first day of school loved Peters enthusiasm I think Johns lack just shows how much he liked being in a good school.  Lindsay's nose is going to grow so big with her lies she going to break a window.  Craig trying to make nice with Jennifer was really funny. Gotta love Ted questioning Brian even when he knows Brian will steamroll right over his objections. Teddyman and Blake are maybe trying to hard with Nina but they are on the right track.  Why do I think someone Brian and Justin know will work at the school Lindsay is trying to get a job at and will realize she lied to get the job. Brian letting Gus just talk and know he can call anytime was sweet Gus telling his sister to stay away from the markers his Papa bought him is going to get him yelled at by dimwit I mean Michael more mind reading and by the way Happy almost birthday to me a dimwit free chapter loved that though nothing tops Brian and Justin Ina shower ever my fave part of the whole chapter.   More soon my finger hurts from hitting the refresh button for the past couple of days.

Author's Response:

John is just being a teenager, doesn't want the adults in his life to know everything about him.  Lindsay has a story for all occasions, so far it is kind of working for her.  Jennifer has no interest in havng anything to do with Craig.  I think he has a hard time accepting that truth.  I think Teddy Man and Blake just think that Nina is the best thing that ever happened to them.  They are too sensible to let her get out of control.  Mind reading not working on the Lindsay storyline but may be better on the dimwit front.There might be more soon.  Happy almost birthday.  Bill

Reviewer: Lorie (Signed) · Date: October 19, 2015 04:23 AM · On: Chapter 91

Possum, moonshine and Granny Clampett, hilarious. Loved that show. I agree with Justin, it's better if you don't have to think about the meat being alive.

Love Jenn's comments to Craig.

Hope John is okay and just being a teenager.

What the hell is Lindsay up to now?

Ted and Blake are getting the parenting thing down quickly.

Great chapter.

Author's Response:

I love the Beverly Hillbillies myself, especially the early seasons.  That is my own personal feeling about meat.  I always say when I have to kill and butcher my own meat that is when I become a vegetarian!  Jennifer has no need for Craig, her life gets more full all the time.  Linds is up to influencing young minds - that is kind of a scary thought.  Teedy Man & Blake are pretty thrilled with the new addition to thei family and Nina seem pretty pleased with them as well.  Thanks for the nice review!!!!!!!!!!!  Bill

Love it, protection for the girls at a gay bar.

Great sex for the boys, always a plus.

Good, Lindsay's parents are getting tough with her. She should have 'figured her life out' before she had a child.

Poor Gus, a child that little should never have to worry about not having what he needs. That bitch really screwed with his head.

Ted and Blake will be great dads too.

Grandma Jenn, so sweet to make the kids breakfast on the first day of school.

Loving this.

Author's Response:

Brian is comfortable in protection mode. I don't think Lindsay's parents were ever the warm and comforting type. That might be why she is so screwed up. With Viola playing a guest star role.  Jennifer is taking her grandmother duties very seriously and having a great time doing them.  I really appreciate you reviewing each chapter as you caught up wth the story!!!!  Thanks,  Bill

Reviewer: Lorie (Signed) · Date: October 14, 2015 11:29 PM · On: Chapter 88

Peter is a smart kid, he had a great way of making his older brother see things another way.

Michael, as usual, once a prick, always a prick.

Now that Ron and Nancy know the truth, hopefully they will confront their lying bitch of a daughter.

Does Craig think that Justin will forgive the loan if he plays nice? Another ass.

They really are wonderful parents. I hope they do have a baby, it will be the luckiest (hoping for a girl) child in the world.

Author's Response:

Peter realizes how good he and John have it living with the Uncles.  He just had to remind his brother what their alternatives would be, none are good!  Mikey will always be Mikey.  More to come on the Lindsay story.  So you don't think Craig is sincere?  Time will tell what his motives are.  So you think Brian could cope with a little girl, do you think she could ever date?  Thanks for the review!!!!!!  Bill

Reviewer: Lorie (Signed) · Date: October 14, 2015 11:01 PM · On: Chapter 86

Maybe someday Michael will realize that Justin works too. How would he feel if everyone started saying that he was spending all Ben's money.

Lindsay better watch out or her parents will throw her out on her lazy ass.

I wish I'd grown up with parents as wonderful as Brian and Justin.

Still loving the story.

Sorry I haven't reviewed in a while, I've been helping an author with a story. It's a lot of fun but I don't know how you guys do it.

Author's Response:

Mikey realize things change,  You and Linds are both having a little trouble with reality.  I think her parenst are already sorry she is staying in their house.  B&J have lots of love to share.  Glad you are still enjoying the tsory.  Thanks for reviewing as you catch up.  You know I love to get them!!!  Bill

Well, didn't take long for Lindsay to revert to her old ways. You have to want to get help, and unfortunately at this point it doesn't appear she is interested in that.  A shame, but Gus is being taken care of the way he should, which is good.  Loving Jennifer in this story, and how she has become a 'grandmother' to so many. And I continue to love Alice's take-charge character.

As always, I'll be looking forward to your next chapter, Bill. Thank you. ~Kim

Author's Response:

Hi Kim, thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to review.  I think you are right about Lindsay, she is not dealing with reality. B&J will always try their best to make sure Gus is taken care of.  Jennifer and Alice are a dynamic duo for sure.  Glad to know you are still enjoying the story.  Thanks for the rview!!!  Bill

Reviewer: emac66 (Signed) · Date: October 13, 2015 05:27 PM · On: Chapter 90

Very nice angst free chapter. I enjoy them as it lets my emotions calm somewhat between sessions. LOL.

The day-to-day domesticity of the Taylor-Kinney clan is always a joy to read. Even just having them prep for the 1st day of school. It's sweet. Especially having Jen coming over for her special breakfast.

I'm wondering if Lindsey's parents will reconsider their belief in her story. Seeing as she's so unispired to get work or get on with her life. she's just sitting their like a bump on a log. They may just wonder if the story she told was actually BS after all. It's going to be interesting to see what they do etc. I don't think they'll put up with her much longer if she continues on that way. She definitely seems to need realy psychiatric help. Just sitting there in the back yard, one has to wonder what's going through her mind. Is she really trying to sort herself out (doubtful) is she fantasizing what coulda, shoulda woulda happened, is she planning something underhanded to try to come between B&J? (not that it's possible) 

Sorry for the late review btw. Was Thanksgiving weekend and was busy in the kitchen. Was able to read, but waited till today to review.

Elaine

Author's Response:

Glad to know you enjoyed the latest chapter.  More romance than angst in this chapter.  I think Lindsay's parents want to believe their daughter s fine and will soon be sefl sufficent and out of their house.  I think you are correct that Lindsay could use some professional help but will shet get it??  That is the big question.  I think her parents have their heads firmly in the sand and don't want to see any issues.  Always happy to see a review whenever it comes.  Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.  Next time you review let me know what you eat at Canadian Thanksgivng.  Thanks for the ewview!!!!!!!!  Bill

Well, Lindsay failed so far making her family co-addicts - it´s time to wake up befor it´s too late. Will she end up in prison or a facility, still hoping Brian will come to her rescue? I hope he will do nothing!

Sorry for JR to get in the middle of the nonsense her father is in. Thank God having Ben around, I hope he will stay...

Craig at the exposition, I´m not quite sure: Is he serious, perhaps lonely or is trouble around? J&B don´t need trouble!

The boys are back to school, finally. I hope we will have fun, new friends...the uncles will have their hands full.

I enjoyed every chapter and I´m always happy to see a new one. Keep on the good work & many thanks!

(Since I started my new job, haven´t had much time to review, sorry!)

Author's Response:

Hello my friend, always so happy to hear from you.  I don't see Lindsay in prison but she is certainly headed for trouble.  I don't think her parents are going to cope with her very well.  JR is a little girl who knows her own mind.  No way was she agreeing to cheap furniture for her dollhouse.  I don't think her Dad will have a lot of luck getting her to think badly about Uncle Jus.  I think you are correct the uncles will have a lot to deal with because they have Gus and hus school to contend with as well.  Gad you are still enjoying the story.  Hope your new job goes smoothly.  Thanks for the review!!!  Bill

You do a wonderful job of displaying the love between Justin and Brian, between Gus and his dad, Peter and John with their cousin and uncles, and the rest of the extended family.

I am wondering what will happen with Lindsay and the teaching job. If she applies and gets the job, I'm guessing she won't be able to hold onto it. She's not at all ready to acknowledge and address her addiction.

Author's Response:

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate them.  I don't really see Lindsay sticking with teaching for the long term.  I have some "fun" stuff in mind for her.  Thanks for the review, you know I love to get them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Bill

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: October 11, 2015 03:11 AM · On: Chapter 90

Getting ready for the first day of school was well planned.  They even got a great breakfast out of it.  I bet this was the first time anyone made a fuss over John and Peter going to school.  Grandma Jen is quite the super mom.  Lindsey is not going to be able to waste her days if her mom and dad have anything to say about it.  It looked like Ted was unsure about how the neighbor was going to react to Nina.  Love how Ted was better at working with Nina then Blake.  Yet another great chapter. 

Author's Response:

My friend, you know I am always happy to see your review. Glad you liked this chapter. Grandmom Jen is trying her best to make up for the bad times in John and Peter's life. She had to get up really early to be at the house in time to make breakfast. I think Ted was wary about why the neighbor suddenly decided to pay attention to them. Turns out it was a good thing. I think Ted feels comfortable with familiar things so I thought he would be good for Nina.  Thanks for the nice review!!!!!  Bill

I was so excited to see an update on this! It seems that the Petersen's are just about at their wits end with Lindsay.hopefully she realizes that she can't keep going this way...it's not fair to her son nor her parents. On the plus side, I would give my right arm to have had that breakfast. Jennifer has gone above and beyond to make sure the boys feel loved and safe. Brian and Justin have really lucked out in the love department.

Author's Response:

Thanks for the fast read an review.  The Petersons' don't have a very long wit and yes they seem to be at the end of it!  That French toast sounded good to me too.  Jennifer has a lot of love to give and is happy being Grandmom Jen.  B&J are very lucky to have found each other.  Thanls for all the nice comments!!!!  Bill

Reviewer: eureka1 (Signed) · Date: October 09, 2015 07:04 AM · On: Chapter 89

Lindsay is certainly cleverly manipulative about her addiction. Since she doesn't believe she has a problem, it's clearly going to be a while before she deals with her addiction. Her parents, in the meantime, are happy to be manipulated.

Always heartwarming to watch Brian and Justin's relationship get deeper and stronger. I like the idea of contagious protectiveness. :)

After a not so pleasant day at work I felt like cheering like Gus does when I found this new chapter waiting. Such a pleasure to read. Could Lindsay's parents be more gullible? Lindsay is a piece of work. Talk about delusional. Which, of course, reminds me of Michael. He is so immature. I guess Michael is the child that Ben never had. How else could he tolerate him? Gus and Kevin are so cute together. I liked seeing Brian so engaged in their soccer game. Was worried about Justin's near panic attack...did not realize he still had those residual issues. As always, loved all the B&J affection. Will be interesting to learn more about Emmett's new friend. Thanks so much for this. Looking forward to the next installment.

Author's Response:

Happy to know the latest chapter brightened your day.  Lindsay's parents were happy for a story that made their daughter blameless.  I like your idea that Mikey is the child Ben never had, that thought made me laugh.  I love Kevin and Gus time in the story.  Lucky for Justin that Brian is usually around to drive away his panic.  I have a feeling that Rusty may be the "one" for Em.  I love to hear from the readers.  Thanks for all your nice comments!!!!!!  Bill

Reviewer: emac66 (Signed) · Date: October 06, 2015 06:36 PM · On: Chapter 89

Lots going on in this chapter! Impressive. How you keep track of everyone & their story lines is beyond me. I imagine a wall in your house that's filled with charts, names, arrows etc... ;)

I'm interested to see where things go with Lindsey and her parents. Naturally she lied through her teeth. Sadly though, it was an entirely plausible explanation for those who don't know teh situation. Wonder how long until they see what's really happening. How far will Lindsey try to take this BS scenario and what will happen once she's found out.

Micheal actually made me laugh. He is just so insecure...such a petualnt child. will he ever grow up?

I just love the interactions between B&J and their friends. You've had them create such a home. A great family!! Now...for Wednesday's dinner with Em & "Rusty" hehe. We'll see if he get's Brian's stamp of approval.

All in all a great chapter as per usual. Was once again thrilled to see it there upon arriving at work. My work computer is bigger than the one at home...that's my excuse!! ;)

Cheers!!

Author's Response:

Hi Elaine, sorry tot disappoint you, no wall chart - just an devery frowing stack of paper that I occasionally have to search through to find a name or situation.  Also sometimes going back to read past chapters.  Lindsay did have a great story for her parents and it's possible she might even believe it's true.  We can always depend on Mikey not to disappoint us.  Glad you enjoyed this chapter, I always look forward to your comments.  Hope you are reading on your break and not when you should actually be working.  Thanks for the review!!!!  Bill

I can't get over how devious Lindsay is.  She purposely spouted bull shit to her parents and they bought it.  Then you have Mikey who feels that the cheap furniture he wanted JR to have is better then the nice furniture Justin got for her.  It's good that Ben is there to reign Mikey in.  So Em's got a new boyfriend.  I hope that Brian doesn't find anything wrong for Em's sake.  Justin's money paid for the gallery so I can't get over Brian's so called friends insisting that it was Brian's money.  Want more, more, more of this wonderful saga.

Author's Response:

My friend, no chapter is complete until I hear from you.  Lindsay came up with a pretty good story, totally based on lies, but a good story.  Her parents so want to believe their daughter is the victim.  I don't think that illusion will last very long but all three are happy with it at the moment.  Mikey tried his best, going for the pink crappy doll furniture but JR didn't fall for it.  Ben is always the voice of reason.  I think Em & Rusty may turn out to be well matched but who knows????  I did just promise another loyal reviewer I would post the next update no later than Saturday so you won't have to wait too long.  Thanks, as always, for your review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Bill

Thank you for your reply and not taking it badly which isn't what I intend but may have come across that way. Very interesting about Lindsay. Getting help is good, especially for Gus. 

Although my reviews are mostly about the terrible duo, I also want to say I love everybody else. B/J goes without saying. John and Peter are fine young men. Gus and Kevin are so sweet. JR is a pip. And let's not forget about Nina and her Teddy Man and hope we'll see them soon!

Author's Response:

I was sincere in my reply.  Of course it is great to hear that someone loves the story and I am a genius for writing it but that is not reality.  I am not Lindsay I am not completley delusional (at least not yet!).  I really do appreciate hearing what someone does not love about the story.  You were just trying to get me to improve in an area you thought needed it.  I do really appreciate your honesty.  Happy to know you do like most of the story.  Thanks for all your support!!!!  Bill

In your last response to me you asked if I had read Predec2 stories. I've read a lot of her work and since I'm dog lover her Tricky series was a delight. I try to look a posts of many new authors, that's how I found you! I think my first review was for Moonshadow Woman's Broken Angel it was so good I had to let her know how much I enjoyed it, there are many authors I always read : Tagset, Ispazz, and 7wildways,  and the story on updates The Intrudner. I read as much as five to eight hours each day, HOO RAY FOR RETIREMENT! The only stories I won't even check out are vampire and major death fics, just not my thing. It seems MW has something for everyone and I enjoyed so much to have  something is constantly changing and challanging.

Author's Response:

I LOVE the Tricky universe! I don't like the death stories either. As you can guess from my story I am a low angst story kind of guy. Glad you enjoy MW and it is great you review the stories you like. I know all the authors enjoy hearing from the readers. Hope you continue to enjoy my story. Bill

I am a huge proponent of double reviews!  I agree parents should out their children first and that does not always happen.  Thanks for the positive feedback!!!!  Bill

 Sorry Bill I forgot something, even though there are some troubles in some of the charactors lives for the most part this story has really been upbeat. It makes you to appreciate the good times and accept some difficulties. I think the most changed is Ted after all he has been thru Brian and Justin truly respect him. Of course Brian and Justin have greatly changed, they grew up and had the sense to move away from the loft that people just walked in at any old time. It's your writing that we are allowed to see the growth or lack of growth of our charactors. They grow with us. 

Author's Response:

Never apoligize for double reviews!!!!!  They are among my favorite things.  This is a low angst story and those are the ones I enjoyed reading the most so no big surprise that is the kind I write.  It was Predec2's stories that inspired me to write my own story.  I hope you have read her stories because they are great.  Like so many fans I hated the ending of the TV show and always liked to think this is the way B&J would have lived their lives.  As you can tell I never liked Lindsay in the show, Michale always kind of orrated me and I always liked the character of Ted and hoped for the best with his relationship with Blake.  You are very kind in your comments and I truly appreciate them.  Thanks,  Bill

Hi Bill, Was so glad to see your lastest chapter. I was afraid someone would try to ruin the opening and was happy it was sucess. I was surprised the Peterson's attended the opening and was glad Brian told them the truth about their daughter just wondered why all of a sudden Nancy wanted a kiss from Gus, I think maybe to impress others. Jen was right there by Gus's side if need be. mikey wasn't there, acting like the two year old he is but I'm sure he would have made a scene just to hurt Justin. I though Peter telling his brother that they were so lucky to have their uncles and reminded him how much they were loved, glad John woke up realized Peter was right. Then Craig walked in. I was sort a happy he saw his son was a sucess, no thanks to him. Molly let him know just because he was ready to be in his life, that was not going to be a easy as easy as he thought. He had left a heart broken son with no support, and blamed the one man that saw Justin's pain and loved him and took care of him. Every chapter just gets better and better. Please more chapters. 

Author's Response:

Hello my friend, so happy to see a review from you.  Glad we didn't scare you off, I would have really missed your comments.  I think Lindsay put her parents on the guest list when she worked at the gallery and they made plans to get together with friends there.  Nancy likes to think of herself as a "loving gradmother" but I don't think she has Gus convinced.  I'm pretty sure Justin was just as happy that Mikey did not attend, one less ossue to deal with.  Peter has gotten more confident since coming to live with the uncles.  Molly told her father the truth and I'm sure that was hard for him to hear.  Time will tell how much he is willing to do to become part of the family again.  Brian may blackball his application.  Thanks for all your reviews, I appreciate your support.  Bill

So many great moments in this chapter. Peter reminding John of all they have with the uncles, Jennifer using her WASP skills to skewer the Petersens, with the Brian no words minced follow-up (loved!), and Gus--so adorable all through the chapter. I was kind of disappointed not to see Kevin at the opening, but then you totally fixed it with arranging the lunch the next day. You surprised me with Craig's appearance at the opening. Molly really hit the nail on the head when she explained her perception of his actions to Craig. Is Craig really going to try to be a father again? I don't trust him. Have to love scary Jennifer. Justin is so lucky to have both Brian and Jennifer protecting him. I always enjoy the B&J interaction...so nice to see so much love and respect. Well, I could continue to ramble on, but I'll just say I loved this! Thanks.

Author's Response:

Happy to know you enjoyed this chapter.  Jennifer's WASP can sting when she wants it to.  Lindsay's parents got some surprises at  the gallery for sure.  Molly know her father really well and gave hom plenty to think about.  The question is what will Craig so with all that truth???  I think Brian and Justin are lucky to have each other and they are both lucky to have Mother Taylor looking out for them.  Thanks so much for all your nice comments.  I really appreciate you taking time to review.  Bill

Craig really had a lot of nerve! Thank goodness that so many gave it to him straight from the shoulder about what a shit he'd been to his family. I can't wait to see what Lindsay will tell her parents about the real reason she is no longer at the gallery.

Keep it coming Bill ;)

Author's Response:

Craig got a dose of reality but didn't come with a spoonful of sugar.  I think it was pretty bitter tasting to Craig.  Lindsay and her parents may be having their discussion from opposite sides of a bolted door.  I intedn to keep it coming as long as people are reading and reviewing.  Thanks!!!!!  Bill

Reviewer: shf1210 (Anonymous) · Date: September 25, 2015 11:46 AM · On: Chapter 88

I found this chapter to be sort of depressing John being schooled by Peter on why their life was so much better living with Brian and Justin instead of their mother and Paul.  Nancy and Ron Peterson learning about Lindsay's transgressions having nothing to do with show setup, gambling, and stealing. I admit I have no actual idea what they were doing there unless they were the guests of the others they mentioned.  Last Craig I felt bad for Justin having to deal with him on his opening night for the gallery, though I did like Molly putting her father in his place. I think the cuddling scene with Brian and Gus and Justin was the happy place I kept waiting for the whole chapter. I can't wait for the first day of school and the little beg I knew you were waiting for can that be soon pretty please

Author's Response:

Wow sorry to depress you, it did have a happy ending.  I thnk everyone needs a wake up calll once in a while and Peter provided that to his brother.  I'm pretty sure Lindsay put her parents on the list of invited guests when she worked at the gallery.  They believed her stories so would have shown up to try and make Justin uneasy about unfairly firing Lindsay.  Didn't work out the way they expected.  I think Craig meant well but was disappointed that he was not welcomed with open arms.  Molly gave him the wale up call he needed.  I have a very silly excuse for not posting thsi chapter sooner.  I must have pulled a muscle in my side and it is very uncomfortable to sit up straight.  So I can only type for short periods of time.  I told you it was a a silly reason!

Thanks for the review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Bill

Reviewer: Cfc (Anonymous) · Date: September 25, 2015 09:19 AM · On: Chapter 88

Craig certainly came back fast. Molly did such a good job reading him.

B&J make such a happy family for themselves and the boys. It is a joy that you share them with us.

Glad the gallery opening went off with out a public melodrama. And Peter got a chance to be the wiser younger brother.

Thank you for making my evening!

Author's Response:

Molly gave her Dad the harsh truth now Craig will have to decide what he wants to do.  Thank you very much for the nice comments about the little family at the center of my story.  I am really happy you are enjoying them.  All the drama at the opening was pretty low key which was a good thing.  Everyone occasionally needs a dose of reality and Peter delivered that to his brother at the right time.  Thanks for the review, you know I love to read them!!!!  Bill

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: September 23, 2015 02:00 PM · On: Chapter 87

Whew! Finally got a chance to get caught up on your wonderful story, Bill! Not sure which one I find more abhorrent in the past few chapters - Lindsay, Michael, or Craig. Is it odd, though, that Craig here is probably the least offensive in a way?  And I think I would just call Michael deluded, however annoying he is, so I think Lindsay gets my vote. I'm trying to be sympathetic toward her in light of what I see as an addiction, but she needs to help herself a little here and get her priorities in order, and she is woefully lacking in that at the moment, so it's hard to feel sorry for what she has brought upon herself.

And now that the custody issue has been resolved, there is a little one about to enter the picture. So this is going to be 200 chapters now? Ha!  I would not be surprised! Congrats again on all the accolades - this is a richly interwoven story. Thanks. ~Kim

Author's Response:

Hi Kim, know you are busy so I appreciate you taking tiem to get caught up and leave a review.  Hard to pick a winner from L, M & C, they are all pretty annoying.  I think I am going to have to move things along faster or it wil take more than 200 chapters to get to a baby.  That seems to be a popular additon to many of my faithful reviewers.  Thanks for all your suppport!!!  Bill

Author's Response:

went for faster update instead of longer chapter.  Luckily Gus is smart enough to see the truth. I think Lindsay will continue to be "interesting" for a while.  Glad you enjoyed the chapter even though it was not long enough.  Thanks for the review!!  Bill

Wonder how well Linz parents are going to take her bolting her door from the inside?

She is a bitch to put Gus i the middle of everyting between her , Brian and Justin.

Mikey is just digging himself deeper in a hole.

Love Ted handling Craig, giving him no options, reg. the loan.

Hope Justin's gallery opening goes smoothly.

Seeing a update from you, makes my day, thanks for saring!

Author's Response:

Hi JoAnn, somehow I don;t think Ron and Nancy will be happy about the new lock on Lindsay's door. Brian and Justin are trying hard to keep Gus out of their Lindsay issues, would have been a good thing for his Mommy to do the same. Mikey is Mikey, I don't think he will ever change. I think Ted had a good time letting Craig know just how things are.  I think it might have been a little eye opening for Craig.  Glad to know you are still enjoying the story.  Thanks for the comments, you know I love to get reviews!!!!!   Bill

I just realized that with Lindsay locked inside the bedroom, how are her parents suppose to show and sell the house? Me thinks Little Miss Lindsay's little teenage rebellion will not go as she expects and that may be the final straw on her parents backs. I think the Peterson's are horrible people, but I do enjoy when anyone gives Lindsay the what-for.

Author's Response:

Well the good news they don't have much chance of selling their house unless they clean it up and reduce the price.  I do think you are right that the Petersens are horrible people and I'm sure their patience with Lindsay will not last long.  Stay tuned!  Thanks for the review.  Bill

Congratulation to your 1000 reviews. I know it was some time ago, but I was on holiday. I was really excited when I noticed that I was no.1000, because I'm really a big fan of the story.

I'm feeling really bad that I don't make more reviews, but I never know what to write other than I like it so much and I'm waiting for more.

You have earned at least 10.000 reviews for sure.

I hope that story will continue for a long time...

I thought Brian and Justin did a good job dealing with all of Gus' questions about his new living arrangements. I wouldn't have guessed that Lindsay would put a bolt on the bedroom door. She is so immature. The way she's going pretty soon she will have no money at all and, as usual, will sit around crying about how unfair the world is. Of course, Michael isn't much better. Wonder how much longer Ben will put up with him. Loved all the B/J affectionate moments. Also, I think everyone needs an Alice. Always enjoy reading about Ted. He really handled Craig. Brian will be so happy. I'm looking forward to the art exhibition and whatever else you have planned in this wonderful story. Thanks!

Author's Response:

Gus is a smart little boy and he really loves his Daddy and his Papa.  H eknows they haven't caused Mommy's unhappiness.  I think he is going to be okay.  Hard to say just what is going through Lindsay's mind. Mikey is, was and always will be clueless.  Ben is just unhappy about Mikey trying to infect JR with his craziness.  It would be nice if everyone could have an Alice.  I think Ted really enjoyed his meeting with Craig.  Grand reopening of the Bloom Gallery should be fun.  That is coming in the next chapter.  Thanks for posting a review, I LOVE to get reviews.  Bill

Reviewer: BlueButterfly (Signed) · Date: September 17, 2015 08:07 PM · On: Chapter 87

Loved how Ted basically told Craig that to our boys, the money for his loan means little more than loose change found in their sofa cushions. Justin's success and happiness is gotta be eating away at him.

Living well is the best revenge.

I think Ted got the message across and enjoyed himself doing it. Maybe Craig will start to look at life a little differently, stranger things have happened. Thanks for taking time to post a review. Bill

As always I was delighted to see another chapter of this story.  Looks like Lindsay is going to be out of money shortly.  Wonder what happens then.  That was very mean of her to tell Gus that Justin was the problem, it's the way she views things that's wrong.  Mikey has the same problem, I wonder if it's contagious.  I'm really surprised that Craig agreed to Kinney's terms.  It would have been funny if Ted took out his cellphone on the pretext of letting Brian know the outcome and took that picture.  Do you have something planned for the gallery open?  Like Lindsay showing up and making a scene?  or Mikey?  Love that Ben and Debbie lectured Michael about his attitude, but the fact that he still refuses to believe he's wrong is disturbing. 

Author's Response:

My friend, as always I am delighted to see your review. If you ever stop commenting I will know it is time to fold my tent and slink away. Maybe Lindsay will win a million dollars and have a wonderful exciting life? Nah, not never happen in my story! Even Gus knows that Justin is not reponsible for his Mommy's problems. He even told her she didn't like her job at the gallery and always complained about it. Craig knew he didn't really have any good alternative. You could see Brian's influence on Ted during his meeting with Craig. A scene at the gallery opening, hmmmmmmmmmmmm Lindsay won't cause one. She is not good at face to face confrontations and she probably knows Jennifer and Alice will be there. They are her kryptonite. I don'tthink Mikey will even attend. Thanks you very mcuh for all your support for the story. I truly appreciate you!!!  Bill

so thank you for a new chapter really fast I like it.  Michael is an idiot and I find it doubtful that either Ben or Debbie will change that.  I hope Michael is not invited to the gallery opening. Lindsay is a mess and I worry about what she says to Gus. My biggest fear is that Lindsay will try to crash the gallery opening.  I can see her doing it and Michael helping her try to ruin Justin's night. I am glad Craig realized he has no choice go along or lose everything because Brian and Justin don't care. I can't wait for the boys to start school I think their schedules will drive Brian a little nuts at first especially the back to school night. Just so you know I do try not to be mysterious and this really is my favorite thing to read and reread over and over while I impatiently wait for more. thanks again for the quick chapter hope to see more soon. 

Author's Response:

You should not take my comments so seriously.  I enjoy teasing you.  I always look forward to reading your reviews and sometimes your pleas do spur me to post as soon as possible.  The best thing we can say about Mikey is that he consistant.  We always know that he will blame Justin for anything he doesn't like.  I think Ben understands that and is willing to deal with it but he and Debbie don't want to see Michale pass his irrational behavior on to hsi daughter.  I think Lindsay is having too much trouble getting through the day to cause any trouble at the grand opening.  Now her parents are a different story??????  I wonder who will dislike parent teacher meeting more - Brian or the teachers he deals with. 

Supposed to have a few cool and rainy days here so the odds for a fast posting of the next chapter are excellent.  Thanks for all your support I LOVE your reviews and always enjoy bantering with you!!!!!  Bill

Well, I wonder if that is the end of Craig's input in the boys' lives, or if he will be back again?

I am glad B&J were able to soothe Gus' concerns, he's too little to have so much stress in his life.
How nice to see another chapter so soon!

Thank you.

Michael has gotten worse.  At first while reading this chapter I

wondered why people haven’t just sat him down and

explained to him why he is so wrong.  You know, not just that

what he said was wrong, but explain the issue.Then I

remembered in back chapters, people did.  Well – Michael has

reached a point where Brian and Justin should wash their

hands of him.  Simply put, he is just no good.  Sadly he is such

an important character that it is just not possible.

 

Anyway, we have another line I really enjoyed. They were

going to meet for dinner in a sort of celebration. Sure enough,

so typical of Brian:

           Brian frowned. “I hope no one is going to get too

                         sloppy or sentimental.”

I liked that line a lot. Of course we all know just how happy

Brian was, no one happier than him.  In side, though he would

never show it, he was as sloppy and sentimental as anyone.

Thanks again for the story.

DavidR

Author's Response:

I think Mikey is incapable of change.  He wants to be his 14 year old self when he and Brian were best friends.  I never think of him as deliberatley mean just clueless and single minded.  He preferred a screwed up Brina who relied on him more.  I agree that line is typical of the Brian we all know and love.  No outward expressions of emotions suits him best.  Happy to know you enjoyed this chapter.  Thanks for being such a faithful reviewer.  Bill

Hi Bill, I really enjoyed this chapter,you're always worth the slight delay. I'm glad the boys are so happy with Brian and Justin and Gus is really to young to understand even   Clair's sons don't understand her attitude. Mikey aka Dumbf--k was so mean trying to spoil JR's fun with her doll house he is a jealous boob. I think Lindsey has a form of mental illness, I don't like anything about the Petersons but they should be treated with respect they gave her everything she wanted until she wanted Mel and Gus. They should give her a month to find a job and move out so they can sell the house or rent it out due to financial problems. About the people who have a problem with with the drinking, in my family we didn't drink, but on big gatherings on Thanksgiving and on Christmas   I being the only child was allowed a sip of wine, I still only drink on those holidays and I'm in my 60's and didn't turn into a wine-o.please more chapters.

Author's Response:

Glad you enjoyed this chapter.  Sorry my schedule is not strict enough for you.  Mikey pretty much is a jealous boob but I always think he really can;t help himself.  I never think of him as mean just clueless.  I think you may be right about Lindsay.  Lindsay always felt that her parents favored her sister so she may not feel musch gratitude to them.  I do actually think about things before I write the and thought about the champagne,  Gus got a cordial glassfull and John and Peter had two small glasses of champagne.  I am one of those believers in exposing kids to stuff to take away the mystery and appeal of the unknown.  My Dad was a functioning alocholic which I didn't really realize until I was an adult but I drink only rarely in social settings.  I don't think a little champagne will cause any life problems for the three boys but everyone is entitled to their opinions and I respect them. I was going to insert in the story that none of them liked champagne but I didn't bother, oh well.

I will try and meet the arbitrary schedule some of my readers have set for me and get a new chapter posted soon.  Bill

Happy for the boys, permanent place to live, a surname they can take some pride in. Good. But given their grandparents backgrounds, they should have celebrated with sparkling cider.
I had forgotten all about Craig and the loan. Teddy is going to be in heaven relaying the news to him. I'm with Tucker, I do think he's going to give Jenn a call. Figures he'll save some money on her commission. Wring!
As for Lindsay, Ron should just pack het bags and put her out on the side of the road. Call her bluff. She'd be too embarrassed to write and tell anyone what's happened to her.

I do look forward to a new chapter.

Author's Response:

I think the name change makes them feel more like one family.  I think we are OK with 2 small glasses of champagne but it is something the uncles should keep their eye on.  I agree that Ted will enjoy telling Craig hat he has to do and I am thinking Tucker is correct. I don't see Jennifer giving Craig any discounts, he may get charge an annoyance fee on top of her commision.  I think the Petersens are going to have quite a bit of trouble getting Lindsay out of that bedroom.  Glad you are still enjoying the story and I appreciate the review!!!!  Bill

Yes it taking more than a week for a new chapter was noticed but it was a good one so not a complaint just me whining for more faster....

Anyone who thinks Michael is done cutting on Justin in front of JR raise your hand no one I thought so... 

 I love Gus but I have to admit I think you may be trying to kill him you know it's not legal for him to be in the front seat booster or not it's also really dangerous. Sorry I have become really fussy about car seats the more I learn about them my youngest niece will be rear facing until at least 4 because that's when your spine fuses one accident and a forward facing baby can be internally decapitated. Gross I know but my older niece is still in a booster she is 8 it's safer.  They need to keep Justin's small SUV for when Brian has to drive Gus to school and get the bigger one for when everyone is in the car. Public service message over.

I was so happy to find this when I got home today I refresh the site 2 times a day just to see if miraculously there is something new.  I loved how Gis questioned both his Papa and his Daddy' so he could understand why John and Peter are celebrating. I think Craig is going to throw a fit when Ted tells home to downsize it should be pretty funny.  I want Ron and Nancy to have another open house so they force Lindsay out of the house that should be fun, not that it will sell but Lindsay being pissed cause she has to get out of bed will be fun to see.  I liked how the Hospital wanted Greg back not a chance in hell and Hal got fired again yippee. 

I almost want a huge fast forward to Justin and Brian bringing home their twins and sorry that's what I keep thinking and either both girls or one girl one boy. That is what is stuck in my head and now I continue to gently hint (or forcefully shove the idea) to you. 

fYI I do not see a pink mini van in their future maybe a tricked out Cadillac Escalade in black with every safety feature available.  

Another great chapter I am still willing to bribe you for the next one to take less than 7 days what do you like Chocolate, candy, cookies, Lobster gimme a hint....

Author's Response:

One lousy day!!!! Picky, picky. I don't think any rational person beleives Michael will stop complaining about Justin. Strangely our minds travel along similar paths (one of us should be worried). I did consider the whole Gus riding in the front seat thing.  Here is my take on it:  my calculations say that Gus is 7 and will be 8 in a cople months.  He was born when Justin was still in school so I am going to say his birthday is in November - at least that is when it is in my story.  He is also tall for his age since both hsi parents are pretty tall.  So I decided it was borderline OK for him to ride in front but I understand your concern.  I also feel a little emabaressed to have put this much thought into this car thing - now you can understand why it takes a while to post these chapters.

I think Ted will enjoy giving the news to Craig and won't care if Craig has a fit or not.  He really has no options so he is going to have to go along with the requirements or delare bankruptcy. It may take dynamite to get Lindsay out of that room.  I thought we would all enjoy Hal failing at another job.  I agree that we wil need to do some fast forwarding to get to babytime.  I refuse to comment further on baby things at this time!

I will try my best to pst the next chapter in less than a week.  Alway enjoy reading your comments!!!  Thanks,  Bill
