Thanks for the quick update. We can all sleep better now that we know our Justin is ok! :)   TAG



Author's Response:

I promised a fast update if I got lots of reviews.  My little blackmail attempt suceeded, lots of reviews, so I had to keep up my side of the bargain.  Of course not only did I have to write the chapter but it took quite a lit of time to ready and respond to all those review.  All in all it was a great thing!!!  I did stay up past my bedtime last night to polish and post #55.  Thanls for your support.  Bill

Reviewer: wellreadbunny (Signed) · Date: November 18, 2014 06:05 PM · On: Chapter 55

Ok. these two chapters were real good, a little stressful. I had thought you might keep Justin prisoner for awhile, but you got it done real fast. Peter was awesome.

Author's Response:

Happy you enjoyed the excitment of the last two chapters.  I considered the kidnap being sucessful but felt that anything that involved Claire was really doomed to failure.  Thank you so much for letting me know you are still enjoying the story.  Bill

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: November 18, 2014 05:27 PM · On: Chapter 55

I meant I hope Joanie gets a clue that she was a bad mother.  I forgot to mention Alice and her idea to have the shotgun in the house just in case.  Brian was always a fast thinker and having enough smarts to get John and Gus back to the house, especially when he wasn't aware that Claire was involved.  I'll say it again I LOVE this story.



Author's Response:

Is double reviewing the new normal? I apporove of it.  I think Joan is going to have a realization about her mothering skills or rather her lack of.  Alice shifted to mother tiger mode and Charlie was determined to keep everyone safe.  Tino or his goons would have had no chnace against that dynamic duo.  I am so happy you love my story.  Bill

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: November 18, 2014 04:49 PM · On: Chapter 55

Wow!  An action packed chapter.  Peter is definately the hero of the day.  It was interesting to note that when he realized that he'd been the leak to his mother, he didn't hid the fact and was more concerned as to how it would effect the custody issue.  Happy dance about Carl showing up and straightening out the cops who were suggesting that Justin was part of a drug deal gone bad.  Glad to see that Claire is getting what she deserves and hope that maybe gets a clue that she was a bad mother. 



Author's Response:

Glad you enjoyed the latest chapter my friend.  Peter was a hero but it was all pretty upsetting to a boy who is only 12 years old. I think Claire will just be upset that she got caught.  Thanks, as always, for being such a loyal supporter.  Bill

Author's Response:

Happy you liked it.  I hope I have spoiled you by so many updates in a short time.  Thanks for the review.  Bill

Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: November 18, 2014 03:29 PM · On: Chapter 55

Damn how dumb can one person be...well at least Justin is okay and Claire is exactly where she needs to be and hopefully soon so will Tino...the schmuck.

Update soon please, I can't wait to see what happens next ;)

Author's Response:

Happy you enjoyed the latest chapter. I hope my loyal readers won't be to upset if the updates don't come quite as quickly as the last few. Thanks for being such a loyal reviewer! Bill

Reviewer: BrianNJustin (Signed) · Date: November 18, 2014 01:25 PM · On: Chapter 55

Wow, I hope they get Tino soon but at least they won't have to worry about peter and johns custody anymore. Now the only people they need to deal with is michael and Lindsay. Update soon!



Author's Response:

I agree that I think permanent custody should be happening soon.  Happy to know you are enjoying the story.  I appreciate everyone who take time to review so thank you very much!  Bill

Reviewer: shf1210 (Anonymous) · Date: November 18, 2014 12:27 PM · On: Chapter 55

Ok thank you thank you for the fast chapter and the minimal wound to Justin. Love Brian in protective mode of everyone including Gus and John.  When Peter realized what he had done I think the guilt was bad and I think they may be dealing with that for a while. More proof Claire is an idiot and Petrr recognizing the name Tino was probably a huge help.  So much happened in this chapter I loved it. So glad you were so fast cliffhangers make me anxious and I love this story so much when I saw the chapter I decided late for work was ok.



Author's Response:

I hope I didn't get you in trouble at work! Happy you enjoyed the chapter. I agree that Peter is going to be upset that he let his mother use him to try and hurt his Uncle who he loves.  Glad you loved this chapter.  Thank you for being such a great supporter and loyal reviewer that is what keeps me writing the story.  Bill  

Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: November 18, 2014 10:57 AM · On: Chapter 55

Wow great chapter so full of intrigue and love 👍 Peter did such a excellent job of protector. I loved how Jennifer had Brian by the balls and gave the eye to Brian and Justin to reassure Peter lol

Author's Response:

Thanks for your really nice comments.  I think Jennifer considers herself Brian's mother and to Brian she is more of a mother figure than Joan ever could be.  I like that we found out Debbie gives insights into Brian to Jennifer.  Hope you continue to enjoy the story (and to review!)  Bill

Reviewer: Vision (Signed) · Date: November 18, 2014 10:44 AM · On: Chapter 55

I'm glad it ws only a flesh but whereby Justin and Brian and the other adults can deal this is going to hurt Peter and John even more now after confirming their mother had something to do with the attempted kidnapping is worse.

It's a sad situation for all but as a family they will deal with it.



Author's Response:

I agree that I think it will take Peter some time to get over his role in the kidnap attempt.  He is only 12 years old.  I know John and Peter will get a lot of support and love they need.  Thansk for letting me know you are reading and enjoying the story.  Bill

Reviewer: CFC (Anonymous) · Date: November 18, 2014 10:32 AM · On: Chapter 55

Wow, what a chapter!

So much plot development and action. It is good to see Peter handling himself so well. I'm glad Justin was not seriously hurt.

Author's Response:

Happy you enjoyed it.  It was longer than normal but couldn't find a good place to end it sooner.  Thanks for your really nice comment I appreciate them!  Bill

Reviewer: DavidR (Signed) · Date: November 18, 2014 05:54 AM · On: Chapter 54

    As I feared, nothing good could happen if Tino goes through


with the kidnapping.  Well it happened, and no one gets off


unscathed.  Yes Justin got shot, but how stupid can he be


when facing a gun, he shoots the guy with Pepper Spray.  He


already knew that he was the object of the kidnapper, not


Peter.  Coming up shortly, that the only time John and Peter


can visit their mom is in a jail.  Peter is innocent, but if not for


him, the kidnapper would not know where Justin was going to


be.  I wonder how that is going play out.  By Brian bringing his


nephews in, subjected through their mom some very


dangerous and unsavory characters.  It almost (we hope


almost) got Justin killed.  Finally, how will Lindsay react.  Is it


safe for Gus to visit the mansion?


   Just a few thoughts.  It sure looks to me that this shooting is


going to get very messy.


   Once again, thanks for the chapter and the story.  It is going


to be interesting how all this unfolds.


     DavidR



Author's Response:

Thanks for all the nice comments.  I disagree a little about Justin's actions I think he was right to do anything to not get taken away.  You are right on about Peter.  I glad you are still reading and enjoying the story.  A little blackmail goes a long way I am thrilled by all the reviews this chapter got.  Thanks again for your review.  Bill

You want presssure ? OK, we give you pressure !! ;-)

We want the next chapter RIGHT NOW !!! 

This story has been good since the beginning. But I liked the last chapters more than the first ones… More intensity, more angst, more emotion… 

So go on !!



Author's Response:

I am working on chapter 55 but now you have me a little firghtened.  I hope I can type through the trembling.  I should have the latest chapter up by tomorrow. Thanks for the review??? LOL  Bill

Please let Justin be alright.
Love this story but I have knots in my stomach right now waiting for the next chapter.
Please update quickly.

Author's Response:

You can loosen the knots.  This is a low angst story, there will be some drama but nothng too horrible.  The next chapter should be posted in the next couple days.  Glad you are enjoying the story and hope you continue to enjoy it.  Thanks for the review.  Bill

Reviewer: Vision (Signed) · Date: November 17, 2014 02:40 AM · On: Chapter 54

I can't take this type of drama is Claire crazy and dumb doesn't she think that Peter is going to put things together, but to think this would go as planned she clearly needs to be sent to jail for plotting this and putting poor Peter, Justin and the family through this.

 

Great chapter



Author's Response:

Claire is not very bright and the drugs don't help.  This was a bad plan and not surprise, it did not work.  Glad you enjoyed the chapter.  Thanks for the review.  Bill

Author's Response:

Thanks.  Now you are double reviewing!!!!! Hurrah.  So you don't agree with Kim that I should be wrapping this story up.  Maybe we need voting buttons on this site. LOL  I promise there is more to come.  Bill

Congratuöations to your one year story. Thank you for posting so regularly.

I was always looking forward to the next chapter and got never disappointed.

They were all beautiful written and exciting. You always made new turns and situations.

Like this new cliffhanger...

 

So I hope for at least another year of this great story.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your very nice comments, I appreciate them a lot!!!!  I am happy you are enjoying my story and I hope you continue to enjoy it.  Bill

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: November 16, 2014 08:08 PM · On: Chapter 54

What a cliff hanger!  Peter was smart to try and get his phone.  It might have worked.  When Claire was talking with Peter, I thought boy is she being too nice.  I'd forgotten about the kidnap plot.  Thank goodness and Alice that it didn't work. 

The art department seems to be working better now that Hal is gone.  In fact maybe Jason or Leon might get a promotion.  It was nice to see Debbie again, it's been awhile.  I wish I could say the same about Lindsay.  I'm glad that Gus will be staying with Brian and Justin a while longer.  Will he get to go with them for Justin's show?

Now I'm gonna crack a whip, we need another chapter to find out what happens next?



Author's Response:

Smarting from that whipping!  The problem with having so many people in my story is that some characters get "vacation time" from the action.  I love Debbie so I knew it was time to hear from her.  She is really Brian's conscience so he needs to know she is on his side.  I promise a new chapter soon.  Thanks for all your support over the past year.  I don't think you have missed commenting on any chapter and I really appreciate that.  Bill

Reviewer: julia005 (Anonymous) · Date: November 16, 2014 07:56 PM · On: Chapter 54

I didn´t know up til now, that you are THAT fast!You are amazing!

I´m not that fast in reviewing....I couldn´t believe in this devilish plan of devilish Toni, but you made it real. That´s tough. But who got shot in the end? I´m not quite sure whether it´s Justin. This clif-thing is terrible! I hope this will end with Toni behind the bars. And Claire is now his partner in crime.

Peter is great!

As you brought up Debbie, I wish Carl could be around the corner and step in.

There were lots of beautiful scenes - the nephews maybe comming to San Francisco, the permanent custody- theme. Best thing of the chapter: Alice´s special hot sauce, her legal weapon! Just great, I love it, never stop this! (hehe)

 



Author's Response:

Good things are worth waiting for so I am always happy to see your reviews.  Sorry you think the cliffhanger is terrible, suspense can be a good thing.  I appreciate all your very nice comments, you always help inspire me to continue the story.  It is fun for me to read what people's favorite parts of the chapter are, they are usually so different.  Next chapter will be posted soon.  Bill

Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: November 16, 2014 07:33 PM · On: Chapter 54

Well I'm glad to see that Justin didn't go down without a fight and that Peter was so quick on his feet and called for help. I wonder how that wench can look at herself in the mirror. She went along with Tino's scheme even though she knew her own son could potentially be put in danger.

On another note, have I had the chance to tell you how much I love all the practicality you have incorporated in this story? Well...I LOVE IT! It's the little touches like trips to Sam's Club that adds a more realistic feel to this work...now I'm anxiously awaiting the next chapter ;)

Author's Response:

Justin fighting back was a for sure thing.  Thanks for your nice comment and for being a loyal reviewer which I so appreciate.  Next chapter will be up soon I promise.  Bill

Reviewer: Anonymous (Anonymous) · Date: November 16, 2014 06:40 PM · On: Chapter 54

Good for Justin!  I hope the guy on the ground rats Tino and Claire out.  



Author's Response:

You know what they say no honor among thieves (or kidnappers).  Tino and Claire are going to get in plenty of trouble.  Thanks for the review!!!!  Bill

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: November 16, 2014 02:37 PM · On: Chapter 54

Hi, Bill! While I'm glad - and I expected - Justin to put up some type of fight, I'm sorry he wound up getting hurt.  I'm also glad, though, that Peter had the presence of mind to do as Justin asked, and to seek out help immediately afterward. And I love an angry, worried, and protective Brian regarding his Sunshine, so I have a feeling that may be emerging in the next chapter.;)

As for holding the next chapter 'hostage,' you're not fooling me - I think you would post it anyway.;)  But I know what you mean about reviews keeping your inspired to post faster. I only wish I had about 24 more hours in the day to help me accomplish that!  I also know you would continue posting regularly in either case, because you have always been so good about that. Congratulations again on all the accolades, my friend.  I trust you are slowly heading toward the conclusion, but I hope not too soon. I have definitely been enjoying this one, and will miss it when it's over.  This is almost like having a Season Six!  *Hugs*  ~Kim



Author's Response:

Thanks for all your kind comment.  Enjoying your stories so much is what got me to write my story in the first place.  I am really proud that you are enjoying my story after I have enjoyed so many of yours (Dog Days is my favorite).  You are right I would post the next chapter anyway but a little blackmail for extra reviews is not a really bad thing, is it??

For better or worse I don't have any ending in mind yet but maybe I should think about ending this one and starting a sequel (Season 7???).  You know I appreciate all your support.  Bill

Reviewer: Shf1210 (Anonymous) · Date: November 16, 2014 02:20 PM · On: Chapter 54

I guess Ted is doing another presentation. I love Alice's ways of protecting her boys. I was glad to see you snuck in the idea that John and Peter are going to San Francisco although right now depending on how fast you tell us how badly hurt Justin is I wonder if anyone is going.  I love Gus talking to or reading to Justin in the studio and I get Justin's worry about Gus growing out of his enjoyment of that time. I love love love love how fast the chapters are coming so another one before the end of the week will get no complaints from me, especially since you shot Justin ok so maybe it was the bungling kidnapper but you wrote it. 



Author's Response:

Brian has excellent backup at Kinnetik with Ted and Cynthia. More Alice in protection mode is coming in the next chapter. We can't be sure that Justin was Tino's only target. John is at the park and Gus is with the O'Briens. Claire has that info as well as wHere Justin and Peter were going to be.   Being a good drug dealer does not always mean you will be good at other criminal activities.  New chapter will be posted soon.  Thanks for the nice review.  You know I always appreciate hearing from the readers.  Bill     

Reviewer: Anonymous (Anonymous) · Date: November 16, 2014 02:03 PM · On: Chapter 54

Reviewer: tiger062 (Signed) · Date: November 16, 2014 01:34 PM · On: Chapter 54

What the??????? No, no, no - the suggestion was that Tino needed to be shot. Well at least one of the kidnappers should be caught. Brian is going to have a fit when he hears Justin's been hurt. Peter did good. Please don't make us wait too long for the next chapter - need to know how hurt Justin is.

Author's Response:

You never know what curve balls life, or my story, is going to throw you.  Just keep in mind that this is a low angst story.  Thanks for your nice review.  Won't be a long wait for 55.  Bill

Reviewer: Dioramanya (Anonymous) · Date: November 16, 2014 12:56 PM · On: Chapter 54

Hey, I enjoyed this chapter. I really wanted to know if Claire would follow Tino's plan and now I do. Thank you.

Claire should have known that for a kidnapping one man isn't enough. So Tino would have some "friends" help him, which mean more people know about her involvement in it. How long did it take for her neighborhood to know about her little accident with drugs ? How long before Brian knows about her putting Justin and Peter in danger ?

I'm just glad of the way Peter reacted. He listened and did what Justin told him to do without struggle. I believe it gave Justin time to think about what to do to make sure Peter stay safe. After the bashing and Hobbs, Justin wouldn't let this guy hurt Peter and him without a fight. Unfortunately, Pink Posse didn't teach him how to defend himself against someone with a gun.

Will Peter pick up the gun to make sure the man stay on the ground and protect Justin until the ambulance come ? That's what I would do. Will they still be able to go to San Francisco ?

 



Author's Response:

Happy you enjoyed the latest chapter.  I think it won't take long for Brian to realize Claire played a role in the attempted kidnapping and I suspect he will not be a good sport about it.  I think the hot sauce was a good way for Justin to strike back.  I don't think anything good came out of "Pink Posse" but that is just my opinion.  Peter will continue to respond well to the situation in the next chapter.  Thanks you very much for the review and letting me know you are reading and enjoying the story.  Bill

Reviewer: vlsope2@yahoo.com (Anonymous) · Date: November 16, 2014 03:31 AM · On: Chapter 53

I am really enjoying your story. I'm still apalled by Joan, I know how she hates gays but is having a addict who uses sex more casually than Brian a better choice? Maybe in the long run Joan would be more embarresed by her church friends for all the drug use. The boys are really doing well. I hope Brian's PI sees the situationn before Justin is hurt.More chapters, please



Author's Response:

Thanks so much for letting me know you are still reading and enjoying the story.  Joan is pretty appalling and just a little sad.  She kept her shitty home life a secret for years and now she is left with two damaged children who embarress her.  If she had left Jack everyone might be happier now.  Of course Brian would still be gay but maybe she would accept it better.  I think the PI has really been called off since they have all the info they need to make Claire look bad.  Should have the next chapter up soon.  Thanks again for the review.  Bill

Reviewer: Mariana (Anonymous) · Date: November 15, 2014 07:14 AM · On: Chapter 53

OH, it's bad news about Tony's plan. A kidnap can ruin someone life mentaly. So please don't let it happened. I enjoy this story very much. You keep writing and I'll keep reading.



Author's Response:

Glad you are enjoying the story.  I still have a bunch of ideas so I think I will be writing for some time.  Tino is a bad news kind of guy.  THanks for the review!!  BIll

Reviewer: DavidR (Signed) · Date: November 15, 2014 01:59 AM · On: Chapter 53

    That was another terrific chapter. 


    It was nice to see John get a lot of print time these last few


chapters.  He seems to be a very special person.  A chapter


back, he seemed to have met a girl and I wouldn’t mind if he


got himself a girl friend.  Just about everyone else old enough


has someone special.


    I sure hope this kidnapping plan doesn’t go anywhere and


that Peter doesn’t inadvertently help.  This is serious and very


dangerous, and people can get badly hurt.


    Thanks again for the chapter and story.


     DavidR



Author's Response:

Thanks for letting me know you are reading and enjoying the story.  Nice to have loyal readers a full year - today - after chapter 1 was posted here.  I think once school starts John will have a chance to see more of Patrice.  You will have to stay tuned to see what happens with Tino's plan.  One thing we know for sure is he has chosen a pretty useless partner.  Keep in mind that this has been and will remain a pretty low angst story but a little excitement every once in a while could be a good thing.  Hope you continue to enjoy the story.  Bill

Reviewer: wellreadbunny (Signed) · Date: November 14, 2014 05:08 PM · On: Chapter 53

Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! You are so evil. I never saw this coming. Brian we destroy everyone before he lets anything happen to Justin again. I didn't think Claire was balsy enough to ask for money for the kids.

Author's Response:

Nothing has even happened yet.  I hope you survive if there is more excitment coming.  Thanks for letting me know you are still reading!  and enjoying?  Bill

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: November 14, 2014 01:21 PM · On: Chapter 53

Had to read this one before heading off to my job.  Uh, oh. A little worried about this chain of events. That Tino is bad news, and I suspect if he thinks Justin is just going to obey him like a dutiful, little puppy dog, he is probably going to be sadly mistaken.  I do love a protective Brian, though, and I trust you to know that you won't let anything happen to his partner. 

Thanks for the latest update, Bill!  This one will be novel length before you're through - LOL!  And to think it all started with one, little chapter.;)  So happy to have you posting it on here. *Hugs*  ~Kim



Author's Response:

Good thing you are enjoying this story since you are solely responsible for it being posted here.  It was one year ago that you helped me get set up on Midnight Whispers.  Thanks for all your support and encouragement over the past year.  I agree that Tino has a distorted view of how Justin would react.  Tino is correct to think Brian would pay any ransom to get his Sunshine back.  Guess we will just have to wait and see how this all plays out.  Maybe Claire will come to her senses- Nah that will never happen.  Will try to have the next chapter posted soon.  Thanks again,  Bill

Reviewer: tiger062 (Signed) · Date: November 14, 2014 11:22 AM · On: Chapter 53

Claire needs sense knocked into her and self pride knocked out and a little love for her children and what's best for them wouldn't hurt either. Tino just needs to be shot. Justin is a lot stronger and much more fierce than what most people think. Looking forward to what you have for us next.

I wouldn't count on Claire getting her act together too soon.  She is deeply in denial.  Hmmm, Someone being shot that could be interesting, maybe that will happen.  Thanks for taking time to review, I appreciate all reviews!  Bill

Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: November 14, 2014 10:53 AM · On: Chapter 53

Oh dear I was worried Tino and
Claire would resort to vilolence but I never thought they would stoop to kidnapping Justin wow I look forward to the next chapter

Author's Response:

Tino is a problem and Claire is a fool. Hope to have the next chapter up soon. Thanks, as always, for reviewing. I appreciate all my loyal reviewers!!! Bill

Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: November 14, 2014 08:44 AM · On: Chapter 53

Damn that bitch Claire...I hope Tino isn't successful in carrying out his fucked up plan...I also hope Brian can reign in his anger when he finds out.

Author's Response:

Claire does not make good choices in life that's for sure.  We'll have to wait and see what happens with Tino's plan.  Thanks for taking time to review.  Bill

Please No don't hurt my sunshine 



Author's Response:

That could end the story in a pretty dramatic way but maybe nothing bad will happen. 

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: November 14, 2014 07:04 AM · On: Chapter 53

Oh my God.  What trouble you have planned for Justin.  Somehow I hope the kidnapping never comes to pass.  I'd like to find out what happens to Hal, maybe he will lose the job?  I'm glad to see that the new tutor is working out just fine.  I'm really enjoying this story and this latest chapter has me on the edge of my seat!



Author's Response:

As always I wait for your review, you are one of my most loyal reviewers and I appreciate that a lot!  You know my story has a pretty low agnst level so it is unlikely that anything too horrible will happen.  Thansk for the nice comments I am happy you are still enjoying my story after all this time.  Bill 

Reviewer: shf1210 (Anonymous) · Date: November 14, 2014 05:03 AM · On: Chapter 53

Wow 53 in 52 in 364 days impressive.  Lol now beat it for next year yes it's a challenge. Now what I loved and didn't about this chapter. Brian and lunch with Claire I wish he had not given it all away what they had on her.  I think  Justin May have some skills that are going to get Tino in more trouble than he knows but why do I also see a chapter soon with a cliffhanger after Justin gets hurt. I loved that John was doing better with Justin even if he is a little embarrassed.  The ore thought that just came to me as I was typing this review is could Peter catch on to the trouble his Mather is trying to plan and give it all away to Brian and Justin. OMG this little tiny chapter just opened multiple cans of worms and now I need 2 more chapters quick to answer some of these questions before my head explodes from the possibilities .



Author's Response:

I don't think the lunch will have any long term effect on the custody battle. I wish you would stay out of my head!!!!! I promise one more quick chapter.  So you think I can take this story past 100 chapters?  I guess time will tell.  Thanks for all your support I really appreciate!!! Bill

Reviewer: Lorie (Signed) · Date: November 14, 2014 04:31 AM · On: Chapter 53

Love this story. Your writing is very entertaining.
Please don't let Justin get hurt. Peter could get suspicious and tell Brian and Justin that his mother is asking questions.

Author's Response:

Thanks for the nice comments.  Can't say for sure what will happen with Justin.  Don't think Peter will get too suspicious of his mother.  I plan to have the next chapter out pretty quickly.  Thanks for the review!  Bill 

Reviewer: CFC (Anonymous) · Date: November 14, 2014 04:05 AM · On: Chapter 53

Ouch, scary things ahead. I see you stressed the boys setting the alarm, leading to lots of conflict if it is how Justin is taken.

I welcome each new chapter!

Author's Response:

Glad you are still enjoying the story.  Don't read too much into the alarm comment.  Nothing will happen at the house.  Thanks for the review you are very loyal anout reviewing and I appreciate it.  Bill

That was great. Brian should call his lawyer first thing and get a copy of the police report. The kids will be theirs . I liked the ideal of bringing snacks to the ER how smart.

Author's Response:

Unfortunately I have spent lots of time in ER's over the years.  Found it helpful to grad a few snack things before heading there ti usually sit for hours.  Thanks for letting me know you are still enjoying the story.  Bill

Reviewer: julia005 (Anonymous) · Date: November 07, 2014 05:41 PM · On: Chapter 52

Hey, my friend, you are so fast in writing, I couldn´t review in time. You made chapter 51 and 52 fit very well together. John´s trust issue regarding his unfit first tutor first, and then his call to Brian in the hospital wiht the annoying social worker. That´s a lot of progres! He learned his lesson, this is great an dmuch needed. Joan will never see her bad influence to Claire (addiction, like mother like daughter), admit her failure,  take her responsibility - so blind! Still hurting people, this time her innocent grandsons. Thank Brian-Peter and John will earn more trust, their place in the new sort-of-family. They knew what they need and want: Living with B&J, protected and encouraged. That is growing up and that is healing. Phantasti!

 Thanks! You did a great job - again!! And in the end: A new and nice tutor. Yeah!

(I hope this review is understandable...grh ;)

I´ll just read again the last chapters, will be a nice evening.



Author's Response:

Really happy to hear from you.  When I don't get any comments from my faithful reviewers I think that maybe they have gotten bored with this story.  It has gone on for almost a year now.  I am glad you are still enjoying the story and appreciate, as always, all your kind comments.  I think John and Peter are continuing to feel more secure with their uncles.  There is more drama coming from Claire.  I think a lot of people feel like Joan does that alcohol is not as bad as drugs because one is legal and other is not but adddiction is addiction.

I hope you enjoy re-reading the chapters.  Again thank yoy so much for your support, I really appreciate it!  Bill

Reviewer: Shf1210 (Anonymous) · Date: November 07, 2014 02:25 PM · On: Chapter 52

First 52 in less than 52 weeks yippee!!!!!!!   Claire oh my  I did not see her drug use being found out this way I thought she would get arrested while buying them.  I like how Brian protected  John  and Peter from both Joan and Claire and the way Brian showed his hand that they were seeking permanent custody and that it had been John and Peter's idea. How did Joan have time to sic the social worker on the boys I loved Brian going after the hospital that was great. So much happened but I read it so fast I am going back to read it again.



Author's Response:

Gald you are happy with Chapter 52.  More drama coming from Claire.  Joan talked to the social worker before Brian arrived with John and Peter.  She knew they were coming.  Hope you still enjoyed the chapter after the second reading.   Thanks for all your great comments and support.  Bill       

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: November 07, 2014 01:07 PM · On: Chapter 52

Hi, Bill!  First of all, congratulations on 400 reviews! That's amazing, but so well deserved. So much going on in this chapter, and so many emotions. Love how B and J are taking care of their 'boys' while Claire is in the hospital.  Ugh. Hard to have sympathy for her, but in a way I can understand how she became so mixed up with the childhood she and Brian had, but I'm still voting to keep her sons with B and J.

Thanks for such a wonderful update! As always, I'll be looking forward to more. *Hugs*  ~Kim



Author's Response:

Thanks for being number 400!  Happy that you are still enjoying the story.  I am still enjoying writing it.  There is more drama coming from Claire, something I think that will surprise the readers.  Brian did the right thing in keeping away from Joan as much as possible, Claire has stayed closer to Joan and I think that is her big mistake.  I appreciate all the nice comments.  I really appreciate all your support from when I first starting writing this story.  Hugs!  Bill

Reviewer: tiger062 (Signed) · Date: November 07, 2014 09:51 AM · On: Chapter 52

Great Lunchtime reading. Joan is unbelievable. It's good to see both John and Peter happy with Brian and Justin. Looking forward to more......

Author's Response:

Happy you are enjoying the story.  Joan is an interesting person for sure and has her own unique view of the world.  Thanks for taking time to review.  I appreciate it.  Bill

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: November 07, 2014 06:43 AM · On: Chapter 52

What a wonderful chapter.  Claire told off Joanie, who evidently lives in a world of her own.  I almost thought Claire was going to be in a coma once she fell in the bathroom.  Thank goodness John and Peter were able to call Brian when that social worker wouldn't leave them alone.  I have a feeling her job might be on the line.  Really that was all Joanie's fault.  I really like the new tutor. 



Author's Response:

Always. Always happy to see your review but I was hoping you would hold off a little and get to be my 400th review. Joan is in a world of her own and what a frightenng world that must be! Claire has some new trouble to cause. Brian will do his best to cause toruble for that social worker. The new tutor is a nice chnage from Mr Kramsie. Thank for the nice comments you know I always appreciate hearing from you.  Bill

Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: November 07, 2014 05:54 AM · On: Chapter 52

Unbelievable! Joan had one hell of a nerve pulling a stunt like that. She really pissed me off here.

Author's Response:

Joan never disappoint she is always a bitch.  Hopefully you enjoyed being pissed off.  THanks for the review.  Bill

Reviewer: wellreadbunny (Signed) · Date: November 04, 2014 05:37 PM · On: Chapter 51

Brian and Justin kick ass as parents. I'm so glad they stood up for John.

Author's Response:

It was a new experience for John to have people stand up for him.  Happy you are still reading and enjoying the story.  Thanks for the review!!  Bill

Reviewer: CFC (Anonymous) · Date: November 04, 2014 05:19 AM · On: Chapter 51

The 28th really was my birthday.

Another interesting story. I Hope we can get more on the rehab and gallery and the girl's move.

I'm still enjoying this story a lot.

Author's Response:

Hope you had a great birthday.  A little more about Claire coming in the next chapter but that's not the rehab you're talking about.  I promise more on Bloom and Lindsay soon.  Happy you are still enjoying the story.  Thanks for being such a loyal reviewer.  Bill

Reviewer: Lorie (Signed) · Date: November 03, 2014 11:49 PM · On: Chapter 51

Love Cynthia's intimidation.
Brian and Justin are wonderful parents. Too bad most parents are not like that with their children. Now Claire needs to get caught and Brian and Justin need to get permanent custody of the boys.

Author's Response:

She learned from all her years with Brian. You are right all parents should be there for their children.  B&J know what it is like for parents to not support you so they can understand how hard it is for John and Peter to trust them.  More Claire drama in the next chapter.  Thanks for letting me know you are reading and enjoying the story.  Bill

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: November 03, 2014 10:39 PM · On: Chapter 51

Another great chapter, Bill! I loved Justin in papa bear mode with the tutor!  I think both boys are beginning to realize who they need to trust, and what a wonderful gift they have been given. As for Claire - ugh. How many chances will she get? As much as I feel sorry for her in a way, IMO it would be best for the boys to remain with their uncles, and finally have a chance to succeed in life.

I do love the slower pace of this story.  It's what I would call a gentle fic, but with so much emotion packed inside.  Thank you for this wonderful story.  *Hugs*  ~Kim



Author's Response:

Thanks for the nice comments and for letting me know you are still enjoying my story.  More about Claire in the next chapter.  She doesn't do anything to make the case that she should resume custody of her sons.  Ithink the boy are not used to having adults they can count on so it is hard for them to accept that B&J are there for them.  I appreciate all your support.  Bill

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: November 03, 2014 06:49 PM · On: Chapter 51

Love this.  I'm so glad that Justin got to hear what the tutor was saying.  I can understand why John didn't feel that he could bring this up, but hopefully things on that front will change.  I'm proud of the way Cynthia went about getting them that appointment with the headmaster.  Shaking things up at the school might be a really good thing.  If the board knew how bad an impression Kramsie was making they just might let him go!  Wonderful chapter, please hurry with another one.



Author's Response:

Happy you liked this chapter.  I think John has a hard time really believing any adults are really on his side.  Cynthia learned intimidation from the best!  Thanks for the nice comments and for your review loyalty, I am always anxious to read your review.  Bill

Reviewer: shf1210 (Anonymous) · Date: November 03, 2014 01:54 PM · On: Chapter 51

first looks like your going to do it 52 chapters in 52 weeks congrats!!!  Wow Justin is really standing up for John now John needs to realize there are adults who mean what they say. Claire ummm I guess if she gets fired before Brian shows her the report she won't bother to fight for the boys. Which could also leave her homeless since I see Joan throwing her out.  Eagerly awaiting chapter 52 by the way if you wanted to do 53 in in 52 i won't complain....



Author's Response:

First thanks for all your support.  It is very falttering to know that people are reading and enjoying my story and want more.  I think John is starting to realize that he has adults in his life that are really on his side and will stand up for him.  John and Peter really have experiences that in thier lives.  More on Claire in the next chapter, she is still her own worst enemy.  Thanks again for all the necie comments.  Bill

You are very kind to let me know how much you like my story. I have a couple favorites on here that I have reread a few times. Rereading this long story really takes some committment, I am flattered you like it enough to do that. Hope you continue to enjoy the story. Thanks agian for this really nice review. Bill

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: October 29, 2014 02:31 AM · On: Chapter 50

Hi, Bill - finally had a chance to catch up with your wonderful story. So many things going on!  I love all the subplots, and how you have created such interesting other characters to interact with the boys.  I'm glad they now know about Claire, but what a dilemma to be in!  I like how they are being cautious with John and Peter.

The love this family feels for each other is so clear.  Now what is going on with the cliffhanger at the end? I'll be looking foward to finding out more. Thank you for posting this - and good luck with your goal! *Hugs*  ~Kim



Author's Response:

I kind of appropraited the "cliffhanger" idea from my favorite QAF author who has been keeping us hanging at the end of each chapter of her latest story.  Someone you have an intimate knowledge of.  Claire is a problem and will continue to be one for a few more chapters at least!  Thanks so much for all the nice comments.  Anxiously waiting for the next update on your story.  Bill

Reviewer: GravityAlwaysWins (Signed) · Date: October 29, 2014 02:25 AM · On: Chapter 2

Another wonderful chapter, Bill :)  I loved Jennifer mothering Brian, and Brian's reaction was so sweet.  You also have me quite curious about Claire. 

I always loved the scenes in the show featuring the Kinney family members.  I'm happy to see Joan and Claire being included here - not that I like them as people very much, but I always find their relationship with Brian to be interesting :)



Author's Response:

Thanks for the nice comments.  Lots of Claire and Joan in the subsequent chapters. I agree that while they are hateful people the whole Kinney family dynamic is interesting.  Hope you continue to enjoy the story, it is cool to hear from someone starting back at the beginning of the story.  Bill

Reviewer: GravityAlwaysWins (Signed) · Date: October 29, 2014 01:38 AM · On: Chapter 1

Hi Bill,

So, saying that I’m late to the party is the understatement of the century.  I’ve been meaning to read your story for quite some time. 

I thoroughly enjoyed this first chapter!  Poor Brian – the flu is never fun, but he’s got a very good caretaker in Justin.  Also, $25,000 for a roof?  Something seems fishy to me. 

Love it so far!  I look forward to reading more :)



Author's Response:

Hope you continue to enjoy the story.  I am working on chapter 51 so that is a lot of story to catch up on.  I hope you make it through.  I hope this reading time doesn't delay any updates for "The Visitor" that would be bad.  Thanks,  Bill

Just like a birthday present, this chapter was waiting there for me.

I'm glad Hal's resignation went so well. It should be interesting to see how the search for a new director goes.

And you left us with a cliff hanger!

Looking forward to the next chapter!

Author's Response:

no one said anything about stopping.  I am still enjoying this story.  This is probably bad to admit but I sometimes check and see which chapters get the most views and go back and read them (my docx not adding to the views) and actually enjoy them all over again.  Every time I go to the site and see the banner you made for my story I mentally thank you!  Bill

Reviewer: julia005 (Anonymous) · Date: October 28, 2014 04:26 PM · On: Chapter 50

OMG, that teacher Mr. Kramsie (what a name!) really scares me - is there homophobia involved? You don´t let him hurt someone?

And if this isn´t enough, Claire´s disaster is going to hurt Peter and John when revealed at court. I don´t know what to hope in this hopeless case. She already choose the drugs over her sons, that´s the truth she can´t see.

You are really great in writing suspence. The story is getting better and better.  We are all so hooked. Can´t thank you enough - reading time with your story is one of my favourite moments!



Author's Response:

Don't worry too much about Mr Kramsie Justin will straighten out that situation.  Claire is pretty selfish and just sees her point of view.  As Brian has pointed out she doesn't have much of a motherly role model in Joan.  I have some surprises to come in the Claire story line. Your comments are always so very nice about the story and certainly encourage me to continue writing it.  Thank you so much for all your support!!  Bill

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: October 28, 2014 04:25 PM · On: Chapter 50

The best thing about this story is there are more good times then bad.  I'm wondering how Brian's talk will go with Claire and what Justin will learn about Ron.  It's a shame that Hal will be messing up Greg's work place.  Looking forward to all the chapters you'll be writing.



Author's Response:

I admit I am not a bog fan of too much angst.  My favorite stories to read were always the ones by Predec2 so I like to think mine follows her example.  Thanks for all your support, you are such a loyal reviewer I'm sure all the authors you comment on appreciate you (I see your reviews on most of the stories I read).  Bill

Reviewer: shf1210 (Anonymous) · Date: October 28, 2014 11:58 AM · On: Chapter 50

First so glad you accepted my challenge more chapters  YAY.  Next Claire while I think she might be willing to allow Brian and Justin custody I think Joan will want to fight no matter what and a scared Claire may have no choice but to start that fight.  John's teacher worries me a little especially the way Peter suggested Justin eavesdrop. Will Justin have to intervene in the tutoring. Last but not least why does a happy Lindsay scare the crap out of me?  Again thanks for accepting my challenge, 2 more chapters inn17 days makes me happier than you want to know...



Author's Response:

I think you may have surprises coming from Miss Claire.  I don't anticipate a smooth road to full custody for B&J.  The tutoring issue will be fully exlained in Chapter 51 - which I hope to post by the end of this week.  I have a feeling Lindsay will not stay happy for long but don't forget Alice & Jennifer are firmly in team B&J so they will be sure Lindsay doesn't get too far out of line!  Happy you are still enjoying the story almost a year later. Bill

I knew that damned tutor was going to be trouble. I hope Brian and Justin catch him in the act. As for Claire she'll never learn.

Author's Response:

Justin will sort out the tutor issues in the next chapter.  Claire certainly does NOT learn from her past mistakes. She was not lucky enough to have a "Justin-type" in her life to help her overcome childhood trauma.  Thanks for taking time to review and let me know you are enjoying the story.  Bill

So I was just looking at when you started this story, which I will say again and again is the one I look for new chapters of daily, and noticed you are coming up on a year in 3 weeks.  Now for a little begging or a challenge if you will is there any chance between now and November14 you can put out 3 more chapters so you do 52 chapters in 52 weeks. Just so you know even if you don't get there I will still look daily for new chapters and review them as they Ppear thanks for reading my request.



Author's Response:

Two minds with a single thought.  I have been considering the same thing myself.  Since you brought it up, I am going to try and do 52 chapters in 52 weeks!  Thanks for the encouragement. No Promises but I will try!!!  Bill

Reviewer: Flossee (Signed) · Date: October 24, 2014 04:40 AM · On: Chapter 49

I really enjoyed catching up with your fic.  OMG, I love how Hal got his comeuppance.   You were very clever using the name Hal for this character as we are all familiar with the name, yet it is not so common; allowing Brian and Justin to surmise he was one and the same person.   I really want Claire to be able to kick her drug habit, although I am a little worried that she isn't missing her boys. 

Cheers :)



Author's Response:

Really happy you enjoyed the latest chapter.  Claire has some more trouble on the way so not quite ready to give up her drugs.  Hope you won't be too disappointed.  Thanks for you nice comments, I always look forward to your reviews.  Bill

I was thrilled to see a new chapter so soon and that long!

You gave us some lovely family moments with Gus, the nephews and sweet Kevin. The Hal thing isn´t finished yet, I can smell more trouble (the same with poor Claire).

Poor John with this strange teacher, alone in dining room with classroom athmosphere - how crazy is this going to be? I think Justin will take good care of this freak if need be.

One thing made me laugh: John and the girl! I already can imagine poor Brian with John having "the spech" LOL! And this boy should have some fun. He hasn´t had much luck with the women in his life yet.

You gave us a very long chapter - there you have it: Your readers are even more addicted and hungry - hahahaha! Give us more and soon ;))



Author's Response:

Happy you enjoyed this chapter.  You are right about more trouble for Claire, she hasn't got her life under control yet and things could get worse.  So you don't think Ron is just very professional?  You may be correct.  Thanks, as always for you nice comments.  I also look forward to reading your review and appreciate you letting me know you are still resding and enjoying.  Working on chapter 50, which I can hardly believe.  Thanks again,  Bill

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: October 22, 2014 07:08 PM · On: Chapter 49

What a wonderful chapter.  Kevin and Gus are really getting along great!  I was reading about what everyone was doing and wondering where Peter was when he showed up in the next sentence.  Clair's life seems to have gone from bad to worse since meeting Tino, not that it was all that great to begin with.  Now for Hal. You really did a fine job of getting rid of him.  I wonder what those personal files contain.  Can't wait to see what you plan next.



Author's Response:

As always happy to see your comments.  There was a lot going on so I kind of forgot where Peter was for a while.  Tino is NOT done with Clair yet, I have some really neat ideas for them.  I think the files on the art department PC will be pretty interesting.  Thanks for still reading and reviewing.  Bill

Ah I can see already that the tutor is a pretentious little shit, not to mention that Hal is in for one hell of a rude awakening.

I can't wait to see what happens next ;)

Author's Response:

Glad the story is still holding your interest at chapter 49.  Hal is pretty clueless, doesn;t look like he is going to get that bog severance bonus he was counting on.  Thanks, as always, for you nice comments.  Bill

Reviewer: shf1210 (Anonymous) · Date: October 22, 2014 11:29 AM · On: Chapter 49

Love love love how they got Hal.  Very curious to see what the detective brings Brian and Justin about Claire.  Not sure what to make of this tutor but I know Justin will take care of it.  Hope it's a short wait until the next chapter my withdrawal is painful...



Author's Response:

Happy you enjoyed the Hal meeting.  PI report on Claire coming soon, this chapter already ran long.  I'll try to get the next chapter done quickly but I always say that but somehow it doesn't happen.  Bill

Reviewer: julia005 (Anonymous) · Date: October 16, 2014 04:23 PM · On: Chapter 48

Happy to see a new chapter! And such a crazy twist you did with Hal - perfect! I loved it!

We have so much coming around now, please go on! I hope you have still fun writing for us!

And Lindsay: She might repeat again and again her needs....but it´s no longer annoying, it´s just boring. So, Linds, shut the f... up and everybody will move on. 

 



Author's Response:

Always happu to hear from you.  So glad you are still enjoying the story.  Lindsay is kind of a broken record, she just keeps repeating the same things.  Thanks for letting me know you are still reading and enjoyng.  Bill

Reviewer: vlsope2@yahoo.com (Anonymous) · Date: October 15, 2014 06:36 PM · On: Chapter 48

great story! Every chapter gets better and better. It's a contest as to who is more clueless Lindsay, Claire or michael. I don't think Claire really is interested in getting the boys back and feel Joan is more interested in apperances and actually dealing with the boys. Gus and Kevin are adorable. Grandmom Jen and Alice need keep up with Lindsay seems that Mel is really greatful to Brian and Justin. Now is the time to sock it to Hal he is truly a scumbag demote him to janitor but don't change his pay his ego will do him in. 



Author's Response:

Thanks for the nice comments,  Happy you are still enjoying the story.  Working on chapter 49.  I don't think Lindsay stands a chance against Alice and Jennifer!  Thanks fo taking time to review!  Bill

I know i'm late for the party, but i love this, please update soon!

Author's Response:

Never too late for a nice review.  Happy you are enjoying the story, thanks for letting me know.  Hope you continue to enjoy it.

Reviewer: missy (Anonymous) · Date: October 11, 2014 08:09 PM · On: Chapter 48

Lindsay is sooo ungrateful. Thank you for the update. I am looking forward to the next chapter :)



Author's Response:

I think Lindsay feels like she is just asking for what is due to her, she has a somewhat unrealistic view of her relationship with Brian. Thanks for letting me know you are still enjoying the story. It seems like maybe keeping readers waiting awhile increases the number of reviews and I love reviews. Maybe I need to space out my updates more often????? Bill

Reviewer: wellreadbunny (Signed) · Date: October 11, 2014 05:23 PM · On: Chapter 48

I missed you last week. The new level of intrigue is pretty exciting .

Author's Response:

You are being kind, it has been more than one week since the last update.  I pormise not to make you wait as long for the next chapter.  Glad you liked the new chapter.  Bill

Reviewer: CFC (Anonymous) · Date: October 11, 2014 12:59 PM · On: Chapter 48

Good to see you back.

I like the plot twist with Hal. The underhandedness seems to fit him to a T.

Mel sure seems a front runner for most improved character.

Author's Response:

Happy you liked the latest chapter.  Sorry I made you wait so long for it to be posted.  Mel needs to balance out the annoyance of Lindsay.  Thanks for reviewing!! Bill

Reviewer: Kathrin (Anonymous) · Date: October 11, 2014 10:59 AM · On: Chapter 48

I'm really glad about this new chapter. I was starting to get severe withdrawal symptoms.

Nice turn with Hal. I'm still curious how Lindsay will get on with Kevin.

 



Author's Response:

Sorry to make you wait so long for the update.  Lindsay doesn't really seem to get along with anyone.  If Lndsay doesn't get along with Kevin that will give Jennifer and Alice another reason to dislike her.  Glad you are still enjoying the story.  Bill

Reviewer: tiger062 (Signed) · Date: October 11, 2014 08:23 AM · On: Chapter 48

Great chapter.  Things seems on the brink of spirialling out of control for some people, of course they deserve everything they get.  Sounds like Greg might be useful to Kinnetik and he's got experience dealing with a team.  I can't wait until Lindsay is brought down a peg or two.



Author's Response:

Happy you liked the latest chapter.  I think you are correct that some people may not be happy with how their lives are going.  So you think Greg may end up at Kinnetik, Hmmmmmmmmmmm.  THanks for the review, always hapoy to know people are enjoying the story.

Reviewer: Jay (Anonymous) · Date: October 11, 2014 03:03 AM · On: Chapter 48

WOW!!! Great chapter.  totally enjoyed it

 

 



Author's Response:

Really happy you enjoyed the new chapter, sorry you had to wait so long between updates.  Thanks for taking time to review, I appreciate it. 

Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: October 11, 2014 02:52 AM · On: Chapter 48

Damn! (I've been saying that a lot lately lol) but could things get stranger with this family? I hope Brian plans to torture Hal so bad that he quits without getting a dime. Lindsay...well she better get her act together. As for Claire, she better tighten up too.

Author's Response:

Damn, I'm glad you are still enjoying the story.  I think Hal is in for some surprises at Kinntik on Monday.  Things get even stranger with Claire soon.  Thanks for the review!!  Bill

Reviewer: BlueButterfly (Signed) · Date: October 11, 2014 12:45 AM · On: Chapter 48

You know what I hate more than someone who is nasty to you right to your face? Passive aggressiveness, and boy does Lindsay have that in spades. I just want to punch her in the face (that's a compliment to your writing).



Author's Response:

Thanks for the compliment to my writing I'm glad are enjoying the story if not enjoyng Lindsay very much.  She just can;t accept she can't get whatever she wants from Brian.  Thanks for taking time to review I appreciate it!

Reviewer: samcdee (Signed) · Date: October 10, 2014 11:51 PM · On: Chapter 48

The cat is out of the bag for Hal!  



Author's Response:

And soon Hal will be out of Kinnetik.

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: October 10, 2014 11:07 PM · On: Chapter 48

Another great update, Bill! I love Alice - LOL! She certainly put Brian in his place.;)  And it sounds like Hal is about to get beaten at his own game.  You never know who knows somebody else.;) 

Thanks for this story, Bill.  I love all the details you put into it. Almost feels like another season of the show.  *Hugs*  ~Kim



Author's Response:

Thanks my friend for the nice review.  Really happy you are still enjoying my story.  I can't believe I am close to 50 chapters!  I appreciate all your support and encouragement.  Bill

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: October 10, 2014 10:48 PM · On: Chapter 48

Happy am I to see another chapter.  You start off with Claire and I'm afraid that she'll end up in trouble, either by taking pills or losing her job.  Kevin and Gus are too cute.  Lindsay is being a bitch and hopefully getting herself into trouble.  Now we come to Hal.  I am so looking forward to see what your plans are regarding him!  Love how Alice lit into Brian and put him in his place and on the right track.



Author's Response:

Thanks for the nice comments, I always look forward to your review.  Claire is certainly heading for more trouble, hopefully I have some surprises there for you.  I enjoy Gus, it will be ahrd when he goes back to live with his mommies but he will visit often under the new vistation agreement.  Alice take no prisoners when anyone misbehaves but she is very loyal to her boys.  Thanks again for being such a loyal reviewer.  Bill

Reviewer: bksbracelet (Signed) · Date: October 10, 2014 10:43 PM · On: Chapter 48

Lol Hal is toast! Omg Lindsay is a total bitch and she totally pisses me off, but she is in for trouble if she takes on the Taylor's! Both of them and in fact the three of them are loyal to Brian!

Author's Response:

Lindsay doesn't have much success against the Taylors or Alice who are all very loyal to Brian.  Happy you enjoyed the latest chapter.  Bill

Reviewer: Carol (Anonymous) · Date: October 10, 2014 10:33 PM · On: Chapter 48

Yay!! A new chapter! I can't wait to see how Hal gets handled.



Author's Response:

Poor Hal, everyone seems to be anxious to see him go down.  I don't think you will be disappointed.  Sorry to make you wait so long for the new chapter. Bill

Reviewer: Shf1210 (Anonymous) · Date: October 10, 2014 10:28 PM · On: Chapter 48

Great chapter but the time between SUCKED. I hope Hal has to quit and gets nothing that would be so grat wonder if Greg qualifies for Hal's job. Lindsay is still an idiot I worry about when she starts at the gallery. jealous Brian is always so cute. I hope the next part comes really soon need to see Claire mess up again and get fired.



Author's Response:

Sorry about the long wait for an update.  I hate when authors do that to stories I enjoy.  You are reading my mind a little on the Hal situation.  I think Lundsay at the Gallery will be interesting.  Thanks for reading and reviewing.  Bill

Reviewer: vlsope2@yahoo.com (Anonymous) · Date: October 02, 2014 06:16 AM · On: Chapter 47

I love this story and am so ready for some more chapters. Gus is written as such a sweet child and his treatment of Kevin so understanding and gentle. Lindsey could learn a lot from her son as well as John and Peter. thank goodness Mrs Simpson and Grandmom Jen have Brians and Justin's back. Claire is hitting bottom and Joan is no help to anyone , like Claire and Lindsey she wants everything her way, the three need a wake up call. I think Mel's trying to co operate.1111



Author's Response:

I have been traveling and visiting with a friend so not much time for writing. Really glad you are enjoying the story and there will be more chapters.  There is one partially written on my flight from west coast. Hopefully I can finish that on my flight back on Saturday. More bad news to come from Claire and her buddy Tino.  Thanks for your nice comments and I pormise a new chapter is coming!!  Bill

Reviewer: julia005 (Anonymous) · Date: September 20, 2014 01:41 PM · On: Chapter 47

As always I come along with the lastof comments in the row...;)

I´m a little bit surprised, because I thought, the storyline might follow like that, but you brought up other things, like the Kinnetik - Hal problem. Well that´s what good writers for: Your readers should not get too comfortable!! (hahaha)

Claire is digging her own grave, she even doesn`t need her drug-boyfriend. I´m loosing all hope here....

I like the Gus-Kevin friendship so much. But you gave me some hard time with the zoo trip. You know the 100$- thing...I think parents will learn, love is a relationship-thing not connected with money. And spending 100$ in front of little Kevin and his family, who can´t? I can´t see the fun. It might be humiliating. But don´t take this toooooo serious, I´m just a teacher, who always looks out for underprivileged children!  Spoiling can be contraproductive. Sorry, I had to say this.

I will always be your dedicated reader - promise. You can´t go wrong with that great story! Thanks again.

 

 



Author's Response:

I always look forward to your comments.  I thought it was time to re-visit Hal and the Kinnetik situation, I don't like to leave loose ends.  Claire will continue to have some probalmes for at least awhile.  The $100, to me, goes more to Brian's hangups from his rotten childghood. Brian wants to indulge Gus to make sure he has happy cildhood memories that he never had.  I don't think Kevin is underprovledged - his brother does go to an expensive private school.  If Brian or Justin thougth Kevin would feel left out they woild have sent $100 for him too.

I really, truly enjoy when reviews question thing in the story.  Makes me look at things a different way or let's me explain why I wrote something.  Never worry about hurting my feeling it is good to know how readers feel.  Not quite as many reviews as usual for this chapters so I think there are readers that agree with you there were things they didn't like.  Thanks, my friend, for always giving such great comment in your reviews.  Bill

Reviewer: BkJt (Anonymous) · Date: September 16, 2014 10:38 PM · On: Chapter 47

Loving the story. Everything going too smoothly for Brian and Justin. how about spice it up with a little drama? maybe one of them gets hurt and the other shows care etc.. just a suggestion. i m really liking the story and the way you write it. any idea how long this story will be? keep up the good work.



Author's Response:

Maybe a little drama but mine is an angst free story, I'll think about it.  I don't have any clear idea of an ending.  In fact I have ideas for lots more chapters.  I guess when reviews drop off or people start saying the story is dull I will know when to stop.  Thanks for the nice comments, they are what keeps me adding new chapters.  Bill

Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: September 16, 2014 10:00 PM · On: Chapter 47

Another great update, Bill!  I liked that last part about Molly asking her brother about Mark's 'assets' - LOL!  As always, I enjoy all the little details you put into this story. Thank you for posting it, Bill. I'll be looking forward to more.  *Hugs*  ~Kim

Hmmm...Craig is up to something, I can't put my finger on it but I have a very overwhelming sense of foreshadowing here...let's see if I'm right.

Author's Response:

Craig doesn't have much to cause trouble with but we'll see what happens.  Bill

Glad you are still enjoying the story.  My roses are blooming like crazy,  some of the other plants are slowing down now with fall approaching.  Thanks for asking.  Bill

Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: September 16, 2014 05:03 PM · On: Chapter 47

This was well worth the wait.  It was chock full of interesting happenings.  John and Peter are both having good times.  Claire, on the other hand, is relying too heavily on Oxy and that could prove a problem.  Gus is being adorable and not acting at all spoilt.  Craig is in for trouble with his company and if Brian ever finds out he's not paying alimony, he could take the company away!  What is going on with Hal?  Is he trying to get fired?  Is he taking Oxy along with Claire?  I was surprised by how well Brian reacted, not firing Hal off the bat and giving him a chance to get his act straight.  Frankly I'm surprised that with all the naked bodies Justin has seen over the years that he was embarressed to be in the shower with a naked Mark.  Haha.  The scene was tastefully done.  I would love to have Alice come live with me.  She thinks ahead and has everything ready before you can ask her.  A really enjoyable chapter.



Author's Response:

Glad you enjoyed the latest chapter my friend.  Always happy to know you are still reading and enjoying the story.  I think Alice is happy running Brian and Justin's life, she knows she is the queen of her domain.  I think cavorting in the back room at Babylon and washing your sister's boy friend are two very different things.  Thanks for all the nice comments.  Bill

Reviewer: Anonymous (Anonymous) · Date: September 16, 2014 02:55 PM · On: Chapter 47

Loved it!  Alice is definitely the boss!  Funny ending to this chapter.  I anxiously await your updates.

Alice is firm on what she thinks should happen but it all comes from love.  Thanks for the review, I appreciate it! 

Reviewer: shf1210 (Anonymous) · Date: September 16, 2014 11:57 AM · On: Chapter 47

Massive withdrawal.  I missed this. Wow not sure how Hal is not already fired. And Mark and Justin way to funny also kind of shocked Lindsay did not hang around to meet Kevin. Kind of worried how that will go at dinner thinking it could be bad.  I get how indulgent Brian is with Gus in gift shops I did it myself this past summer with my niece their happiness makes it worth it .



Author's Response:

Sorry to make you wait so long for the update.  Glad you enjoying it.  Brian is pretty indulgent with everyone he cares about.  Thanks for the nice review.  Bill

this story just gets better and better. Good for Claire. I almost wish I hadn't started reading until it was done. I get so impatient for the next chapter. I love when you write about Gus.

Reviewer: DavidR (Signed) · Date: September 02, 2014 02:24 AM · On: Chapter 46

       Lindsay has become more and more of a problem.  I like


the way John stood up to her.  He has turned out to be a


special young man.  I see that anger, jealousy, and resentment


are a big part of every conversation with her.  I understand


that she wants everything the Justin has, but she is not going


to have it.  I don’t see anything wrong with a little jealousy and


resentment, but she has taken that to its extreme.   Also, I


don’t see any appreciation for what Brian and Justin have


done for her and Melanie.  I can see a real blow up coming. 


 Sadly, that will affect everyone badly. 


     Thanks for the last few chapters.


DavidR



Author's Response:

Lindsay does have lots of issues that she seems anxious to share with those around her.  Appreciation doesn't seem to be a big item for her.  Thanks for the comments and reading my story.  I hope you continue to enjoy it.  Bill

Author's Response:

Thanks for being tenacious.  I have passed your comments to the site admin, in the past, but I'm not sure we can control that.  I am guessing you enjoyed the latest chapter, at least I hope so.  Bill
