Do I have it wrong or didn’t Brian have a broken collar bone during the Liberty Ride? Therefore he would know how it would be treated.

Michael and Marilu - now there's a pair to remember in one chapter.

Reviewer: eureka1 (Signed) · Date: April 24, 2016 07:28 AM · On: Chapter 8
I suspect Michael's woes aren't over--and they shouldn't be. Good for Deb for finally saying "no" to Michael and looking out for herself. I can't imagine Ben's going to be happy when he finds out why Michael needed to withdraw so much money from their account. If Michael's unwilling to sell any of his valuables, there's no way he'll be able to rent another storefront. He's seriously deluded if he thinks Brian (and Justin) are going to lend him money, much less give to him.
Good for Brian for making Marilu sweat. The parish may be revising their optinion of St. Joan if they have to put up with her all day, every day. It would serve them right.
I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks again for this wonderful story.

Author's Response: I'm sure you are correct about Michael, more woes to come. I think Brian and Justin's generousity made her realize her son should be helping her not vice versa. Hard to predict how valuable Mikey's collectables are and how much is his wishful thinking. B&J have enough outlays of money they are not looking for more.Marilu got a good lesson in the world being round, what goes around, comes around. I think Brian was being sarcastic bout how Joan is viewed at Good Shepherd. Thanks Karynn for all the reviews, you know I love to read them. I am happy to know you are still enjoying the story!!!!

Hi Sweet B., I really enjoyed this update and am eager for the next update when Brian and Justin inform dear Joan of how her healing and caregivers will effect her life in the near future, wait till she finds out about adult day care! No wonder Justin was laughing at the renewed "friendship" of Brian and Marilu, talk about Karma. mikey never changes, it is always about him, and how his mother needs to pay his bills or Brian being a patsy for his money needs. It would make my day if the credit union called Ben and he stopped payment on the cashiers check meant for rent on mikey's store. I was suprised Deb refused to help mikey, a first for her to grow a backbone where her son is concerned. Like your prevous story and each chapter in this one, you hold our interest and you make the charactors come alive, you have a talent for this and I'm thrilled you share. Your loving Sally
Author's Response: Darling Sally, always makes me happy to see your comments!!! So you don't think Joan will be thrilled with the arrangements that Brian & Justin have made. That is surprising Joan always seems so willing to compromise and go with the flow but maybe you are correct. We'll see what happens in the next chapter. Justin was laughing and I imagine Marilu was crying on the inside. I think maybe B&J paying off her mortgage opened Debbie's eyes a little to the fact that people grow up and help other people they don't always rely on other people to solve their problems like Michael does. I don't think Ben will be too understanding when he finds out what Mikey has done. Ben may not be too Zen. Thanks for the nice comments!! I love hearing from the readers and that is what keeps me writing the story. I really appreciate all your support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your sweet Baboo

Now Marilu and Joan totally deserve each other.....hope they make each other's life hell...... Michael, Michael, Michael - can't wait until Ben finds out - I wonder if he'll lose his 'cool' - would definitely like to see that. Really enjoying Ted's friendship and loyalty to the boys and very happy to see that Debbie is standing up to Michael - about time. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Author's Response: I think both of them having to deal with snarky Brian may be punishment enough for them. I think there is a pretty good chance of Ben losing his cool!!! I think Debbie's other "sons" easing her financial burden may have opened her eyes a little to Mikey's shortcomings and need to grow up and stand on his own two feet. Thanks for taking time to review!!!!!!!!!!! Bill

I can't wait until Ben finds out Mikey withdrew all of that money!
Author's Response: I don't think Ben will be very understanding about what his husband did! Thanks for the review!!!!!! Bill
Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: April 22, 2016 01:20 PM · On: Chapter 8
That Michael is something else...I don't think Ben is going to be too thrilled about what he has done. Meanwhile, Joan is probably going to raise all kinds of hell about her new situation...can't wait to see what happens next
Author's Response: I thik Ben will be less then thrilled about Michael's use of the money. Joan is not a happy person and I think the current situation will NOT make her any happier or easier to be around. Brian will need Justin's calming influence. Thanks for reviewing!!!! Bill

Wow 3 in a month and I did not expect this one until next week if it happened at all. So thank you make me almost want to ask for a fourth but I will just be happy with 3. I don't see Joan dealing very well with a stranger helping her out. And my obvious and only complaint with this chapter way too much Mikey and Ben is going to kill him or if he is smart sell Michael's toys to get back the money my bet is that money was for something and not to get Michael's rent paid. Kind of hope Ben just leaves and first he takes Michael of the account. I like the present Ted, Blake and Emmett are getting Deb it's a great idea. I wonder what the boys will think when Brian and Justin tell them about Joan. I loved how Justin kept up a stream of calming babble because he knew that Brian just needed to know he was there and that was the best way. Can't wait for more thanks again for the 3
Author's Response: I am glad not to have disappointed you. I believe you are correct about Joanie but what will the solution be??? Ben kills Mikey - that would be an interesting plot twist. I'll have to think about that. He could sell all the "collectables" for his defense fund. You are right about the money in the joint account having a purpose - like paying the house bills. New stove, new counters and door fronts, Debbie will be in heaven. I think John & Peter actually love their grandmother and will be concerned about her. She has been a big part of their lives even if it wasn't always a purely pleasant part. Glad you enjoyed at least part of thei chapter. Alway look forward to reading your comments!!!! Thanks for the review!!!!!!!!!!!! Bill

Apparently Joan thinks she has hid her drinking.
Michael is an ass and needs to grow up. I'm glad Deb refused to help him.
Something seems off about Michael getting that money so easily.
Marilu deserves whatever Brian put her through, bitch.
Great chapter.
Lorie
Author's Response: Hi Lorie, Joan lives in her own world where everything makes sense to her but no one else. Deb finally seems to be wising up. I don't think Mikey will think it was so easy to get his rent money when Ben finds out what he did!!! Thanks for taking time to review, you know I love to get them!!!!!! Bill
Reviewer: Blossomlegs (Signed) · Date: April 22, 2016 03:13 AM · On: Chapter 8
This was a fun read, especially of Justin and Brian over Joanie.
Can't wait to hear of Ben takes to Mikey wiping out their joint bank account, hope Ben gains some sense.
Love how Ted stood up to Mikey, he is such a "shite".
Love how you brought back Marilu, and Brian remembering her.
Fantastic update, thanks for sharing!
Always your fan, JoAnn
Author's Response: Hi JoAnn, happy to know you enjoyed this chapter. I don't think Ben will be thrilled to have his money (mostly) not only paying household expenses but also the rent on Mikey's store. Ted has gotten much more sure of himself. And Marilu remembered Brian!!!! Thanks for the review!!!!!!!!!! Bill
Reviewer: sophie'smom (Anonymous) · Date: April 22, 2016 01:52 AM · On: Chapter 8
Joan can go in to assisted living. Still independent, but still have someone there if needed. Meals included. For a minute I thought Marilu e going to suggest Brian have her move in with them. What is she going to do in adult care but complain?
Michael. Well he'll have time to sell his valuable items, but will he be able to keep his marriage together after Ben finds out that the money is missing? He should've talked to Ben first before even going to Kinnetik. What an idiot.
Author's Response: Something tells me that Joan is not going into assitant living willingly. Of course I don't see her really enjoying home care either. I foresee issues with Joanie!! I think Marilu was too intimidated by Brian to make too many suggestions. I agree he should have talked to Ben!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the review!! Glad you enjoyed the latest update. Bill
Reviewer: emac66 (Signed) · Date: April 21, 2016 10:46 PM · On: Chapter 8
LOL!! I had to laugh when the Social Services rep was none other than Marilu! funny that you brought her back in. Perhaps with all this she'll figure out exactly what type of person Joan really is! And when Brian told her that many in the parish considered her a saint...bwahaha! You must've been chuckling yourselfwhen you wrote that.
Micheal....well we all keep saying that Micheal is just micheal, but really....he's gone completely over the top now! He has this sense of entitlement that is terrible. Between you me and the lampost...that is one of my pet peeves i people. when they think they deserve things, or opportunities or even forgiveness. Drives me insane!!
The way he treats people is deplorable, yet he expects then to help him. He insinuated once again that ted may not be trustworthy, yet turns around an hour later asking for a hand out. (via Brian) and still insults him. Ugh...
And poor Deb! I mean really...how pathetic is this man. running to mommy for help! Buying more bloody toys, then draining his and Ben's joint account. I think somehow that in particualr will turn around and bite him in the ass!
Once again, I'm here with verbal diahhrea. Sorry.
Excellent chapter. It went by so quickly!
cheers
Elaine
Author's Response: Hi Elaine, always happy to see your comments. I did chuckle about Brian's description of his mother. Michael seems to be doing his best to alienate everyone in his life. I don't think Ben will be very understanding when he finds out Mikey hit the joint accoint for his store rent. Glad you enjoyed the latest chapter. Thanks for all your support, I lOVE reviews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bill
Reviewer: mamaduck (Signed) · Date: April 21, 2016 10:07 PM · On: Chapter 8
I take it that Ben is going to hit the roof when he finds out Michael drained the bank account.
I love that Emmett and Ted are going to gift a facelift to Debbie's kitchen.
Sandy
Author's Response: Ben may go right through the roof when he finds out what Michael has done. I think Debbie will be delighted to have a "new" kitchen. Thanks for the review!!! Bill
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: April 21, 2016 10:00 PM · On: Chapter 8
Happy, happy, happy. I love your story and this chapter gave us a lot. It's nice that B&J are paying off Deb's mortgage. She deserves not having to work so hard. Joanie - while we didn't get to see much of her, she figured prominantly. She's still got her nose in the air, not wanting people to know about her drinking habits. After all the work Marilu went to getting Joanie set for recuperation, do you think Joanie will appreciate it? Then you threw Mikey at us. The nerve of him asking his mother for money, for staying home instead of opening the store just so he could by more toys! First he tries to get Brian to 'loan' him money by going through Ted. Fortunately Ted has more sense. I wonder what will happen when Ben finds out he withdrew the money from their joint account? Things do not bode well for Mikey. Your story makes me very happy!!!!
Author's Response: Hello my friend, I do not see Joanie being happy about anything that is being done for her. I have a suspicion it is not all going to work out as planned. Mikey is spreading happiness and joy where ever he goes. I am thinking Ben is going to be less than pleased about the outlay of cash from their "joint" account. Thanks for the nice review, always glad to hear from you!!!! Bill
