Bruin Fisher Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Oh my... a Cole Parker tour-de-force. Wonderful writing, enthralling. I can't wait for the next episode. I can't wait for all of the rest of the story... Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Thanks, guys. Much more to come. C Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 And . . . we circle back to chapters 1 and 2. Really nice to see Peter ending up in a more suitable situation. I never knew meth had that property. R Link to comment
Merkin Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 No new characters! Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Wonder if an old abandoned mill could be used for-cooking meth? R Link to comment
JamesSavik Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Parrish and Peter are really cute together. Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Ah, I could so picture the library scene, and especially visualize the quasi-deserted upstairs stacks areas. I lived near a University library like that when I was in high school, and the stacks went up five or six stories of dimly lit metal shelving and stairs. I sometimes found myself skulking up to a remote corner of the stacks where they kept the books on homosexuality. Nobody went there, and nobody wanted to be seen going there, in the mid-1960s. Anyway, a fun new twist in this story. R Link to comment
JamesSavik Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I obviously went to the wrong libraries. And yes- Cole is right about meth. It's very difficult to kick and has nasty side effects like destroying your teeth, decalcifying your bones and causing organ failures. We've even seen teens and young adults with heart attacks. A lot of people see it as a party drug and a few years later wonder why they ever touched the horrible stuff. Thank Odin it wasn't common when I was using. Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 When I was in high school, the worst drugs were coffee and rarely, tobacco. However, I can vouch for either of the two alcoves in the school library, small though they were, they seemed to give just enough room for blowing intimacy. Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Ack! Two more new characters! R Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 There'll be a quiz later. Just testing your concentration. C Link to comment
JamesSavik Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 A private detective following kids around taking pictures? If I were the judge, that would tell me interesting things about Jack's dad. Link to comment
Merkin Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 There'll be a quiz later. Just testing your concentration. C I wasn't kidding when I said I was making a chart for the characters. Actually, with my memory, I make notes every day telling me whether its AM or PM. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I have hard time remembering if I took my pills or not. Ten minutes after taking them! C Link to comment
dude Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 And I forget whether I've taken my insulin shots! Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I generally find that when I question if I took my pills, then I didn't take them. This seems to work for me as I am still not pregnant. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 We're a great group, huh? Someone should contact you, Mike, asking if he can run ads for canes on your site. C Link to comment
Chris James Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 You should see the inserts in the newspaper down here in South Florida for all the medical equipment companies and nursing homes. You know that makes a pile of cash for the news folks...but let's not go there. I came here to say something about Cole's story. I am reading it, not commenting yet, I will wait for the finale. Last time I started off saying things about one of his stories he took it in an entirely new direction almost immediately...I think he did it to vex me. No, I know he has the story complete before he posts and I am sure he has his own list of characters to keep track of all the twists and turns. At this point I am just a reader having fun.

Merkin Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Although it is generally known that Cole completes his stories before he begins to post them, what is less well known is that Cole immediately forgets that he has finished a story and consequently he continuously writes new chapters for any current story. It is a crapshoot which of many alternate chapters Cole will post on any successive week. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 You guys are too funny. Luckily, I have Mike to rely on. He's not as scatterbrained as I am and posts chapters in the correct order on the correct days. Otherwise I'd probably end up like Joseph Heller. Remember Catch-22? I'd swear that he finished that book, then simply shuffled the chapters and published the thing however they end up after the shuffle. The time line was all screwy, adding to the riotous nature of the book. Tat would be me, posting chapters helter-skelter. Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 That would be me, posting chapters helter-skelter. You mean that's not what is already taking place? :-) R Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hah! No, there's scheme behind the madness. C Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Well, Judge Heartfeld is da man! But it seems like there must be another chapter coming. R Link to comment
Merkin Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Betcha somebody's father isn't going to give up easily. Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Good that the three pairs of boys found each other. I can't help thinking there is a big surprise in store concerning the source of the meth. R Link to comment
