I definitely think Amanda is gonna get the baby brother she so desperately craves.

Such a good few chapters showing the issues Katherine is having, but it all feels like she is on the precipice and waiting to fall into Katie. But I am intrigued to see how we get there.
-
Oh boy, the train is rushing down the tracks now.
I meant to ask where these last two chapters coincided with LCW? I know I read the meetup she had with the kids where she was warned about the milk, but I don't remember which chapter it was.
-
Did enjoy this cute story. I hope to see more, and the finish to a couple? Pretty please with lots and lots of sprinkles?

She thought that Erica spiked the milk to make her drowsy, but if it is her breastmilk, most of the times we've seen littles drink breastmilk, they get tired very quickly...
Just seems to be that is yet another strike for "Katie"...

I'll post the next chapter sometime Sunday!
You mean I have to actually wait until tomorrow?! That's not fair!! *throws a tantrum* LOL
-
Oh my, I am intrigued by this as I always wondered how she ends up as we see her in LCW.
-
Boo! Patience isn't fair!
Seriously, it was a good chapter, though totally expected that something would go wrong. Interesting to see what will happen next.

I'm trying to make up my mind on Charlotte. I mean, she comes across well, but she is also someone who could seriously cause major issues without a second thought.
But thank you for the bonus chapter. Interested to see how the filming goes, since film is a passion of mine (in this dimension at least lol).

I hate to disagree with Elfy but I live in Minnesota, and my grandson goes to a high school in our district that does tolerate a kid who believes he is a cat, to the point that they have installed a litter box in a space just for that kid to use.
Keep in mind, this is Mn, not the rest of the US that has allowed this to happen, and by that I mean to say the school administration and the parents! I do not blame the kid as much as his responsible elders as trust me, kids will push as far as they are allowed to making a point!
I will add that we have a school board election coming up in a few weeks and I for one am voting for some overall changes, I hope the majority of the community feels the same way but we will soon find that out!
What school would this be at? I would like to check into the facts, because all the fact checking I've seen (including from the state level in MN) says that there is no school anywhere in the state that this actually happens. If it does actually happen, I would love to know the name of the school because I'm sure it would be all over the news and confirmed as fact.

Was this finished? Just was wondering...

Hi there! I am around that area regularly, though I don't actively participate in much outside things.

I'm trying to decide how I feel about Mackenzie. I do find it interesting that she mentions her aunt was a student at the same time as Connor's mom.

Having been in the military myself, I doubt a couple of MPs could have inspired as much awe from a Lieutenant, unless they had a captain among them, in charge, or someone of higher status. MPs are really just another unit of the military, and they are not special except when they carry out specific parts of their mission, which basically makes them like police to civilians.
I would suggest, next time you write the MP in this manner, if you mean to intimidate the lieutenant, and Sergeant Major isn't going to do it. You need an officer higher in status than a lieutenant.
Sergeant major is like an E-7? Lieutenant is an 0-1 or 0-2. The Sergeant major will have more years and experience in, but the Lieutenant's status is higher. The Lieutenant could bark orders from the MPs and ask what the hell is going on... so just a note for future references to the military for you.
The story looks like it's headed to something like the Amazon route... where the MPs and that woman might be care takers for some little boys playing army very soon, if your posting on this site means anything!
I like the idea!
Yes, and no.
Lieutenant is the first rank of an officer, but it has higher status than Enlisted ranks, at least in the United States. Some people can work up to Lieutenant by an Enlisted working specifically to become an officer. It is possible, thought not as easy as joining commissioned to begin with.
The Sergeant Major would not have talked to the Lieutenant the way he did in the story, in real life, unless the Lieutenant broke military code or the law, which he then would no longer be a Lieutenant if already found guilty of that.
That's why I gave some suggestions for "next time" if the writer plans on doing military stories again.
I would disagree in general. Sergeant Majors are normally E-10s and have well over a decade of experience and are generally the cream of the crop of enlisted personnel, at least from my experience dealing with some in my past. And they typically carried more weight than a newbie lieutenant would (as the saying went in WW2 for instance, the real leaders of the units were the senior noncoms, more than the officers). I mean, just look at Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Regiment during WW2 if you want an example of that historically.
The story is intriguing, interested to see where it goes.

Young whipper snappers!!!! Definitely a Monty Python reference! If you haven't seen Search for the Holy Grail you need to go educate yourself. ?
Indeed! ?
One of my pals at Halloween Haunt would do that whole speech about the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch while he was stalking people in the dark in our maze...

Oh my! Five DOZEN people? Wonder how that is going to affect things for Aubry going forward. And I am of two minds about Cam...one I want to see him win and be an adult again, but the other I want to see her be a sweet toddler girl with her mommy.
Hard to choose which one is better.-

Well, over the last 15 years, I had lots of "jenglish" (japanese english) to read in customer specs and conversation with customers. My mind got a lot of times so twisted on a single sentence there, after 3 times reading it, I had to go for a smoke to untwist my mind and synapses and start over with it. I sometimes took the original japanese stuff in the Google translator to see, if it makes more sense, than what they actually wrote ?
Compared to the 7 years of Russian in school in East Germany in the 80's, and just about 4 years of English, the best thing for me was the 1 year in the U.S. on exchange in the 90's after the german reunion. Later, I even did my diploma thesis in English, instead of German, at least it saved me to tackle with the "German Spelling Reformation".
Interestingly, I had an 'exchange sister' from Chemnitz when I was a little one for real and an 'exchange brother' from Eibenstock too...

I'm not familiar with the US court system, but I do know that the South was not so good for black people (well, it still isn't everywhere). But I just assume that the system in DD is not as broken as the US justice system.
I understand your approach. I still think that the judge is more on Cameron's side just in terms of the evidence.
And let's face it, Cameron was stripped of his maturity because he got into an argument with the judge.
That would be as if you argue with your employer and he fires you because he thinks your opinion is stupid, well I don't know how it is in the U.S. in Germany there is a protection against fire that means you have to have really screwed up to be fired, otherwise you can sue and would, to stay with the example of discussion, get right and your boss would have to hire you again.
Also, the rules of maturity do not apply to Cameron as a Mid as they would to a Little.
That means his conviction was illegal from the beginning.
There should have been a completely different procedure.I just hope Sofia won't make us wait too long. Oh well, I guess she'll tease us again with the next 2 chapters before we know the judgment.
I work for a German company here in the US (and in a right-to-work state on top of that) and it can be confusing. Essentially, throughout most of the US, you can be fired for any reason and have no way to contest it truthfully because of the right-to-work laws.
That being said, the US justice system is flawed but has a tendency to in some way self-correct at times. It just takes a while in certain locations because they want to maintain the status quo. Which is why I can definitely see the judge in this case waiting for some of the circus to die down before he puts out his verdict...while we aren't as stodgy as the English (who still wear wigs in court or did last I checked), the dinosaurs still want to maintain things a certain way. -
Wow! This chapter is...well, I am having trouble sitting still. I am not sure I want to try and guess where things are going because things have been veering away from what I think every time I try.
-
You mean we have to wait all day too??? Bah, you're a meany head!
-
Yay! So happy to see a new chapter. Please don't be gone so long again!
-
Wow! Talk about some close calls. I can certainly see a 'Dred Scott' decision coming soon though...
-
I keep re-reading the parts posted so far and just looking forward to seeing if my thoughts will be borne out in the next chapter...but I love this story so far so I hope to see it continue as soon as the author is able to.

Or here we did algebra 1&2 in junior high.*shrugs*
Here, I did AP Algebra II as a junior in high school before doing Calculus. But I hated math with a passion after I finished up with Geometry.
