The family/money thing was never an issue fur us because, well, we just don't have it. What was more damaging was the drama around every turn.

Thanks again for visiting my neck of ...Hi, b.a.f.!<br /><br />Thanks again for visiting my neck of the woods this morning. I'm glad I didn't miss Part 1 of your new story "Ashes Ashes." I can relate to wanting to move far away from family, both his and hers. Here at "ground zero," Mrs. Shady and I have family members hitting on us to borrow $$$ on a regular basis, and the family drama is neverending. <br /><br />I can picture one of James Spader's demented characters as the male lead in your story. I highly recommend his 1996 psycho thriller film Crash co-starring Holly Hunter, about a group of symphorophiliacs who are sexually aroused by car crashes; and Spader's 2002 erotic black comedy film Secretary starring Maggie Gyllenhaal about a dominant boss and his submissive secretary who engage in various BDSM activities.<br /><br />Yes, when it rains, it pours, and problems do have a way of piling up, I am eager to read Part 2. Have a great week, b.a.f.!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887100141814372022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717459336008985288.post-91742918231977080522021-08-27T07:53:12.982-04:002021-08-27T07:53:12.982-04:00Bathwater, Margaret, Dawn, Mary, Robyn and good ol...Bathwater, Margaret, Dawn, Mary, Robyn and good ol' Mr. Shife: This self confidence-lacking blogger thanks you all for your very kind and extremely affirming comments.
