Great take on Deb here. She's really taken to heart the reality check re: Michael. she's not foever looking out for his best interest, but those that are being effected by him. Good on her! Her concern for Tracey is right on the money and that needs to be nipped in the bud quickly! while Brian's comments were very much "old Brian" he does in a way still need to keep up appearances I guess. Still needs to show himself as a little bit of a, asshole. :) The change would be too drastic otherwise. Shame he can't just leave Michael to become Mr. Straight, but....those kinds of changes are far too big and would have drastic measures on B&J as well as those around them. No Jenny, perhaps no Kira...just to name a few.
Brian...ever the salesman. :) Laying it on that's for sure, but from David's perspective, could be totally believable. Will Brian have to be the complete asshole at the party though so that tracey sees things for what they are? If so, at least this time Brian will have the support of others rather than them being pissed. that may just be the shove Michael needs to go off with David. with everyone supporting Brian being a jerk, and none of them listening to Michael's whines, he may just leave thinking that the others will see what they are missing when he's gone. (BAHAHAHA) ahem...sorry.
Jen will be the perfect "nanny" for Gus. She's done such a wonderful job raising Justin and Molly, she's the perfect "fill-in" mom for Gus. A terrific example and she will honestly love him as a grandson. While I completely understand Mel's misgivings at first, Jen is a stranger, and she initially would question Jen's motives for letting Justin go, but she did it with his best interest at heart. She has the unanimous agreement from Brian and Justin. PLUS she see's how she raised Justin.
looking forward to today's update as always. :)
Cheers,
Elaine

I hadn't realized it but Mikey is overly clingy and he seems to think that Brian should drop everything to do his bidding. Brian never once said he'd pick him up. This Mikey is more likely to get fired that to get a promotion and it won't be because he's gay. Sheese.

While I have every intention of re-reviewing previous chapters, I want to keep up with current ones. I think that's just as if not more important. Perhaps I can pay more attention to my spelling and such in my rewrites! lol. I tend to do them so quickly that my fingers go faster than my brain. I need to slow down a bit an pay attention. Otherwise it just looks sloppy. shame this comment area doesn't have spell check. Anyway......... ;)
Marilyn covered nicely. Daphne however wasn't fooled for a minute. Sharp as a tack that one. Her reation to the actual truth was funny though. I can just see her trouncing out with "Whatever...." coming out of her mouth. Will she be forced to believe the truth eventually? Hmmmm.
While the convo between Ted and Jen was natural and all, I could just imagine Ted's, or any male's reaction to Jen's breastfeeding comment. LOL! nice touch there.
HEY!! I'm a bank teller! One thatwill happily help screw over Craig. Hmmmm amazing how well you know me after such a short period of time. ;) HAHAH! 4% bucks per account. I can't wait to hear about Craig's reaction to that. At least it's for the kid's. Is the full amount there or has he been dipping into it?
Justin and Emmett together is always a good time. Emmett gets to see his future honey, and knows now that he's going to have to make Drew work for it. He w on't be a push over this time, waiting in the wings for the guy to grow up. Nope. Emmett knows he deserves more than that.
Whew..glad justin laid it out to Ben that he has a boyfriend. I can totally see Ben being attracted to Justin. They seen a much better match than Ben and Michael. I remember Ben noticing him at Babylon that one night. I guess he thought he'd found his opportunity. He gracefully backed off at least.
Terrific chapter. Off to read the next one.

Love the meeting with Mysterious Marilyn. Brian isn't dissing her like he normally would have. Knowing that Lindsay is a returned Lindsay, I can look for signs of it now. If this is a rerun Mikey, he obviously didn't learn anything from his past life. Living through Brian is going to mess with him big time.

Even though I know that Brian and Justin get together watching Mikey try to convince Brian that he doesn't do blonds is just ecky. Michael ordering Brian around as if he owns him is funny. He insists Brian go into the store, which was a good thing, because Brian got to be up close and personal with Justin, and then getting angry because Brian behaved, well, like Brian makes me want to shake my head.

Sorry you lost your post, but I have to say I'm happy to reread this. Love that Justin was there at the end for Brian even if Mikey couldn't see him. Waking up to Mikey in his bed must have made Brian want to throw up. It made me want to. Knowing what happens in later chapters has everything making sense. It's nice that this Brian is being nice to Ted and Emmett.

Great update. Like all the little changes.
thanks for sharing!

Brian is being honest with Justin. good for him. Thankfully he no longer needs to hide behind those walls of his. Even though this isn't "his Justin", he still wants this Justin to be happy adn content. He really doesn't know when the other one will return to him.
Still have to giggle over Brian's interaction with Emmett. a hot and bothered Emmett is pretty funny, especially considering he thought that brian had no power over him. hehe. Poor boy needs to go get laid now. :) Emmett really is the perfect one to be the trustee for the policy. He would see right through any shinanigans the girls (Lindsey) may attempt. Good on him for walking away from the bitch fest that is most assuredly going on in the diner. Ted needs to get a life and stop sucking up to Michael. He's like Michael holdign onto Brian. Never gonna happen. (OH gawd,,,,could you imagine?!?! EEeeeeeeeeeeeew yuck! I seriously need to get that picture out of my head now *shivers* )

Fuck me....that whole insurance thing drove me nuts in the show! It's what really made me begin to question them, and semi dislike them. Thankfully Brian is on to their games and called them on it. He's not going to put up with their shit since he sees them for who they really are, and their motivations. Entitlement, selfishness and greed.
Lindsey's little blow up is sure to make mel wonder even more than she already is. Teling brian that Justin isn't moving in?! Really?!? Pretty nervy if you ask me adn then just trounces away. She and Michael both are petulant children.
LOL...Michael telling Brian that "he'll handle the kid" I think Brian will prefer to do his own style of handling. :) At least Justin didn't listen and still went over to the loft.
cheers,
Elaine

Am starting here if you don't mind.
I realize it's going to be difficult to give an anaysis on each chapter, especially when I know what going to happen. lol. Like, I'm reading about Vic, Justin's adn Kira's exchange, and my hackles go up knowing what's coming up re: Vic. (I know he's innocent, but for a bit there we all thought the worst. :) )
I have to laugh at Marilyn's constant phone calls. she must have him on speed dial. LOL.
Michael's constant need to keep tabs on Brian is infuriating! any excuse to entwine himself around him. the fact that Brian was right there during Emmett's convo with Michael was pretty funny. And Brian's reasonings for giving the key to Emmett is right on the money.
Cheers,
Elaine
