I'm so glad that Mel spoke up... no money no authority Michael! what an ass... he wasn't to have a role, but let everyone else pay for it... he just annoys me so much
I kind of want Jenny to see that he is still a dick, not the hero he pretended to be
Lindsay will just never learn... I can't wait to see her get put in her place!
Author's Response:
Ah if he raises your annoyance so much then I'm writing him perfectly. Poor Jenny she had such high hopes...
Of couse she'll never learn because she doesnt' see Zee as an adversary, just some woman who got lucky...stupid, very stupid.

Zee's at the end of her rope and Lindsay has no idea just how lucky she is to have escaped being taken down. Poor Emmett had a scare there, fortunately Zee loves Emmett which is more than I can say for some of Brian's friends, and we know who I mean. Lindz and Michael are out of their league.
Now Michael is also out of his league with Jenny. She's figured out how to do a end run around him, Plus she has Mel and Ben supporting her.
Gus and Lindsay are close to having it out soon. She's pushing the parent card a bit too much and she'll end up losing him if she's not careful. Will Mel wise up anytime soon and toss Lindz aside?
What is up with Michael and his evil mind. Just because David was getting a massage? Oops, he doesn't know that's what was going on. Whatever he thinks will come back to bite him I'm sure. lol.
Boy, Hunter making a sell and earning a hefty commission is something that is sure to chap Lindsay's ass. Especially when Martine also gets one for a sale at Sydney's gallary. She's going to need to actually do her job in order to earn a commision.
Michael and Lindsay seem to have a thing about keys or is it the fact they don't have any. Can you imagine them showing up when the mood suited them rather than waiting to be invited. They don't have a clue.
Michael's also under the impression he can have a say in what Jenny does but doesn't need to pay support. Glad Mel put the Kabosh to that. Love how Ben let slip about Hunter's commission and where he's taking Ben and Steve to eat. Good think Mikey had already left. Can you imagine the whining.
Now what is you have planned for the Fienman Gallery? You really got my interest with that.
All in all a wonderful chapter leaving us wanting more.
Author's Response:
Ah yes the dumbass twins and their delusions.

I was not expecting Hunter's birth mother to show but I am not surprised Michael did it to hurt Hunter and try to look like a hero so everyone will help him and he can believe that everything will go back to the way it was before. (Thankfully everyone isn't as stupid as Michael hopes they are)
Lindsay pouting because no one is paying any attention to her (Still?) and her normal machinations aren't working, I hope Sydney flaunted Hunter's achievement every chance he got just to make her grind her teeth.
It seems that crown Lindsay adorned herself with is going to be use to suffocate the glorified entitlement out of her.
I guess she must enjoy getting smacked down because she just keeps opening her mouth and making an Ass out of herself, you don't tell Faal and Zee what to do in Their Home when you don't even have the right to grace it without their permission.
She is trying to alienate Matt in his home then she goes over to the Treehouse for a Messy Fest trying to flaunt herself yet again, that Lady of the Manor Crown only works when it's your manor and you have earned the right to wear it.
She is lucky Brian was holding Justin back or he would have been ripping out that lovely hair she enjoys flipping so much whenever she is trying to act superior, forcing her to admit to the lie doesn't change the fact that she shouldn't have said it to Gus in the first place.
Unless Brian is drunk out of his mind he wouldn't go near that smelly diseased harpy again and not even if he was passed out drunk.
She just keeps burying herself under more lies pretty soon she won't have a way to dig out anymore.
I don't trust Michael being okay about Jenny dating Hank Cameron just like I don't trust Lindsay, those two are going to try to break them up sooner or later.
There must be a show down on the horizon gotta know what the paperwork says and what Uncle Luc finds out about these two brats.
I am Breathlessly Anticipating What Is Going to Happen Next:)
Author's Response:
I have no idea where I pulled her from but I can assure you that not only will she not be back but Michael does really think that people bought his "Captain Astro flies to the rescue" routine.
Lindsay's constant underestimationn of Zee because she's not reacting to what she's doing outwardly, is going to bite her in her saggy ass hard. She still doesn't 'know' who Zee is and what she's capable of, nor that as far as she is concerned Hunter is her boy!
Of course Michael's not happy with Jenny dating Hank but he wants in...and sees no harm in playing nice for now.
The showdown won't come for a few more chapters...evil cackle...but when it comes it will be a doozie!

Deb had better stick to her guns and not help Michael!! she will be in teh dog house in a major way if she does. Michael seems to think she needs to help her "child" however, he seems to have forgotten that he's a freaking adult and no longer a child. At least not in a chronological sense. Maturity wise, we all know he's still 14.
Ben's feeling of dread is obviously spot on. Hopefully people figure out exactly what Michael really did. He in no way shape of form redeemed himself and they should all be aware. Oh I hope he doesn't get away with it for too long. Perhaps just long enough to start redeeming himself a bit more then BANG! He can drop once again only it can be a much higher drop. (I'm a bit of a bitch aren't I?? lol)
What's happening on Thursday????
HA! No one fell for Lindsey's BS about how Gus was really conceived. The truth will cone out eventually to Gus and he'll once again be faced with what his mother is really like.
Finally get what the "tell" was. I'll have to pay more attention in the future. That was bugging me. LOL.
EXCELLENT chapter!!

Ooh Elaine you and I are of the same mind...he wheedles his way in of course but the cards are stacked against him but he doesn't know it yet.
As for Lindsay she gets worse on poor Gus, much, much worse.
Sorry about the 'tell' I had meant to put in an explanation in the chapter notes but in my enthusiasm to get on to the next ones I forgot. It's a poker term, and poker comes to play in a way nobody expects.
Thursday...hmm...you'll have to read C20 to find out...

I'm not sure how Mikey managed to get away with calling Rita and sicing her on Hunter, but it appears he did. Lindsay seems to have gotten away with telling Gus he was concieved the natural way. Of course they could always ask Gus to repeat what she said word for word. Other then that we had a lovely Messy Feast, with Mikey and Lindsay getting very messy. lol. Justin giving lessons to Zee and Emmett was an interesting turn. The whole chapter was a work of art. Well done.

I see the Gruesome Twosome are spreading the cheer around to everyone I would love to drop them both in shark infested waters but why give those magnificent creatures indigestion?
Michael buying more toys instead of saving his money and paying his debts is just so him, Mel is going to have to nip it in the bud before Michael tries to prevent Ben from seeing Jenny, or wait for him to try to put his foot down again to Jenny and wait for the fireworks to start, Jenny is going to make Michael go fetal and give Lindsay vapors when she tells them off. (Has the paperwork been filed for Ben to adopt Jenny?)
Nothing Mel says to Lindsay is going to compare to what Justin is going to do to her, she crossed a line to get her moment f victory over Emily, deception over Brian, Mel and Gus who thinks he was conceived the old-fashioned way, all her lies are coming out into the open and she has lost her last chance with everyone.
It is time for Lindsay to experience the full weight of vengeance on her head it has to be so bad that even Mommy and Daddy Peterson will walk away from her no soft cushion or safety net for her.
Michael and Lindsay have betrayed Brian for the last time after this there is no going back, he is officially done.
I wonder what Zee and Faal are going to do when they find out, Plus when everyone else finds out too??
Will Uncle Luc's information be the final nail in the coffin for Lindsay and Michael?
This is going to painful but it is needed these two Idiotic, Spoiled, Spiteful, Vindictive, Self-absorbed Brats are not learning there lesson so it is time for them to hit the road.

Oh yes you can always rely on the dimwit dumbasses to do their thang and to hell with everyone else.

Lindsay's inability to see that she's brought about her own disgruntalness is amazing. But then Mikey is in the same mindspace. Sydney seems to be having a lot of fun messing with Lindsay. Lydia is so different from Lindsay in that she makes Hunter feel good about what he's done. She's the kind of boss everyone should have. Loved learning that Ted knew Tobias, it seems like a natural thing. I like how Brian and Justin are looking out for Ben's interest and realizing that Michael just might try to do something to keep Ben away from JR. So Gus wasn't a product of Lindsay wanting a baby for her and Mel? That's just plain wrong. Lindsay was playing both sides against the middle and now it's catching up on her. And she's upset Brian, Justin is not going to let that pass. Michael actually thinking that his mom will give him money for his tax problems? I'm glad to see that they had the locks changed and aren't giving him a key to come in and out. And to think he's still buying toys. Plus he's using Jenney's support payment as an excuse, which he wouldn't even be making if he wasn't forced to. Gus is working on what his sexuality is? Looking forward to the answers Mel comes up with in your next chapter.
Author's Response:
I haven't heard that phrase playing both sides against the middle in ages! Need to work out who gets to say that and when!

Heart is hurting for Brian. What a completel betrayal from Lindsey! Knowing what she did re: Emily, donating sperm for Lindsey etc..and to top it all off Lindsey having gus actually think he was conceived the old fasion way!!!!!! Holy crap! I mean really?!? YUCK! An poor Gus! the kid is so confused about it all. I get his confusion about his friend's sexuiality. good on him and good on the dads to give him such sage advise. He's got a road of disappontment ahead of him with regards to Lindsey. :(
Michael thinking that Deb would give him money......I seriously want to just wring his scrawny neck!! What a petulant fucking ingrate! Ungrateful little asshole!

Ben let Michael have it but good. To the point that Michael apparently had nothing to say. The fact that he was pissed because ben put hunter first is outrageous! As a parent, I will of course put my child first!! Michael would understand that if he had a brain in his head. I seems to think he puts Jenny first. (he doesn't but...). Ben was right though on all levels. Michael took the $$ against Ben's wishes. He always put Brian first. He continually interfered, often maliciously with B&J's relationship...and so on and so on.
Linsey is no different. Once again she assumes she deserves so much. She thinks she doesn't need to work really, that her title as manager of bloom gallery should allow her to have everyone else do her bidding. Doesn't she have an Art History degree? What does she know of business? Let's face it , she crap when it comes to finances! she's sink any business if she were allowed to have anythign to do with the financials. She thinks that Hunter "needs" her...assumes he's going to make an ass of himself. she should know that Lydia would assist.
Now that I'm hearing more of stuff going on behind the scenes, I am SO looking forward to teh opening! LMAO! Even Kiki and sydney seem to be in on it! Getting the "1999 Leather Ball rejects in" was inpiring and Mel and kids leaving to go to Justin's show was good too. Michael of course is not let in either! HA! take that you buttheads.
Hunter of course is on his way to becoming a top notch curator. So proud.
Jenny and Hank's date went well. Waiting for shit to hit tha fan over that new romance! Definitely will be interesting!! T otop it all off Jenny's team won. Expected nothing less of course. :)

Hiya,
I say again: My God you sure know how to write Anti Dumbwitted Duo. Every chapter again I'm waiting to see what Dumb and Dumberer come up with now.
By the way I love the way you use a smattering of Dutch in your story. I live in the Netherlands and am aware of how difficult Dutch is to some people. So thank you for using my native tongue.
Plese don't see this as a critisisme but Onwelriekende teef is a too nice an expression to use for a bitch like Lindsey. I personally would call her a: smerig rotwijf or a: achterbaks rotkreng. These expressions have a more vicious impact. My reaction after reading about her was one of: Smerig akelig kutwijf. (filthy cunt).
I hate Lindsey from the bottom of my heart in this story. Such a conniving, filthy, backstabbing and egotistical bitch.
Michael? He just has to take his head out of his arse and start growing up. If he keeps up this behaviour he will end up pennyless, homeless and totally alone.
Thank you for this wonderful story. Every time an update appears my heart skips a beat. Please keep up writing for you make my world a whole lot brighter

BWAHAHAHA! Michael's getting audited and is totally screwed!
Ben is adorably obtuse in ways isn't he. hehe. Had to giggle over that. at least Steve was on the ball and was able to guide poor Ben in the right direction. I guess Ben wasn'texpecting his "little girl" to be considering boys yet. (Not alot of father do I would imagine at first.) He's definitely smarter when it comes to Michael though. ;) He certainly out manouvered him. Loved that Monty and Eli were in on the escape. Pretty funny seeing it all in my head.
Kiki too it seems is helping out. She's not going to let Michael steam roll over Deb. He can certainly learn some manners rather than taking his mother (and everyone else) for granted.
What is it with both Lindsey and Michael? Why do they continually think that they are owed things, or they make these assumptions that things are their due. Like Lindsey with Mel's clothes. Good for Jenny! She's a strong young thing ain't she! Full of piss and vinegar. Not going to take any crap from those who try to pile it on her. Not Linz, not Michael...imagine Michael and Linz trying to for bid her from Roller Derby!! Lindsey saying that "we as parents..." Ummmmmmm what about Mel?? Could've sworn she was a parent too.
You know you're killing me with all the talk about food all the time right?? LOL. I'm making new menu plans, been checking receipes based in ideas from this story. :)
thak goodness Ben is finally free officially of Michael. Aaaaaaand Michae lowes a shit load of money! LMFAO! Love it. And he seriously thinks that Ben should pay half? Really? On money ben wanted no part of, didn't receive or benefit from in any way... sheesh.

So happy to see another great chapter! Omg the shucks is hitting the fan with the Dynamic Dimwits!
I actually let out a 'WHOOP' while reading Michael's confrontation with Deb & Carl! LAWD HAM TURKEY am I PROUD of her! The nerve of that ignorant ingrate to think that Deb and Carl should use their retirement fund to bail him out instead of paying his own damn bills.I wanted to punch him in his face when he tried to guilt them into by using Jenny support as a cover-up. But Deb is finally wise to her foolish offspring and new that he had some bids out there for collectibles! What an ASSHOLE! I wish I would ask my mother to do something like that. She would still be introducing her foot to my ass every time she thought about it...and my mother has a LOOOOoooong memory! I swear Mitch needs a fist doused in Holy Water to exorcise that demon of Selfishness!
And speaking of selfish demons we have the 'mother' of them all called Lilth...oh I mean Lindsay! What a jealous, manipulative, lying, schemeing, malicious, delusional, damaged, derranged PAIN IN THE ASS!! Like seriously! I was happy when Hunter's review came out and she could see his success in plain black and white. All the 'art training' in the world couldn't give her grace and ingenuity. I laughed at both Sidney and Martine rubbing it in. If I were them I would do it every single day of the work week so she would leave early and cut her paycheck by half.
As for the situation with Emily: she ought to really be ashamed of herself but bitches like her have none. There has to be a way to make Lindsay pay for perfidy. My heart really went out to both Mel and Brian. No matter what they've done, they don't deserve a Lindsay or Michael in their lives. Poor Gus too! Lindsay lying to him telling him that she and Brian conceived him the old-fashioned way was just plain mean. Now when he actually learns the truth, it's going to hurt. Triple L has a whole lot to answer for. Every word she utters has a LIE somewhere in it.
Thank goodness that Brian and Justin will have the support of the family-their true family- to see them through all of this as more mischief and mayhem comes at them from the PITA Association. I'm looking forward to cheering as Justin hides the bodies! LOL
GREAT JOB getting my blood boiling while I'm sitting here at work. I was almost ready to bang my head on the desk until I got the email saying TBOTW was updated! You made my morning, Nicole!

Wow, so much in this chapter and all of it good. Michael thinking he can tell Ben to stay out of Jenny's life is laughable. Thinking he can tell Jenny what she can and cannot do is laughable. In fact his whole life is laughable and his only friend, if you can call her that is Lindsay. Love how Kiki managed to outsmart both Michael and Lindsay. That was really good. Now we have more family in play. Zee's aunt and uncle. The how and why is going to make for a nice chapter. And where Brian and Justin fit in is a puzzle, at least to me. Loving this.
Author's Response:
Glad you are still with me.
Michael is laughable and not in a life affirming positive way and he gets worse...much worse, he wants his own way and doesn't care what he has to do or who he has to go through to do it, same with Lindsay but she's more refined in her attack...but the family see her now, well almost all of them...some angst to come.
Brian and Justin are once again back in the forefront of this story, had to do some setting up a bit, so they will start to fit in and the family close ranks to protect them. f you think Zee and Faal are protective, and they haven't begun yet, just wait till you get a load of Uncle Luc and Aunt Dee

I'm confused, but not sure if it is something to come or something I missed... it's the Emily thing. She asked for help having a baby and Lindsay then got Brian to get her pregnant instead of Emily... what are they getting legalities involved for? I"m sorry if I missed what is going on.
Loving the story and also that even Linds is getting bored with Michael selfishness
Author's Response:
Sorry to confused you. Although she asked Lindsay to help her ask Brian, Lindsay never did and instead persuaded Brian to get her pregnant instead. They never got to the legal stage as Lindsay got pregnant first and then lied to Emily saying that Brian only wanted kids with her. Hope that clears that up.

Oh Poor Wittle Wendy.....SMH...NOT!!!!!! Oh that witch got everything she deserved and MORE! That absolute nerve of her trying to sabotage Hunter with Michael's presence! I can't wait for Mel to get rid of her! I'm so happy that Kiki overheard the harridan and the turd plotting to wreak havoc at Justin's show. Their jealousy knows no bounds! If Lindsay thinks that she's going to be staying in the Brownstone after the lease is up, she betta think again. Zee is pretty much already tired of her but I think she's waiting on Mel to really reach the end of her rope. Once that happens, all bets are off. Fingers crossed that it happens VERY SOON! That loneliness and neglect she is feeling is about to get way more intense for Ms. Lying-Lips Lindsay!
Mitch being mad at Ben was truly hysterical. I cheered aloud when Ben told him off. It was long overdue. Not even his mother is buying into the self-pity this time which makes me even more happy. It's about time Deb stopped defending Michael and let him reap what he's sown. I couldn't stop laughing at Lydia! Between she and Kiki, I think Michael learned a very valuable lesson: Get somewhere and SIT YO' ASS DOWN! But of course he couldn't stay seated. No he had to go running to the only friend he has left- Lyin' Lips Lindsay. Co-dependent much? Well that constant spring in his ass in her direction is going to jab him real good before it's all over!
Michael and Lindsay definitely DESERVE each other. Perhaps they should marry to keep them from inflicting their idiocy and misery on another unsuspecting person.
I LOVED the introduction of Uncle Luc and Aunt Dee. Like Lydia, they will make a wonderful addition to the family! They have already embraced all the people in Faal and Zee's life that matter. I'm glad that Luc will be looking further into Lindsay and Michael's motivations. There is still quite a bit that hidden and I think Lindsay continues to discount just how far a reach Zee- or Faal who is still her main concern- has. Operation Dumbasses Downfall is truly underway.
Jenny: YAY!!!!! Go girlie! First the boy and then the trophy. In lieu and in spite of Michael and Lindsay, she is living her life. With Mel and Ben's support behind her the other two can have several seats and some sour lemons. Jenny won't have a reason to care what they think.
WTG Justin! Lawd I just about died laughing when he made Brian faint! LMAO! And now Faal is jealous, LOL Nothing sexier than making a man call out in a foreign language and then exciting him that much more where he achieves Le Petit Mort. As for Justin's show, I'm so happy for him and Hunter! I foresee a great working relationship which will enhance what they have now. The episode of "Brian, the Blond and the Fur Babies" was adorable. We all knew that Brian was content and that scene showed just how much.
So much more to say about this fabulous chapter! Looking forward to the next installment!

Wittle Wendy's actions are driven by jealousy plain and simple and that has started to bite her in the ass. Uncle Luc, Aunt Dee and Lydia chomp hard whilst protecting their little pup Hunter from the big bad bitchy wolf.
Michael learned his lesson of course not. He just sees everything as a temporary setback in the grand scheme of thinks even without WW feeding his delusions. He's going to get nastier to get what he wants and go to the worst people to get it, but there is nowt more stronger than family - no matter what their mix - and boy will they find out.
And of course Michael tries to sabotage Jenny's budding romance with Hank...but forgets that she's a Marcus and a pitbullheaded demon on roller derby wheels!
Zee is not a happy Brietling giving camper but does get some tips from Justin...and Emmy Lou and a vegetable...

Jenny and Hank being nervous about their first date was cute and very sweet I just love that Jenny was the one to kiss Hank, it was a nice moment for the dad's to witness from a distance and a charming moment for Jenny and Hank to have just for themselves.
Don't want Lindsay or Michael to ever find out, but alas secrets don't stay secret forever plus it will be funny when they try to stop Jenny from seeing Hank and her full blown Marcus side comes out with a vengeance.
Justin made Brian faint WOWWWW! I applaud his mastery over King Kinney, think Zee is a bit jealous cause she never made Faal faint? lol
Hunter was Brilliant at the opening he showed that he has the talent to be a Great Curator, unlike Lindsay who needs to go back to the beginning and learn what her job means.
So we have two new people to enjoy I really like Uncle Luc and Aunt Dee and the Portland house sounds just as beautiful as the Treehouse which everyone is going to love. (At least the ones who get to see It)
Emmett and Zee knocked it out of the park with the food for the opening and then the messy fest just made me hungry.
Glad Lindsay had such a boring time with Michael while everyone else had fun, they got what they deserved for being whiny, crybabies.
I agree with Uncle Luc when he was talking to Zee in the kitchen Mel deserves to be with someone who loves, respects, fights for her.
Lindsay and Michael have this belief that they are entitled to everything and that people should be so happy to be graced with their presences, they keep forgetting that respect isn't given it is earned, they feel they can say or do whatever they want and there will be no serious consequences, loving someone doesn't mean they are allowed free reign to act like self-entitled, self-absorbed children throwing temper tantrums when they don't get there own way.
What worked before is not going to work now and these brats need to grow up or get out, you are only allowed so many chances before they are all used up and you are out in the cold.
I wonder what Uncle Luc is going to find out about Lindsay and Michael, plus what Brian and Justin are going to do when they find out about Emily????
Every Chapter Amazes Me :)
Author's Response:
There had to be schoompiness and of course he's going to try and cause trouble. He thinks her reaction to what he said about Hunter was bad...!
Yep you are right that Zee is miffed that Justin made Brian faint...she will be demanding tips and this will involve Emmy Lou and a vegetable too, that is all I am saying.
Hunter was a little star and I just had to have Miss K...aka KIki...send in the 'troops' to Lindsay's soiree to keep her occupied and Sydney's not as good to Lyndsey as she might think, her sense of entitlement is starting to show and boy does that bite her in the ass.
Mel, unfortunately, finds out a lot about Lindsay she didn't know but she still loves her until she's given another talking to by the family and realises what love really is...
There will be more epicurean madness as I'm a huge foodie as is the Stark/Ugerstacht family.
And of course Michael behaves in a spiteful nasty way to get what he wants...uncaring of who he has to go to or through to get it.

I am cracking up at the fact that Michael got audited and now owes $22,000 I guess he is going to have to sell those toys he just bought (Where was He when Ben got audited?, Ooo another Mystery) glad that Ben got his divorce and is now free of the worm (That will last until he goes to Ben's and makes a fool out of himself...Again), Ted is so evil that I love it and I am proud he didn't let Brian give Michael an easy out cause he wouldn't have done it for Justin.
Lindsay trying to get her Ass into Mel's clothes was laughable and I applaud Jenny for putting Lindsay in her place, I just love the fact Mel was there to listen to Lindsay get all high and mighty then told her off, thank goodness the wardrobe has to be open by code or else Lindsay would be down there all the time, it is cute that Jenny picks out her mother's clothes the kid has excellent taste (Didn't get that from Lindsay or Michael lol).
Jenny telling off Michael first then Lindsay about the roller derby which neither one had a problem with while they were in Canada was funny, Jenny laid all the cards on the table for everyone to witness and now neither is invited to see Jenny in action or come to the party afterwards and partake in all that delicious food. (We all know they are going to try to sneak there way in, This is The Gruesome Twosome we are talking about)
Lindsay got put in her place again by Sydney about what her job actually is and that Justin does not need her to hold his hand, this cheap trick needs to realize that Justin had talent long before he met her and will still have it long after she is gone.
It is amusing that Lydia's niece Martine works under Lindsay and will be telling everyone what she has learned under Lindsay's expert tutelage, I also like when Lydia cut Lindsay out of the discussion concerning Justin's art and what Hunter will be doing.
Lindsay just keeps racking up more enemies every second I wonder if Emily and Francine will be at the opening?
Love that David, Charles and Hank will be there I expect fireworks when Lindsay and Michael find out Hank and Jenny are dating.
Is Britin and the Treehouse going to be enough to house all these people for the weekly We Loathe Dumbass Meetings? lol
I bet Michael's rent should be due soon wonder where he is going to get the money to pay that, the support for Jenny and the money due to the IRS, plus what he still owes to Brian and Justin for the loan??
Can't wait for the opening and the aftermath.
You Are Amazing :)

Michael sell his collectibles. Heaven forefend, he has other plans to get the money.
Ted, evil? No he was doing his bit for corporate...no can't do it, yep he was evil, he'll never forgive Michael for what he did to Brian and said about Justin and Hunter and to Blake so any chance he gets to make his life miserable he will take it, staying on the right side of evil/illegal of course.
Jenny is a Marucs first, a Novotny sometimes but a Petersen not so much, so she will defend her mom first last and always.
Lindsay has no idea who the hell she's going to be dealing with in future chapters, Lydia is one but two other people are championing one young man and they won't let anything or anyone harm him.
Michael is not above beign spiteful and nasty and stupid to get what he wants...and he doesnt care who he has to go to do get what he wants either.
Thanks for the 'amazing' mucha appreciated.

I'll start from the bottom up... LOVE that Michael ignored it long enough, that he missed his divorce! lol
Way to go for Jenny speaking up for herself and for Mel with the wardrobe. Why would Lindsay think she gets to forbid Jenny from roller derby if Mel hasn't even been talked to about it???
Just love the proverbial slaps in the face both L and M keep getting, but they still just don't get it at all!
the audit was just so awesome LOL
Author's Response:
Did enjoy doing this chapter, there is something rather comforting about slapping the twits, letting them get back up and slapping them again!

Hey nice to have you reading.

LMAOOOOooooo!! LMFAO!!!!! <singing in my Martha and the Vandellas vibe> Nowhere to run to Michael! Nowhere to Hide! Your ass is divorced now Michael! The court took Ben's side!!!!! LMAOOOOOOooooooo! Thank you so much for a splendid chapter to wake up to! OMG! So much to comment on!
First up is Lindsay! Well well WELL! Trickalicious certainly got her ass handed to her this chapter. Not only was she caught trying to comandeer Mel's clothes, she was called on it by both Jenny and Mel respectively! She kills me with pulling out the WASP buzz whenever she feels caught and slighted. I'm glad they are not falling for that crap. I'm glad that she is getting thwarted at every turn. I could just imagine the look on her face each time she was called on her crap. I LOVED the fact that Jenny told her off in front of the rest of the family. I really don't think Jenny will have to worry about being repaid in kind since Mel heard everything as well as everyone else. Jenny did at least ask if she could have the conversation in private but Lindsay in her arrogance brushed her off and gave her the floor to speak freely and openly. I don't think Mel will allow Broomhilda to treat her daughter the same way Lindsay was able to corner Gus on Christmas.
As for Lindsay's job: Sidney would just do well to fire her but I think this is more torturous. She is being forced to help the young lady who is the niece of the woman's gallery Justin's show will be held in. Sidney and Lydia should hold a class in "How to Pour Salt in an Open Wound 101." Mel called her on that too! 'Are you sure this isn't because you can't bask in the glory of being the person who found the great Justin Taylor..." HELL YEAH it was!! and 'Guess you won't be lording it over Martine anymore hmm?' Just added to Lindsay's future meltdown. If Lindsay doesn't do right by Martine, I'm sure that both Sidney and Lydia will have no qualms about burning Lindsay's bridges for her within the art world. *evil grinning and rubbing hands* I can't wait to see how this scenario plays out OR the one with her lies to Emily! But for now, I am even more content to talk about the stupidity of Michael....
LMFAO!!! What can I say except that you are brilliant in your 'maelstrom of mendacity!' Shit! I must stop hanging around Faal too....but you know what? I don't want to, LOL! Ted's plan was absolutely BRILLIANT having the IRS come in a audit Michael. Watching him run around trying to get Ben to save his ass was highly entertaining! I love that Eli and Monty loathe Michael so much that they are providing the getaway while seeming like innocent bystanders in Michael's drama. Good for Ben going on with his plans for the divorce!! He needed to be as far away from that ingrate long since but it's better late than never. So now Idiot Boy owes $22,000 to the IRS or risks Federal prison time. *evil chuckles bursting out* Guess there shall be some 'Return to Sender' stamps issued on those collectibles he's been ordering.
As for his relationship with Jenny....LAWD HAM TURKEY both he and Lindz in cahoots is not working out the way the two of them planned. First trying to basically steal her money and now trying to restrict her from Roller Derby has backfired both times. You would think he and the she-bitch would have learned their lessons about trying to run Jenny's life but I have a feeling things are definitely about to go nuclear when he finds out about Hank Cameron. Thankfully Jenny has the full support of Ben and Mel because she's going to need it.
Lydia's reaction to both Lilah and Brian and Justin's impromptu makeout session was hysterical!! I think she is going to be a really welcomed edition to the family. Em and Zee tickle me pink! Zee threatening Faal made me spit my coffee! Talk about creative! I think even Mel learned a few good phrases that she can use on other lawyers in regards to their clients. I agree that they should wait until after the show to tell Brian and Justin what happened between Emily and Lindsay so Justin will have full use of that diabolical and malicious streak which shows up every now and again. Lawd I love that dude!
Girl you have made my morning!!
WRITE On Nicole! HUGS!

Author's Response:
Huzzah glad you liked it, it was fun to write.
And Lydia pours more salt into that open wound that is Trickalicious's seething resentment of not basking in the glow of Justin and Hunter having discovered the lost Taylors...and speaking of Hunter, well let's just say good things to come
Ah nuclear is an understatement when Mitch finds out about hank. The maelstrom of mendacity is beginning to gather and Jenny gets briefly sucked in. But remember she's a Marcus first and a Novotny second and she's got family behind her lots of family.
As for Zee's threat to Faal...I pulled that out of my Bitch Pants On list when one person was being spectacularly annoying...he still has his balls so he learned quick!
Justin's streak will come but he's all about patience, he doesn't need to hurt her yet. But he will. He will hurt anyone that hurts Brian and the family will help him hide the bodies...
Happy reading
Hugs
