Just one more thing for Glo, I grew up with the country club set, we never use WASP (white anglo saxon protestant) when speaking of ourselves, we find that calling one of us a WASP is the same as using the n word for a black person or using Jew in a deragatory way.  It's pretty much a deregatory name for anyone in the country club set, we prefer that than WASP or we say "money'ed".  I don't have money, my grandparents did, I live in a 4 room apartment and I'm on disability, the money got spent by the parental generation. lol

 

I haven't said anything due to the fact that I've noticed more and more authors are using it outloud with the Taylors and Petersons, so I just kept my mouth shut but I burst today, lol  

Author's Response:

Hi Bec,

In truth, I suppose it's derogatory based on where you grew up. I'm a born New Yorker and heard the term quite frequently, even when I lived out on Long Island, midway between Brookville and the Hamptons (two of the most expensive places in the country to live). In those areas, they have no problem with the terms as it separates them from the Haves and the Have Nots; also in terms of Old Money and New Money. As for the 'n' word itself, some ONLY find it derogatory when a person of another race (same as with other cultures) says it, but within their own it's acceptable, based on the context in which it's used. Again, it's all about perspective, where you live and what you were taught.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter.

OH MY! So very happy to see an update of this wonderful, wonderful story! And a long chapter to boot! Thank you so much for this update. What a tangled web of deceit you weave. Frickin Lindsay! One would think Chase would have been smart enough to use a condom. Why chance getting an inmate pregnant? Surely he would see how that would ruin his career...

Gardner better run for hills. Brian is not done playing with him yet. Could this also put Troy back in their line of vision?

Good to know Christian won't be alone when meeting Hobbs, Sr (he doesn't deserve to be called his father). I wonder what his angle to talking to Christain is. Whatever it is, he won't get the chance with Daphne there. She's too well versed in the WASP area. I doubt he will be happy to see three women present. He's a man's, man after all. Women are below him. To see the three of them in a position of power, might have him coming undone.

Why wasn't Brian called as a witness in Chris' trial? I always wondered about that in canon. I understand why canon treated the situation as they did for the story arc, but in reality, wouldn't the DA call him as a witness? I know in this story the DA was probably bought by Ron Peterson, or others, but wouldn't the press be outraged?

Brian's going to see Michael? Why? He better have a two-way mirror and a special tie pin. Michael is going to be so exuberant when he sees Brian has come to see him. Maybe playing with him a bit before he gets down to the reason of his visit, will help Michael open up, and be a little more loosed tongue.

I was so happy to see Joan and Jennifer building a friendship. Joan has had so much character growth. I've read a few stories where Joan has had a change of heart and bonded with Brian, but this is way better than any of other relationships that I've read of the two of them and what they are building. Gay Studies. I sure hope Debbie doesn't join the class. I think Vic will be disappointed in Deb when he finds out she blasted into their conversation. Knowing her mouth, I'm sure she will be ranting about it when she gets back, about the way Jennifer talked to her. Glad Jennifer put her in her place. Deb, like a few others, just don't know when to shut up! Deb would do well to remember just who Jennifer is.

Once again, thank you for the update, and writing this awesome story, and sorry for the ranting...

Hugs, Cathy

Woah! Did not see that plot twist coming at all! Lindsay was spying for Vance! That bitch has so much devastation coming her way! I certainly hope that Chase and Tara take Justin's advice about coming clean with the marriage before Lindsay can do anything.

I am looking forward to the meeting between Christian and his father; especially when he finds out that Daphne, Cynthia, and Mel will be there, too. He sounds like a man that would believe that women belong barefoot and pregnant, never to be heard only seen. He'll have to be scraped off the bottom of their very expensive shoes by the end of the meeting! LOL!

Good to see Joan is going forward with her plans to learn and that Jennifer is joining her in the Gay Studies class. Let's hope Deb doesn't hear and decide to join. She'd probably try to take over the class.

Looking forward to the next update!

*HUGS*

Oh Lindsay you are still playing checkers and it looks like you are about to sacrifice your pawn little girl!!

R

Tara and Chase should've known better than to get involved with a Gutter Whore like Lindsay and they will deal with the consequences, but perhaps something good could come out of this like saving that baby from Lindsay?

I mean it's not like she is going to be able to raise the baby in prison.

If they beat Lindsay to the press then they can spin the story to make it seem like they while being stupid, would be way better parents than a Prison Whore.

Brian and Justin laying everything out there prevent Gardner, Lindsay or anyone else from using their sexual history to tarnish Kinnetik, plus it gives them no leg to stand on when trying to destroy Brian and Justin's reputation in the business community.

By them controlling the way the conference is done they make Gardner and his cohorts look like bitter, conniving, jealous A-Holes.

Debra could've just walked away but she thrust herself into a conversation that really doesn't concern to berate a woman who is trying to make amends with her son while bettering her life, what did Debra hope to gain by trying to put down Joan?

It still doesn't change what she did to keep Michael Innocent and Saintly in her eyes?

All she did was move fifteen steps back instead of staying in her own lane smh

Jennifer is itching to give someone a beat down lol

She and Joan are an interesting friendship and I see them enjoying it a lot ;)

Thanks for the Update *Big Hugs*
