What a gem our Daphne is. Only she could scare the shit out of Michael. I just don't understand why Justin didn't tell Brian about the video. He would have enjoyed a good laugh. Ha!

Why in the world did Deb allow Michael to move back in with her? It's going to come back and bite her in the ass.

My man Ted. Handled that phone call perfectly. Those bitches need to learn fast how to live off their own money or move back. The United Bank of Kinney has denied them access.

Love how well Brian is taking care of Justin. He is smitten. Definitely.

Professor Kinney’s Lessons of Love.  It appears as though Justin has learned quite well from The Master, and he sure put those lessons to good use! I love how close Brian and Justin already are. They really did need these few extra days to themselves before they have to face the horrific life that Toronto and Pittsburgh are going to bring them.

I really want to see Michael's face and reactions to finding out it was a GIRL that got him so terrified that night. And by none other than our little Daphne. That was great entertainment learning of that. And so happy everyone on Liberty Avenue is having front row seats to that little video. How long before Debbie sees it? And what a lowlife Michael is. If all he wants to do in a day is watch porn and read comics, and can't even be bothered to wash his shitty clothes, well, Deb should make him wash dishes or bus tables at the diner, and keep the money for herself, in order to supply Michael with room and board. As far as the fact he might have to serve some time in jail to pay his fine, sends tingles up my spine! Debbie wants Michael to get a job, but after the fiasco at the drugstore, I'm sure no respectable business will hire him. OOPS! He just might have to go stand on a street corner :)  And just what was Debbie smiling about, thinking that was easier than she thought? If she looked at Michael's computer and saw what he's been doing, maybe she can have the internet discontinued. Oh... BTW, is there a lock on the basement door, that has a problem getting stuck?

“I want my money! Send me my money!”  Me thinks Lindsay has gotten to the point of the porch light’s on but no one’s home, in other words, she sounds bat-shit crazy! Her and Mel have really tangled themselves in a hole. But I'd like to know just WHY they need money so desperately to pay their bills. Where's their money going? (or don't they have any?) And just what will be the outcome if they don't get GUS' money? I can't remember if you told us how long they have been in Toronto, but have they gotten their Canadian Citizenship yet? If not, have their work visas expired? Whatever their problem may be, when Brian finds out, I think the proverbial shit will hit the fan. I hope Brian goes for and wins full custody. Then the court can order Lindsay to pay child support. Not that Brian needs it, or would accept it, but it would be funny to see that happen. I was so glad Ted didn't take any of Lindsay's shit. Calling her on the fact that Brian has court ordered visitation and they didn't follow through with that. And how Brian doesn't legally have to pay child support. All those times Mel bitched saying she could support her family just fine, well apparently she can't. Also, Mel being a family court lawyer, should know better to go against a court ordered schedule.   Oh well... sounds like they screwed themselves over. Can't wait for Brian and Justin to get there, so we can find out what's going on. The girls better not try to bullshit Brian either, because he will see right through that! And good for Brian not answering his phone. If there should arise an emergency, Lindsay can call Ted, because Brian will answer for Ted.

Loved this update. Still so many questions, though. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Super awesome chapter!  Lots of great details .

Nice chap Kath!

Hey Darling! I definitely agree with the title...Change is GOOD, especially when it comes to ignorant people getting EXACTLY what they deserve!

Daphne is an absolute menace in the very BEST of ways! LMAO! She's certainly one of the few chicks I would have loved to hang out with growing up in Brooklyn; she'd fit right in. IF Michael ever finds out he was bested by none other than Justin's best friend, there's going to be no place he'll be able to show his face EVER! Is it wrong for me to beg you to make it so, oh writing Goddess?! LOL

As for Ted....YES!!!!! BRAVO, Baby Boy!!! Poor little Lindsay wasn't expecting to be outclassed and bested by someone she totally believes is beneath her. And he did it so smoothly, too! I won't put it past her to convince Mel to try her luck with him, since they are supposed to be really good friends...or are they? Yes, I picked up on the sarcasm when Ted alluded to all of the times Mel claimed she didn't want or need Brian's money. Well, I'm with Ted...Let the harridan prove it!

Speaking of which, what has the Tyrant Twats of Toronto gotten themselves into that they NEED the support check? That reveal should be interesting to say the least, especially if it's because of something they failed to do or even have to do, like leave Canada. I really do hope they try to push the financial issue with Brian so they will have to justify their reasoning of why they are using Gus' support check for any and everything that is NOT Gus. Oh, hello Skeletons...are you all coming out of the proverbial closet? I mean it is Halloween and all...LOL

And now for Captain Asshole himself....WOW! What a lazy, dysfunctional scuzzbucket! First, I cringe every single time I hear his voice in my head...YIKES! But now the thought that he is looking at porn....BTW, I really hope that Debbie took Michael's computer to work with her, after having searched it while he was downstairs in the basement reading his comics. It's funny that he doesn't like to be micromanaged when that's all he's ever tried to do to his friends, and now his own mother. But now that Deb knows the true nature of Michael, I hope she has a lot of fun treating him like he was fourteen in age, instead of just in his mindset. Having him move into the basement, and systematically curbing his 'freedom' should make him see the advantages of being an ADULT at long last. However, I have a bet going with myself that as always, he'll probably just see it as his due for being born. For some reason I just thought of "Flowers in the Attic", so I suppose I suppose Michael's story could be called "Crabgrass in the Cellar" or should that be Crab Ass. I don't know, but I shall have loads of fun reading what happens NEXT!  

Brian and Justin are just sweetness and hotness personified! I'm so glad that Brian is not answering his phone at all, and that they are really taking the time to get to know each other without the pressures of everyone else. I think they will need to be on a solid foundation with each other by the time they return to the Pitts. 

Can't wait for MORE!

Happy Writing and HUGS,
