I like John... John can stay... I pressed record, and Michael Novotny became history. LOL ... It's REALLY too bad there isn't an option of pressing record and him becoming extinct.

So, they're planning on getting Lindsay married and consummating her marriage prior to going to trearment... so Lindsay will be legally bound by the contract... but... we don't know yet how all the contract reads, so, my question is: what are Lindsay's repercussions going to be for breaking the stipulations within the contract?

Yes, she should heed: Know when to walk away... LOL..

Can't wait to see what you have planned!

So that's what Michael and Lindsay have been up to lately.  Lindsay getting married again has so much against it that she's screwed no matter what she does.

Thanks for the update! Love strong, smart and sassy Justin. Not surprised so many people want to work for the Taylor-Kinneys. Easy to see those two will take L.A. by storm. As for Justin and Craig, what a smack down?! Love this story. Looking forward to more.

As Slaps Goes Justin have Craig quite a doozy too bad he is too stupid to comprehend that he lost and he lost Big Time.

Brian and Justin having the house in both their names is a good idea because Craig seriously is stupid enough to try to sue them for it and it will be yet another stupid mistake in many he will make in the seconds, minutes, days, weeks and months to come.

Justin coming up with the names and new signs for their businesses is Genuis both will set quite a precedent for the world they are about to conquer.

Thanks Michael and Lindsay!

Erica and Pete are going to help out TK Electronics on the market with a competent staff behind them.

Bringing in Jennifer and The Grandparents is good they will have quite the insight to help in the success.

Justin is just going to have to deal with his mom having her own fun with a younger man besides if he treats Jennifer as a woman who is strong, loving, tender and ruthless he will be just fine lol

Thanks For the Update 😃

Well, Craig sure has backed himself into a corner - well a radiator - and can't get out...

I have to wonder by having the house in Brian's name too, if that would even stop Craig. Talk about an idiot and slow learner. Because, yeah... even a two-year-old would learn after the first, if not the second time, that radiator was HOT... meaning DO NOT TOUCH!

And, yeah... if Justin is a Princess, Brian surely is a Queen.

Thanks for the update...

Excellent!!! I would say poor Craig if I had a little compassion for him, but I don't! On the other hand, I see some fun for Jennifer in a near future.

I loved "Well the princess has learned from the best bitchy Queen of queen-outs there is, sooo…" and "Barbie and Bimbette".

So, Lindsay will get married with a wealthy gay guy; it seems to be her usual target, except for Melanie.

Nancy is a redoubtable Machiavellian!

Thank you for the update!

First off, thank you for getting your head into writing this LONG chapter for us. It is greatly appreciated. And sorry my review didn't get out yesterday, I had to wait for my granddaughter to type it up.

I also appreciated the explanation of Michael's wealth (as such). As soon as I started reading the explanation, I was like... OMG... I DO remember that. I remembered that was why they didn't want Deb to have shares or ownership in the diner as Michael always ate for free. Brian always paid for drinks, etc... So, what can I say in my defense? Maybe I read too many stories, and forgot which one that belonged to. (Hey, it sounds good to me!) LOL.. 

So, Murph is going to go as Art Director to Asst Art Director and work under Justin? WOW...

Lindsay... redirection, charitable work, BREAK THE BITCH... MAJOR LOL... But, best of ALL... PAYBACK, YOU BITCH! So, well deserved.

$155 Bi-Weekly. $310 a month. Is that supposed to cover any medical she may need throughout the month? Possibly club membership dues? Anyway, I hope BEFORE John takes that step into the marital bed, he makes dang sure Lindsay has every test done possible to ensure she is STD-Free. From any and ALL diseases. But, is Nancy going to be paying the $310 a month?? Or is she just paying John a fee for doing this?

I'm assuming there will be strict restraining/protection orders in place for Brian, Justin, Mel, and Gus. She won't be allowed phone, email, or texts. And if it's proven she HIRED someone to do that, or uses her flunky, Michael, can she still get into trouble? (This is something I've always wondered about. And her cell phone having GPS with voice recognition... brilliant! But, will Lindsay be able to have her cell phone in treatment?

And so help me God, I will tell them of every freaky, sneaky, underhanded plan you two came up with that ultimately resulted in this tragedy of a merger.

That sounds REALLY ominous. I have to wonder just what ALL they had planned, and just how much of a role Lindsay and Michael played. (That sounds like something that should really be passed onto Brian and Justin.) Forewarned is Forearmed.

Ryder and Gardner are way too stupid and if they keep trying to get at Brian and Justin they are going to be very broke and of no use to anyone

 

John Cartwright has a very legitimate reason for wanting to make sure Lindsay suffers and she deserves every second of it for the pain she caused him and his parents with her selfish actions.

Though $150 allowance is way too generous I would've made it twenty bucks a d she has to make it last a month, and if she wants extra she has to clean the house herself for a week and that means every room, windows, bathroom and take out he garbage too lol

If he wants more she has to mow the lawn and I bet he has a big lawn that she has to mow by hand on hopefully a really hot day and she has to.use the hose to get drinking water roflmao

John and Julian are adorable them taking it slow to date is cute because satisfying their list for each other is easy but building love takes time especially if you want it to last.

Sounds like Cabello will be joining the team before the day is out and he will enjoy his job better too.

Thanks For the Update 😃

Lindsay's parents plan to marry her off.  Good luck with that.  Michael on the other hand was stupid enough to think David would welcome him back with open arms.  But Hank is on to him.

Ha ha ha, Lindsay married to a man, wealthy, but cheap! That's a promise for some funny encounters.

As for Michael, I hope he has a 2 ways ticket so he won't have to stay in Portland. Else, I fell very sorry for the airport management.

Nancy made it sound like they're selling Lindsay to Cartwright. Oh Well.. one way to get her off your hands and checkbook. I have to wonder if Ron is aware that last 5k went up Lindsay's nose. The payout to Justin didn't seem to hurt their pocketbooks the way I thought it would. Will Ryder and Gardner be as lucky?

Not that I don't find Michael's predicament extremely funny, but how did he get so much money in the first place? Besides his fine, and then a one-way last-minute ticket to go 2,500 miles, had to really cost him some major bucks. He wasn't working in Portland, and prior employment at the Big Q couldn't have garnered him too much money. So, again, where did he get this money?

Where's David and Hank?

Gotta love Joe Ferragano. He can really do bitch slap-downs. Sloth indeed! Laziness definitely becomes Michael!

Author's Response:

Hey Cathy,

 

The way Michael accumulated so much money was explained throughout the second installment. However, to put it all into perspective for you: imagine if you worked, but all of your expenses were paid by someone else.

In Michael's case, Debbie took care of everything, including his rent and food. Tne only thing she didn't take care of was his comics/ collectables (at least not that she knows of) and clothing, which if you think about it really explains a whole lot. Example: 'I just blew a whole week's salary on a Wonder Woman collectable that was just posted on Ebay'* Although a pretty direct quote from somewhere in Season One, it would stand to reason that it wouldn't have been the first time Michael had done something so irresponsible. You don't have to suspend your disbelief that far where this version of Moocher- erm, I mean, Michael, is concerned.

Anyway, that theory is also why every time Michael wanted to go out to eat, he went to the Diner- a habit that's been happening since before he started working at the Big Q and has been continued all the way through time to officially move to Portland. So free food and free housing left Michael with a pretty substantial bank account, especially since Debbie had no problem inadvertently lying about why she always needed extra money. I mean, she did because she was taking care of two households while living on her salary and tips from the Diner, but no one really knew that except maybe in Em in an obscure way.

As for the little ingrate himself, whenever he needed extra money, he'd just pull out a sob story and the puppy dog eyes, and VOILA! Instant 'loan' which never got paid back. Then add David to the mix, and it's not hard to see how he accumulated so much money. Plus, believe it or not, comics and other collectables really ARE worth a pretty penny. And as Dumby often noted, the longer you hold on to it, the more it appreciates in value. So based on Michael's 'collection' and how long he's been working at hoarding his stash, it's safe to believe that he's had some pretty prime pieces that were worth a small fortune to sell. 

Hope this helped to paint a complete picture of where Michael's 'wealth' came from.

HAPPY READING and HUGS,

~Nichelle

That's fine sending all of Lindsay's belongings to Ron and Nancy's, but Lindsay is in prison, and I assume will be there for quite a while. She certainly won't be released in order to live with them. I doubt mumsy and daddy are going to have any funds to hire her a lawyer. Hell, they might have to sell their home, and hopefully make a profit, in order to survive. They will be so far down the ladder, that they won't know what hit them.

It sounds like the Gui situation backfired. I hate to think what he's facing when they catch up to him.

When Brian first asked Ted to look into an account for Lindsay Kinney, I thought maybe he overheard Jen on the phone, then I remembered Brian being told earlier that he could be in trouble.

I hate to think of what all Mel's home will need to have done to get it ready for selling... I'm betting Lindsay did a number on it.

HOW THE HELL AM I BEHIND THREE CHAPTERS????

I'm catching up tonight, and with my sturdy carpenter pencil clutched in my hand, I wanted to leave a review.

I think Michael is dumber than a box of rocks. If he thinks he's going to be welcomed by David, he's sadly mistaken. 'Go home, Michael. Go home."

I'm very happy with the way you portrayed Morton Spitzer and his discrimination and homophobia. Unfortunately there are still some a-holes like him out there, but I do believe it is getting better. But, GOOD FOR JEFF! and the other's who lost homes, that he had to pay dearly. SERVED HIM RIGHT!

And what a yummy specimen you chose for Jeff!

And yay! Mel and Gus are going to California! I was wondering how you were going to get her out there. And thank god Lindsay is already old news. She would have loved getting her hands on that 289k.

Cartwright sounds like someone who will twist Lindsay into so many knots that she won't be able to find her way out again.

Perhaps dangling one of Lindsay's most cherished desires will have her eager to sign those papers without realizing that she has nowhere else to turn because of the iron clad prenuptial agreement and her new fiance having all the power.

And this was Jennifer's idea? Genius!!

Wonder if Jennifer knows someone who would like to put Michael in his own gilded prison with no way out?

Sounds like Nancy despises and envies that Daphne has that much strong will and power at such a young age that she wields honestly but with an iron fist, while Lindsay is still sitting at the beginning and refuses to grow up.

Justin and Daphne have quite the work ethic that will make them successful no matter what they do without having to lower their standards to get people to want to be near them, they may have been raised Wasp but they are living their lives on their own terms without bullying or deceiving others to get their way.

But when pushed they can fight dirtier and nastier while still looking innocent and sweet plus when they destroy their enemies and weaken their foes no one will believe they did anything so Diabolical.

Ronald should just keep his mouth shut and stay out of Justin's way or he will be crushed and ridiculed for the rest of his life.

Michael running to David who left as fast as he could with his son to a better life shows just how much effort he is willing to put in to make sure he is well taken care of until he comes up with a new plan to get Brian.

He is so idiotic that it doesn't take much effort to insult him but it hurts watching his brain try to come up with something new and original.

I hope his feet swell after walking ten miles back to the airport lol

Aren't Mel and Lindsay Married Civilly?

Thanks For the Update 😃
