    geez isn't the first rule of working "Don't date your co-workers (or your boss)?"

    Oh yes it is! In fact a lot of workplaces have a no fraternization rule. You can’t date your coworker. We’ll see if they can keep the fire from consuming them....but Evan’s hard to resist and he’s totally beginning to fall for Reagan. Ouch....someone might get burned.

    and this comes from someone who doesn't have a paid job nor ever dated (even though I really want too)

    You want to date and have a paid job? Or just date? Lol.....it’s only common sense that workplace romances don’t often work. However....look at Ben And Sofia. Although they’d known each other a long time and were friends first, had they not worked out, it would have been weird and she would probably have had to quit.

    (Sorry if this turns out into a rant)

    Both -haven't had a paid job since I was almost 19 (and I had been doing that job since I was almost 12)-it was my first year of bowling and I think started bowling in 2008.

    I have neither a paid job (only a volunteer job-disability income is terrible-even I have this funny idea about a different kind of "mystery shopping" business-more like "mystery costumer shopping" ) and I want to date so I'm not by myself in "old age" like my dad's friend he was *suppose* to see today. I don't want to have to rely on my sister's potential husband or their maybe-family nor do I want to have to rely on Cousin Erin's daughter or grandchildren -since Cousin Erin's family is the closet distant to where my family lives. The others (including my sister) live outside the Toronto area on the GTA west side but My family and Cousin Erin's live on GTA east side of Toronto area. I tried looking up programs/classes but there's nothing for people like myself. All the fun stuff is in Toronto and I can't go in there by myself. I mean I can't even go to a my specialist Doctor's appointment without an "Adult guardian" having to be in the same exam room and I'm one year away from turning 30..

    I wish you well. <3 I am sure there is someone out there that feels the same way you do and would love to spend lots of time with with you. *hugs* Good luck!

    It was nice that Ryan went with Reagan to see Avery. I don't think he was super pleased about it though. His future is looking good for him. An apartment right by the gym and the girls are all going to be coming at him left and right. He's loookin' good! 😍

    So 6 months till "Mommy Dearest' is free. I thought she perked up a bit when Reagan said she was buying a house and that there was a second bedroom. I didn't like that Reagan is still looking for approval from her.

    Connie and Reagan seem to be getting along great! Loved that exchange about the clothes! Connie is so cute! :)

    Oooo a date! But not really, just going to celebrate the new home with Noah and Ami. I love Ami and Noah together! Still so in love! <3

    Evan and his bedroom eyes! 😍 You could have cut the air with a knife with all the tension between Evan and Reagan. 😅 It was nice to see them talking and getting to know each other. We still don't know much about him but we do know he has money or did. Waiting on more information but in the meanwhile feel free to have these two get together for awhile. It should be fun! I also saw all the girls ogling at him! 👀

    I might be holding out for Archer's return. :wink:

    Ryan is looking good! I agree! :love: And he does have a vision and is going after it hard!

    Six months....the time bomb is ticking away..... She is happy for Reagan making a wise decision.... And Reagan was VERY happy Mommy Dearest approved. She has so many abandonment issues from her as well as her father later that she desperately wants to be besties with her mother.

    Reagan's home life has improved a ton over the past couple of years. And Connie loves both her and Ryan to pieces. I peeked and Connie is going to be lovely! A good mix of Cole and Dannie - like Reagan but not.

    Not-a-date-date! Noah and Ami.... one of my very favorite couples even if we didn't get to see them together a lot. Noah adores her and she him. <3

    You are so right. The tension between bedroom eyes and jelly legs was soooo thick. At least they were trying to get to know each other a little better. He did have money at one time. Maybe he still does. More to learn about this hottie. And yes.... the girls were watching him. Wouldn't you? :joy::joy:

    Archer definitely has competition now! That's for sure.... :joy:

    Next chapter will be Taylor and another hottie for her.... so much eye candy! :blush:

    Evan looks almost like a young version of Reagan's grandfather Ben, only with much more body hair. Seriously, his arms are as hairy as Robin Williams' arms were.

    Ryan must have inherited his hirsuteness from Avery’s side of the family! :joy::joy::joy: However, he does favor his grandfather. <3

    Hi ya’ll..... some of you may not have read Kaitlin’s (Ben’s mother) story....Starting Over. I am re-releasing it in Wordpress. I originally wrote it on blogger and it was my first serious attempt at a blog. As I’m releasing chapters, I’m fixing glaring weirdness in the writing. :# Not that I am a pro now, but I can see that I’ve improved. :D So over the next couple of months, I’m releasing a couple of chapters at a time.

    Today, I released the Prologue and Chapter 1. The new site is here...

    This is my favorite picture of Kaitlin and Leroy in their youth at the beginning of their long love affair... <3<3<3

    @AudreyFld I read Starting Over and it is awesome you are adding it to WP. I actually read the story after I had started New Beginnings, to give me a bit more context for what was going on with Ben. It was awesome.

    I’m glad you went back to understand Ben and his family a bit better. <3 They were quite the mess!

    Dannie’s little girl is going get her own hottie! I have to say, the camera loves Elliott. I don’t think the guy has a bad picture. <3 Taylor too though. They are both very photogenic... here’s another couple to tide you over....

    It's was nice to see Taylor again and how she's doing. She should have told her parents how well she is doing in school though. They would be so proud, not that they aren't anyway. So Taylor will finish school early, good for her! :) These kids dream high, Ryan and his gym and Taylor and her restaurant. I hope they can make them come true! :)

    Elliot is one hot guy, sadly with a bunch of issues. I hope these two can work things out! To go from taking a vacation in Venice to walking out the door makes me wonder what his past is. :| Do tell soon please! If they get it together and he lets her help him then she could eventually help with his family's business and live in London with him. Maybe they could expand to her home too!

    I did notice she has family photo's in her apartment. That's sweet! <3 I'm looking forward to Saturday, hopefully we will find out more about Elliot then.

    Taylor should have told them. They know she’s doing well though. She would. She’s focused. I think they get their drive from their father. He was so laser focused on vet school at even a young age. And Taylor knew what she wanted too, so definitely her father’s daughter. Ryan is getting focused which is good and Reagan...well she’s a bit sidetracked by Mommy Dearest and Evan...but at least she’s still working to improve herself.

    Elliott is hot and sweet with a bunch of conflicting priorities and maybe some underlying issues he hasn’t shared. He got scared when she got so excited. He knew what she was thinking I’m sure. Then she said she loved him and he probably felt like the biggest jerk in the world, at least I hope he did. :/ If he lets her in, she would totally want to stay and help out. She said it, wherever he is, that’s where she wants to be. But he has to trust her with his feelings.

    And yes, she is a family girl first and foremost. She loves her family and obviously Elliott loves his too, even if it is just him and his parents.

    I feel bad for Elliott. Perhaps he is damaged from having an alien best friend as a child he hasn't seen since (& he can't tell Taylor because she wouldn't believe him regarding this Extra Terrestrial friend).
