Oh, those are all in the 1% that doesn't get destroyed.

That's a great story, and like the others I've seen, well done!

Unless you've edited it, nowhere in your initial post do you indicate "I have read no more of this book than the prologue."

Then the parent being gay is completely null as a plot point.

They don't have to be unsavory, though. There is artificial insemination, there is willing to have sex because it could lead to pregnancy. There is the traditional method of the man spending into a cup and then you just use a pipette...

There are many things, but only one that really mattered to me.

>!They did not make the part where abusing animals was forbidden, so humans went with the bullfight, only to be punished by feeling the pain of the poor bulls.!<

I know, we all have different things to find bothersome. I could shrug off the crunched timeline. A little. Okay, so my teeth hurt. That thing they skipped, though, I think they ought to have had it in there.

Love love love love!

I was going to take advantage of the typos to say that as being gay doesn’t stop you from being fertile, so the main character might sell the child and then gain a profit…

I second the Locked Tomb series! Just to be sure, we are talking Gideon and Harrow?

Honest truth, I'm really on the fence about whether or not to recommend it.

It's darned good.

Liking it meant that I appreciated so many scenes of the recent mini-series.

It also meant I was furious with a few of the stupider things they did, and utterly disappointed by one particular thing they left out.

There is one thing that should reassure you tremendously, though. Her partner clearly knows nothing about you. Which means she doesn't talk about her patients. Which might really mean that her uncomfortableness might be because there was no way for her to give her partner context without violating your trust. Emphasized because I've just read some of the other responses.

If you feel up to it, next time you go to her, apologize for putting her in that position and thank her for being so professional.

You are awesome for trying so hard!

And search for the "lost" chapter.

And the video on youtube!

A Glorious Dawn

I'm sure glad you're both alright!

Just relax and go with the flow?

Not sure if this will help, but if I understand correctly, it goes like this:

Let's say a woman has only sons. The sons have her mitochondrial dna, and have children. The grandmother's mitochondrial DNA is left behind because, apparently, when the sperm hits the egg, it destroys the mtDNA it carried with it. And, because nature is devious, that doesn't always happen completely. But usually, then the grandchildren will have only their mothers' mitochondrial DNA. However, any of the granddaughters will have their paternal grandmother's X chromosome.

And for further fun, because our chromosomes line up and split apart without regard to whether they came from the mother or the father in the first place, a grandchild might easily have very little from one or another of their grandparents. Like the time the father had passed away, and his mother was sure one of the grandchildren wasn't his child. The DNA test didn't detect enough relation to the grandmother, so they tested against the siblings, which worked because they were full siblings, not half.

Because spreading rumors like “I had sex with this person“ is what some people do when they are rejected, when they want to look cool, when they don’t want to look like a prude, and saying “it’s on you to explain how this would benefit me“ is something gas lighters and manipulative people do to others.

No. You did not, and the ball is not in her court. Your ball, which you allowed someone to take and beat her with, is not in her court. You need to start walking around and saying “She did not have sex with me. What’s his name just said that because he thought it was funny. She did not have sex with me.”

You are GOOD! Also, now I want one. Mac should hire you.

Oh sweet heaven, OCR problems. I am deeply familiar! Here are a few of my common finds: d=cl h=ln W=|V B=8 m= nn (and vice-versa).

In theory there are not many typos. But hoo boy have I read some books. I even got into it with an author, once. It turned out when they were shopping around for editors, they were being quoted $4000. And I couldn’t decide if the editors were trying to rip them off, or just looked at the sheer… OK it was really, really, really bad. so many typos. Occasional randomly capitalized words. I just, I just couldn’t.

Definitely! And the Doctor would have a rioting good time being a T-Rex!

EDIT:: OH! I misunderstood the question.

Um. I don't know if there is a specific genre. I can recommend:

• The House That Wouldn't Go Away author Paul Gallico
• The Black Stallion (and Flame) books author Walter Farley and by the way, things do get weird at very odd points.
• Watership Down by Richard Adams (waves hands hysterically Plague Dogs! aaaaaaaaaah wait, do these count? I mean, those stories aren't world-threatening...)

stares off into space for a while

• Katie Long and Siren author Tony Roberts (Imaginary Rock 'n Roll star's story)
• Kinsey Millhone Detective series author Sue Grafton
• Catch-22 author Joseph Heller

Probably many more, but of course now I am drawing a blank.

Hugs to you!

Accidents do happen, and I am so glad no one was hurt. What ever happens with your license, it happens.

So you've learned, and can really internalize it, that if things spill and you want to set them right, pull over as soon as you safely can.
