Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll

I agree with Leslie.  In the previous books, I did sometimes feel uneasy reading about Ennis's jealousy.  But I sense he has relaxed in these 2 books, perhaps due to the consolidation of their relation.  What I felt in this chapter was just a kind of love chat between 2 lovers and they enjoyed it a lot. 

Now, I would like to know what will Ennis buy for Ellery.

Mornin all. Mornin June. Right, it,s raining and it,s miserable her in the UK at the moment so we need lots of hot stuff please to warm us up. 

Good afternoon folks, afternoon dear Souxi 

Yep, it's just as miserable over here in Holland *sigh* so I could do with some E&E TLC too 

How's *that* reading coming along Souxi?   

[Bigheart]

This was meant as a laugh guys! We know that, just like in the fairytale, Ennis' teeth are all the better to nip Ellery with!

PS Perhaps something with guns would suit Ellery.

LOL Jo! 

I love that belt buckle for Ellery

Mr. Coyote can't come biting until Ellery is feeling a bit more sprightly.  But don't worry... that'll happen.

Now, I would like to know what will Ennis buy for Ellery.

I would like to think that Ennis, having been poor all his life, will find a way to come up with something special and meaningful that does not necessarily cost alot of money. He said it himself when he was fixing the windows, "Necessity is the mother of invention." An early gift that he gave Ellery was fixing the bird feeder and looked how much they have both enjoyed watching the birds over the summer. Anyway, I haven't figured out what this gift will be yet, but I am thinking.

Another lunchtime update - thanks Lousie.

OK... well this one left me feeling much like Ellery did by the end of it. I know that Bill deserves no sympathy, but I really couldn't help feeling sorry for him. This might just throw a bit of a cloud over the boys's engagement plans, or maybe make them realise the importance of what they have together. That they don't need to be playing the field because they have something very special.

I'm sure that I won't be the only one whose mind this crosses, but, does Bill's revelation mean that this particular spectre is back to haunt Ennis and Ellery? AIDS is really starting to have an impact on the patrons of the Red Stallion. I hope for them it is a place of refuge, where they can help and support each other (and perhaps educate each other on how to be safe).

I was worried for Ellery. How long has Bill had AIDS? Is it absolutely certain that Ellery doesn't have AIDS?

Well, they really do need to know that you *can* get AIDS from giving blow-jobs.

I'm still not worried for Ellery having AIDS. It's been quite awhile since he and Bill were together, and Eller would have gotten sick by now.

[louisev]

hey Lori, nice to see you...!

there's more to this "I've got AIDS" story than meets the eye, as well.
