Every mother has "The Voice". Nice start.

Just responding to a few comments I received about my previous review in 8/9/07. Just to clearify things. My rents' came over that night to make sure I was not 'straining' my body while I was in my...condition(pregnant). I was doing work from college and decided to read this fic. They found me at 3:17 in the mourning reading it and so they and my husband dragged me away from my labtop computer and turned it off.(They also grounded my claiming I should be on bedrest even in early pregnancy).

This review was just to clearify the comments I received about my previous. It is NOT related to the story!

Keep on keeping on Commander! YR!

Wow Commander. This fic. was awesome. You are so good with words and imagery I swear I was glued to my chair not leaving until my parents had to actually drag me in bed and shut off my computer. I felt as though I was watching all these events instead of reading it. I so can't wait for the next chapter. Exellent chap. Commander.

(I'm serious. Hurry up with the next story! I wanna hear more about the Stoppable family.)

Greetings, Commander
And you say you don't have kids? Did I read that right? Amazing!
You've got the whole 'kid' thing down to a T with a sparse amount of words, compared to what I think I would have to write. Just thrilled with your style of writing. It'll make consuming the rest of your work pure joy for me.

Belated congrats on the Million word mark!

I just love the names for the kids, especially 'Midori'.
I did wonder if you considered making Amethyst green-complected like her mother, and naming HER Midori. I guess you decided that would be too obtuse for anyone that got the reference to the yummy liqueur.
Anyway, I continue, hunched over my keyboard, sitting in the dark. A large tub of popcorn is overflowing onto my desk to my right, and a Grande Slurpster on my left, the condensation rolling down the exterior of the huge cup to pool on the DVD disc of some long forgotten animation.
Onwards!

Nice, I really enjoy the ease of reading your works. I don't even feel Im reading words, just watching the events unfurl within my mind's eye.

Should have known from the beginning that given this story included Felix, that old steel wheel's arch foe would show up.

Poor little Kimmie got some poison ivy on her tender bosom. That's gotta be hell when your sitting for hours in a cramped SUV. Ron really didn't help with the teasing but he got his dues when the sitch was reversed. ;)

Also seems that KP got her "drive" back if you know what I mean...hehehe. She couldn't keep your hands off the Ron man during the only three day trip. Not that he's complaining of course.

Love the use of the PDP to get her way when the topic of the return trip was brought up. Oh yeah KP knowns how to work her man like a pro.

Thanks for sharing. Till next time...adios.

And the pout strikes again~!

Good story!
THANKS!

A very fitting end to a very long drive... Ammies condition allowed her to do that without stinkin' up the joint? That's cool, it just left all the fun to the boys. I imagine the SUV was pretty ripe smelling, thats a good point to bring up and very well written, Kim's reaction to it fit her perfectly.
The bit with Tara was very sad, do you plan to expand on it in any way? Maybe Kim and Ron giving her a helping hand?
Thanks for the great read and a glimpse into the future of Kim and Ron and their flock.

I loved the contest, and especially the way you handled it. You didn't even have to mention fart or flatulance once, lol

Greatly enjoyed this, all the way!

LOL, I can't believe it. Kim the quitter! Can't take another three days with the kids. Can't really blame her, since society now frowns on the tried and true bung hole method of dealing with kids. Find three small wooden barrels, remove the bung to feed, then replace bung. Great job and looking forward to your next.

Beans, beans, the musical fruit / the more you eat, the more you toot / the more you toot, the better you feel / So lets have beans with every meal!

Nice story Commander, as always. Good idea to fly back. Just hope no one gets curious about the SUV and starts to snoop. ('course maybe the smell would keep them from doing that) I would actually like to see a story based on Amethyst. I really like her character... As always, looking forward to your next story...

That was sweet, and a good way to pay back Monique and Felix. And if memory serves me right, they'd probably spend the same ammount on airline tickets and shipping the truck back than if they would actually drive it back.

Excellent story, reminds me of the large family road trips my family used to go on.

Beans, beans, the magical fruit: the more you eat, the more you ... Ladies, this is why you don't let your guys have these contests: reduce the resell value of your vehicles and/or home! GJ is obviously one happy camper and his father's son.

Obviously, Kim's never been on the farm for any length of time, or she'd recognize the 'eau de porcine.' But tell Ron to stay away from that vinegar sauce!

Mon and Felix always seemed like an excellent match, and obviously Mon is happy (and so is Felix!).
Great chapter, seriously!

Good story, nice mixture of humour and action. I especially like the way Ammie is coming out. Good take on Will also. A totally dedicated agent must seem anal to many who don't play by the rule book. That book is Will's bible. One question. I've been trying to picture the vehicle in my mind. You call it an RV, but who ever heard of an RV without a toilet and beds? Sounds more like an SUV, maybe with extension.

Go Ammie! Get that little gal a foot tall stack o flapjacks!

Good chappie!
THANKS!
