All Comments on 'Black Friday'

Thanks for sharing!

Sounded good to me.

there are stories, and this is one of them, you wich you could give 6* or more. Or am i the only romantic soul around here?

Thanks for a great story. I am also a romantic.

Merry Christmas to you too.

A very nice story.

Great story!! Very warm and a pleasure to read.

A lot better than that Hogue crap .

Please write again ! Have a full recovery .

...Always look forward to your stories. And anytime I read, or see, anything to do with pecans, I end up with an amused grin. It goes back to the time that a Texan politely informed me that my pronunciation of the word described a bucket that you pissed in, and not a nut. It's not just meanings that differ across the pond!

Please keep up the good work.

While I have read many of your stories, I do believe Black Friday has beat them all. It was very well written, believable, not populated with characters who could and did do everything better than anyone else. This to me was a winner.

Thank you

This one did not disappoint - as always well paced and interesting. Five stars for sure!

Your stories go on and on and they are still not long enough. I love you style of writing. Thanks for sharing I think I will read it again!!

I do believe I will have to mark you as one of my favorites and go back and read your other works. This one was well worth my time. Thanks

Well this was a great read at the right time of the year. Always like the way you handle your prose. your plot line in your stories moves them along so reader interest stays high. You are a wordsmith. Your stories are so wonderful to read and squeeze the heart with so many emotions. Like in this story how you milk the tear thing. A fiver for sure. One thing I did wonder- what was your rational for categorizing it as non erotic. For me such intense love is very erotic. Such sharing can be erotic. The story is so successful that to me it should be labeled in multiple categories. At least loving wives and romance. This truly was both. Oh well enough. You made my day and I will make others have a good day when I go to the post office and Costco with this silly smile on my face. Thank you for your talent and sharing it.

All I can say after this one is a Happy Holiday Season to all.

They should spend more time rejecting the trash that they allow on their site, especially in loving wives. I'll take poor grammar over lousy stories anytime. You're one of my favorite authors here. Never pass a story of yours. Well done. Thank you. 5* (ML)

You know the stories that make you feel all warm inside and a little less cynic about the world and life in general, well this was it. Story never felt forced or artificial.

Thank you so very much for this great read.

Then they should post more stories like it. Well done.

happy story about ordinary people. Keep writing.

Made me smile. Harmless fluff is sometimes a good thing. Makes us all feel good about just normal good loving families.

thanks

A nice, gentle story about a loving family. Thank you.

I loved it so much that I started all over again as soon as I finished. It was nice reading a story about a gentle man, who was no martial arts expert, didn't kick buts and wasn't a Robert Redford look alike but loved his family as much as they loved him. The only bad thing was that it was too short.

You know flawed like the rest of us -

Nice work thanks

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your story. Thank you for sharing.

Indeed, a window onto a deep and loving life richly lived. Not highly dramatic,yet very satisfying for all that. Thanks for the reminder that vanilla is also a delightful flavor.

thanks

Lovely, just lovely. So rare to read anything where the ex is not a total birch and excluded from the family after the breakup.

But the emotions this story evokes are powerful and priceless. Excellent writing. Thank you

A great story with rich family mixing included.

I loved your "harmless bit of fluff." Keep up the good work.

Very sweet!

Loved it! Thank you for sharing your story with us!

and your stories make me proud and grateful for my own family, no matter how messy it has been here and there. Thx for your insights and penning them in these stories.

Although if this is at all autobiographical, I dont know that Deb is going to like being called pear shaped! LOL

...the Lit admins never rejected my stories for bad grammar.

Gleefully I write Incomprehensible storylines with a pulchritude of deliberate missed spellings, mangled prose, satyrical sex sceneries, ideological rants and pretentious poetry.

They reject, I just keep re-posting. Eventually, they throw their hands up in defeat and post as I dictate.

“You idiot. She didn't want to go. She wanted you to tell her not to, that you wanted her exclusively.”

HE’S an idiot?! SHE’S the one playing stupid games! If she didn’t want to go, you know what she should have said? “No, thank you, I’m seeing someone.”

LOL, after I wrote that I saw he said something very similar!

I don't think I would have been so gracious with the ex. Yes, she gets points for honesty, and not going behind his back, etc, but her actions were STILL so shallow and cold that I could never have anything to do with her ever again.

I expected nothing less.

Another great read! Even your "fluff" pieces get the reader deeply invested in the story and the characters!

Good job!

Not until the end did I understand the meaning of the title. Very good story, you even got an anonymous to reveal his name! You were able to show the ex-wife the errors of her ways, and yet to allow her to return to the family. Not as emotional as some of your work, but still moving. One of these days I will be able to read the Birmingham series again. I am glad you are back.

You may write fluff for me any time. Awaiting next one.

your fluff still makes excellent reading. glad you're back

your fluff still makes excellent reading. glad you're back

says a lot.

that the ex was able to blend into the new family says even more

thanks.

Well a story that doesn't end up with cheating!!!

I teared up more than once through this one. Sell done.

What can I say, "Loved it!"

Good story, and very well written. "Q" is without a doubt one of my favorite authors on Literotica.

Hardly harmless. My eyes are watering; must be allergies....or estrogen in the air or something. A great read (probably my third time through). 5 stars. Thanks.

....and got the T-shirt! After my wife of 14 years decided she wanted out (no cheating, no nastiness, just didn't love me any more), I fell into a vat of good luck like Frank did fairly soon after the ink was dry on the divorce decree.

We have a wonderful extended family, I love my "new" wife to pieces (20 years and growing now), and life continues to get better every day!

Thanks, Q, for this sweet story. Another old man here with tears in his eyes.

PRICELESS BEYOND COMPARE, tk u mlj lv nv

This was a heart felt enjoyable and entertaining tale.

nice

I love this story, I love happy endings

Great story in the long run he has it made who could ask for more. Again we should all be so lucky.

If I get to choose, this is the life I would like.

As always in a class all your own. Thanks

What they said!!

I realy liked this story.

... a perfect. It of fluff.

5-stars

There.

and those need not go to any bank or payments, TK U MLJ LV NV

The sort of story that makes me wish I could give more than 5 stars. Human but realistic and for once equally applicable to the scene in England; well done.

Very fun fluff, really enjoyed it.

I enjoyed this story very much. There were no old people dying, alone, at Christmas, there were no ranting, racist psychopaths, no children dying of cancer. Just a plain old feel-good story with a happy ending. Fluff? Yeah, I guess. But I read stories here to be entertained. If I want to be depressed I’ll go read Ann Frank’s Diary, or The Road by McCarthy. Thanks Q, I loved it.

A number of snapshots in time.

Nicely done.

You are quite the story teller - outstanding tale of family and love! Thank you

I Cried too. Ya happy? I'm a guy, so you have to change the title of your book.

P.s. I want a copy

A lovely tale, simply told with genuine feeling.

Break up first marriage no cheating boredom good

I think cheating a lot of times comes about from lack of c and boredom

I know my marriage ended with out cheating but lack of communication and boredom on her part

Don't know what happened to Amy during Debbie and Janet meeting etc time you skipped over that

But loved the story

Why I ignore a fee errors in stories

Tonight I read twelve stories most really bad, a couple pretty good, and two absolutely great. This was a great one. Nothing here that was not perfect. What a great story teller you are.

5 stars

"I just love happily ever after, don't you?"........Yes I Do!

Simply brilliant storytelling.

I've enjoy so many of qhml1's tales, but this one is a perfect a tale as any. So much kindness, caring, and love packed into one story the reader is left feeling good.

But... I feel obligated to warn anyone passing by. This story is so sweet you may need to take an insulin shot after reading it.

5 stars all the way for this terrific feel good story. Hats off and a nod and wink to qhml1!

Alot of your stories are really good, they remind me of when I was little on the Jersey shore back in the 60s. This one could mirror my life with just a bit more bad stuff written in. Thanku.

what a joy to read a happily ever after story without illness,dying, or adultry.

I have to disagree with this author. This was NOT "a harmless bit of fluff". No cheating and a Real LOVING couple and a happy ending...makes for a real good story. I can always tell if a story is good if I don't want it to end and I could have kept reading this story for many more pages. Thank you for such a great story.

A really good story.

Finally a loving wife that’s a loving wife

Excellent story

Will have no problem reading this one again

Or does Lut have a rule that if there is no cheating, it's not LW? Loved the story, I'll blame my sniffles on a cold.

Thank you for writing it and brightening up my read.

This has got to be one of the few I call a superb story. Yes it had got the divorce thing in it and it was done nice. This was the point that you just outdid yourself you turned this story from just plain to perfection . So please just never stop writing these types of stories. You are truly talented and in a class I like to call very respected and very clever and talented writers. Which I would love to read again and read new stories from you and show these newbies how to write a story. So please keep writing don’t go into hiding this site needs you especially now in this lockdown thing.

I would call it a romance

As good as your best work.

Sorry to have missed it earlier.

Add to my favourite's list

Lovely romance story. A great piece of work.

Great romance story. I would have been royally pissed that she tried to get me jealous by going out with the Doctor. She would have had to grovel a lot more to get forgiven...

My second wife tried the jealousy thing. We had been together for two or three years.

We were lying in bed after making love and she said she was thinking about marrying another guy she had been seeing before she met me. I didn't think she was that serious so I asked her to marry me right there and then and of course she said yes with a great big smile! That was over 40 years ago. She brought along 4 young kids.

I had a family again. It wasn't as smooth and happy as your story, but it was mostly good. She passed last year, the kids treat me like their real dad and they are my real children, kids are kids, doesn't matter who's blood is in them. Great feel good story, bunch sex scenes would have ruined it. Keep writing.

What a wonderful story of love and family. Another winner. 5 stars

10 STARS! THANK YOU.

Great story. Don’t we all need a bit of good, and happy, thinking in this troubled time.

I loved it. It was a sweet mature romance. People make mistakes, especially when people are older and unaccustomed to dating. I get her mistake. She wanted commitment and went about it the wrong way. The men on here have no idea what it's like to be an older woman desperately afraid of putting herself out there. I am looking at you Mark.

It was pretty realistic. Girls play those games because they work on boys who feel the need to compete (see emotionally immature). They work on men who never grew up as well but who wants them? They make terrible partners.

Look, she reverted to old methods designed to define the relationship. It was a bad gamble because she didn't think through the situation. It happens. Men do the same shit. It's called dating after 40 when you are out of practice. I loved it.

Great solid mature romance Q.

Nicest story I've read in ages. Only 5 stars because I can't give more. Well done.

A very calm and peaceful story.

Glad I'm not the only one who loved this story. Your talent is something I respect and admire. This story has bits and pieces from my past, thank you Q.

Not fluff. Great characterisation. the mark of a true storyteller. Yes this is not a Tale of Erotica but it certainly a very sweet romance. No footlong dongs here !

I always enjoy a good love story!

...mostly filler. one star

Such an excellent story. Such a good feel-good one. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank-you!

You are a very special writer and l would think a very decent person. I have read around 50% of all the stories you have submitted and have given a 5star for all except one which got a 4star. Some deserved a 6star but it cannot be given unfortunately. The world would l believe be a much nicer place if some of your stories were presented to a early teen audience so they had a good example of how to be decent human beings as they grew into adults. Good work, always enjoy your stories

You DO tie them in a bow!

With poetic justice outcomes!

What's not to love?

Another good one and another second read.

How could one possibly not like this story? A love story, of the first order...Praises!
