Hahahaha! G'day Alexis, that was "Good Shit Man!" Very well written and I love the way the joint section seemed to come from out of the blue, great ploy. I could see her sliding down the chair LOL. Top job my friend, cheers Fez

I only tried the stuff twice, and I was asleep within 10 mins the first time, and lost my legs the second. It only took two puffs on each occasion. I'm a serious lightweight methinks! Alexis xxx
Comment from rwilliam
This is really good shit, man,' the blond, weightlifter type to the left of Carl drawled after he'd taken a couple of draws and settled back in his chair with a Cheshire-cat grin.--Excellent descriptive sentence! Very visual!!!
Laura tried to imitate his stance, but only ended up sliding down the chair until her shoulders were nearly where her arse had been two seconds before. Now she was down there, she couldn't work out for the life of her how she could slide back up to her original position.--What a good belly laugh this gave me! LOL THANK YOU!! :-D
Bravo! I just loved this chapter.So much fun to read and I loved the comic relief in this one!!
Have I told you today what a great writer you are?! :-D YOU ARE Awesome!!!

You made my day with this review! My confidence is a bit shaky at the moment as the time is rapidly approaching when 'Let's Talk Dirty will be available on Amazon (that's if we can get the cover right. I think that's been more stressful than writing the book! Thank you my friend. Your stars and encouragement are just what the doctor ordered. Alexis xxx

Comment from Ulla
Oh, I enjoyed this. Very well written and quite funny as well.. You may not believe me, but I have never had a joint in my life so have no personal experience. I used to smoke many years ago and I do indeed love my wine with the food. I am no prude.
Back to your story: Igor says I be back= I'll be back? Maybe it is on purpose as his English is not perfect.
Liked it a lot and looking forward to reading on. Ulla

I do believe you. If it wasn't for my kids teasing me about never having tried it as approached fifty, I would never have tried it either. It was a horrible experience, and I did indeed 'lose' my legs after two puffs. Fortunately I was at home at the time! Yes, the 'I be back' is because of Igor's language problems, but thanks for picking up on it because it might have been a mistake. Alexis x
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Well, at least Laura is finally relaxed. LOL! Did she know about Igor's mattress and living quarters? If not, she will now. Maybe she'll find him a room? Interesting problem... wonder how she'll solve it. Can't leave him there... surely against codes.

I think that's what this book keeps doing. I create problems and then I have to work out how to solve them! Alexis x
Comment from jpduck
I enjoyed this. Laura's predicament was meticulously described. I was expecting a police raid at any second.
But Michelle still hasn't opened her mouth.

Comment from scongrove
LOL! You really did a great job writing this chapter. I like the way you put something different into the story. I'm sure this brings back memories to all that have tried smoking marijuana for the first time. It really cracked me up.
And Igor saved the day. Laura owes him one. :)

Lol, I keep taking breaths in all the wrong places! Thank you for catching those, Margaret. Your helpful reviews are always appreciated. Alexis x
Comment from Joy Graham
Oh boy! LOL!!! The prim and proper me was horrified, but you inspired a few giggles.
"...came through to the reception area (before going home)..." - I tried not to be nit picky, but the bracketed words nagged at me. I think it would sound better as, "intending to go home". It happens again with Igor.
"...to get a cold beer from the bar (before going to bed)..." - maybe that could be explained better as, "on his way to bed".
I love your writing as always.

Comment from Annette Gulliver
Ha.ha ... that was such a funny chapter, Alexis. Poor Laura. The 'happy smoke' had the opposite effect on her. I like the way you have her slump in her chair, virtually legless. I saw the film "Saving Grace", and thought it was hilarious, I could easily sit through it again.

I have, several times. As a widow, I could really identify with the whole scenario! Alexis x
