Injectable metronidazole

I loved this story and want nothing but a black lover myself, but I just have to tell all you other girls, today I ordered my first injectable estradiol valerate and spironolactone pills online. I've also gone to Bare Essentials and ordered my first bras, panties, blouses, skirts and other goodies in way too long a time. I can't live a lie any longer than I have already. Truthfully, I just want one good black man who cares and loves me, and I'll give him my heart and everything that comes with it. Wish me luck, girls. love, Randi

Geez...In 2035, they cannot do any better than using 'deer-hunting' tag technology? The IRS will be in charge of this, of course (Institute of Random Sex) and if I were in charge, using 2013 tech, it would be faster and much less susceptible to fraud. Either an injectable subcutaneous capsule (like for sustained release birth control) or, simpler, a UPC code tattooed on everyone's wrist. Female uses phone app and phone camera to 'read' the code and then sends that information, plus hers, into IRS computers. Duplicate mates from previous sessions would be detective.
Overall, a cute little tale...which would have been much better if MdB had been available to review and work her magic.

Strangely enough, I thought this had a good ending. Jake found someone he could care for and this should get him off his butt to go out and look for someone for himself rather than borrow someone else's wife. Laura did the right thing and cut the cord abruptly and finally. I can't understand why some of the commenters are looking for another chapter when you clearly mentioned up front that this was a trilogy. Trilogy, as in three parts.
I can't quite get my head around this relationship. Matt apparently has a medical problem due to prostate surgery, yet he apparently can get at least a partial hardon and can have a orgasm. With medication, he can get a full erection and they can work out some sort of procedure to satisfy them both. I know about the medication, because I had and ED issue and an injectable material gave me incredible erections (to the point where I had to take an antidote to get rid of it). If Laura loves Matt as much as she says she could work around the logistical problems and they wouldn't have to resort to the surrogate. But, different strokes for different folks, I guess. 5*

Trying to interject some honest skepticism into the constant arguments for Right to Privacy. ether personal or public or from commercial and government intrusion. I have pointed out that the concept of privacy (as generally recognized within our society and culture, is a rather modern invention. And now as obsolete as an odyllic detector or blunderbuss.
Privacy as distinct from confidentiality, which are often confused together, as you and I would recognize the idea only came into it's modern usage around the fifteenth century during and in response to the Little Ice Age. Wood Fuel was expensive to collect, transport and distribute. The forests of Europe and Asia were being wiped out to feed and heat the Western and Eastern worlds.
Rebuilding housing to smaller rooms with solid doors cut down on the effort to heat them. And suddenly the Bourgeois were alone, probably for the first time in their lives. The poor of course still lived one or more multi-generational families in a one-room hovel. The wealthy/nobility were also denied private lives. From conception thru birth thru childhood and adult lives unto their deaths, inherited estates and privileges precluded any thought of ever being alone, without witnesses.
And probably, a majority of the human race still lives without privacy. Of course us entitled First Worlders are so certain in our vainglorious egotism that we confuse a temporary situation with the Laws of the Universe. Our addiction to, our adulation of our pretty, pretty shiny toys, leave us blind in our narcissism to the price for digital technology.
We can have digital technology or we can have privacy, we cannot have both. All digital tech has coded into the basic sub-routines a wealth of easily accessible meta-data. The Constitutional Right to Privacy is as obsolete as the amendments authorizing Letters of Marque or the right to own Human slaves or the Postal Service.
Actually, the USPS is an interesting part of the history of government intrusion into individual privacy. As it was from the beginning the original secret police mechanism for the Federal government. And has remained so until quite recently, as a changing world has left the USPS to slowly deteriorate along with Canals and lighthouses
In conjunction, modern credit bureaus had their beginnings with church networks to monitor the conduct of their membership and provide what confirming information there was available about new arrivals.
ass_p, you listed a lot of off the shelf items that are or will be soon available for voyeurs everywhere. But all that is already foreshadowed with obsolescence. Eventually we will see development of bio-technology, injectable before or after birth. The laws to regulate it, forbidding use on minors and restricting it to consenting adults will only last one or two generations before universal demand sweeps away all prohibitions.
Then your sweet-faced little darling great-grandchildren will run up to you, dismissively laugh at your obsolete tetraflop device and dance around singing Live the Computer! Be the Computer! We are the Computer!
