Another chapter skillfully
Another chapter skillfully woven into the continuing saga of Dawn & friends. I could heap praise on you for your current story-line, I won't -- every thing has been said from one time or another. I will simply wish you and all a heart felt wish for a Joyous Season and a Better New Year!
Merry Christmas & I will be awaiting the next installment.

good. and they've made some progress on the church nuts
Fantastic
Another fantastic chapter and a great way to slam the church group.

Here it comes
Cameron will try to take down the station now, and he won't be subtle or care about breaking laws. I hope Blake and the crew are ready.
What day is Christmas for your purposes? Thursday with the party on Christmas Eve?
Mr. Day
Somehow I think Shockley will now be following Cameron closer than his shadow. So anything he tries to pull will come with warning. A Happy Winter Solstice Celebration of your choice.
May the Peace and Happiness of The Goddess keep and protect you

another good one
wow you just continue to knock them out, I wait just to see this every Friday.... you got it girl and have yourself a very merry Christmas, for you and yours
Am I the only one...
Giggles like a mad schoolgirl teehee please for the love of all that is just, put the play list that she plays at the beginning of the story, I have gotten to the point of finding the name of the songs, stop reading, find it on youtube, play it, and then start reading again. =]
I so love the music that you've found for her to play, I've never heard of a lot of them so it's so awesome to hear the music along with reading about Dawn and friends!
Does the happy dance wooohoooo, Thanks! =]

Slowly the noose of justice
Slowly the noose of justice is tightening around Shaw's neck, and he does not even realize it yet. By the time he does, he just may be staring at a very, very long time in both State and Federal prison, because he will have broken the laws of both the State and Federal ones.
Ah, well, no-one has ever said that crooks like him were extremely smart, the crooks just seem to believe they are.
I look forward to your story every week
Thank you for continuing to tell your story. It is well-written with nicely developed characters.
It seems like Cameron ..
and his cohorts keep digging themselves a deeper hole . The judge needs to throw the book at them when they're arraigned . Something tells me that Leo isn't all that bright and he will continue to cause headaches for the station, despite his parents telling him he's not to call or harass them again. I'm looking forward to the next episode of this wonderful story !
I Love Princess!
Great story with fantastic plot twists. If you give bad guys enough rope they hang themselves!
Boys will be girls... if they're lucky!

Purse contents??
"Breath spray, pepper spray, perfume, rocket launcher, Kleenex, machine gun?"
Had to laugh at that
Thanks and Merry Christmas Miss Snowfall
I wait with baited breath
what does that mean . With a worm, whatever My anticipation is on needles and pins ummmm thats a song I think
Love this story

Answering Your Question...
Correct spelling is "bated breath". I'd assume that bated is a form of abated, and the phrase literally means that someone is holding their breath until the wait ends.
Eric
No...
Someone had a cat that would eat cheese and then go sit by mouseholes...
A friend asked him what his weird cat was up to and he said "Oh, he's just sitting there with baited breath."
An excellent chapter, as usual.
Snow,
Merry Christmas to you and yours. May your Muse bring you more time and keep your imagination fertile.
HUGS
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Snowfall. Loved the chapter. Just perfect for an early Christmas present.
May the peace and happiness of the Goddess keep and protect you

Simply loved It
I cannot get enough of this wonderful story and fantastic characters, Seems like The young man may just get a wake up call, or a clip around the ole lug ole*
I had Thought it was 1 of Shaw's cronies with the calls but it seems it a 2 pronged attack,
Had to laugh at the Purse comment does Dawn think Dina is related to Lyssa or any of the Ram rock crew?
And it seems like The principal and super are getting things lined up for Dawns arrival at school.
And I do wonder just what Day's defence is going to be in court?
Blake really put the clamps down on them and with being so pro active I have a feeling that a certain soon to be preacher is going to regret even hearing of KVTX.
THankyou for a wonderful chapter as a great Xmas pressy Snowfall , I hope You have a wonderful holiday time and looking forwards to reading a lot more of Your stories.
And to All the people at Big closet I hope You all have a great Xmas.

Purse comment
Nope! Dina is related to the DeMarco Family. It is a REAL small branch three times removed.

Back in 1974, I was working
Back in 1974, I was working at BFBS Malta and we did a two way family favourites for the service families in the Mediterranean.
It lasted the whole of Boxing day and we partied for the whole day in the station. Doing shifts on mic and running to the library to get the songs.
No co.puter stuff in those days. What a hoot.
Thank you!
How perfect that writing to the story also let you write to the season as well. Merry Xmas to you, to Dawn, to Lana, to Kayley, and to all the other wonderful characters you've gifted us with.
Cracker .Merry Christmas

Happy Christmas
This is a wonderful story. So many thanks for sharing. I look forward to every chapter.
I hope everyone has a quiet and restful Christmas
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Excellent choice for Dawn to sing. It's in my top five Christmas songs for sure. I just love Karen Carpenter's rendition, Judy Garland did a great version (for Meet Me in St. Louis) too.

Lovely version of Lonely Feather
I also dropped over on Youtube and did a search several weeks back. The version I found did absolutely nothing for me. Thinking if Dawn was singing that, I would have passed on by. I could not justify in my imagination Lyle or Brett being captivated by anyone who was singing "that noise" no matter how beautiful their voice was. I chalked it up to writers prerogative and Snowfall's youth of what passes for soul soothing music.
Thank you for posting this beautiful version. My appreciation of the story and Snowfall's taste in music got a whole lot better.
Have fun with life, it's too short to take seriously

Happy Christmas
I'm thinking if you are far enough away that the rocket launcher is a practical choice you're better off running away!
Now, let me toss out my current Christmas song of choice.
Happy Christmas (War is over)
John Lennon
So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas (War is over)
For weak and for strong (If you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (War is over)
The world is so wrong (Now)
And so Happy Christmas (War is over)
For black and for white (If you want it)
For yellow and red ones (War is over)
Let's stop all the fight (Now)
A very Merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas (War is over)
And what have we done (If you want it)
Another year over (War is over)
And a new one just begun (Now)
And so happy Christmas (War is over)
We hope you have fun (If you want it)
The near and the dear one (War is over)
The old and the young (Now)
A very Merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over,
if you want it
War is over,
now
Happy Christmas
"Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.”
George Carlin
BTW: Happy What?
Was Dawn baiting the christo-fascists by wishing everybody "Happy Holidays"?
"Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.”

At the risk of repeating myself,
I can only say... Amazing! this story, so well plotted, so well told, with such believable characters has captured the hearts and minds of so many readers.
I can only sit amazed at the imagination and talent displayed in this tale, and hope it continues for as long as the author has time to write it.
Merry Christmas, Snow. May your star shine as brightly as this story does.

As a T-woman, I do have a Y chromosome... it's just in cursive, pink script.
"Deprogrammers"
...are often just as bad as the "cults" they oppose.
The mere mention of them in even a mildly positive sense is worrisome.
Dumber than a bag of rocks
Good to see Dawn is on the mend, the cover story about having the flu, coming and going, was perfect. But none of this should have happened in the first.
Leo seemed very ignorant about his and the rights of others when it comes to religious beliefs. As Arthur told him, he can have or not have his beliefs but he can't impose them on others. Which is what he is doing by harassing the radio station. His down fall came in a cease and desist order, and his dad point to one of the Ten Commandments. Fight fire with fire.
Shaw's little group has to be dumber than a bag of rocks. They have an unsavory reputation, they're up against people who are rather sharp, who can contemplate what's going to happen, and who are very protective.
Cameron has been caught dead to rights. He and his cronies were caught on film assaulting an employee of the radio station, then filming radio station employee license plates. As the saying goes, his ass is grass.
Dawn singing that Christmas song was a huge bonus for the listeners. It also endeared her more with the listeners. Blake did a very good thing the day he let Dawn go on air.
Others have feelings too.
