I am new on FS and this helps me look forward to reading more from Jay and other writers I will read and review. Thank you for my daily laugh and may I someday be on Medium (not as a reviewer).

Hi Shelia, welcome to FS! Jay has been around a long time and only a few months ago left to write on Medium. He has received every honor FS could bestow on a member, including writer of the year, reviewer of the year, and much-loved fellow. Thank you for reading, and enjoy your time here. Terryl.
Comment from Ulla
I am so glad to read this piece about Jay. I'm glad he's doing well, but I must say that I sorely miss him here on the site. He has always been such a big help to me ever since I joined in 2014. I love his writing. Thanks a lot for your update and please do give him my warm regards. I would love to be able to contact him. Ulla:)))

Terry,
Thank you for updating us on one of my besties on this site. He was one of my biggest supporters and the other way around, although I'm pretty sure he gave more than received. Please tell him congratulations and we miss him, especially me, lol.
Take care,
Rhonda

Rhonda, thank you for reading. Jay will read your review. Last night, he said the reviews were causing him to dab his eyes a lot. Terry.

Tell him I hope so. He's made me dab mine a few times, too!!
Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
It is wonderful to know what Jay is up to. when he wrote me that he wasn't renewing his FS subscription, he added that it was a temporary thing and that he expected to be back in about 6 months. I guess that has gone by the wayside if he's enjoying Medium as much as you infer. The only change to this post I would like to see is a clearer impression of what Medium actually is. You have left us wanting more on that front, kay

Kay, thank you for the six stars for Jay. I didn't go into a lot of detail about Medium because it is big and a bit complicated compared to FS. But it's also a writing venue with a different focus than FS. When they have a million members it is surprising they have some great writers and stories. Jay may be back, I hope so. He has read the reviews, and there no question he misses the people here. Terry.
-
The six stars are for the both of you. You did your part too!!!
-
Thanks Kay.
-
maybe now he's rich he can play on both sites, haha
-
LOL...maybe he got too rich us!
Comment from Mrs. KT
Good morning, Terry!
Sadly, I am out of six stars, but your post is definitely deserving!
What a wonderful tribute to Jay, who looks very dapper in your chosen photo of him!
Interesting information about "Medium." I'll pass, though. Barack and I are not on speaking terms; I wouldn't want folks to get the wrong impression!
Thank you for sharing and for the smiles!

LOL, beware, the Big Dog is loose! I've been wanting to use that phrase for 12 hours. Thank you for reading. I know Jay will be delighted. Terry.

I KNEW THE MOMENT I POSTED THAT YOU WOULD REPLY WITH "BIG DOG!"
GAWD!
I'M DOOMED!!!!
(Well, it could be worse: in college I did a skit as "Dee-Dee- Ding-a- Ling!"
I'll let that weave its way into your imagination for a moment...Quite the vision, yes?) :) :) :)
Big Dog!

LOL!!

Jay also inspired me with the many kind reviews he penned on my writings. I wholeheartedly support your views on his work also. Posts such as this truly highlight the value of the Fanstory site. A wonderful tribute to a good guy from another obviously, good guy. Sorry, our of sixes.

Thank you for reading. Jay has not lost his sense of humor, and is doing fine. Terry.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I miss Jay, I miss his sense of fun, everything about him. He was such a big help to me back in the early days, and he was always sincere. I'm glad he is earning money from his writing now, when he left here, he was is a bit of a state after being scammed out of all his money. There are some creeps around. It was lovely to see his face here again, Terry, thank you for doing this. Warmest hugs, Sandra xx

Hi Sandra, thank you for the review. Jay is an excellent writer, and it's easy to forget what an outstanding reviewer he is. He takes time to gives each review a thoughtful response. Terry.
Comment from Gloria ....
Twenty-three bucks? Holy Cow. You hit the gold mine. Drinks on Terry! Half an hour looking into Medium was all it took to inform my decision. I'll just have to be satisfied writing on FS and for the Senior's Centre Golden Opportunities newsletter lobbying the government with CARP for discounts on coffee at the A&W for mall walkers. Some old people love carping about trivial things so it's a good match. We enjoy a cheap brew at the Double You before going into London Drugs en masse to do some shoplifting.
You know they're on to you when they start locking up the once a day baby Aspirins. I'm surprised The Rolling Stones haven't come out with a song about what a drag it is getting old; something along the lines of Grandma's Little Helper.
Excellent shout out to one of my favourite FanStorians, Jay Squires. I still remember the time he chastised me ever so nicely for calling him Sir. He said it made him feel old. Fair enough, but you tell him every writer worth their salt ALWAYS wears a black turtleneck for publicity photos. It's all part of the image thang plus the contrast makes white hair shine like a mane of pure gold.
Great post Terry. I quite enjoyed this. :)

Gloria, thank you for the six stars. For my $23 I doubt I could buy many drinks! LOL. Great review, I love the Rolling Stones comments! Terry.
Comment from T B Botts
Hello Terry,
I was wondering where Jay had gone. I'd only been following him for a bit before he wasn't here anymore. I liked what he wrote as I recall. This is a really nice tribute to him, well done. I've never checked out Medium. I can barely stay on top of the reviewing on this site. I may check them out some time, but for now, I'll be content here. I get to read a lot of stuff, and if Obama is on here, I don't know about it, which for me is fine, not a fan.
Blessings,
Tom

Tom, thank you for reading. Medium is a big place, but its not for everyone. I don't want to work that hard. It's not unfriendly, but it's a tough nut to crack, at least for me. Terry
