• I will have to check in with them all and come back with their replies a wee bit later. I know it's awfully cold where Jamie is. Casey and Pamela- well I need to inquire within. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 11:11:54 01/17/11 Mon

• Here's a fragment of something I'm still working on with Casey, it's brief partly because it's unfinished and partly because there is a major spoiler right after that last paragraph, so I'm not posting that. :)>>>> -- celtgirl, 12:13:35 01/17/11 Mon
  • Verry nice! (NT) -- LadyDuBois, 15:01:31 01/17/11 Mon
  • Helloooo My Casey :-) 'Equipped with breasts' hahaha. This is wonderful Cindy. I picture the isolation of the Aran Islands with a bigger mountain terrain. And at first I was a little taken aback that they were out there alone, fending for themselves but then realized they would know how to handle this kind of situation even at such a young age. Very curious now too about what comes next :-) (NT) -- Mahri, 15:08:23 01/17/11 Mon
    • This bit was somewhat inspired by my friend Paul's stories about having to live outside of Belfast on their own as boys- he was only fourteen I think when he and his brothers were living alone in a farmhouse in the countryside. It was the only thing his parents could think of to keep their teenage boys safe, how sad is that? Once I was asking him about slang for police and he said, 'when they have a gun to your head, you call them sir.' I asked how often that had happened and he said 'oh, every time I went into Belfast on the bus.' (NT) -- celtgirl (), 20:26:28 01/17/11 Mon
      • He seems to regard it lightly. It's pretty amazing just how adaptable humans can be. Yeah, I'd call them all 'sir' too. (NT) -- Elaine, 05:34:25 01/18/11 Tue
        • We talked about that- that he just sort of shrugged it off in a way and he said at the time of course he didn't, but that he was just used to it being part of his life. He has some hair raising stories about his past, but to him it's just his life though he has expressed to me more than once how grateful they are to have peace now (well, relatively speaking).

          • My church recently sponsored a benefit concert for a group that provides musical instruments and instruction to children from war-torn countries. This organization continues to work with kids in Northern Ireland, along with Bosnia and other countries. When I remember the name of it, I'll send you the link. Their mission is very interesting. (NT) -- Elaine, 18:46:29 01/18/11 Tue
  • Lovely little idyl, Cindy. I can just see the two of them there fending for themselves, running wild in a harmless way. Lovely on such a bitter cold day. (NT) -- Carla, 16:04:06 01/17/11 Mon
  • Amazing! The closeness of the brothers is so beautiful. The idea of their thoughts being too big makes me smile...youth has so many blessings that we miss as adults. :-) (NT) -- Lil, 16:14:31 01/17/11 Mon
  • Oh my, he is entirely addicted to her. Would that every woman might bring out that kind of longing in her man! Thanks, Cindy, knew you wouldn't disappoint! (NT) -- Elaine, 19:54:01 01/17/11 Mon
    • Well, he is fictional and written by a woman....:) (NT) -- celtgirl, 20:16:07 01/17/11 Mon
      • WHAT?!?! Fiction??!!? Take it back right now! ;-) (NT) -- Mahri, 06:25:17 01/19/11 Wed
        • Sometimes I have to say he's fiction so people don't think I'm entirely crazy. :) You know the non-reading kind of people who just don't understand. (NT) -- celtgirl, 09:51:19 01/19/11 Wed

• Here is what His Lordship is up to in the cold- this is only a part of the chapter, from about halfway through>>>> -- celtgirl, 20:52:55 01/17/11 Mon
  • Wow! His Lordship manages to get himself into some serious shite! He really needs to take it easy sometime4s! (NT) -- LadyDuBois, 04:56:25 01/18/11 Tue
  • Well... okay then... just waiting for my pulse to slow back to normal; should just take a moment or two. Whew. Well, I could never have imagined THIS scenario. We have really done a lot of study on tigers this school year (it is literally Tati's favorite animal, bar none), and I know where the remaining tigers live, and how they do indeed tolerate, if not actually prefer, the cold, so maybe it shouldn't have come as such a big surprise. Jamie, my dear, all I can think to tell you is what I told Bill Clinton about 15 years ago - you've got to keep your horse in the barn, buddy! It took me all day to finally get enough quiet time to actually sit and read this excerpt through, and it was sure worth it. Thank you, Cindy - another gem! (NT) -- Elaine, 18:43:08 01/18/11 Tue
    • Did you actually say that to Bill Clinton?!!! I would have loved to have been there for that. I bet Bill smells good, he really looks like a man who smells good... (NT) -- celtgirl, 21:22:43 01/18/11 Tue
      • Said it to him from a distance ... of about 1000 miles. Honestly can't recall if he smelled good; his height (which I call 'Tall Charm') was his dominant feature. (NT) -- Elaine, 21:36:11 01/18/11 Tue
        • I remember reading an article in Vanity Fair about his charm. The writer talked about being at a private dinner and no one knew Clinton was coming, but someone arrived and he said every woman in the room turned toward the doorway before they were even aware who exactly had arrived- he said he'd never seen anything like it in his life. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 21:42:15 01/18/11 Tue
          • Charm is a dangerous thing and when you mix it with intelligence and wit, look out. (NT) -- Carla, 14:09:23 01/19/11 Wed
  • Wow! What a beautiful and frightening Jaimie piece! LOL at Deb's comment - nothing surprises me anymore with this man....well that's not true, I still get surprised, but I shouldn't *g* (NT) -- Mahri, 06:23:42 01/19/11 Wed
  • Beautiful imagery, Cindy. I can so clearly see Jamie following a huge tiger across the frozen ground, moonlight glinting off both of them. That man and his animals :) (NT) -- Carla, 14:08:17 01/19/11 Wed
  • Jamie, I felt so close to you as I shoveled snow this morning. Thank God, no lurking tigers in my vicinity, just a murder of noisy crows. (NT) -- E, 10:37:27 01/20/11 Thu
  • Oh my goodness, the imagery is wonderful! Again we see Jamie and his affinity with the animal kingdom. Love it! (NT) -- Denise, 22:52:55 02/03/11 Thu
