• Just some quick thoughts before I head off to the dentist...4. If I get angry, I yell but not name call and then I calm down and talk once the frustration is out. Somehow, Pamela's name calling seems nice compared to some I have heard. #6. Isn't that the title of a Roger Miller song? (NT) -- Tracy, 08:46:43 10/23/07 Tue
  • LOL Tracy that's the first thought that came to my mind too...isn't that a song *If this ain't love, then all I've got say...God didn't make little green apples....* hahaha! (NT) -- Marilyn, 09:01:57 10/23/07 Tue
    • I didn't even know there was such a song, I just grabbed the title from the green apples Pamela sent along as well as the rosary. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 09:36:28 10/23/07 Tue
    • and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime. Bobby Goldsboro maybe? (NT) -- Elaine, 10:19:19 10/23/07 Tue
      • Goldsboro was the one that popped into my mind - but I think Miller did it as well. (NT) -- Marilyn, 10:58:30 10/23/07 Tue
        • Yep, I believe you're right, I can hear Roger Miller's voice singing it now. (NT) -- Elaine, 13:39:08 10/23/07 Tue
          • I remember this one, my mum used to listen to it! (NT) -- Sheila, 00:42:14 10/24/07 Wed

• 4. When Pamela is truly furious and, in this case scared as well, she goes into a white silence. Casey knows well enough by now that those silences do not bode well for himself, so he is a bit relieved by the name calling, it means she's starting to thaw. :) Myself I name call in the midst of the fight. I don't even do that much anymore- I have an unfortunate tendency to see how ridiculous I'm being right at the height of my anger and sometimes have to leave the room to laugh. Not going to let Pat see me laugh but the bugger knows what's going on at this point in our relationship and uses it to his advantage. (NT) -- celtgirl, 09:52:00 10/23/07 Tue

• 1. She's really referring to the fact that Casey doesn't trust her at this point and she knows it. Their fight is about the things they aren't saying and they both know it, unfortunately that doesn't make it any easier to say. (NT) -- celtgirl, 10:15:33 10/23/07 Tue

• 74.1) Both I think, but I think her own secret weighs most heavily on her heart. (74.2) Maybe it's Robin, but I think it's something more sinister going on. No proof of course, other than the fact that Pamela has some trepidation about it herself, which speaks volumes. (74.3) Yeah, I've been a middleman - more of an intercessor - and I hate the job. I'd never purposefully interfere, but will try to help if called in. It's something I'd rather avoid because it's possible you could lose a friendship (or two) in the process.

• (74.4) Just a door-slammer. I try to meditate to cool down, and make an effort to fight fair; I'm not one to deliver low blows or hurtful reminders of past mistakes. That only makes everything worse. (74.5) If he wasn't outright working for the IRA, then I think he was on the periphery and could serve as an advisor. He could have joined in at any time, the Republicans would have surely welcomed him. (74.6) The title evokes a sense of simplicity and innocence. Poor Lawrence, caught in the middle of the feud, is far from simple and innocent. His childhood should have been idyllic, but if it had been he wouldn't be here with Pamela and Casey. I think they need him as much as he needs them, if not more. (NT) -- Elaine, 10:56:13 10/23/07 Tue
  • Jeeze, would you just look at how many times I used the phrase, 'I think?' That's ridiculous - simply must find a more creative way. (NT) -- Elaine, 13:50:32 10/23/07 Tue
    • Uh Oh, don't call it ridiculous E - I think I do that all the time *g* (NT) -- Marilyn, 14:02:10 10/23/07 Tue

• #2- 'Tisn't Robin, or anyone connected with the IRA....I think you all will know who the watcher was once you really think about it. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 11:33:28 10/23/07 Tue
  • Have we guessed correctly before? Are you going to tell us if we do? :-) (NT) -- Marilyn, 11:42:58 10/23/07 Tue
    • I think someone guessed correctly awhile back, I'm not sure who it was though. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 11:45:43 10/23/07 Tue
      • Inside >>>> -- Marilyn, 11:48:26 10/23/07 Tue
        • Babe, you're sizzlin'. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 11:52:51 10/23/07 Tue
          • Marilyn, what a brilliant mind you have. I have to admit that name never occurred to me, not at all. (NT) -- Elaine, 13:37:19 10/23/07 Tue
            • Seriously!??! Wow, that the heck is he doing?!?! (NT) -- Tracy, 14:55:38 10/23/07 Tue
              • LOL better start working overtime Cindy ;-) (NT) -- Marilyn, 15:15:10 10/23/07 Tue
              • I'm only slowly finding that out myself as book three unfolds here- and Trac, I'm a little closer to finishing it than I was when we talked yesterday. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 15:15:46 10/23/07 Tue
                • Phew! Ok, my shakes are starting to subside a bit. (NT) -- Tracy, 16:06:21 10/23/07 Tue
                  • Wowsa.....evil returns. Didn't Jamie kick the crap out of him at the end of EU? I hoped he might be bedridden somewhere... (NT) -- JaneH, 03:58:38 10/24/07 Wed
                    • You know how evil I am, so did you really think he was gone for good? :) There's a pretty big reason he's back. But I'm still working the thread on that one. (NT) -- celtgirl, 15:02:21 10/24/07 Wed

• I haven't looked at Mahri's guess yet, but for the life of me still can't figure out who it would be. I did think that it may have been someone nice just keeping an eye out to make sure Pamela and Lawrence wre ok and then I thought that it could have been someone bad but when no harm came (that I knew of) I thought it was a good guy again. I'm almost too nervous to look now. (NT) -- Tracy, 12:02:12 10/23/07 Tue
  • OK, I have thought about it but still not sure because I thought something really bad happened to the person. I'm going to go peek at the answer now. (NT) -- Tracy, 14:54:23 10/23/07 Tue

• 74-1) Pamela understands that she broke a trust, for all the right reasons, when she slept with Love. She hasn't reconciled this in her own thoughts and feelings so it creates a tangible, emotional barrier between them. I also feel Pamela must suspect that Casey is more involved with the IRA than he has admitted, so here is another case where the trust that Casey is keeping out of trouble is tenuous, if not broken. (74-5) As previously stated, I believe Casey has been involved with the IRA, even if in a more peripheral way than his former involvement. It's funny that bug mentioned this in an earlier post because Casey's dusty shoes sent up a red flag with me as well. I was sure he couldn't help but contribute in some way to the cause, if not in an open manner, then certainly behind the scenes. (NT) -- Denise, 20:48:19 10/23/07 Tue
  • CINDY, I have to say I take exception to your characterization of 50+ women in the last chapter! Gray pallour, skin like parchment - Pah!! You just wait a few more years and see how you feel about the whole matter! (NT) -- Denise, 20:51:19 10/23/07 Tue
    • Not all fifty plus women, just those TWO- now E. already took me to task. Don't you worry ladies, I am close enough that fifty looks young these days anyway. These ladies were kinda born old maids, you all know the type, prim at twenty, never mind fifty. Just think if you'd never had sex and were in your fifties. Do you really think you'd be sporting a youthful glow? ;) (NT) -- celtgirl, 21:04:12 10/23/07 Tue
      • Then I must be glowing like a 1000W light bulb! *g* (NT) -- Denise, 21:14:05 10/23/07 Tue
        • LOL - lucky you, Denise! I think that modern moisturizers and other 'remedies' have helped turn back time a bit. There was a discussion here about one of our local ethnic (western European) populations. Photos were shown of a tiny woman, hunched over, wearing a dark lace shawl and carrying a string bag of sorts. She had the look of someone well into her 80's (as perceived by me and most of the audience). The photo was taken in the 1930's or 40's. And the surprising thing was the age of the woman. She was barely over 50 years of age! Clearly, things have changed, but what an interesting take on local history. (NT) -- Elaine, 06:23:44 10/24/07 Wed
          • I agree,,, modern days have brought some good things for sure. I wanna say, tomorrow I will celebrate my 27th wedding anniversary. I have been trying to keep the glow going too as I approach 50,,, just turned 47 this past summer,,,, so it is close. Not too hard to do when you still love your husband after all these many years,,, and still love being with him in "those ways". We may have some major disagreements at times, but the flame still burns strong. (NT) -- bug, 08:02:52 10/24/07 Wed
