• I was just going to drop you a note, Mahri, because I hadn't seen your name at the boards. Was a little concerned - glad to know it was houseguests and not illness or something. (NT) -- Elaine, 16:43:19 09/11/07 Tue
  • Mahri and I both have, 'delighted that Carla got to Col, pretty depressed that we didn't get to as well' blues today. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 16:46:27 09/11/07 Tue
    • I've got that germ, too. I'm incredibly jealous. Green as the cow pastures in Co. Tipperary with envy. (NT) -- Elaine, 18:48:20 09/11/07 Tue
      • Oh girl, I KNOW how green that is. (NT) -- celtgirl, 18:56:05 09/11/07 Tue
        • Hahaha - omigod!!! No, I really had an off day here and then my niece came by on her way to California..but dayum I'm beyond green here!!! (NT) -- Marilyn, 19:02:29 09/11/07 Tue
          • Here honey, let me give you a little something to make it all better >>>> -- Elaine, 19:07:12 09/11/07 Tue
            • Awwww haha thanks - he loves me, I can see it in his eyes :-) (NT) -- Marilyn, 19:10:10 09/11/07 Tue
              • God in heaven thank you for that man. And I mean that. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 19:11:28 09/11/07 Tue
            • That's my boyo. Sigh. And yes, there really is a world in that man's eyes. (Sorry, don't mean to rub it in, but I am still feeling like it was all a dream.) And Cindy, I'm thinking it was a Goddess who made that man ;) (NT) -- Carla, 20:10:45 09/11/07 Tue
            • Now that's a lovely picture - did you know green disease spreads all the way down to Oz?? I am living proof! (NT) -- Sheila, 00:26:38 09/12/07 Wed

• Boy, I"m gonna have to go back and re fresh myself on some of these questions. I fiugured I would though, so I am ready to. I'll go ahead and respond to the ones I can. Ch14) 2-3) I wasnt sure who it was going to be, but I did suspect someone was going to try to kill him, Wasn't sure even when, but no , I wasn't exactly surprised. Since he had been menitoned specifically a time or two, I thought,,,,,,,, ah maybe him.. I don't think I recall any times previously that I saw anything that made me think it was about to happen though, until it did. No, have not seen the Northern Lights. Would like to though.

• 12-1) Why does she take the chance? Because she's Pamela the risk-taker. And because she'll do anything to keep Casey safe. She's also got some dirt on Emma, which gives her a bit of leverage. Pamela's no dummy. I think she was banking on Emma having the same loathing toward Love as Pamela does, and that she'd enjoy nothing more than to pin something big on Haggerty. (NT) -- Elaine, 19:35:54 09/11/07 Tue
  • I thought Emma was quite good in her heart. But circumstances of her life spun that goodness out for the most part. I gave Pamela credit for seeing enough of a glimpse of that to take a chance. (NT) -- JaneH, 10:24:25 09/12/07 Wed
    • Yes, I think you're right that Pamela saw that feature in Emma, but only after she'd come to talk with her in the apartment. Before that, I don't think Pamela had a clue what to expect. My guess anyway. (NT) -- Elaine, 11:49:07 09/12/07 Wed

• (12-2) Pillow talk reveals an awful lot. This is Haggerty's fatal flaw - he thinks he's a big enough threat that he can say almost anything to Emma and feel confident that she's too scared to share it with anyone. He doesn't seem to realize that some people aren't so afraid of death, that maybe death is better than the life they're living now. Emma cooperates because she's living with regret, and because she knows she's on the way out now that Haggerty has Pamela. There's nothing much to lose at this stage, she's damaged goods. (12-3) Yes, I'd wager both boys are Love's sons. But Emma's son is too little to be much of a threat ... yet. (NT) -- Elaine, 19:37:02 09/11/07 Tue

• 13-1) I find it hard to believe that Jamie didn't know about Pamela and Haggerty. It was he, imho, who put the bug in Lucas' ear about Pamela being in Boston, and I think it was deliberate - Jamie wanted Pamela to see the evidence of mob violence, as shown through Lucas' lens. Maybe Jamie was just guessing about her relationship with Haggerty. It's also very possible he had connections in Boston that Pamela knew nothing about, but I feel certain the photography job was purposely set-up by Mr. Kirkpatrick. (13-2) Ryan knows Pamela is smart. I think he suspects that Pamela's involvement is more than just a physical liaison. He may have known by now of her visit to Emma. He was pointing out to her, in his none-too-subtle way, the dangers inherent in asking too many questions, in trying to get too close to the business side of Haggerty's life. (NT) -- Elaine (), 06:02:25 09/12/07 Wed
  • Lucas, Jamie etc>>> -- celtgirl, 07:55:14 09/12/07 Wed
    • The problem with Jamie is >>>>>>>>>> -- LadyPeggyB, 11:21:52 09/12/07 Wed
      • yes>>>>> -- susiej, 12:07:41 09/12/07 Wed
        • yep she does that, but yano, she does get them both in a way. She holds both their hearts. Dangerous men can be the most loyal, and protective. she's a lucky gal that Pamela is. (NT) -- bug, 05:50:57 09/13/07 Thu

• Chapter 12. Q1. Pamela also knows that Love is a bastard and that Casey is not and is probably thinking that Emma might help her out in order to help Casey. I think she's also desperate to end the whole bloody mess and is willing to try anything to get the info she needs on Love. 2) I think we all come to the point where we can't take anymore -- whatever "it" may be -- and I think Emma has reached that point. She really doesn't care anymore what happens to her in many ways and so she's finally willing to sell out on Love. 3) (NT) -- Carla, 08:16:54 09/12/07 Wed

• Chapter 14) Q. 2. Olie surprised me, too, as did Hallbjorn. How far Love can reach is demonstrated here, and to me further justifies Pamela taking such a drastic course as to sleep with Love in order to get rid of him. There literally would be nowhere safe for them to run in the world, never mind America or Ireland if Love was free. Q2. Working on a fishing boat is dangerous at the best of times, so I think Casey would have brushed any accidents or near-misses off as part of the job. Also, he was so miserable and worried about Pamela, that he probably wasn't as observant as he would normally be. Q4) No, I haven't seen the Northern Lights, but would love to, definitely one of those "Things to Do Before You Die". (NT) -- Carla, 08:21:32 09/12/07 Wed
  • I agree with pretty much all Carla has said. I would like to add that, while they are in Boston, Casey always felt a bit 'off-balance' to me, really out of his comfort zone and element--never more so than on the boat!!! (NT) -- LadyPeggyB, 09:24:49 09/12/07 Wed
    • Casey really was truly out of his element on this side of the pond, as well as literally while he was on the pond. That's enough to take the edge of even the best of men, such as Casey. A person who is formidable in their own environment is often off their game in unfamiliar -- physically, socially and psychologically -- territory. (NT) -- Carla, 09:38:19 09/12/07 Wed
    • And if I didn't know our Casey from EU, I may not have liked him in Boston. He was sulky and being walked on by everyone. I'm glad he makes a triumphant return soon, (NT) -- JaneH, 10:26:47 09/12/07 Wed
      • Excellent point! (NT) -- LadyPeggyB, 10:47:06 09/12/07 Wed
  • Ditto on the "Things to Do Before You Die". Want to go together? (NT) -- JaneH, 10:22:40 09/12/07 Wed
  • Fully agree with you about the length of Haggerty's reach. I don't think there would've been anyplace truly safe for them if Pamela and Casey had just taken off somewhere together. They'd have been constantly looking over their shoulders. (NT) -- Elaine, 10:54:52 09/12/07 Wed
  • Carla, you don't have to travel too far north to see the aurora borealis, I've seen it in southern Alberta several times. Not super colourful, but still dancing lights. (NT) -- Denise, 11:47:44 09/12/07 Wed
    • They can also be seen in Minnesota. More distinct in the Boundary Waters area naturally. (NT) -- Elaine, 11:50:24 09/12/07 Wed
    • I'm sure if I went far enough north in Ontario I could see them, as well. It's just a matter of actually doing all that bloody driving to get there and dealing with the fact that it's generally cold as hell, and I really don't do very well in extreme cold :) (NT) -- Carla, 15:19:33 09/12/07 Wed

• #3. I think Love let Emma's son stay as ransom- she did what he wanted her to or else the kid gets it. But in this case it backfired- she found, through Pamela, a way to remove that fear from her life. (NT) -- susiej, 12:03:38 09/12/07 Wed

• 14.1- Yes the dream is significant to what is about to happen, because Deirdre is waking him up- it's about waking up to what's happening more than the physical waking. 14.3 It's what Carla said, unless he was totally aware that the acts seemed deliberate, he'd chalk it up to the dangers of fishing. It's considered one of the most dangerous occupations in the world. 14.4- Yes, I've seen the Northern Lights. They take your breath away every time. If cold weather allows you to see it, then I've seen it!! (NT) -- celtgirl, 15:40:03 09/12/07 Wed

• Well call me a dumbass because Olie just took me bysurprise,didn't see that coming at all. Love Denise's point, the boy wasn't himself here the whole fish out of water thing, so nice to see him return strong and familiar. (NT) -- Sheila, 07:09:32 09/13/07 Thu
  • Thanks for the credit Sheila, but I think it was Carla and Peggy who made that point! *g* (NT) -- Denise, 10:05:25 09/13/07 Thu
