I'm really enjoying reading all of the intertwined stories in the New World. Oh and I just felt for poor Santa. All that work he did handing out presents. And nobody there to give him a little holiday thank you kiss under the mistletoe? Awe, tell me you ladies will have some sweet girl give him a well-deserved kiss on New Year's Eve. : )

Hope yours was great too, Rose.
Em... seems that someone wants to kiss sweet Ralph... but not sure he will really appreciate it, poor man! Anyway, I hope he knows that all the girls in the New World are already secretly in love with him. ![]() |

And there's always New Year's Eve, right? When every lonely guy can hope for at least one kiss. And every lonely woman can hope the right guy is the one under the mistletoe.

Ladies and gents - you are all doing such a great job and I'm always entertained big time here, but one Mr. Richie Roberts' last reply to Uma in the tub came totally out of the blue. Therefore I have not been prepared and just spit my ginger ale all over the bed (and the cat who is now mortally offended). This one cracked me up big time and man I just hope it won't come back to me at unappopriate times and I start giggling in the middle of a job interview or at customs at an airport.
I don't think they'd understand even if I would try to explain. Thanks for a good one Richie. (Still trying to get the burn of the ginger ale out of my nose) PS: Things between Lily and Cort are getting very interesting ![]() "...and leaves me still in love with you. (My hand, my heart)" |

Re: New World | ||

Benny you are just sooooo bad. Which makes you so hot, baby.
And then there's Ralph of course who wears those black clothes better than anyone else. *whispers so Ralph can't hear Okay, except for Terry maybe. And Richie is so very nice to look at and read too...oh and Skinner of course... But then again there is wet East..woohoo. And Clarity on a a horse!!!!! Those pics are so good. Loved the one with Clarity and East riding. Steve and Tulip crack me up. Now there's an accident waiting to happen - or has it already? Am I the only one who goes all mushy over Bud? Love it all! ![]() "...and leaves me still in love with you. (My hand, my heart)" |

Whew. Bad boys. We love 'em, don't we? But is there one who's unredeemable? Ben's just so very bad but are there layers that will make him, as Evans wife said, not what we expected?
Ralph's so happy to still be here. And I'm so happy everyone's good with him being here. He does look awful good in black. I'm loving Richie. Especially that remark as he stands considering his entry into Uma's bathtub. That killed me! And then the image of him disentangling himself from another bedmate when Uma calls him to come help her. Whew! I don't know why but that is just such a visceral image. I was picturing where my eyes would be staring if East were wet from the waist down. Our good sweet thaing Clarity, though, she kept her thoughts and eyes rather chaste. But now they're both wet. Hmmmm. Wonder if East is as chaste a looker as she? Something tells me not! I loved Kathy taking matters into her own hands -- she's such a lovely creation. She and Nash together are adorable and complicated -- it works so well. I'm falling back in love with Bud -- was I ever out of it? Nah, not really, but this is making me all mushy. He would be so good for Franki -- if she can only let him. And will he find compassion for her when he realizes her background? I can't imagine he won't -- this is a man who loved Lynn no matter what precisely because he saw beyond 'what' she was to 'who' she was. You know, it kills me watching Steve try to not totally screw everything up with Tulip. It is hilarious. |

Oh my, that huge rush of posts for the poker game...Wow! Just what I needed. What an exciting game. Awe, but poor Cort losing his money. I'll have to invite him for dinner a couple of nights to make up for it.
Kathy, what a good *smack* you delivered to that mouthy jerk! I heard it all the way over hear. Good onya sweetie! ![]() "Have a heart that never hardens, a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts." -Charles Dickens |

Re: New World | ||

Hey Rose, what an interesting start. Can't wait to see how Terry tries to help her out.
Oh yes, Kathy slapped poor Gene. I tried to stop her but it was already too late. I like him so much but my character does whatever she wants. She's terrible that way. She's usually very friendly and easy going but he must have caught her on the wrong foot. Or maybe it's pms? ![]() "...and leaves me still in love with you. (My hand, my heart)" |

Re: New World | ||

Franki! That pat on Gene's behind was so funny. And Bud had a little talk with him too. Man - I really feel for the poor man.
Clarity - those pictures and your last posts are so good. The sugar bowl made me laugh. And of course the pics of East make me drool - I have to watch that movie again. Can't wait for what will happen next. I have to admit that I peeked at East a little too ![]() "...and leaves me still in love with you. (My hand, my heart)" |

Re: New World | ||

At least I can find some quiet time to read and post a few comments, both about the last stories, and the board. I still have many things to read, but I'm getting there, slowly but surely.
You want to watch East's movie again, Kathy? Then my job is done! LOL! I fully agree with Ann, that Clarity is a silly goose (I know you didn't say that, but I do!) but will she resist the powerful appeal of that young wild brumby? I want to know too. (Ooops, I forgot it's me!). Yet, there is the sheriff sigh! But there are so many more interesting stories in our new world! Let's see okay, I love them all so I'm going to mention them randomly. I'm eager to know what's coming next for all these characters. The poker game, of course! Please don't let us hang too long! We want to know who's going to win that battle of not only cards, but minds. Ben Wade, Max Skinner, Uma, Ann if any of them if going to win at all! I love the interactiong between these four! As for poor Cort and Dino don't we say: unlucky (unhappy) with games, lucky with love? Thats all I wish for them both! And for Ralph too! So, when is he going to find Miss perfect who will give that sweet man the happiness he deserves, at last? Our Kathy is sure testing Nashie's patience, in every funny ways she can find! But when it comes to her, his patience is (almost) endless, he obviously loves her so much! I can't wait to see them both discover England! And poor Gene has learned the hard way that this sweet woman also has a temper! Yeah! So funny! Terry and Grace. What a fascinating start! Welcome to our strange world, Grace! Just watch out... Miss LeSaint has sharp nails and tongue, and certain courage, as Maximus has already found out. Another interesting encounter that leaves me wanting more. What is it with strong women (well, both strong and fragile deep inside) being attracted by men they first hate! But what men! And what women! I love it! Franki's relationships with all the different men around her are really great to read too. After the best outlaw (or worst?), she's meeting the best cop! Wow! Let's not forget Richie, Nola, Cullen and Jack Corbett. What are they up too now? And Lily how can she resist, working with all these handsome men! Speaking about Jack what is going on with Jack and Angel? We want to know! Oh, and Steve and Tulip! Irresistible! Will clumsy Steve manage to find his way to Tulip's heart or at least breakfast? Paul, always the good friend lucky Jeff and Joey! Did I forget someone? I hope not, for, I think you got it, I enjoy so much each of the New World threads! Thanks to everyone for making of it such a wonderful place! What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well. - Antoine de Saint-Exupery - |

Chiming in on the entry of Grace -- I like following Grace's thoughts because they seem so real to me. I think in her position, I'd be so confused about so much that it'd be hard to really think strategically. Like her, Terry would be the key to everything -- the one person who can make her feel sane again because he knows she's real, but also the one person who makes her realize she's on totally shaky ground if she's stepped out of a book -- I mean, stepped out of a book? Who'd know what to do when you find that out. That's another thing that fascinates me -- it makes me look back at the men and appreciate the difficulty for them to step out of a movie and find themselves with no foundation in this new place.
I'm also glad Grace isn't so shallow she's going to just swoon into Terry's arms (though I'd be using it as an excuse meself. LOL!) -- and she's great how she wants to stand on her own but also must admit she needs help. And Terry. Swoon. What a guy -- even totally cynical about life and love, he's showing his true self is the man who can fake it to help a woman. Kinda like in POL to me. Clarity and East. Hmmm hhhh mmmmm. We shall see, we shall see. Glad y'all like the poker game. I just love how convoluted all the relationships got in that one night. LOL! And I loved Clarity bringing over the martini. Priceless! |

The Poker Game is absolutely great. Too bad it's over. Learned to play during Christmas time while at the chalet. Four adults, four children, we had a blast and now I know what people are talking about!
God I love to hate Wade! Twisted and devilish, he makes us squirm when we expect it the less. Ann is just the right match for him And Skinner? Poor guy. He should've declared his flame before Uma stepped on his heart... I'm more and more in awe of how Clarity uses Photoshop. Fortunately my new job offers free courses. I just need to convince my boss that they are useful in my job. Then I might surpass Clarity in this life...or the next! Grace, it's a comfort to know someone is made for Terry. Not sure Sophie can bring him what he desperately needs... Franki and Bud: I wonder how and when he'll discover who she really is. We are in for some fireworks <rubbing my hands> Kathy cracks me up! And makes me hungry with her delicious pastries. When will she edit a cooking book??? |

Re: New World | ||

Well...? Oh for crying out loud! Do you have to leave us hanging like this Uma? Gime that whip! I wanna know more! You know that even you can't stand the waiting anymore. Max is so cute in his very cocky way. Just step in, it's just a glas of cognac on his birthday. Nothing else will happen... And Sophie, I have to say Miss Ginger makes 'me' hungry with her cooking and baking.. A cookbook? What a great idea - I'll add it right to my list of jobs for her. Thanks! ![]() "...and leaves me still in love with you. (My hand, my heart)" |

Re: New World | ||

Glad that you liked the Martini joke, Ann I just couldn't resist! Just tell me that Ben is not really doing that to Ann!!!(and Ralph!)
Do you want us to sign a petition for your boss about Photoshop, Sophie? Thank you, my friend, but anyone can do better than I do I'm still laughing at this picture with a looking alike paper-doll Clarity stuck in poor East's arms on the horse! Ridiculous! But, well, that doesn't stop me from trying hard. After all, Picasso became famous also thanks to his cubist period, didn't he? (Not that I'm comparing in any way little me to Picasso! Even Little John has a better artistic sense than I do!) Speaking about Photoshop, look rather at what Kathy's doing with Nashie and Kathy! Isn't that great? By the way, Kathy, if you're looking for volunteers to taste the recipes of your future book, I'm in. (Little John says he is too). Uma, I agree with Kathy! You can't leave us and poor Max like that! As for Bud and Franki the movie with Penelope Cruz! Phew! And Terry. Involved with Grace and Sophie even if very differently, now that's a lucky man! Em... I hope!
