Great chapter, Judy! I know Bobby is not going to cheat on his wife that he loves and adores, even if he does miss having sex! Right?

Off this topic but, cluck I missed you so much!!! Glad my friend is back!!!

I'll try to keep this in mind but if the writer's kill Mikey off, I'm not sure what I'd be able to do with that one. I can work around anything else though.



Thanks, cluck. Glad you had time to check in and read. How's it going at your dad's?

(You'll have to wait for chapter 7 to see what Bobby does....)



We can never be off topic up here, KRod, that's one of our unwritten rules. cluck's at her dad's for the month helping him redecorate if I recall correctly so she can only check in every so often.

Miss Judyg, I recall you telling me that now. I seem to forget so easily. Pardon me judyg, you're so kind!

I just reread my post and it was meant to say that we are free to talk about anything we want to up here at anytime - you can't be off topic cuz we don't have a topic to stick too. We also have magic fridges, a magic ATM and big comfy sofas to relax on.

YOU don't have to kill him off if you don't want to, no matter what the show does. Just stick that off in an Alternate Universe where Mikey isn't dead, and write the story anyway.

I'll be glad to share my money tree in my yard as well!

This is true, isn't it? Since I've got Goren happily married with twins....



That's where my money tree got to - my son keeps looking for it but can't find it anywhere!

No problem Lil Sis.



Hi cluck! We missed you!



Thanks, K-Rod!

::climbs tree::

::falls on butt::

Any LOW branches on that tree?



I know Logan can live on in fanfic, but it won't FEEL the same if they kill the character off.

I can sure shimmy a tree fast enough if I have too! Especially when it comes to cash!

::Flashymom walks in with chainsaw and cuts that sucker down!::

Hey don't clean on my account. My house is very cluttered and NOT clean. I don't have the time. When you work 45-50 hours a week, there just isn't enough time in the day for it.



I have never quoted myself before. This is a first. See the bold in my post. I wouldn't make it to your house, much less IN. I would end up in CA or FL or somewhere other than IN. I have no directional skills.

Oh hey, you're coming to CA? Swing by and pick me up and I'll go with you! Alright--road trip!

Then our money tree would be history!

Yeah, but you could get the money off the branches, and it will grow back..........

Can you navigate? If you can navigate me to IN, I'll have to remember I am going to IN so I can end up in CA though. Make sense. I am strange.

Sure. I always get where I'm going, although I often take the REALLY scenic route. As long as time is not an issue, we'll be fine.

Sounds like ya'll could use a gps system in the car you use.....

Ok, scenic route sounds great.



Yeah I probably could use a gps. I thought it came with the car when you bought it. You can buy it extra. Well, don't think I can afford it anyway.

But that takes all the adventure out of it.

Don't clean on my account, either. I have 2 doggs and 2 catts in a trailer.

I just thought with the price of gas and all... I forgot you're navigationally-challenged, cifan.



Indeed, we don't need no stinkin' GPS units.

OK then, how about if Bobby serves as the map-reader/navigator?

::ciaddict races upstairs and throws a few things in suitcase and races back downstairs, out the door, and out to the sidewalk, where she looks anxiously up and down the street::

I'm ready! Where are they? Ooh, is that Bobby? No. Is that? No. How about that one? No. Sigh.... I hope they get here soon.

wait a minute. . . .I'm gone for 8 hours and we've got a road trip planned????? When do we leave?

We might keep him too busy to navigate.



Whenever Bobby gets here.

ohhh, who is he picking up first?

ME!

Ooh Bobby as navigator. Very nice. I like that. I guess I better get ready. Does that mean I need to call in and take the day off tomorrow? Probably. ::calls work, packs a suitcase, runs outside and waits for Bobby::



I get busy with things and he's picking you up first. Is that geographically correct? Where is Bobby coming from? Shouldn't he pick up who he comes to first? Are you first geographically? Am I confusing you?

Bobby's climbing out of the money tree for the funds needed!

It doesn't matter where Bobby is coming from, I get picked up first. And then we'll see if we can make time to find the rest of you.

Don't wait up.

Hey, no fair. ::picks up suitcase and goes back inside for the night:: Guess I'll go to work tomorrow.

I've read so many stories lately that I had to go back and read the whole story from the beginning - I had trouble remembering parts of the storyline. Each chapter is great, but to go back and read every chapter all at once, and I'm struck anew by how much I like this story.

::watches spook fall on butt and can't help laughing:: - sorry sis, can't help myself.

I have a hard time with the thought of Logan being killed off, too...























If all these people are making a road trip to my house - can you send some of that cash my way so I can buy some groceries?

HEY! How does that work? You weren't ever really coming to my house were you?!! It was all a ploy just to get Bobby all to yourself!! ::wishes I'd thought of it first::



I think we can all go to work, cifan - spook seems to have planned this situation to her advantage.



Hi, Kat! Thank you so much for the kind words. I've become very attached to Bobby and Charli. I'm so grateful of everyone who's been so supportive. I'm glad you're enjoying it.




Thanks, Enaka! I'm not sure about the Goldblum angle. Loved him in Jurassic Park & Independence Day but I've grown attached to Logan and really am not looking forward to the addition of a new character on LOCI.

Ok Judyg! I'll shake the sugar tree for groceries, and cypher gas out of spook's car to get there! Maybe I can pretend to buy a car and take it for a test run, poof, gone on a road trip! Better use a hybrid car.

I have a hard time thinking of Mike being ki.......well, you know.

Don't worry about groceries, I'm bringing tacos and cheesecake. That's all we need, right?

Since I suggested Bobby be the navigator, he's renting a 15 passenger van and coming by MY home first!

I have my ice chest all packed with Dr. Pepper and ice......it and my bag are already waiting at the curb. I'm packing light; I'll buy what I need as we go.....

Let's all eat!!!!

It'll need to be a BIG hybrid car. There are a lot of ladies coming - and I'm not sure why I'm so happy about that. If I recall correctly, I'm the one who's in trouble!



Tacos and cheesecake and FM's bringing the Dr. Pepper - who could ask for more?



I think you need to work that situation out with spook and Bobby. Ummmm.....where are spook and Bobby? Anybody seen them since last night?



We'll have to wait and see what happens on LOCI - I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they let Logan live happily ever after.

I really don't think they will you know, Logan will probably lose his job. We all know Logan has a temper, except when he's with all of us!!!

They can't kill Logan off, that's just insane. He will probably just leave...(so he can spend more time with you girls .)

May I join you girls? I brought strawberry milkshakes.

Oh hey, Enaka!! ::waves back::

Are we the only ones here?

Aw, okay. Maybe I'll join you, I like SVU, too.

Have fun everybody.

::Spook and Bobby pull up to the curb in the 15 passenger hybrid van. Bobby gets out and places fm's ice chest and bag in the back::

Bobby: Hey, fm! I see you're ready. I've got your stuff all packed. Where is everybody else?

fm: They got tired of waiting and left. Some went to the SVU threads, some went looking for you and spook and I don't know where the others went. We ready? Off we go!

::Spook is in the driver's seat, Bobby is shotgun, so FM climbs in behind Bobby and starts giving him a neck rub::

You mean I got left behind?! OK, I'm going to have to call Dr. Olivet for an appointment. I feel all this childhood stuff coming up about how I always got left at Grandma's house while my parents and sisters went camping every year. They said it was because I got car sick in the mountains. But I knew it was just cause they wanted to have fun without me. And now I've been left behind again. ::sits down on curb and starts own little pity party::

You're ONLY in trouble if Bobby kisses Trisha, Lil Sis.

Bobby and I got busy last night. Er, I mean - we were preoccupied. We'll pick everyone up this weekend!

FM, I can use a neck rub too when you're done with Bobby. What do you mean, you won't ever be done with Bobby?



No sweat, ciaddict! I won't forget you! FM and I will head your way after we pick up cifan. Who else are we stuffin' in this fan to take to JudyG's place?

::sniffs and wipes tears:: I get to go? Yay!

Well, Grandson is coming to spend the night tonight. So after I take him home tomorrow I will probably sleep in the back seat for the whole trip. Oh, more childhood memories! I didn't get to go camping, but I did get to go on whatever other trip they planned during vacation (a week of camping for Dad, a week of doing something else "civilized" for Mom). And I always alternated reading and sleeping for the whole trip. I'll be sure to bring my book!

Of COURSE you get to go, ciaddict. It wouldn't be as fun without the whole gang!

You're gonna read a BOOK when BOBBY is in the van?

::checks ciaddict's temperature::

Well, if he's driving I don't want to um....distract him. But if someone takes over driving for a while, he can join me in the back seat and I'll put my book away and.....well, never mind.

Yay I get to ride in a fan. Of course that is a typo. I know we're going in a van but I just had to call you out on that cuz I just couldn't stop laughing when I read it.

Yay I get to go. ::picks suitcase back up and gets ready to go:: Oh yeah, I HAVE to work tomorrow but I can blow off the reunion on Sunday. You know I could care less. But first XF movie. Hooray. Maybe I could blow off work too.
