Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karin" data-source="post: 102331" data-attributes="member: 57167">Thank you everyone for the feedback on my story. It's much appreciated as always. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Ms Southworth, thank you for congratulating me on the 60 000 views. Wow! It really sounds like a lot. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />You know I don't think they sell porridge boxes in the super market over here either. You have to buy the ingredients and make your own. But well I guess when we wrote this we thought kind of like if you buy a corn flakes box and collect the cupons to get a treat. But we didn't want to make it corn flakes boxes as it's funnier with porridge. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0208.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="lol    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />I'm really glad that you could relate to Mitch's POV.Well I'd say they are of medium lenght. Not long but there are some even shorter updates... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Seems like you are in luck as today's update is both longer and does "set the stage" for the rest of the episode... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Sanda, I also miss the original Dallas, so I am glad that you think this story stays true to it. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />It's true that Mitch is acting like the responsible adult in this situation whereas Lucy tried to hard to act like John Ross' friend...Anyway on to today's update: Christopher knocked on John Ross door, “John Ross, are you up?” When there was no answer he opened the door and whistled at the funky smell inside.John Ross pulled his pillow over his head mumbling, “What do you want?”“It’s time to get up!”“Just ten more minutes.”“John Ross it’s eleven o’clock. People are wondering where you are!”“Sleeping,” John Ross mumbled.“Yeah well grandma told me to wake you. I would have been here sooner if cousin Lucy hadn’t said you needed to sleep.”“Um…” John Ross tired head popped up from under the pillow. “What else did she say?”“That she took you out for coffee after the movie so it got real late.”“Good old cousin Lucy,” John Ross smiled before he touched his forehead grinning badly.“What’s wrong with you?” Christopher asked.John Ross sighed, “I’ve got a hung-over man. Can you keep your voice down?” Christopher looked questioning at John Ross, “Were you drinking at the club?”John Ross sighed, “Well I hadn’t planned on it. But Paula bought me a few drinks!” John Ross explained. “I couldn’t say no!” Christopher shook his head, “You’re crazy.”“Just crazy about her,” John Ross said. “Oh and by the way she’s coming to your party on Saturday.”“Really?!” Christopher looked surprised. “She’s coming here?” John Ross nodded and Christopher looked confused. “But I thought she didn’t like the Ewings.”“Well she like this Ew…” John Ross face turned white as the truth dawned on him! If Paula comes to Chris party she will find out who my parents are and then I can surely kiss her goodbye! John Ross swallowed. “Oh no!” John Ross groaned. “What am I gonna do?” John Ross panicked. “She can’t see my parents!”“Well I don’t know how you’re gonna avoid it unless you dress them out!”John Ross snapped his fingers. “That’s it. Chris you’re gonna have a masquerade.”Christopher looked at John Ross like he had completely lost his mind. “No way I don’t want any dorky masquerade.”“Oh come on man. It’s the only way I can keep Paula from recognizing my dad as J.R Ewing. Please?” John Ross begged. Christopher sighed, “All right, I’ll ask my parents.”“Thanks man.”“Sure.” Christopher turned to leave but then he stopped saying, “Wait a minute. You said that I was your brother. I’m not gonna play your brother on my birthday party!”“All right I’ll tell her I mixed things up and that you are my cousin, happy?”“Yeah, but what am I gonna be dressed as?” Christopher asked. “I don’t want to look like a dork!”“Just dress up as a cowboy,” John Ross said.“Good idea I’ll do that.”“Yeah, yeah whatever!” John Ross said unenthusiastically and as Christopher left the room he pulled the pillow back over his head intending to sleep at least another hour!</blockquote>
