<blockquote data-quote="Karin" data-source="post: 78488" data-attributes="member: 57167">Thank you everyone for the detailed feedback on my story. I always enjoy reading all of your comments. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile&nbsp; &nbsp; :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />You make a very good point Presea. I guess the problem is that since I am much younger than Sue Ellen, even the age she is in this story which is 48, I don&#039;t particularly know how a woman her age feels when it comes to love. I mean does love feel the same at all ages or does the feelings change as you grow older?It&#039;s simply impossible for me to know as I don&#039;t have that life experience. What I do know however is that certain things does feel different as you grow older. For instance I am in my 30&#039;s and I was on a roller coaster for the first time in 15 years earlier this month and well I hadn&#039;t been on that particular roller coaster since I was 13 and well I found the experience to be much different as I remember having more of a thrill and feeling of excitement in my stomach when I was 13 than I did now.Even with love I find it&#039;s somewhat different from how it was when I was a teenager, as the emotions seemed to be more intense back then. At least that&#039;s the way I remember it. But it is possible to still get butterflies in my stomach at my age. So maybe it&#039;s still possible to feel that way when you are in your late 40&#039;s too.Then as for John Ross and JR&#039;s shit eating grins. I think I picked up that expression from some friends from the board many years ago. They are Americans and they used the expression in relation to JR and John Ross so I figured it was an okay description for their smiles. Ironically though in the first draft of the story JR&#039;s smile is simply referred to as his evil grin.Of course Sue Ellen knows John Ross wants her to get back together with JR. That&#039;s why she tried to set the record straight and told him that it would never happen.Miss Texas 1967, yes it&#039;s been lost in translation as in Swedish language the expression is wash not air. <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/smileyslaughing_lol_hehe_100-102.gif?w=145&amp;h=150"&nbsp; class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle&nbsp; &nbsp; :giggle:" data-shortname=":giggle:" />Yeah Lucy was involved in making the movie too. She spoke with Don and also helped with the casting of Mitch.Good point about Bobby and Pam acting like they were still married already. So it makes sense for them to make it legal again.Your analysis of Sue Ellen and her feelings for JR are spot on. That&#039;s exactly like it is. Except I think a part of her has never stopped loving him even. So it&#039;s not just a physical thing.I think you&#039;ll be happy to read that Bobby and Pam will spend more time with their kids from now on... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile&nbsp; &nbsp; :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />And yeah JR sure is happy to be off butler duty! :rlol:John Ross is a teenager, but yeah I agree with you that he is acting like a total jerk when it comes to Melissa. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown&nbsp; &nbsp; :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />Ms Southworth, yeah that&#039;s what I meant. Most of my friends have kids by now and only a few of them are married. So I think society has really changed that way as if you go back a generation I think most people got married before they had kids.I&#039;m glad you liked Sue Ellen and John Ross conversation. I think the reason John Ross doesn&#039;t want to call Melissa and apologize is because he doesn&#039;t think it will accomplish anything since he realizes that he&#039;s blown it with her.Good point about JR/SE. Luckily in real life couples that are that dysfunctional do end up getting divorced and staying divorced in most cases. But well since it&#039;s a soap opera of course we want a happy ending for JR/SE. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink&nbsp; &nbsp; ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Okay so now it&#039;s time for another update: Bobby and Pam’s were still asleep when the door suddenly flung open and into the room ran Rebecca. “Yeah you’re back!” Rebecca screamed happily as she jumped up into her parents’ bed and started to shake them to wake them up.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Rebecca what are you doing up so early?” Pam asked.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “It’s not early. Everyone else is already at the breakfast table, so grandma sent me up to fetch you,” Rebecca smiled happily.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “She did now, did she?” Bobby sighed.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yes, so have you missed me?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah I’ve missed you lots, come here so I can give you a hug,” Pam smiled.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Sure mommy, I’ve missed you too,” Rebecca replied, as she hugged Pam. “You too daddy,” Rebecca said as she gave Bobby a hug too.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “So did you have a good time when we were away?” Pam asked.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yes, I’ve had a great time,” Rebecca smiled. “I have a great family here at Southfork, just like you said I did mommy.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “That’s great.

That doesn’t sound like JR at all,” Pam said confused.“Well he can be nice, but I am a bit surprised too,” Bobby replied.“Yeah, are you sure we’re talking about the same uncle JR?” Pam said skeptically.“Of course,” Rebecca nodded.“So it sounds like you two really have had some time to bond when we were away?”“Yeah,” Rebecca smiled. “Oh and Aunt Sue Ellen’s been great too, she tucked me in and read me bedtime stories and so has grandma and cousin Lucy took us roller skating.”“That’s great, so I take it you really like it here at Southfork then?” Bobby asked.“Yeah I love it here!” Rebecca beamed.“So you wouldn’t be sad if we were to stay here after the summer’s over then?” Pam asked.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “What do you mean?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I mean if we moved here and lived here instead of in Los Angeles,” Pam elaborated.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Does that mean I’ll never see my things at home again?” Rebecca asked.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “No we’ll move your things here,” Pam replied.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “But what about my friends?” Rebecca asked.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “You won’t see them as much, but you could write e-mails to each other or talk on the phone and go visit each other,” Bobby said.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah and we’d all live here as a family, you, me, Christopher and your daddy,” Pam said.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Would you like that?”&nbsp; Bobby asked.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Does that mean I’ll get to see you every day?” Rebecca asked.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yes and the rest of my family too,” Bobby confirmed.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well if that’s so, I’d like that very much,” Rebecca smiled.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Good then it’s decided.
