Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ms Southworth" data-source="post: 86082" data-attributes="member: 312">Excellent update about Sue Ellen and Pam! <img src="http://www.allsmileys.com/files/sweetim-communicate/6278.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":best:" title="Best    :best:" data-shortname=":best:" />  I especially loved the depth of Sue Ellen's thoughts and also the heartfelt conversation between two former sister-in-laws!  <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/shappy_clap_100-101.gif?w=150&h=133"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":clap:" title="Clap    :clap:" data-shortname=":clap:" />  I give this scene a full scoreboard! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/fun/m0157.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":dance:" title="Dance    :dance:" data-shortname=":dance:" />The first five sentences were amazing! Sue Ellen's thoughts make sense in a crazy sort of way! But alcohol is only going to make her temporarily forget about her problems! I'm so happy that Pam came in when she did! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Although it's not funny at all, I did chuckle a bit when I read this part:  <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/smileyslaughing_lol_hehe_100-102.gif?w=145&h=150"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle    :giggle:" data-shortname=":giggle:" />"Sue Ellen could feel her cheeks get flushed as she was so embarrassed to have been caught with the drink. “Oh you mean this?” Sue Ellen showed her the glass. “It’s nothing. I was just getting a drink for Miss Ellie…” Sue Ellen gave Pam the drink. “Here you can have it!” Pam smelled it and made a face, “Nice try Sue Ellen, but Miss Ellie doesn’t drink vodka!”.  “Alright, I admit it. I poured that drink for me. But I didn’t drink it, I swear.”I love Pam's ability to tell that Sue Ellen is in trouble and in need of serious help and a lot of love and care! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/babe/k05142.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":kiss:" title="Kiss    :kiss:" data-shortname=":kiss:" />Funny how they shared their experiences about divorcing the same man twice! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/babe/k05164.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":jolly:" title="Jolly    :jolly:" data-shortname=":jolly:" />  On one hand, it's very natural to share your own experiences when you're talking to a friend, but I think that Pam talked too much about herself here rather than really listen to Sue Ellen! Pam should have let Sue Ellen collect her thoughts here and there and accept silence during the talk once in a while! A difficult task, but it can be done! But on the other hand, I also think that Pam sharing her experiences helped Sue Ellen reflect upon the issues she has to face!Very clever statements:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">“You’re right, it doesn’t make much sense, but then again I guess love never does!”</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">“Yeah if you really love someone you hurt when they are hurting”</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">“Definitely, and you hurt when you can’t be with them and they are happy with someone else too…”</li> </ul>I got a good laugh out of the description of Cally! :lolo:  “She was a sweet young thing who looked like she was about 12!” <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/smileyslaughing_lol_hehe_100-102.gif?w=145&h=150"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle    :giggle:" data-shortname=":giggle:" />Oh, how I love this:  “Well Jenna might have been his first love, but you must know that you are the love of his life.” <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/babe/k05142.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":kiss:" title="Kiss    :kiss:" data-shortname=":kiss:" /><img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/babe/k05142.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":kiss:" title="Kiss    :kiss:" data-shortname=":kiss:" /><img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/babe/k05142.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":kiss:" title="Kiss    :kiss:" data-shortname=":kiss:" />I think that I understand Sue Ellen's confusion a bit better now:   “I mean it all happened so fast and I’m not sure I’m doing the right thing.”  <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/shappy_clap_100-101.gif?w=150&h=133"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":clap:" title="Clap    :clap:" data-shortname=":clap:" />But then again, Pam does have a point: “Because I don’t want to see you make the same mistake I did. So if you love him I think you should try to work out your problems.”   :wink@And then all of a sudden, JR was included in the "equation":  “Because it’s safer to stay married to him. I mean as long as I am, JR can’t…. ... ...  I kissed him, Pam.”  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />   It's no wonder Pam was shocked, not once but twice <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />I fully agree with Pam that Sue Ellen under the circumstances needs to set up a meeting with Don! They need to talk things out! Not to make up, but to clear the air between them so to speak! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/babe/k0512.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":gotcha:" title="Gotcha    :gotcha:" data-shortname=":gotcha:" />Oh Sue Ellen! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />   Not knowing which hotel Don is staying at in New York City is no excuse for not trying to get ahold of him! :mo:   And for Sue Ellen to change the subject by dragging John Ross into the conversation, makes absolutely no sense!  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite12" alt="o_O" title="Er... what?    o_O" loading="lazy" data-shortname="o_O" />Like I said earlier, I agree with Pam:  “No buts, you need to talk to Don…”   <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/misc/m0719.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hat:" title="Hat    :hat:" data-shortname=":hat:" />    “Good, then just remember that a leopard never loses its spots”!  Great expression! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />However, I'm not sure that I completely agree with Pam's closing "statement" of this amazing scene:  “No buts, no matter how much JR says he’s changed, we both know that he hasn’t and that he never will. Because once a JR, always a JR!”. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/think/m1703.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":think:" title="Think    :think:" data-shortname=":think:" />   Sue Ellen is a big girl, and she needs to make her own decisions about her life ... ... and about what man she wants to spend her time with! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/girls/m04127.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":spinning:" title="Spinning    :spinning:" data-shortname=":spinning:" />Totally amazing scene! <img src="http://www.allsmileys.com/files/sweetim-communicate/6278.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":best:" title="Best    :best:" data-shortname=":best:" />  I can't wait to see what happens next!   <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/sbowing_100-109.gif?w=150&h=102"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bowing" title="Bowing    :bowing" data-shortname=":bowing" />   Please update soon! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/babe/k05164.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":jolly:" title="Jolly    :jolly:" data-shortname=":jolly:" /></blockquote>
