"I thought we agreed on amnesty" THAT is a great idea. Clear the air, make way for happy times. JAMnesty.
Author's Response: JAMnesty! Perfect! Now why don't you write fics again? Oh yeah, you're a genius with PS. I think you could do both - just sayin'! Thanks lisahoo!

Oh man!!! What a great chapter!!! That's the perfect cliff hanger ending too. I am really enjoying this story! Great job!!

I've been on board with the Jell-O wrestling for months now.
Author's Response: Mud, Jello, oil - I'm sure you'd approve of any Pam/Karen wrestling! So do you think Pam would overpower Karen or is Ms. Fancy Pants too scrappy? Hmmmmm. Thanks for reviewing!

Starting with the last...another perfect final line. (And, not rushing things? Alone with him? You are such a tease.)
This has such a great balance of fluff and substance - just enough meaningful convo to make it feel like them and acknowledge how they got there. Glad they talked - at least a little - about Roy's attempted smack down. Cause...come on, that has to still be hanging there in the air. Love the restaurant (want to go there NOW,) love: 'It cleanses the palate!' Love that Pam likes burning stuff (ahem?) Not to mention the evil underwater lair..guess I just love funny, free, assertive Pam. Unlike Jim's recent dates, indeed. How much more fun is watching them together going to be than his endless blah-fest with Fancy Pants?
As usual, there's a great pacing to this that just pulls you along. And hooray for bringing the fluff without a side of cutesy. Just how I like it. Now stop with this having a life nonsense, and write the next chapter ;-)
Author's Response:
Okay, I don't think they're rushing at all but that Pam's just getting used to this new honest and open way of life so you know she'd be thinking about going slow. And our boy Jim is a gentleman and let's not forget he's been burned before so caution might be the word du jour. Or the bad memories could all dissolve in the alcoholic frenzy of suffering bastards and mai tais! I'm not sayin' just yet!
I'm glad you liked the pacing - I just feel like they'd have a bit of fun, then some burning question would arise, then they'd need a bit more fun to offset the angst. Honesty with a slow reveal, I guess you'd say! Thanks for coming along on the ride, you, and I promise to keep you satisfied and smilin'! Of course, TWSS.... ;-)

OMG - it totally sounds like Pam and Jim ended up here: http://www.kahiki.com/about-us/supper-club.aspx
The Kahiki was a landmark restaurant in columbus - I was fortunate enough to get there before it closed. And it looks like Pam and Jim were too!
I like that he asked her why she did the coal walk. :-)
Now I'm wishing my weekend away looking forward to the next chapter! Good Job, as always!
Author's Response:
I didn't plan on it being this restaurant (and yes, your link probably nails it on the head!) I think I just wanted Pam to have a drink in a pineapple for some reason. I LOVE me some funky retro tiki a la Trader Vic's and that sort of thing and I thought it might be kind of fun for them to have a low key dinner. There's probably not one within miles of Scranton but that's why they call it fiction!
Thanks much and I hope your weekend doesn't pass by TOO quickly! You can let your imagination fill in the rest of the date for a few days and then see how close you are to my version after! Or you could just keep writing your own wonderful fics to pass the time. I seem to remember you have 17 ideas going! ;-)
