You're spoiling us with all the newness!! Important question - when are they going to give in and kiss again (for real)? Hee :)
Hope you're feeling better!!!
Author's Response:
All this feed back has definitely been the one bright side of feeling so crappy for the past two days! I'm so happy you're enjoying my new chapters! Not sure exactly when they'll get physical...
Thanks for taking the time to review!

Thanks so much for updating so soon! Three chapters in 2 days is quite impressive. I've had a massive writers block on my story for a YEAR so yeah...I'm pretty impressed that you manage to spit out these chapters quickly with such high quality of writing.
I'm eager to know what happens at the Guest Accommodations. One bed? *wink wink*
Oh! Also, I had an allergic reaction to makeup once. I put green tea bags on my face...so soothing. I highly reccommed it. Anyways, I hope you're at least starting to feel better! xoxo
Author's Response:
You're welcome! I really wasn't so creative that I spit these out in two days, though! I've been fighting with Friday Morning for a while now but I was still working on future chapters. Most of PDA at Lunch! was written a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks for the tea bag idea. I just might try that. I am happy to report that the prednisone is finally kicking in! Yesterday my husband told me that my face reminded him of the guy in Mask. Today he says I look almost normal. Like I said ... better living through chemistry!

Oh man! What excitement to find 3 (!!!) new chapters. I enjoy the premise, though I have to admit all the medical stuff is tough, but I like the scenario of putting these two together. Seems like some discussions are coming up. Thank you in advance for putting them in the same hotel room. :)
Author's Response: Thanks very much! You're welcome for the hotel room ... Couldn't be any other way, could it??

I'm really feeling totally spoiled for no reason-- three chapters in two days!!! So sorry that you're not feeling your best-- but your writing is amazing (as always!)!!!
Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! We'll see if I can spoil you again this weekend. I'm on a roll!

Another great chapter. As much as I want Jim and Pam together I love the fact that Pam is just there for Jim at this point. I totally trust your judgement on this story.
Author's Response: Thanks for the vote of confidence!

I'm sorry you're swollen and itchy, but I'm enjoying the frequent updates! Could we get a kiss here soon, please?
Author's Response:
Thank you! I'm afraid it might be a coupla more chapters till we get to the kissing department. Hopefully, I'll get the chapters up fast so it won't seem like such a long wait!
Thanks for taking the time to review! Makes my itchy day better!

While I feel horrible for you with the allergies (have had bad reactions in the past myself) I am thrilled that you got this story going again! Please keep the updates coming and I do hope you feel better soon!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I'm really going to try to be more timely in the update department! I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

I say the twice-rapping on the door jamb trumps any phone call to Karen.
And your misery is our gain in a twisted sort of way. Hopefully the writing about the hospital has restorative powers of some sort.
Author's Response: Thanks, lisahoo!

A+ Feel Better!
Author's Response: Thanks!

Response to your response: Nope. If I can't say anything nice, I don't say anything at all ; )
Author's Response: Even better! Now I feel like I really earned the compliments! Thanks!!

I enjoy every chapter so much, VB. Hope you're feeling better today.
My favorites from this chapter:
-She only started a conversation when he was truly at a loss. It was like she was in his head. How did she know? There's that connection again that gives me butterflies; and,
-Jim smiled to himself. This woman was truly amazing. How could he have ever thought to completely blot her from his life? Even if friendship was all she had to give, he should take it and treasure it. He’d never find anyone else like her, of that he was sure. Hell-o!? Damn right, Halpert, now make it happen, cap'ain!
You know, rumor has it that creative writing, such as this, greatly improves allergic reactions. Just sayin'...
P.S. Your prior response was so sweet, but I think I'm destined to be a cheerleader rather than a quarterback, if ya know what I mean : )
Author's Response:
As always, thanks NanReg! I'm starting to feel better. I don't look quite so much like one of Dwight's bobbleheads today! (I'm pretty small in the shoulders and chest and my face was HUUUUGE yesterday! My husband cracked up last night when I said I looked like a bobblehead because it was so true!)
Well you are a champion cheerleader, NanReg! I think you must find SOMETHING nice to say about EVERYTHING you read!

Aw, I've never had a chapter dedicated to me before - thanks!
Cute bit with their "fans" and the "beautiful" remark. I love that Pam gets it when something's bothering Jim. I can't wait to see him figure out why that is.
Author's Response: You're welcome, JITC! Our obtuse Jim will get it eventually!

Wow. Mr. H is on every drug known to medicine!! The only way it gets worse is if he is paralyzed and oscillated!! And if you do that, this Respiratory Therapist will go into overdrive!! HA.
I love the story because it is SO DETAILED!! Love the medical talk, and I hope we see some nice JAM happiness start to develop. Great work!
Author's Response:
Paralyzed and oscillated?? I sense some Googling in my near future!
Thanks for the great review! JAM happiness is on the way ... after a few more hurdles!
Date: July 11, 2008 08:13 am Title: PDA at Lunch!
That....was....GREAT! But I'm a little worried about the fangirls. I hope Jim gets nicer to Pam too - not just thanking her...I know he's freaked out and everything but still, we have our needs over here too.
Hope you feel better soon! But I'm glad you're at home and free to type away. Channel that pain...
Author's Response: Thanks, MintChocolateChip! Don't worry about the fangirls. They'll be true to their word and not cause any trouble. As for Jim making nice with Pam ... in due time, in due time!
Date: July 11, 2008 08:06 am Title: Prologue
Holy cow! Two chapters!!!! Very exciting. Like others have mentioned, it was great to see them in a new, non-stressful environment. Even the stairwell was a nice change! :-) Glad some things are getting out in the open, like the discussion of the rings and how much the supplies cost. Funny how Pam had to use their cover story for those girls. I'm looking forward to see what happens when they check into the one last available room in the "hotel." Must be there by 3:00!!!
So glad you were able to give us some major updation, and hope you're feeling better!!!
Author's Response:
Yup! Two chapters! And I'm home again today, so maybe I'll try to get another short one out. We'll probably be seeing some more of the fangirls ... hmm ...And definitely more things will come out into the open!
Thanks for leaving a review, berrycakefan! You make my day!

So glad to see you updated. I've been checking this one daily. It's really good. Sorry you're having such a bad time with the allergic reaction. Hope you feel like updating again soon.
Author's Response:
Hi, just-once:
Words cannot convey how exciting it is to see "I've been checking this one daily." Thanks so much! I'm home again today, so I might try to crank out a short one.
Thanks for taking the time to reivew!

Love it - some fluff!! Much as I like all the realistic stuff, it was nice to have a break - I know how Jim feels! I hope they start being a bit more honest with each other soon.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! This IS Pam & Jim, so the path toward honesty will be a rocky one!
Date: July 10, 2008 10:34 pm Title: PDA at Lunch!
Oh YAY!!! I love fluff. Especially in this story. I've been waiting for it all along because I knew it would be good. Great chapter!! :) I can't wait till you update again
Author's Response: Thanks raspberryjam! I appreciate your confidence in me! I'm glad the fluff lived up to your expectations.
Date: July 10, 2008 10:28 pm Title: Friday Morning
Yay! I'm pretty sure my day was made when I saw an update on this story!
I do have to say this chapter was a little to heavy for me to follow with the medical terms and everything. but I understand its necessary
now on to the next one :D
Author's Response: Hi, raspberryjam. This was probably the most jargon-heavy chapter I'll write. I did want to convey how overwhelming and confusing it is for the family to try to absorb all this information. There might be little snippets like this in future chapters, but probably not to this extent.
Date: July 10, 2008 10:01 pm Title: PDA at Lunch!
ok, so I registered just to review this story. I really enjoy it and I'm glad your keeping up with it. and I'm really impressed with all of the medical jargon.
Author's Response: Wow! You have no idea how great it is to see so I registered just to review this story! Thanks so much to putting that much effort into leaving your kinds words. I'm really glad you're enjoying the story.
Date: July 10, 2008 09:55 pm Title: PDA at Lunch!
Aww...feel better!! This chapter was super cute! I want more!!
Author's Response: Thanks, Crystalized! More will be forthcoming!
Date: July 10, 2008 09:38 pm Title: PDA at Lunch!
aw! i hope you feel better. that's gotta suck but the story is SO good! i love the whole fan girl thing and Pam acting all embarassed. So cute! i hope you update soon! get well! xoxo
Author's Response:
Thanks, UrkelGrue. Nope, not feeling any better. It's 2:15 a.m. and I've just given up trying to sleep. Too damn itchy.
But it was VERY nice to come downstairs and see your review. So thanks for that!

I'm still following and enjoying. I actually just got all caught up and I'm really lookingforward to see where things go for Jim's parents and for Jim and Pam. I'm curious when the Karen question will come as well. Girl's gotta call sometime :)
Author's Response: Thanks, albie! I'm so glad you're enjoying the story. And you're right, that girl's gotta call sometime! I actually have that conversation written already. Just not sure which chapter it'll fall in place with.

That was such a great chapter. It was nice to have some fluff mixed in with all the sadness and tension. I'm liking this story more and more.

I'm so glad the story is growing on you! Thanks for the kind words.
