Thank goodness he took the recycling.
Good grief, doesn't Karen know the etiquette for these things is putting them on a top shelf in the cupboard and then putting them in a garage sale ten years later? Yup, she knew what she was doing and it speaks volumes about the whole situation...
Oh, and re: last chapter? Condom wrapper... em-bar-ras-sing. And such a realistic touch. Such a Jim thing to notice too.
Author's Response: Well, like Karen said re: throwing away the pot - it was just a silly thing, 'no point in holding onto it.' Zing. Glad the subtext there worked for you. And the condom wrapper...yup, last thing he wanted Pam to see - as if that moment with her wasn't uncomfortable enough. Yikes. Thanks again, variella!

Stupid Karen
Author's Response: I think she was just starting to clue in at this point. But, yeah...it sure was frustrating to watch. Thanks, raspberryjam!

That bitch! She threw away the pot?! Oh jeez...I am VERY fired up about this! Man I wish Jim woulda just dumped her ass right then and there...but alas -- that probably would not have made the most sense. Ok...reading on. lol
Author's Response: Ha! You know - I understood where she was coming from (duh, I wrote it, lol) but it pissed me off too. Thanks much, LoveFool!

I think Karen throwing away Pam's pot is a clever way of describing how she wants to get Pam out of their lives. Nice chapter.
Author's Response: Precisely. No point in holding on to it, as she said. Thanks, Alamos!

So happy to see two new chapters, Colette. This line stuck with me: But at that moment, it felt good to put things back in their proper places. Onto chapter 5...
Author's Response: I just had this really clear image of him sorting those crackers...any semblance of restoring order. Thanks again, NanReg - for sticking with this sad thing. ;-)

Oh Karen, toss Pam's clay pot aside, just like you'd toss anything heartfelt and genuine -- if it wasn't fancy & sparkly enough for you. So glad Jim didn't stay over.
Author's Response: Nope, no way could he return to that bed, that night. Ah, what a fine mess they had on their hands back in those days...so much fun (not.) Thanks Lisa - you know I love the feedback!

You know, I actually had a physical reaction- I felt the blood rush to my face when Jim spotted the pot. Oh, Karen. You were never the right girl. "Life back to normal" for Jim is always going to be Pam, no matter what you try to throw away.
Author's Response: You tell her, nqllisi! Well, thank god it's back to normal now, right? Thanks so much - and just saw you'd posted something. Yay! My dessert tonight ;-)
