I was just reading through this again and felt the need to tell you that it's wonderful. i was definitely anticipating this happening, but it's written so well, and it's still a surprise. he gave her her own room! :) i also love how he just kisses her in front of everyone and how Oscar walks away smiling because he just KNOWS! anyway, it's a great fic that i really enjoy even after several readings. 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

"Several times."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  

i really love this. i can't believe i just found it. it was great for a first fic. you did a great job capturing their characters. and of course a kiss is better than a coke! in case you couldn't tell, jinx is one of my favorite jam moments. i'm supportive of the new rules :) 

Author's Response: I\'m glad you found it! Better late than never, right? And these rules of jinx are so much better you would hope they would never buy the other a Coke again.

first of all, wonderful! b/c we get jam and kandy! hehe. but that's not the point. the point is that this entire story has been um... amazing. and this was the perfect way for them to get back in the... groove of things. oh that's bad. 

anyway, as for your chapter end note: yes please!  

HAHAHAHAHA! i've been liking this series up till now, but seriously? this is one of the funniest things i've ever read. of course old ladies think Jim is hot!!! i love how you kept us guessing until the Nana Halpert clue :) this is seriously precious and funny and i love the mental image of Jim swimming. and the reference to his date. and now my review is longer than your fic. but i love it. 

Author's Response: Hee - I'm glad that you liked it... I can't help it, I'm only a couple of years older than the boy, but I DO feel like a skeevy old perv some days!  Thanks for taking the time to read and review!

I love this. Happy Jim and Pam are always wonderful, but it's so great to just see the two of them depending on each other and resting in the peace that love like that offers. They both know that all the little stresses aren't that big a deal when they're together. and you convey that so well! 

Author's Response: I'm so happy to read this, rulesofjinx, because that's exactly what I was hoping for.  Thank you so much for the sweet review.

This is wonderful. seriously. It's just so perfect that they didn't read them the first time, like they knew they'd need it later. And I love the idea that Brian became a part of their life. I also love that you made Jim dissatisfied with Dunder Mifflin without Pam there. b/c we all know that's what's kept him there.  I love it!

haha. can you imagine what a 110-year-old Michael would be like? i love that he called Guiness "periodically" b/c that's something that would change! this was a sweet say to end it. 

woah cliffhanger. when i first started reading this, i wanted to hate it, but you write too well for that. it's wonderful to see that emotional side of her as a person and to understand that she does need love. sweet Andy :) gee never thought I'd say that. 

Author's Response: Thanks for commenting.  I'm glad you wanted to hate it but couldn't.  Karen's not so bad after all!   :)

HA! "he brought me up paper yesterday... remember?" so Kelly! also, i love that you wrote about this b/c Darryl hitting on Kelly was quite possibly one of my favorite moments from this episode!

Author's Response: It was one of mine too, I think mostly because I didn't see it coming at all. That should be an interesting relationship. I'd love to see Darryl slowly but surely become boyfriend material under Kelly's training. Thanks for the review rulesofjinx.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! i really love this story, but this chapter was the best. Jim's so upset! hee. i also love how you manage to convey so much with so few words! 

I love this so much! and being a college student, i appreciate this chapter a little more than the rest :) it's all been amazing, and i'm sad that it's almost over. i love that they went to the party and made out in some guys bedroom... and then it had to be her 21st b-day. i love it. 

Author's Response: Aw, thank you! I had too much fun writing it. People at work must have wondered what I was so smiley about.

I'm also confused as to why Jim is mad. and why in the world didn't he know that she wasn't still with Roy? this is interesting. I kind of like this Pam, but this Jim and Karen thing has GOT to go. right? 

Author's Response:

I'm playing off of Bitter!Jim from most of S3, only once he sees her 'outgrow' him, socially, he gets more and more upset. I don't know, the Jim and Karen thing is a huge ploy here...Well see ;] Thanks for reviewing!
