Okay - FDKing tonight so that I can try to post in the morning without having to do it.
I must admit though that the following people made it easy with their jaw dropping etc

:
Lisa
LoveSuper
Andreia
Ann [the first time

]
Sleep-e [and HI!!!! A lurker!!!

]
James [who really doesn't fit in this list but is easy to respond to]
Lieta - Interesting could be one way to put it...
Michael - love the babble and you may or may not be right about the Might Have Not Been A Totally Bad Thing. [and it's late Nov btw, six weekish after Pop Pop whose service was 9 days before the Presidential election]
JD - Oooo - can I use that Box of Conversations We Should Be Having?!
Lola - that might be a bit too easy... Happy ending? /looks around/ what's that?
Lara - /whistles/
Elisabeth - Ann said:
I agree with Elisabeth that Lois should have been more grateful to Clark for he did in fact do for her, like bake her favorite cake, when she had probably not eaten all day. That was a very sweet gesture. But coupled with his helpless distance from her, it was a careful friend's gesture, not a loving husband's one.
That's how I tend to see it - neither one are quite sure how to be around each other at this point. He's trying to do nice things, but it's not what she needs and he knows it's not but doesn't think she wants him to give her what she needs. But no, I don't think it will be 'just sex' to her. The question is, will it be 'just sex' to Clark?
Sarah - Happily ever after? what's that?
Sonia - hehe - so sorry about your speculation chip - hope it functions better soon

.
Framework - I do understand what you're saying, but even for inexperienced Lois, it's very likely that being with Clark would put Sam out of her mind for a while - anything from focusing on... performance anxiety to thinking it's her only chance to be with the man she loves and focusing everything on that. As for flying - that offers lots of time to think, I'd think, and that was the last thing she wanted...
Lieta - I wondered if anyone would notice that

.
Ann - That's how I see it. See my comment to Elisabeth above. You're right that one [super?] night isn't enough to fix everything and it shouldn't be. And as for being far from over... it keeps getting longer. Don't want to tell you guys what chapter I'm on...
Grinch - /whistles/ Complicated? I've struggled with PPD myself and I know what things set it off too. As for the 'permission' thing... that will be discussed later. Toys back together? You do mean Clark and Lana back together right?
Sheila - WOW! That's A LOT for one day! I don't know if you read the FDK threads as well [can't imagine you did], but... I struggled with the toga party thing. I knew about the Kryptonite and the snow storm and what may or may not have happened at the cabin. But at the same time, *knowing* that was when Lois got pregnant [if that is, in fact, when she did], would have changed things for Clark - from the beginning he'd have thought Christopher was his son, which I think would have changed things at least some. If there was some other way around it [without having her sleeping with Joe regularly because that would have made things so different too], I would have taken it, but the father needed to be ambiguous - at least to them

.
Okay - off to get some other stuff done so I, hopefully, will get this posting before 9am tomorrow and btw - we're getting a new TV on Wed and I'm SOOOO looking forward to seeing The Incredibles on it!
