countrygurl - I'm glad that made sense.
And we're definitely of one mind on those late third season arcs.
Anne - You're back with pictures! I didn't think the younger Clark and Lois were annoying - they were just written that way (sort of like Jessica Rabbit).
Vicki - Definitely part 8. Let's just say that Lois is a lot more persuasive and Clark doesn't call things off after a little necking. Since this is an alternate version, Lois isn't lying in the original story when she assures Clark that nothing happened.
metwin1 - Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm delighted to have delurked you.
Artemis - Nope, no other sections have an nfic version. I'm sorry to admit that I haven't done anything towards getting it ready for posting this week. But, given what week it is, I figured you might understand. The guy did come on Monday and replace the motor on our heater. For three glorious days it worked like it was brand-new. Then, on Christmas Eve, it conked out. My brother was here and he fiddled with it and found that the new wiring has a wire loose. He got it working, but that stray wire is still there, connected to nothing. We put in a call and the guy will be coming on Monday. He doesn't work weekends and holidays, you see. I obviously picked the wrong career path.
My thanks again to everyone who has commented. You've all made my holiday that much brighter.
