Hey there, Daniel...I am very sorry.  I have been offline for about a week.  RouxB and Amanda visited Elle and me in Seattle last weekend, then I had a bunch of computer and internet problems.  I wasn't even getting the email notices I usually get when I get PMs, so I'm just seeing yours tonight.  Hang in there and don't give up on me.  I will write soon.
P.S.  I caught up on Luke and Noah right after the other women headed home...can't remember if I posted in the thread or not, but I'm up to speed again and not happy about anything there, as has become usual.  And why do I think this is strange considering it's a soap-opera!??!  Those guys need their own show.
