I am sorry to hear that you dislike school...I never liked it either and it made it real hard to go every day. I started to dread Monday by four Sunday afternoon and so on. Though...I wish I could get a week off just to do what I want to do. NOTHING!
LOL...that is OK. Better have positive feed back in the wrong places than none at all
. And take the time you need to post. This week is pretty busy for me so I really don't knwo when my next chance to be on will be. Dang muses anyways!I am currently attempting to write a summary for my story to send in my prologue and chapter one into MA...but either it is too long or not enough detail in it! ERRRR. Anyways, I hope you get the snow you are hoping for
-
Take your time, Lori...though I will be waiting anxiously for your reply.
No pressure or anything! HA HA. Thanks for writing with me,this story has come a far way and am looking forward to seeing where our muses take us. A week out for snow? EEHK! Hate to be the pesstimistic thinker here, but how far into summer are you going to have to go to school? Though it would be nice to be snowed in for a week...I could get a lot of writing done in that amount of time...uh, depending on how cooperative Garrett and the rest of my muses feel like being
. Hope you've enjoyed the time of. Now get back to work!

The Enemy
Garrett Duke replied to Garrett Duke's topic in Story Ideas/Fics In Progress/Collaborative Efforts
Time seems to slowly tick on for Luke as he sits at the table, nervously staring through the open front door. More questions explodes within him as his thoughts bounces from his past to the present. Of how close he had been to Bo before Paul had shown up, of how protective he had been. And then Paul shows up. . . "Damn," he angrily says to interrupt the silence, the silence that only builds tension and deep emotions within me. Standing up from his seat, he once again begins to pace the floor, his thoughts fixated upon Paul and the time he has had in Hazzard. Only to send more questions rippling through him. Where is Paul now? For someone who had only arrived in Hazzard a week or two ago and for someone who claims to never have been to Hazzard until now, Paul seems to be gone alot. And without a reason or a notice. Yet he acts so clueless about Hazzard and where to go. Asking questions of Hazzard's past, of Hazzard's traditions. Of who's who in Hazzard. Yet for someone who is supposedly only passing by, a couple of weeks is a long time to stay, even if you find a friend to hang out with. "Don't add up," Luke hears himself say aloud, letting out the breath he had been holding in. After a brief moment of more twisted silence filled with questions and emotions, the sound of tires hitting the dirt drive way breaks his attention and his pacing comes to a halt at the door. Slight relief slithers through Luke at the sight of Cooter's dusty tow truck pulling to a halt in front of the porch, an old car hitched to the end of the tow. Relief that is quickly replaced with guilt at the sight of Cooter stepping out of the truck, guilt toward all that he had said to Cooter only hours ago. How he had treated Cooter. Only because Cooter had stuck up for Bo and was demanding answers. "Hey Cooter," Luke casually says as he opens the screen door to meet Cooter on the deck. "Thank-you for coming out as quickly as you did and for loading me up an extra car. I'l make sure to take real care of her for you." "I'm sure you will," Cooter replies dryly before placing a stern hand upon Luke's shoulder, "but before you go, I think you owe me an explanation." Luke eyes his friend for a long moment, the words he had spoken to Cooter still piercing within him while remembering Cooter's threats and answers. Chills spread through him, Cooter was right. Bo wouldn't accuse Paul or anyone of anything without a reason. . . "Look Cooter, what you want me to say? You were right? Heck," Luke pauses for a long moment, "we all know you were right. Or how wrong I am or was." Luke goes quiet for a long moment, realizing that if he were to side with Bo and Cooter, that he'd be turning his back on his newly aquinted friend, Paul. "You are right. Bo's family, no matter what mistakes or choices he makes. He's family. And Paul," Luke sighs as he looks off into the distance, questions of where Paul may be at and what Bo knows about him once again hits him. "All I know about Paul," Luke turns back to Cooter, "is what he has told me, how he has acted." Cooter nods. "That's a start," he offers a stiff smile. "Though that doesn't make him a bad guy, but once again you are right, Bo has yet to accuse anyone wrongly without a reason. I have spent the past hour or so by myself thinking of what you said, what I said, and about everything," Luke pauses for a long moment as his thoughts falter upon Bo, wondering where he is and how alone he must be feeling, "to realize how dumb I have been. Paul is not worth losing Bo over and the more I stop and think, the more I realize how wrong I've been and how correct Bo is. And as you said earlier, if Bo's right, that means our whole family is in trouble." Luke stops to allow silence to filter between them to look out over the dark sky and chills of fear crawl across his body. The chills of fear that normally take over when Bo is about to get in some sort of trouble or danger or is in trouble. "Cooter!" Luke alertly says to force Cooter to jump in surprise, "I've got to go find Bo. You know where he is?" Cooter shakes his head no as the intensity within Luke's blue eyes build fear deeply within him, fear in knowledge from the past behind what the look usuaully means. Bo's in trouble. "I tried calling out to him before I came to the farm," he slowly starts, "he refused to tell me his location over the radio. Said he didn't think it would be best to say his location over the air." "He's probably right. Damn it," Luke slowly says as he places his hands out to impatiently grab the spare set of keys from Cooter from the towed car, "I need to go. I need to find him before. . ." His voice trails off and Cooter blankly nods before snapping into reality and runs back to his truck with Luke right behind him. Together they un-tow the car a moment before Luke hops in and starts the car to leave Cooter standing alone in their driveway, watching Luke quickly speeding out onto the dirt road. (Cue Lori - great post, glad to see the story getting another restart ) -
YAY Lori! I just read your post to our story and really like it. Am glad to hear/read/ see that you still want to write in it. Now it is my turn to decide on what to write. LOL. Great job!
-
Ah they should. At least something to think of and to try. Thanks.
Scary as it may seem, I hope that Lori keeps being nice for you and for others. Glad to hear she has decided upon returning to Hazzard
I'm on if you want to chat, if not, have a great day and a great week!
-
Thank-you for all of your advice and ideas, Lori! They are all very good and interesting. Now whether or not, they'll work on Garrett is another story, but I am willing to try about anything right now to get him to cooperate with me. LOL.
Erase him? Hmmm, that is a good idea, but with Garrett, he would either like it too much or hate. You never can be sure with him. He may like it since it will leave him alone and he'd be free to nothing as he pleases or he may be upset if he sees I'm ignoring him...hmmm that could work. LOL.
Another character as mean or bothersome as Garrett? I'd have my h ands full for sure. I'd probably be spending all of my time attempting to stop them both from killing each other instead of doing any writing. LOL.
Thanks for the ideas, I will have to give them some thought and see where it will lead me and what I can do with them!
You are aright that Garrett must have a little in common with me since I had created him (Mistake on my part?) LOL but there must be a little something. LOL -
LOL...change is said to be a good thing.
Well...I did attempt to lock Garrett up, in jail, but then he found a way to talk his way out of jail. Leave it to him.
And yeah, I fight with myself...er my muses pretty much all the time. Garrett and I have very little in common which is why he is so stubborn and ornery towards me.
-
LOL! Well I can't have you thinking too negative about her, muses don't tend to like it too much. See...I put Garrett in jail in my last story and see the damage he done me? Six months without much if any worthy piece of writing. Just an example of the power your muses hold over you. HA HA. Well not so funny actually...
I am very happy and excited to hear that Lori is behaving herself for you! Even if it is scary for you. LOL. I haven't had time to write since the last tiem I wrote you, but I haven't given it up yet though...then again, so far I dont' know where Garrett or Kristy fits into it. Perhaps he has gone and ran off! Time will tell.
-
LOL Val! I like your philosphy that you have chose to go with, perhaps I have chosen wisely not to post as often as I should. Sadly enough, I think I already learned that the hard way. If my memory serves me correctly, most of all those posts I've posted under my Kristy ID were very meaningless. Thanks for the laugh and the reassurance that I am not the only one on here that has been around a few years and have yet reached the four digit posts count.
-
Well Lori, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but with that attitude, they will. Have positive attitude, that may help you out a little bit better...though I have to admit I am having the same thoughts myself. Not really that, but that my idea isn't oringal enough and that it is too similar to past ideas.
Anyways...I hope that your muses continue to work for you. Am excited to hear that! Hope to be able to read another Lori Davenport story in the near future

I am glad that your dad's surgery was a success and to hear that your dad is doing fine.
That is a scare. I am glad that that is behind for you now and that you are doing better! YAY!I am also super glad to hear that your muses have shifted into gear and is now working...even for Naruto and that you are posting it!
Must be something in the air or something, because my muses as well has shifted into gear. DOH ones that is. I am almost done with chapter one and when I am done I will send it into MA to post on my page:D. For once I am excited about writing and about my idea! (Though it is the one that is very similar to "THe Enemy" sorry about that, when time comes to write, perhaps we can work it through somehow)(Sorry my posts here is soooo long and am sorry for keep hounding you with questions and complaints about ff.net. Thanks for all of your help:D)
-
Oh no! I am sorry to hear that Lori! That is horrible...some people just don't have any respect for others. Perhaps you could get a new account? I wish I could help you out with your e-mail.
-
Thank-you Daney for posting the link to the article about John! It was great to hear about his tribute to his friends and about his involvement in helping people with AIDS. They need everyone they can get to help them out and I can't think of a better person to do it than John Schneider.

The first Smokey and the Bandit movie is my all time favorite movie. I have seen the second movie and am not a big fan of that movie due to the plot that was behind it. And I have yet seen the third one...how can you have Smokey and the Bandit without the Bandit? I suppose Snowman was the Bandit and Jerry was great in the movie and I liked Snowman as much as the Bandit himself, but it just wouldn't be the same. Just as it wasn't the same when they replaced Bo and Luke with Coy and Vance. Definately the first Smokey and the Bandit is my favorite out of the three S&B movies...once again though, it is my favorite movie.

Congrats DaisyXEnos! You sure got me beat. On January 24th it will mark my fifth year at the site under this ID (Garrett Duke) and I only have like 384 (This will make 385, I think). You really put me to shame Daisy! Though, I do believe that my Kristy_Duke ID has over a twelve hundred posts under it (Can't remember, haven't used the ID for a while) so at least I have more personally than the 385 or so. Though you still put me to shame since I had created the Kristy ID way before I created my Garrett ID (October of 2001)...shame on me!

Thank-you for the summary Dukefan. It sounds like it would be a neat show to watch and to get into...especially if Denver is in it.
-
I am not into westerns either...my parents are, but I'm not. I wouldn't have caught that if it wasn't for my parents having that on and watching it. I never watched Grizzly Adams or know what it is about, but I do believe reading that Denver Pyle was in an episode or so. Hopefully you will be able to watch it again and to find Denver in it. Yeah, if you didn't watch the Dukes at the time, you would never recognize Denver as who he is - he'd be just another character/actor on the show. So hopefully you can find him in it again...it is neat that he was in a show that you use to watch!
-
He was on a couple of episodes of "The Andy Griffith Show" I know. Last week my mom was watching Bonaanza on TV Land and lo and behold, Denver Pyle was playing a sheriff on there. It was kinda funny - I was in the kitchen when I heard him talking and immediately recognized him as Uncle Jesse - when I walked into the living room, the man talking had no beard or mustache, but my dad asked if it was Denver Pyle...didn't see his name on the credits, but it had to be Denver!

Repo Men (or something like that)

((((HUGS)))) I am sorry to hear about your dad. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I hope that all that the doctors had done is and will be successful.
I am glad that you were able to get away to take your mind off of things. Everyone needs to do that now and then. I hope that school will be better and easier to return to than what you expect it to be.
If there isi anything I can do, just let me know. I am here for you when you need me...even to just to talk to.
-
You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.

Who owns a General Lee besides me???
Garrett Duke replied to GeneralLeeOwner's topic in Introduce Yourself
Well...I own several General Lee cars. A remote control one and several model cars of different sizes of The General Lee... He didn't exactly clarify that it was a real car, but that he decided it was time to buy a car. They may not be real or driveable, but they're still cars. -
Good job Dixie Ross at keeping your resolution...I made the same one and am finding it to be way harder than I had anticipated it to be. LOL. Keep up the good job!
-
That is OK Lori...take your time and take care of yourself. Hope things will get better for you real soon!
-
I am sorry that your return wasn't so good and that you weren't in a good mood. Hopefully things will get better and things start to fall into place for you.
Well...it may be spelled wrong, but at least you can say you are from Hazard.
