She didn't love him enough to stay and solidify their relationship. She expected him to make all the sacrifices.<BR/><BR/>So, Elizabeth enabled Paul's journey to meet his true mate, as the wise man said. That was a lovely thought.<BR/><BR/>What a drag that Lynn Johnson is retiring.

It's snowing now though.<BR/><BR/>Renee: They are all excellent aren't they. And the thing about FBOFW is I don't think it would take too long to pick up the story (not unliked soaps *g*) And she did do a wonderful job when Farley died.<BR/><BR/>Suisan: There's something so appealing about Calvin & Hobbes isn't there? Such an imagination that Calvin had.<BR/><BR/>Tara: The thing that gets me most about Paul isn't that he found someone else, it's that he didn't break up with her by going there - no he waited until she got all the way up there. I mean after reading today's strip - the guy in the restaurant is right - it's just the way that Paul did it that sticks in my craw *g*. And of course the romantic inside me that looks for romance in all things - even comics - is hurting for Elizabeth :-(Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1168882991449183832007-01-15T12:43:00.000-05:002007-01-15T12:43:00.000-05:00Just doing a quick check in before the power goes ...Just doing a quick check in before the power goes out again :) Out last night 4 to 5:30 and today 7 to noon.

We don't get the newspaper delivered anymore(read it on-line) I made a point of searching out FBOFW.<BR/><BR/>2. Paul is a dawg, but then if she was really committed she wouldn't have come home. Think she'll hook up with Anthony, though I think she may deserve better, that Therese was a trip how clueless was he to hook up with her in the first place.<BR/><BR/>3. Calvin and Hobbs is by far the favorite comic in our house. My husband has every book, and mourns the end of the comic.

It really is like reading about a family you've come to know over the years and you root for them in their trials and tribulations. I really missed it there for a while.<BR/><BR/>Bonz: Isn't it good? I'm glad you found it too! And the good thing about finding it on-line is that it's in colour as opposed to the black/white one that runs in the paper. April really is an interesting character when they get to her too. And I like Mother Goose & Grims but I don't think they carry it here anymore. And I feel for you with the weather out there :(<BR/><BR/>Bookwormon: *grinning in delight* I know - poor Elizabeth. Even though Anthony is divorced now - and a single father - that's kind of a cool story line, he's been in love with her forever. And he did save her from that fellow employee that attacked her a while ago. I'm thinking Elizabeth will *suddenly* discover him again. Although I do wish he'd shave the stupid mustache. And the Patterson house must be pretty full. Isn't Michael & Deanne and the kids staying there too since their apartment burned?<BR/><BR/>Megan: I really do miss Calvin & Hobbes. That's cute that you son loves it so much too. I read a bit about the authur that was kind of interesting. He hated the attention he got because of the strip and quit writing it because he really is a recluse. And you should give FBOFW a try :) I admit there are sections I kind of skip - like Elly's father and John's vehicles - but the storylines about the three children are always so interesting.<BR/>And I'm so glad for my family and friends too!Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1168781546635334032007-01-14T08:32:00.000-05:002007-01-14T08:32:00.000-05:00http://farmwifetwo.blogspot.com/2007/01/weather-fi...http://farmwifetwo.blogspot.com/2007/01/weather-finally-winter-or-not.html<BR/><BR/>Looks like we're getting winter tomorrow morning.<BR/><BR/>I haven't read the comics in... shall I admit ages.

I go to the actual website www.fborfw.com every day for my fix, as it's not featured in any local newspaper out here on the west coast.<BR/><BR/>I also am hooked on Mother Goose & Grimm (www.grimmy.com/comics.php)<BR/>mostly because it usually gives me a laugh-out-loud moment, and it's brightly colored. With all the dreary weather out here lately, I need both the laughter & the cheery colors!<BR/><BR/>— BonzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1168748252615029882007-01-13T23:17:00.000-05:002007-01-13T23:17:00.000-05:00I'm not surprised he hooked up with someone else. ...I'm not surprised he hooked up with someone else. She decided to return to her parents' city & I didn't think Paul would go for that. Elizabeth passed over the pilot & Anthony married the French girl.. although they're divorced now. <BR/><BR/>Her timing is off. Now she's living with her parents. Jeez louise.

The dog! And I think she'll end up with Anthony (think that's his name) in the end.
