I am crying here. This was that good!

[pansychubb]

Wow, you are *fast*!!! I'm flattered that you jumped on the chance to comment, too. :-)

Thank you so much for your kind words. *blushes* I had no idea my writing would be able to elicit such a reaction, and I am, of course, very pleasantly surprised!

Thanks again!

Awwwwwwwwww, soo cute! Love John and Ronon distracting Rodney by telling the jokes (the jet engine one, LOL XD) and Sheppard apologizing to Rodney while he's unconscious and being so careful no one else is around! Oh John *smishes him* and them all gathered around and Rodney pushing himself while injured! Just...SQUEE!

(I have to admit, I was particularly looking forward to this, because while I'm not a writer and thus couldn't participate, xparrot let me help her come up with this prompt...so, double squee! Just the kind of thing I was hoping for when we made the request! ^_^)

Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm so happy that it met your expectations. :-) I was surprised at how easily this seemed to flow from my brain to my pen (er, keyboard) - usually it's a fight to get one paragraph down without throwing it all away and starting over!

I did have fun looking up Air Force jokes. :-D

Thanks again!

Excellent story. I loved it. Great action, awesome interactions. Perfect.

Oh yeah, meant to say I remember the math joke from grad school way back when. :)

[pansychubb]

Hahaha, thank you so much! Yeah, I decided to go with a classic math joke. :-) I did have fun looking up other possibilities - but most of them were just too dorky! ;-)

Thanks again for your feedback!

Well, when you consider how much astronomers (and physicists in general) love their beer and stout, this joke is especially appropos.

:)

Excellent, excellent story! I loved it, all of it! This is going into my reread pile for certain!

[pansychubb]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you loved it enough to read it again. :-D

Thanks again!
