Wow, what a great surprise ending. I was not expecting that at all. You had me going with all of the "things" that seemed to be going wrong. great story.

That is a good April fool's story.
There is no doubt about that as I was thinking of Murphy's laws and what else could go wrong for Shelly.
One point, isn't it a bit early for these stories?
Never mind. I enjoyed reading it.

Hi there. An interesting write, and a heck of a surprise at the end. THIS IS SEPARATE FROM THE WRITING YOU've been writing about; Right? Sorry I hit something and my caps got stuck; then unstuck.

    Hanging out at the hsopital until just a while ago..Though my honey had a stroke, but it's just a serious infection and his sugar levels hit 504..instead of below 100. My life never seems to mellow..Smiles, Carol

    OH no. Is he going to be alright Carol?? I think you and I have the same curse on us. Boy, my strife just never ends either. We have some health stuff to "look forward to" as well, I dread what is to come. Does your husband have diabetes? My brother does, and passed out while driving once. We hit a parked car in a mall lot. Please tell him your fanfriend said GET WELL SOON!? gee, it HAS to get better. Luv, Susan

That was mean, mean, mean!!! There's no other way to describe it... Just plain mean!! Well... I could say it was a bit humorous.. But mean says it better!

I did notice a couple of small typos, nothing too bad.
Well done, Buck

What a confusing day for Shelly. Kate and Rob did all they can do (even make several others talk about the company's plan to move to Seattle) to give her an April Fool day to remember. (It would be more timely if you posted it in April, though ...:))

Oh, that was just not nice. Poor girl could have had a heart attack with all of that stress heaped on her. Well they got her good. Great job.

Oh Begin Again, this is a very cruel prank. And worse, I fell for it! Who writes April Fool's stories in November?
There ought to be a law. I'm thinking of calling Homeland Securtity. You are a menace. I'll get you back.
Peace, Lee

Welllllllll, I was feeling so sorry for the poor girl and then I just got mad at everyone for upsetting her.
But, it really is a cute story, and I guess I was as fooled as Shelly. Having so many levels to the joke was a great idea. Of course, now, you are stuck writing the "payback" story for poor Shelly.
