I have known a few Janes in my time, those who think they are better than others because they have money. I think we can all get the measure of someone very quickly with how they present themselves. I enjoyed your humour here Gretchen and you and Rachelle have finally offloaded the Jane problem onto someone else! But wait a minute, you decided to keep her on board? Oh no! Ha ha ha, a fine chapter, love Dolly x

I still say you could have ditched her at Walmart. You did not invite her. She has offered no money. or paid for gas. Or helped in any way. Good story. Karen

I agree with you about the entitled people or people who think they are "entitled." But I also agree even more with you about valuing good people like your father more than people who think wealth is a way to rate people like Trump does.

I have very much been enjoying reading this book that you and Rachel have been putting together and it seems that so it may be coming to an end at some point so I wish you the very best with the finishing up with the The story thank you for sharing. Patricia.

Good response to Rachelle's chapter. I'm so surprised Jane hasn't been left for the limo driver, or at least a bus driver. Well now we know why Jane writes the kind of poetry she does. I enjoyed this! Carol

    You're welcome, Gretchen. It's neat that you and Rachelle are writing different views of the same story. Great idea!

VERY well done. No wonder Jane is the way she is - talk about entitlement, pride, and arrogance! You and Rachelle both showed remarkable restraint - but dropping her off is the best possible outcome. I have thoroughly enjoyed accompanying you and Rachelle on this hilarious journey - but it has its insights about human nature, and relationships which make it especially meaningful.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Hmmmm. The members are going to be so disappointed! They all thought Jane was a goner on this trip! Naively, so did I! Who would have thought Jane would be saved by her nemesis, the low-class Dixie chick, who takes pity on a limo driver! But gawd knows she's not plugged in enough to ever be beholden to anyone for gifts they have bestowed!

Fun chapter, to be sure - especially learning about Jane's heritage. (At least it explains her dirty poetry!!)

I loved the comment about High School Musical!! (And - thanks SO much, Gretchen, because now I'm going to have that stupid song stuck in my head for the remainder of the evening.) It's a good thing I like you so much!!

I also love the Enhanced Southern Belle you become, solely and exclusively for the hilarity of it all at Jane's (again, oblivious) expense as she blathers on, continuing to spout off her "pedigree" from the back seat. That was a GREAT touch!!

    Thank you, Rachelle, and I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond. How can you not enjoy High School Musical!?! I'm flabbergasted. Lol. I really appreciate your continued support of my offerings. I know this is going to end soon but I'm dreading it. This has been a hoot to write with you. Gretchen

I cannot believe you're not going to turn her over to the limo driver. The driver gets paid to listen to passengers. He'll probably get a raise! Also, he would probably close the window between them. Ha!
I have to admit, I'd be a bit miffed at Rachelle's friend.
Sorry. Your story. I'm just surprised and being too vocal. sorry sorry. You see, I get all wrapped up in this story and Jane is such a jerk ...

    Lol. I think Rachelle might voice her frustrations to her cousin Tova. I really appreciate this nice review. Gretchen

No wonder she writes porn. It's all she knows. I thought she was about to be put out and left on her own but apparently Rachelle feels sorry for the driver that will have to get her home. I'm enjoying this. I hope you two publish it.
