Yeah, bold and quotes usually means speaking aloud. I only had a small suspicion because you put a comment about thinking it after the quoted part. By all means write some yelps and cries in the bold quoted part but as Chrystal says, thoughts work better in unquoted italics, at least that's the style I've always used and many others seem to do that as well.<br/><br/>I have some bad news to bring. Zillah is in hospital following a traffic accident on Thursday night. She is okay, just a bit busted up it seems; her GF sent me the horrible news. This means she won't be posting on the site for a while.<br/><br/>Chrystal, what did you want to do about that? It strikes me that if you wait, Laurenne could be out of the game for a long time, given the tone of the PM I just received I get the impression Zillah will be away from us for a good 2 to 3 weeks, maybe longer.<br/><br/>I have sent my love and prayers and hugs and best wishes to Z via her GF, but if anyone wants to send them too, her GF is lovelylilT, or you can PM them to me and I'll send them on.
