Very good chapters. The one about Arnold's wedding was my favorite, but the others were cool as well.

Keep the good writing.

Greetings lightbird!

Its been awhile but Its good to see that you're still writing and writing such in depth one-shots I might add. The thing with Miriam and then with Helga was spot on! You did a wonderful job of portraying their such indepth feelings and emotions! Keep up with the good work! As always, its good to hear from you and my other favorite reviewers.

Aw! That was sweet!! :)

You chose an interesting pair. You made a wonderful description of after-Olga-Comes-Home situation. But I really think that you should try to write something with a plot and storyline.

Nice interaction between Helga and Olga. Great job here.

Keep the good writing.

I´m so very impressed by this, you caught such an important take on Miriam - however, the actual causes of her depressional state are still to learned...

Still, you done a great writing work here, I applaud it!

Usually I don't like stories about 'minor characters.'

But Miriam... yeah, she always intrigued me. (And some other charachers, like Olga, Lila, Mr. & Mrs. Kokoshka...) It really looks like Miriam had great past... But what's happened? Why she became what she's now? It kinda disapponts that you limited yourself with description of Miriam's current state but didn't try to explain it. Still it was interesting, and it's good for a change to read a story written in a good language. (I'm sorry if mine isn't very well -- I'm Russian)

By the way, my story "When You're Smiling" also deals with minor HA! characters, and also mentions "coffee getting cold".

Great job, and good analysis of Helga's mother.

Keep the good writing.
