They never got there because Ressler's father refused to get on the pay-roll and so a drug dealer put a bullet in him. It was a trap, set by the crookedest cop of all, Tommy Markin.

tftnt Kris :hug:

Can't wait for more questions and answers from season 3 :woot:

Lauren Helen Graham 07-26-2015 02:09 AM

You're welcome :) I'm sure we'll get tons of questions again and we'll get answers, too :yay: I especially look forward to the answers although it's intriguing what new mysteries they'll come up with. I'm sure there will be surprises again.

And Miranda, since I had brought it over to the last thread, here the full quote of the title again for you: Red to Lizzie.
"It's all just pieces of a much larger puzzle, and until all the pieces are laying in front of you, it won't go together"

Miranda 07-26-2015 03:42 AM

That is a great quote! It's a shame we couldn't use it completely cause it's too long.

I can't wait to see what they come up with this season! :D

Would you mind adding this title to the top of the OP so they are all the same. :)

Lauren Helen Graham 07-26-2015 07:54 AM

And you really didn't recall that quote at all? :look:

I added the title but you would have to go with a different font since this is the thread that has the other font in the OP... I'm sure you recall us talking about it before, right? :)

One Thing Remains 07-26-2015 04:57 PM

The new title looks great!!! thanks for making it Miranda!

Miranda 07-27-2015 11:15 AM

Thanks for adding it Kris. The other font looks good too and it does fit the OP better. :)

Lauren Helen Graham 07-28-2015 06:13 AM

Oh yes, I love the new thread title a lot better than the one before :)

I'm still kind of annoyed that the font changes when you put the list tag in there :pout:

Miranda 07-28-2015 10:42 AM

I know it is so annoying! Otherwise I could have used in the post count thread if the font wouldn't have changed. :blank:

Lauren Helen Graham 07-28-2015 12:48 PM

I'm wondering if there's a way that the font won't change :look: Or that you could change the font again... I think I even tried it before but it didn't work :pout:

One Thing Remains 07-29-2015 12:35 AM

Maybe we should ask in the technical questions thread? Do you think they would know?

Miranda 07-29-2015 11:37 AM

We could do that Amy. cause you can't change the font when you are using the list part, I tried that already.

One Thing Remains 07-29-2015 10:13 PM

Could we do the OP without using the list function? Maybe still number them, but just do it manually?

Miranda 07-30-2015 11:22 AM

That would work. Than we would have the same font as the rest of the thread but I don't know if it will be perfectely alligned as it is now.
