such a not good thing...kurt vonnegut (my fav author) is hospitalized for smoke inhalation...evidently he left a cigarette burning in a back room of his house, and the place caught fire...touch of irony

Can someone please (Kirk, maybe) help me remember which archived month contains most of X's poems?  A bunch were put in one place in one month.  They were at the bottom of the Heart on a sleeve....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have to look a little harder, hon<BR>
At the top of the Heart-on-Sleeve Corner for January 1999, you'll find what you are looking for.<BR>

Ok Misti-<BR>
<BR>
I've been slowly getting hooked on this site but have purposely tried to stay away from your screenplay as to not get overly committed.....Well, I finally gave in now I am wondering....<BR>
<BR>
Where do I find the first scenes??  <BR>

    Yes, Julie Kate is my baby girl. Have you seen the picture of me reading to her at myfamily.com? What is Todd up to these days? I met Madeleine L'Engle when I was at Schreiner College a couple of years ago and she autographed *A Wrinkle in Time* for me! I was so lame, I had tears in my eyes!<BR>

    Are you going to Las Vegas? My brother and grandfather are flying there on Thursday to celebrate Dustin's 21st birthday. I've drawn Dustin a diagram and put stars by the coolest casinos. Glad you're enjoying my screenplay, sorry if I unwittingly dredged up a whole host of demons. Ha! "I sent my inner child to reform school" just popped into my head one day. Several different people have told me that I remind them of Daria, that cartoon chic on MTV. When I'm sober, I'm like Karis. When I'm drunk, I'm like Becca.<BR>
Guppy,<BR>
   Where does Kurt Vonnegut live? What hospital is he in? Maybe I could meet you there and we could catch him in his vulnerable state and not only get his autograph but have a conversation with the guy! Ha!<BR>
NP,<BR>
  I'm not sure...I think you'll find the first scenes of my screenplay in the Heart on Sleeve Corner of the January digest. If not January, then definitely December.<BR>
****I heard the CHEESIEST commercial on the radio this afternoon about a show that's going to be on TV tonight. It's going to be a fictional meeting of John Lennon and Paul McCartney at the Dakota in New York. Laaame. Bye.

I didn't mean competitors...that sounds so...competitive...I meant contributors. Whoops *silly*<BR>
<BR>
Misti...read next few scenes...those should keep the romantics happy...maybe all that romance made it cheesy *hehe*  It usually goes that way.<BR>

The poem "troubled" was written by jim morrison not whoever claims to have written it, some guy named jon.

"Well, now time passed and now it seems<BR>
Everybody's having them dreams.<BR>
Everybody sees themselves walkin' around with no one else.<BR>
Half of the people can be part right all of the time,<BR>
Some of the people can be all right part of the time.<BR>
But all of the people can't be alright all of the time.<BR>
I think Abraham Lincoln said that.<BR>

Thank you for the kind words (all gifts have their limits though, I think).  I had actually intended to make a comment yesterday on your poem "Conditioned," but ran out of time...  Brought memories of that freshman Psych lab rushing back...    We do seem to be one species that does the bar pressing, even if there is no "love" pellet forthcoming, simply because it is familiar to us.<BR>

only going to 'Lo$t Wage$' if we win BIG enough to go to a SHOW and hire a limo to get there...  Chillin' in Laughlin until such time...<BR>
And as far as digging in that mine of memories...  for me there is always a sweet aftertaste even with the bittersweet...<BR>
<BR>
Megs-<BR>
you ARE TOO eloquent!!  (would have said more, but saw you revised your comment &lt;&lt;winks&gt;&gt;)<BR>
<BR>
Lastly (saving the best for)...<BR>
Galadriel-<BR>
A mere thank you cannot do justice to the depth of gratitude you have filled me with...  You DO know why...<BR>
