Hey, i found a bug in the submission thing- if there was a " in the title or author field, it would probably not work, because it would put the title or name in a hidden field, and the quote mark would confuse it. I've gotten a few e-mails about a failure of submission, sorry I lost the e-mail and don't remember from who, but maybe this fixed it.  (Incidently this is also a plug for a new work "Hi--")

Food for thought.  Someone said they thought the blender was for 'things they loved' while someone replied it was for romantic love.  Which is it?<BR>
<BR>
I personally believe that the only true love in this world is that which exists between a parent and a child.  That certainly would NOT qualify as romantic love.

Tanq -- I've followed your postings with pleasure (not to mention recognition of the feelings therein, but then isn't that why we're all here?).  Well done and I hope to see more.  Thanks for the credit -- I'm pleased (and humbled) to think that I could inspire something in someone whose writing I respect.  Hope your muse graces you with her presence soon.<BR>
<BR>
BTW, nice to see someone else finds bits of E.A.Poe romantic!

Kirk, <BR>
Loved your "Hi" poem.  My  comment on my submission was cut off. it read "inspired by Kirk's "--Hi" and his comment about "In verse" relationhip between romance and writing poetry.  Anyway Kirk, loved your piece.  <BR>

I had almost forgotten what that feeling was like before you two expounded on it in verse.  Thanks to both of you...  Have not felt very poetic the last few days and you flooded the poetic plain...<BR>

Thank you too for the reminder that the spice of life is all around us if we are attentive to it.  We have to cook it ourselves sometimes; it is not available at any drive-thru...<BR>

Toklas, you caught the (one?) field I forgot to put the quote-protection on.  Also, I finally got around to restoring "Hairpins" to its place in the April Heart on Sleeve corner.

OK, I am going to be VERY naughty and very shameless... (gotta adore that about me!!!)<BR>
<BR>
A cafe in town has contacted me and said they'd like to show some of my paintings on their walls, and I know I've mailed everyone on my work mailing list, and posted a plea at MyFamily... but PLEASE, I'm after opionions on which paintings I should get framed for the showing?<BR>
<BR>
Even if you don't think you know anything about art -- just look at my site, pick any that you like and let me know, ([email-masked]) I'm wanting 'general appeal' paintings rather than 'high artistic value' paintings. <BR>
<BR>
I'm thinking the 'recline series', and maybe 'mermaid', 'the dancer' and one other -- at this stage, maybe 'blue water colour dreaming' ... if anyone has a free moment http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/~deevaa/<BR>
&lt;grin&gt; Even if you read this board but have never emailed me in your life... help me... please!<BR>

  Thanks so much for the compliment, chica! I never thought I could write decent poetry while bLiSsed out in love, but maybe I can. This requited love thing is a trip, I tell ya! I love him, he loves me. I give to him, he gives to me. I always hoped and prayed and dreamed about and wished for the Real Thing but I don't guess I ever thought it would happen to me. Go to myfamily when you get the chance and check out my latest comment!<BR>
