scqueen---i've looked at a few miltonias actually...i'm sure i'll convince myself that it's a really good idea to buy a few of them any day now...ha...my house is rapidly becoming a jungle...that's what i'm striving for really<BR>
<BR>
slug---star lillies...hmmm...i'm sure they represent the cosmos that was dancing in your eyes at the moment they were given to you...cool choice of flower...i'm a big fan of nearly anything but roses when it comes to giving flowers...roses to me have just been overrated for too long...i mean, sheeesh, they had to come up with a color system for them...red is love, yellow is friendship, mauve is motion sickness, blah blah blah...i'd rather see people exchange flowers with personal meaning...even if it's a dandelion...or ragweed..."with each tender sneeze i love you more"...<BR>

"close your eyes" exudes the sensuality that you possess, very descriptive in a tasteful but stirring way.<BR>

Dee of course being the main attraction. 'Close Your Eyes' was wonderfully sensual and you could close your eyes and...well you did well Dee!<BR>

john~ 'funny thing' was beautiful, and the really funny thing is so many people chase beauty thinking it equates love. Wise words.<BR>

Gala~ They are all wonderful, and thanks for getting us bumping on the creep themes. Lotsa fun. But I have to say 'View from a Ridge' took me places in my mind. Wonderfully done images and peaceeful sensuality.<BR>
<BR>
Kevin~ Your halloween bump was marvelous. I loved the ending.<BR>
<BR>
Sarah~ Again...all your creepy bumps worked marvelously. You are so good!<BR>

Guessing~ Great suspenseful writing...one small thing though. As a reader, please lose all the exclaimation points. Let me build my own level of belief and excitement into the story. Keep 'em coming...<BR>

Terry ~ "I'll never forget" is one to remember.  <BR>
<BR>
Stands with a smile ~ "Today's Lesson" that's a little harsh? Nice guys do finish last. But you know what? They stay finished. <BR>
<BR>
B.K. ~ "Your eyes" -- very smooth..I like it..<BR>
<BR>
Gala ~ "Sweets for The Sweet" - are you getting kickbacks from the dentist? ;-) Sombody's getting cavities...while looking for cavities...

Thank you for your comment on Today's Lesson.<BR>
<BR>
Harsh?  Indeed.  But written in the heat of the moment, what else would it be?<BR>
<BR>
I agree, now that my anger has died away.  <BR>
and your point is very well taken..I have yet to finish..and when I have..I will be quite happy.
