Hi everyone.  I have posted some really heartfelt writings here in the past..but I never thought that the one thing that garnered a response would be a line or two about halos and "being bonked" that was written (and submitted) as an afterthought!!!!  Thanks to all for the bumps...and thanks to whoever put my "5AM" on her fav list (as I age my memory fades a bit!!!)  And yes Deeva, I know what "bonk" means in your neck of the woods....from Mr. Bean!!!!

Jenna: I loved ‘Tree Talk’ so much. Thank you<BR>
<BR>
Terry: Ah Ter, ‘Two Days Before Thanksgiving’ was just beautiful, a feast and turkey day is not even here yet…Sigh<BR>
<BR>
Sara: ‘Give me strength,’ AMEN<BR>
<BR>
Mira: Your last two have said it all for me…wow, wish I could do that, just awesome.<BR>
<BR>
Pix: ‘Rainbow anklet’, was very nice, liked that one as well<BR>
<BR>
Maggie: I love ‘wine,’ very nice.  Did not mean to pick on ‘Halos’.  It’s always great to get something started in the blender that others react to. LOL cucumbers and halo’s who would have thought huh. <BR>

Kevin Urenda I read the pages every day for more of your words.  When I read you, it is as if you are scratching an itch I never knew was there; an intimate satisfaction from someone I do not know.  It is as if you are writing the things I have always wished someone would write to me or that I could write for myself.

I think I'm in love with Misty Velvet Rainwater.  Or maybe  with who she pens herself to be.  It could be that I was in love with her once hiding under a different name and another face, change the history and the events but keep the spirit and the soul.  Yes, I'm quite certain- I am in love with her.  You can ask her sometime, she's still in love with me.

Thank you for the praise.  That was an oldie but a goodie, I can say I've met very few guys who haven't had that experience..and believe me..it's a killer.  Just had to get that one posted.  I'm digging up a lot of older stuff lately..hope the good folks here think it passes muster.<BR>

Hey all....<BR>
<BR>
           Aside from healing, I've spent much of the last two months working on a manuscript for the Whitman competition....yeah, I know...but you gotta dream, right? Well anyway, in the process of collating that monster, I once again realised how much the Blender, our happy little literary oasis, and more importantly, the people who visit,and contribute have made me stretch and grow...<BR>
<BR>
           Okay....I have a snowflakes chance in hell for the Whitman...but I had to try. And I thank you all for the feedback...the friendship, and yes, even the love I've found here. Gala is giving thanks in a few days...but for tonight, you are all awesome.....<BR>
<BR>
           You have made one fairy lady very happy.<BR>
<BR>
                                       Love,<BR>

I alwayz knew that everybody getz dumbed, but i wasn't expectin' it to happen to me  so soon.  I asked myself what went wrong? Was it my looks? I could change it.  Or was it my body?  I could diet and be the image of your perfect dream girl.  But what ever you do please dont' leave.  Cauz if you do, I will never love anyone as much as i have loved you.  So please don't Leave............
