Your poem, submitted above, remined me of R.P. Dickey's "Materialism". It always makes me giggle. Maybe it'll give you a lift??<BR>
<BR>
Did you think all that stuff you gave me<BR>
would make me stay with you?<BR>
Well, it helped; and I'm still here,<BR>
and I want more stuff.<BR>

<BR>
Gala: “The very thought of you”…great great great….!!!!<BR>

Harem: “End of my search”, and “Would” are great. I love “Would” the most ‘cause it’s so intense…Hope you’re happy and smiling!!!<BR>
<BR>
Rick: “Questions of the heart”, “That single tear”…Fabulous!<BR>
<BR>
Sarah Evans: “Saints and Angels"…Totally great.<BR>

Wow. Wasn't it just a while ago we had a million page views?  Now it's like a million and a third... looks like the second million will come a lot more quickly.<BR>
<BR>
Putting my blender-keeper hat for a second, the new submissions thing is going pretty well.  I'll be looking for beta testers soon, though 'new works' submitted until before May probably *will* be deleted.  And pretty soon I'll be turning off the non-login comment addition.  <BR>
<BR>
Oy! Lots of work.

We have an on and off relationship...now it is on...thank God...but I have been hurt so many times by his actions or the words that he doesn't speak...We Love eachother so much but It is so hard to begin to Trust him again....What can make this easier??<BR>
  Thank you all...you are like my best friends..I can ask you anything and ya'll have always been so good to me.  I love ya!

TJ Holland: you're probably using the old feedback page (soon to be going away)-- use this one instead:<BR>
http://www.loveblender.com/blend/feedback.html<BR>
<BR>
(general hint for everyone in these confusing days of transition: if it's not asking you for your password, it's part of the old system)<BR>
<BR>
So great news everyone!  I'd love for some of you to try out the new system.  The URL to submit using the new system is http://www.loveblender.com/blend/addwork.html .  Please note that any poems added this way before May 1 will go away.  Well, actually they won't, but there won't be a way to get from them from elsewhere on the site.  <BR>
<BR>
And what do you get with the new system? Something rather exciting in my opinion... you can now link directly to a poem within a comment to the blender board!  How works is this: when you submit a poem, it both gives you its fairly permanent URL as well as a special link code (link codes look like [ [ ####.##.##.###.## ] ] but without all the spaces.) Also, when you view a poem in the new system it gives you the link code.  So type in the link code when you make a comment and it automagically gets turned into a link-- it even looks up the poem's title and uses it as the body of the link.  <BR>
<BR>
Another new feature: if you go to an author's info page (what all the name links on this board point to) you should see a list of all the poems they've submitted, with links to the poems.<BR>
<BR>
Whew!<BR>
<BR>
Ok, links:<BR>
<BR>
Add a comment to the comment board:<BR>
http://www.loveblender.com/blend/feedback.html<BR>
<BR>
Add a work using the new system:<BR>
(Please test it before May Day, but remember there<BR>
won't be a link to it from the main site)http://www.loveblender.com/blend/addwork.html<BR>
<BR>
Finally, view the new submissions added with the <BR>
new system (doesn't know anything about works for <BR>
the old system)<BR>
http://www.loveblender.com/blend/latest.cgi<BR>
<BR>
Feedback welcome.  I'm sure there are a lot of rough edges in there...<BR>
<BR>
Also, I think I'm gonna take away the old style comment addition page.<BR>

Yes, Kirk, I was using the old page. Gee, I feel do sumb! Thank you for setting me straight! I'm VERY impressed with what you are doing to the Blender. It's getting some new juice! [sic] And you must be spending some TIME with it!  All that AND your new job. Whew! I appreciate what you're doing to make my release valve all that much better!
