Thanks for the feedback on "Mee-oow!".  It was fun to write too, and ~mostly~ a joke, but of course, by the title, I acknowledge my own negative emotions in it too.<BR>
<BR>
Always enjoy your writing; especially the plays on words.  <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.10.30.03.33.15285">Palsy</a> & <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.10.24.06.15.16791">Ravioli and Grapes</a> are my most recent favs, though I haven't had much time to peruse of late.

FORGIVING is a great piece of work. It especially hit close to home for me. Congratulations for putting my very feelings into words in a way that I could not. There is, however, one mistake I think most people make. Whoever said forgive and forget was a fool. Forgive, yes. But remember, always remember. Lest the sorry SOB trick you into being a sucker yet again!<BR>

           But my approach is sort of egyptian...you erase---and they are lost to eternity. If you feep their name, they stay immortal. I'm not giving eternal life to anyone.<BR>

Have you seen the film the Wonder Boys?  There is a scene in which a young, pregnant cocktail waitress ends up with the coat that Marilyn Monroe wore on her wedding day to Doe DiMaggio.  She is standing next to her boyfriend’s black car while everyone (Michael Douglas, Robert Downey Jr., etc) is arguing.  <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.10.29.12.44.11796">Peaches and Chicken</a> reminds me of that scene – the nonchalant way this woman feels about something everyone else is making a huge deal over.  Such serenity in that, I think.  This is such a fun piece – I do like it so very much!<BR>
<BR>
Starbright ~<BR>
All your entries have been wonderful.  <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.10.29.18.17.8611">This our first...</a>, however, is my favorite thus far.  Also, Wrath is so powerful that I wonder from where it comes within you – is it heart or mind...or both?<BR>
soaked in tears from each angry blast – WOW.  <BR>

Oh, yes sir, <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.10.30.03.33.15285">Palsy</a> rocks!  You indeed do have a way with words and you should keep giving them to us.  Such a metaphor…palsy on the heart.<BR>

You must have the greatest romance.  You consistently write sweet verse to your Darlin and share it with us all.  How wonderful to be so bold and committed to put it all out there for everyone to enjoy.  I hope your Darlin reads each one.<BR>

Everyone!!!<BR>
I need some help, of course I turned here b/c I knew ya'll would have some great ideas. For my boyfriend's birthday I am trying to think of several groups of 21 things that I can do for him. For example these are the ideas that I have already:<BR>
A list that say's "21 things I love about you"<BR>
21 ballons each with a note inside of things that I will do for him<BR>
21 flowers<BR>
That's all I have so far and I need more ideas.<BR>
I am trying to keep the cost down on this b/c the rest of his birthday celebration is going to cost an arm and a leg, so please,please give me some ideas.<BR>
Thank you sooooo much.<BR>

That's  a good idea, I could wrap them up in some pretty (yet masculine) cellophane paper and tie it up with a tag that say's "to be exchanged for the real ones later".<BR>
Thank's, I'll def. use that one.

Thank you for "Forgiving".  Anyone who loves has known pain and betrayal and you are SO right in saying that is costs more to continue to hate. The ability to forgive and move on is crucial.  Thanks for that beautiful reminder.

Hola!<BR>
slug ~ thanks a bunch for the comment on Blonde Vampire.  It was written for a certain blonde and I really thought the Blender community would think " what the hell is Rhet talkin about now? " Also, I know I didn't mention b4 - but your work is great.  shattered and green eyed boy are amazing.  I love how you construct your submissions.  Why so few...any and all juice you can give will be greatly appreciated!<BR>
<BR>

Well, you always give me sweet slaps of love for my postings (even the REALLY weird ones) and I do enjoy our banter.  I only wish that all my friends shared our twisted sense of humor!  You do "get" me...and I love that.<BR>

Wow...great lookin site, deevaa.  I assume that beautiful honey on the front page is you?  That is a great photo BTW.<BR>
I peered around and it looks really good - since you do that sort of thing 4 a living, I guess you know all the tricks.  I was glad to see more of your stuff.  Home is Where the Heart is, pink gloves, and the Recline Series are my faves.  Good luck getting more sold.<BR>

"...the supposition that I am a vampire is false, since that is a name given to the dead who rise from their graves; whereas I am living..."<BR>
<BR>
YOU, my dear, are a sack of skin and bones harboring a barren, dead soul...you live in your own hell on earth and it exists between your ears...<BR>
<BR>
Ironic that a site I used to woo you has been used to stalk and torment the nicest guy you ever lost...I guess it was the only place the restraining order couldn't reach...<BR>
<BR>
The only difference is that I never lowered myself to POST on this glorified chatroom of a website, the self-agrandising on this site is truly absurd and tragic...and quite comical.  And a tee-shirt, fer crissakes  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  I've watched this grand facade evolve over many months, and it only reconfirms ...I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.  Too bad you you can't face your truths.  You get what you deserve.  Garbage in, garbage out.<BR>
<BR>
Have a nice life.  With this posting I take leave of this tiresome website.  Post on, with all your multiple personalities, with your sickness...I am no longer a reader of this site!  I'll gladly let all have their turn with you without care or thought!   Stupid is as stupid does.<BR>

Oh Dearest Victim of The Blonde Vampire…<BR>
I am so proud of you for speaking out.  I am sure that you have been aching to have your wacked out rantings heard by someone.  Does it feel good?  Do you feel better to lash out and take release (far less damaging than constant calls and harassment) in public forum?  I do hope so.  And postings an entire work in French – ooh...I am impressed.  Say, where did you go to school again? You need a life.  If you are still so involved and affected by this special someone, why do you seek out her words, or her actions in public, on the weekends, and mostly when she is not thinking about you?  I am so pleased to know that you are SO upset and moved by The Blender, yet none of it’s residents know or care what you are talking about.  You are still so close to a fire that, sadly, went out long ago.  You read too much into words, my friend.  This is a site to express love and pain – not attack and aggravate. Why assume it means that anything is about you or directed to you? Sad, sad... <BR>
“Too bad you can't face your truths. You get what you deserve.”<BR>
It is you who are unable to face your own demons…it is you who are miserable and haunted by your past.  You relive your mistakes OVER AND OVER.<BR>
<BR>
I wish you peace and luck in life.  If you need to waste any more time on this matter…you can email ME personally and we can arrange a time to sit down as gentlemen and discuss your concerns.  [email-masked]<BR>
Heck, I only live a mile or two away – come over for coffee.<BR>
<BR>
Gutentag, Rhet<BR>
