Bridget O ~ <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.08.11.13.53.13144">Kiki</a>  is my nickname... my whole family calls me that, because when I was little I decided that was easier to say than "Kristen"  Anyway... I like the anger in this one. And I also like the title. ;-)

Thank you Bridget...<BR>

          "Galadrial" is older than dirt...been using that handle for three years---so I'm not a Gala-come-lately! The ones with the correct spelling were all used...but add an a...and viola!<BR>
<BR>
           Of course since LOR opened, Galadrial in ANY form is a dime a dozen!

Teej, thanks! What can I say after that crit! I am reading your work as I can digest it ... incredible depth from what I see. I am already a fan. Takes a bit to read the board and the submissions and get into all those posting here. I am trying.<BR>
<BR>
Kirk and Mo, I am so happy to read about your life and love. It had been something I really found happiness to read about as it bloomed and the two of you married. I pulled a site down and your Wedding Wish with it, but still wish that for you. I have a five year anniversary coming up on the LOST SOULMATE situation I first posted with you. I actually wrote that just 30 minutes after my husband was killed, while I was waiting for the ambulance to come for him .. a way of trying to cope with an impossible tragedy. I know many took that work as the loss of an affair. Speaking from experienc, give the right relationship all the love and romance you can stand while you have it. Kirk, the new format for this site is great. Easy to access and use IF I had the mind for it. I'm trying to catch-up here, but everyone here knows that is impossible with this packed and fast site.<BR>
<BR>
Galadrial, I am so glad to see your postings again. You were dealing with a surgery the last I had a chance to really read your work. I am slow to recover after another near-death round of medical treatments and mistreatments, coma and memory problems. Just call me Timex (if any of you remember that old commercial).<BR>
<BR>
Misti, remember My Captain. Dreams sometimes come true ... the tree frogs, lightning and other things make bother ya during them. Fast forward them and see what it is you really want and let no one live your life for you and the one you love. Life is give and take. Passion is great and fatiguing in constant doses. One of the most difficult things to do is learn to live life in balance by yourself and then with someone else. See if you can imagine yourself needing to spoonfeed and bathe Chris ... or him doing the same for you in later life. Finding comfort in romance is also wonderfully rewarding. Glowing candles and moonlight kisses instead of burning down the house. There is someone here who often reminds me to go back and recall his favorite page Kirk posted on Binky and JoJo .. :).<BR>
<BR>
I've joked and chatted with jackryhme. He is lots of fun and packed with passion. I believe the same of Kevin, so I have tried to follow what I can of what you two write. So many talented and budding poets on this website just keeps me coming back and reading. Cheers to all for the courage and ability to share here ..... Rennie

Hi Blender Peeps - have been away in Nottingham for the weekend (Vish - met with Ben, PP very happy) and am just catching up on all the great work.<BR>
<BR>
BK - Sorry to hear about your Uncle. I lost my father through cancer quite a few years ago. You go through so many emotions, Love, grief, anger etc. But in the end it was almost a relief because it meant that he wasnt suffering anymore. The pain eventually goes but you never stop missing them.<BR>
Sometimes I think hes with me though.
