Stephen; Pretty funny but you know those countries don't use the artificail ingredients we do. Their foods are pretty natural and they eat less in the case of the Orientals and they drink more wine in the case of the Europeans. Their beers and wines are whole foods with no yucky stuff to make them last for years. They even feed it to their kids. I would bet money they are not as medicated as we are either. Which might go to show that less is more.<BR>

Dear Stephen~~ I decided to check-out your poetry Blender account this morning while having breakfast. I'm going to have to read you in installments :). I did pick some selections for a start since I wanted a taste. I especially enjoyed your Theatre Rat and the Shipwrecked works (and the recent tadpoles), so decided to stop and say so here .....

jack~~ sure -- more, more! Running late here :). I like these characters. Please tell me she resembles the Dark Angel instead of Britney Spears. Hope I have the blocking and costumes right on them. BTW, you should correct me on the last two lines of Yes, Memorial, no? Come on, I promise not to hit ya with anything I lob back yer way (fingers crossed behind back as usual):<BR>
<BR>
Enough cold memorials to last forever,<BR>
I need your warmth now more than ever.<BR>
<BR>
or give me some other twists on the whole, eh? And, tell me which beach the bottle will land on this time con message. I got sunburn out looking for your last crit.<BR>

K, on your gal? This real fantasy (oxymorons, aside). She morphing, shapechanging, or we just seein' her with predator-like grace. You know me, I'd have him tied to the mast already, sailor ..... Rennie

jack~~ guess the last Mem line was more statement than part of the three previous lines. And, I used "warmth" first as in romance, but was too adamant about heat and cold in balance, so got the map gas out and started a fire. Thanks, I'll drag it out several more times and think about the statements and desires there .... and for you ....<BR>
B&B: Cast iron? We dating this? The property master is offering me tiki torches or candles. I'm negotiating for the keys to the props and wardrobe rooms for this one. Can we surprise accounting and go under budget with make-up? I imagine them gorgeous and nowhere near nightmarish. Okay, okay, LadyHawk it if you want a blonde. I'll take any color nowdays, even fey mossy-green. Personally, I'd like to see him in a loin cloth, but I'll take anything from Braveheart to Bladerunner with these two ... long as you don't go Norman Mailer on me and have her hissing and sliding down an Egyptian hallway. Then again, I'll enjoy reading it however you write it ..... Rennie

BK~~ Though I don't want to turn it into a debate, the idea of natural being better is a funny fad or myth Americans have been lately following. I agree about eating less, since obviously tons of Carls or Jack is going to catch up with you, but really I believe the main contributing answers lie in the differences between lifestyles when comparing Americans with other countries. We’re a fast paced people and expose our bodies to sudden shifts in eating patterns instead of living a life of routine or minimal change in diet or stress levels. At least this is mainly so, or used to be so, in the Silicon Valley of California....Could be different for other parts of the country.<BR>
<BR>
Rennie~~ Ahh neat, thanks for taking a look. Yea, just fair warning, I have some good stuff, but you have to wade out the majority of crap first. ;-)

Stephen~~ well, enjoying the read. I have gotten to enjoy the gamut of emotions myself in life. My life's been shared in love and romance for real or in character here ... but never the gauntlet at Blender :). Do you have one particular work of your own that is a real personal favorite? .....

It's really hard to pick a favorite...   but as stupid as it sounds, the poems I like to go back and look at the most are the ansi art ones... Like Apple...etc     for the eyecandy effect I guess.
