been reading...been thinkin...I really need to make a comment or two on this ole board of love.<BR>
<BR>
gala:<a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.10.26.09.47.7917">dazzling one</a>  is another great entry from you. I love the imagery of the flitting humingbird.<BR>
<BR>
Stephen: I love that when I click on a post of yours, I am confident that I will read something that I wish I had written - meaning that it comes from me, not only captures me. <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.10.25.10.16.23627">Solar Light</a>  is triumphant. The holes of negative...great metaphor...<BR>
<BR>
Bridget O: I LOVE that song!  I am still a die-hard  Cure fan.<BR>
<BR>
spaceman: I love you!!!!!  You stuff just plain lites me up. Give us a post each day.<BR>
<BR>
BK:<a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.10.19.18.02.6721">Inamorata</a> is like a tornado funnel to me.  It spirals into the center of the piece.  Great use of verb.<BR>
<BR>
There are others...but I am forced to actually work right now, so til next time.<BR>
<BR>
By the way...heading to NYC next week for the 1st time.  Any restaurants (local and family-owned preferably) or special spots to recommend? I will be museuming and eating my way thru that place! I only have 4 days...so I must pick and choose.<BR>

I need some advice.  I live in a one bedroom apt.  Spacious, but not huge.  I have a two year old male cat and I want to adopt a little kitten. (female)  Should I do it, or do you think there would be issues?  And if i should, what should I name her?  lol... when in doubt, turn to the blender.  Thanks Guys! Love, Vi

RainbowChaser ~ I think you might be thinking we actually know each other in person. Though it might seem we have, most of us Blenderites have never met each other...with the exception of a few. And yeah, some are actually married to each other. We just know each other's hearts (or as much as we each expose them). At times there's been talk about some sort of gathering, but I don't think that's happened yet. We're pretty spread out. <BR>
<BR>
Where are you located? I wonder if there are any Blenderites in your particular area? I'm originally from British Columbia, Canada, but I'm in the Tri-Cities of Washington State at the moment. Then Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri from March to August. Probably Georgia (Fort Benning) next summer. Then Florida in a year after that. And then finally Virgina Beach, VA....whew!!!<BR>

BK and secondhandsmoke~Thank ya kindly. :-)<BR>

Rainbowchaser~From what I've seen and based on my limited knowledge of the internet community I'd have to say that the people here are some of the nicest around. Although I'm not on the board as often as I think I should be, this is a very easy board to get into and involved with. Pretty much just post away.<BR>
<BR>
(Digging up old topic)<BR>
<BR>
zero love~no you aren't alone. I usually feel embarassed about what I've written before my latest. <BR>
<BR>
Take care and all that. the next sentence is true. the last sentence is false......stuff<BR>

TJ <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.10.27.17.04.23262">Yeah</a>  packs a punch for so few words...anyone who has been in those shoes (lied to)can dredge up a hell of a lot of pain reading that...I hope for your sake it's not real...<BR>

Kevin <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.10.26.22.56.2891">blank</a>  is so good!  <BR>

Thanks Liz ~ "Yeah" is based on reality, just not RECENT events. The guy I have now hasn't done anything to prompt words of that kind. You just never forget the emotion brought about by those who do, ya know?<BR>

I AM SO PO'd with men in general.  I know all of them don't suck but sheesh my luck is terrible.  My ex beat the crap out of me a little over a month ago, and I still can't be all that rude to him on our site.  What the heck??  I just figured "let it go"  but he keeps doing things deliberately to hurt me.  You don't see me posted the pics of my bruises on my page. Why is it I can't be as hateful as he?????<BR>
