Sometimes this just goes to far...ha Obviously Trout and Sushi are one and the same and lady in waiting geeze saying you admire him and that Jesus was a rebel too..HA My advice is that you get fishing poles and go learn to fish.<BR>
<BR>
As for the weenie whiners on the boards, well I started reading back to the good times Misti was proclaiming. They weren't any different just different people same problems thats all and I miss some of them too. One part I read and this is exactly what I mean by weenie whiners was Jenna Holland who has been posting since she was about 12 here. She was smart enough then to know that you don't go BEGGING for attention on the boards. You post quietly and DON'T FLOOD THE BOARDS. If and when someone likes what you've written it will sooner or later be recognized.<BR>
<BR>
Misti cutie pie; You will most definately be missed by all here as your work stands solidly on it's own. (I saw the funniest board comment from you saying you had a crush on Pierce Bronson and that you had been as a teenager in love with Ricky Schroder. It's really funny to go back and read. There were some pretty good board fights then too.) Anyway the best of luck to you, and come play with us anytime.<BR>

Some of them actually take on a certain meaning. In a strange way. They even have a quality to them that makes me actually read more. Of course, I am angered at myself by this.

Hello once again fellow board members! It's been so long since I've been to visit this site! I see so many new members and a few of the old ones. Hopefully though, I am remembered by at least a few. I haven't had the chance to read any of the latest but I do plan to as soon as possible. First I just wanted to say hi to all the old and familiar writers and a hi and welcome to the new ones. I must say though...I was sad not to see anything from Jackryhme. I do hope he is still posting, he was such an amazing writer! As many of you were. Well, I hope all is doing well and stays well.

I can tell you all that Sarah is not a ten year old girl. She is 15. I would also like to say she was never trying to piss anyone off when she put those poems up there. One night i was just putting words together and started reading them to her just for fun. She liked them and thought I should post them. After that it was just a joke so she put a poem or two of hers on up here. It was just throwing words together that we had floating around in our head. Everyone also knows her as goosie, but when she tried to type more poems under that account it wouldnt work. Just thought I would set this story straight.<BR>

Sarah,  <BR>
My sincerest apologies.  To be 15, at least you're trying to write something.  Writing anything, good or bad, and posting it for others to read takes guts.  You have potential if you focus on more serious issues.  Don't let anyone, including us, bring you down.  Critism can help you develop your talents and we should help you do that and not be so harsh about it.  You're apparently having fun with your writing, and enjoying it.  That's what really counts--what your poetry does for YOU.  Ignore my earlier comments,  I'm just bitchy because I can't seem to write anything lately.  Keep trying.<BR>

You have had your five mins of no-fame here, so now make up for it and write something you can be proud of insead.
