dee - I liked your latest - good luck. Is it for the Archies? In all your works, I've noticed you paint the bestest lips.

No, the National Works on Paper aquisition exhibition.... the Archies have introduced a clause to say that you have to get a signed letter from the person who your portait is of to prove it was done from life... i don't paint from life pretty much, so there isn't any way I can enter that.<BR>

Thanks by the way.

<a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2003.04.06.09.59.6280">Moments</a> is an interesting exercise.  All of our choices affect our lives, and I am a better and more complete person for knowing and loving them all, even the ones who didn't drastically change my life.  Wish it was easy as picking a TV though.<BR>

Kirk~ thanks much for the pick. My local friends are really laughing, knowing how tough it is to feed me sweet or get it from me :). Congrats to all on the picks and everyone who made last month a steady and enjoyable amount of visual entertainment. Each of these picks were ones I know I read more than once to fully enjoy and absorb ..... Rennie

Rennie that's funny, the same mistake I made in the last poem. Ever/Never ha You saw it didn't you? Hope you are feeling better.<BR>
<BR>
Well guys, I am saying goodbye for a bit. Nothings happened, I just have many things I need to catch up on. I will check in with you guys to see what's going on and will probably be back with more poetry in a few months. Just taking a break for now. Keep up the good work!<BR>

Kirk~ On the ramble, I think people find it harder to tell a person they really like them than to say they love them when they do. "You're so cool" is a great way to say you like someone, but cool works for me in like and love. I'm beginning to accept any expression related to like and love, even Joe Millionaire saying he thinks a babe is really "hot" ... hummmmm, wonder how she might have taken the "you're so cool" outta him? .....

Indefensible, by a strange twist of fate just about anybody coulda gotten the same results, merely by waiting til the end of a first weekend where I hadn't yet posted.  (or to be *really* powerful, wait until you notice that the option to view last months poems is gone from the newmatic viewer...and then you can even find the digest-in-process at the archive URL (like <a href="http://loveblender.com/2003may/">http://loveblender.com/2003may/</a> )<BR>
Heck, with that trick you can even predict the front page picks, and be not just getting results, but prescient as well!)
