aparjita - The pleasure would be mine. Please do!<BR>
<BR>
Jim - Thankyou for your lovely words. Love your work too.<BR>
<BR>
carol - I meant to get back to your earlier comment and forgot (till I saw it up the top today!). My poem was more or less inspired by all the bits on here that have mentioned makeup and that includes yours too (I will not admit that you caught me out on that one!). I'm glad you have a great guy by your side. btw, I used to be, and in some ways, still am, incredibly self-conscious also. Shyness is a huge symptom for me. Sympathise with you wholeheartedly on that one. <BR>

B.K.~ Another sweet poem to your darlin' ... such a treat to see your devotion. Check yer e-mail. I'm heading out to Rivergate now. <BR>
<BR>
Jim~ I've found such happiness in life, I hope you do the same after reading your latest. Thanks for some good laughs with you, ladyinwaiting and Chances on the mini-challenges here. The lines have filled some time in some miserable weather here. Which reminds me ...<BR>
<BR>
Gala~ what happened to the spring challenge? How's your best literary client coming along now with his poetry book? And, how's your nose healing now. This is allergy season here, no time to have a broken nose. You take care ..... Rennie

What an odd name.  I have been reading most of your entries, and you do far from scream.<BR>
If anything, your words are warm, soft, gentle, and soothing.  Just wanted to let you know, that I have been<BR>
enjoying reading your writing.  Can't say I have a favorite, for so far, I like them all.<BR>

And so I did.<BR>
You took my breath away.<BR>

Thanks Chances and Rennie and SCQueen. I could not stay away no matter how hard I tried. Everytime I sat down to the computer my fingers always slipped right back into the blender to take a peek and besides that I have to keep this love cronicled here as this is the spot and way I chose to do so from the very beginning. Besides that I just love you all and missed you too much..so much for the mushy part. I am far behind in my reading here but promise to catch up and comment soon. Thanks ya'll, hope you had a nice Easter Holiday. <BR>
<BR>
Rennie; Hope all is well with your mom. I understand completely as about the same thing is going on here as well, but we will overcome and get us all together soon for certain.<BR>

Champagne - Yes, sometimes if we couldn't laugh we'd cry. However, there have been more reads that are a LOT sadder posted in the past 24 hours.... Chances.
