I like the title for <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2003.05.12.19.08.15768">Oak and Coral</a>...and I want to add that your titles for your poems usually catch my attention...It has inspired me to be more creative with my own titles...You have made reference about Cupid in some of your submissions and that has triggered some thoughts of my own of Cupid...<BR>

CryingShame~ I'll be listening for the whoops when you get that painting from dee! Hanging art is so good for us. A friend sent me a large award winning photo as a gift a couple years ago. I completely redecorated a room around it. Indoor change of scenery, a real rejuvenation, being the first time I'd felt or desired to revamp around me after being so ill. I'll need to redecorate again now that the inside of my place has been treated like a car inside an automatic car wash with the windows rolled down :).  <BR>
<BR>
Pam, I made note, about Jim: I'm gonna have to wait until he's asleep and off watch. Then I'll have my darling Captain sail me in for mayhem on him. Ahem, only then might I pull the plug on Jim's dingy. Seems there's no other way to get past his poetry blockades and broadsides :). He IS too much fun, very sharp and witty. Best of all, a good sport here with the two of us messing with him. You both remind me of very kind and creative friends from past years ..... Rennie

jim~ out of this "cast and crew," Maggie's currently trying to renegotiate the length of her chain from the galley to the keyboard. But I left ya a tidbit that might inspire other visions of the sea you're good at writing about. Something not mine, but an old fav bit of imagery ..... Rennie

Sorry for such a long ramble last night, everyone.... I guess I should just mind my own business sometimes, based upon an email I recieved from a certain person here.  I didn't mean to offend ANYONE, and I apologize to everyone, execpt the person that sent me such a vulgar enail.  <BR>

To you know who you are---If you threaten my child again, on paper or any other way, you will find out that I react like a viper: I only strike once, but thats all it takes to kill.  Keep that in mind, asshole.

Dana and Pam--  Thanks for the compliments!  "My Little Boogieman" was a repost, but I couldn't resist.  May you both be blessed with many smooches from the men of your dreams.

kase... you said everything i was trying to say and somehow did not.  i appreciate your words and your concern that was expressed<BR>
<BR>
jessica...  kase was right about several things; mostly that we all care or we would not even be trying to help you in the only way we can.  please read what she wrote to you again, and share the same with carol.  you two take care of each other, you will be sisters for the rest of your lives; and, if you do then the special relationship you could share and the bond you would have would be strong enough to get you both through so much.  i wish someone would have told me these things when i was your age.  it would have saved me from making many many mistakes i made.
