Thanks Rennie ~ You're like the Blender Mom. Always encouraging, caring, diffusing fights, feeding us (with wisdom, not food. But you COULD send me some homemade chocolate chip cookies. [I like the soft-chewy-chunk ones better than the crunchy-dip-in-milk ones])
I'm glad you're here. Your mind is a pleasure to contemplate and I feel that if I were to have known you in 'real' life we would have spent MANY an evening on the porch sharing our philosophies and observations of life and humanity and discussing them long into the night. In my circles, I'm often the one people come to when they want to bounce something off someone and get insight into their concerns, rather than the other way around. But I sense that you are the sort of person I could do that with when I just can't seem to rationalize one of my own concerns. Luckily I have a wonderfully intelligent and insightful mom I can turn to for that. And lucky for the ones who don't have what I do, that they have YOU.
You make a difference. And I think it heals you too.
:-)

davey: I Still Do was so sweet!
Indefensible Sushi: Oh how I can relate! My boys watch Sesame Street twice a day every day and my husband wonders why I know every word to every song and every book.
Indefensible Sushi: Sorry. By the way, that comment was for "C" Is For Cookie
Passion_Painter: "Death" by Omission was breathtaking. I'm sorry for your sadness. I hope you find happiness soon.
Pam: Did you read that last message? YOu're rubbing off on me. That's so nice.
I want cookies toooooooooooooooooo.
Jim
good grief, sush ... Cookie indeed! You had to make it even worse by going and using the words from old family clan on me to boot! ..... Rennie
ok.... now, i know ya'll don't know me that well still, but i want to be included in the cookie fest too!! and, rennie, i would even try the chew bones if they are homemade!! lol
carol... to all the ones that made me cry i LOVED your poem. it is well written and really made me think of some forgotten memories. thank you for this wonderful submission. do this again!!! :)
footballdude... i really like this side of you. i had you pegged for a softie on the inside and i am glad you are able to express it here. you were right, i did like the one you sent especially to the ladies. thanks.
kindred... i really like your style. i have to get all intellectual when reading yours because my mind just takes off in several directions. i am enjoying all your subs so much, hard to choose a fav, when forcing myself to just choose one i chose Dreams to top the list. felt like a verbal slow dance to me.
lady... i really really liked 'she lion'. this was too good!
passion painter... "Death" by Omission touched me to my very core
coujeaux... i am so glad to read you again. i have missed you and i still am trying to charter your fan club!
davey... I Still Do, this was so wonderful. i smiled, i cried, i remembered, i dreamed. thank you so much for sharing this one.
dana... i appreciate you too! desperate to flee i have been here. so often, i feel like i am looking in a mirror to my past when reading you. believe me this life phase will be over all too soon.
chances... thank you for [[2003.05.21.05.52.20355, this touched me too.
sorry for the delay in commenting thus creating this long one. there are way too many others that i have enjoyed, put simply, there is not one thing by anyone that i have not wanted to quit reading.
kirk.... thanks so much.... sending you a cyber hug
((((((((kirk)))))))))))))
Yeah, that was a shameless request for some of Rennie's cookies. It's a decent love song as well--albeit for an inanimate food-product. ;)
silly me...
chances, my apologies.... Tears at Me is the referenced sub.
painfully red in the face right now.....
aparajita, i really likedstop me, it is something like im feeling now. As i might have already told you, love ur work!
