...last one, I promise. I had to share this 'cause it is so rich. It's Chinese for debt and the pronunciation is "jay." This is hilarious because I am in debt very deeply and it's partly because of a jerk named Jay. Ha. They have Chinese for everything at that site...yuppie, diarrhea, death penalty, poet, prisoner, water buffalo. It's bizarre.

AH!  To be there at this very moment! (Yes, I'm aware that it's well before noon CDT.)<BR>
<BR>
And there's also that beer emporium in uptown Dallas... very much like a Saucer... is it one?  I can't remember.  NOT remembering THAT place was always a bit of a recurring theme.<BR>

That's MY kinda beer! Icy cold with lime juice and salt on the rim. When I was in seventh grade I wore a yellow Corona t-shirt on a youth group outing to the bowling alley. Everyone was staring at me and I didn't know why.<BR>
<BR>
In college I was all about Budweiser and then I evolved to Shiner Bock. When I was living on tortilla chips and jalapenos in the boondocks of North Central Texas (Bridgeport) I would buy Red Dog on occasion. It wasn't too expensive and it went down pretty smooth. <BR>
<BR>
I've also enjoyed Red Stripe, Heineken, MGD (I went in a biker bar in East Texas with my husband once and I was so flustered I asked for an MGM...that's where we stay in Vegas...the bartender said,"You mean MGD??!!")and Tecate. Now I'm all about Corona.<BR>
<BR>

wolfscreamer~ no need to apologize. I was just reading your latest subs. I welcome crits from anyone. You've always been kind in your comments. Most of the folks who crit my poetry read but don't post here. THE BACKYARD BRIGANTINE has been royally raked over elsewhere, with my permission, since I posted it here. A note here: I had promised to post often since the start of a reunion last year. 1 AM July 11th for me here, and that bunch is in reunion again. The size of my account should prove I can keep to a promise even when not hitting on all cylinders. That promise is null and void today. Love and romance is a stretch for me to write, especially after time so critically ill. I am doing good to write a grocery list. Recovery from critical illness and time in comas is no cakewalk. Kind support and reality checks are essential for recovery. wolfscreamer, I've been a writer for 40+ years now. I am used to being chewed-up and spit-out on a regular basis. I was poking fun at someone who has really given me a push too long with my off-the-wall comments a few day back ("dear editur"). Any creative soul has to learn to deal with crits. Lovers have to deal with trying to express themselves well AND with chemistry. Unrequited love hurts...so does being pursued by someone you don't want. You seem to be a dear man. I wish you well in finding someone who has a real chemical and physical reaction with you. It is sad to know that there are so many unrequited lovers out there ... more sad to know there are so many who have a perfect match waiting to be found somewhere and never find them. Look what the journey in putting Loveblender did for Kirk. My poetry website was "DRAGONHAIME" that brought the love of my life into my life. I had gotten reviews on the big version of it (smaller piece of it elsewhere) by some folks like Poetry Today Online, the Tampa Bay Poets Society and others. I lost the ability to function enough to work that site in March of 2000 in medical treatments. I'm in the process of rebuilding the site again. I'll write some poetry about some exotic ports-o-call next. I thought my life was over. Little did I know that love would bring me back. There is some real satisfaction in writing how we really feel. Some fun in writing as a character about characters. I've had an amazing life. I'm going out and grab on to the wind again. However you enjoy life best, wolfscreamer, good luck to you ..... Rennie
