Rennie - you really are a cool cat. I 2nd whatever BK says about ya. I am going to Tn in Aug; we three must sit a spell to chat.
SUSHI's - don't go away again. Now that you are a Texan, I don't see you 'round town. Did see a guy wearing a Flying Saucer - Ft. Worth tee-shirt yesterday. Thought IMMEDIATELY of you.
magnetic fridgie - Whoopee! Welcome. I loved Isolated Incident. The floating 's' was a wonderful touch. You can post away to your little heart's content. We love new blood at the blender. Gets our juices moving.

Koblo; Ah ha, your last poem, the way the words are written is closer to another writer we know and love here. If this is you Jack we're going to beat you when you get home.

...I like this one, too. I shouldn't get a tattoo. I'll change my mind an hour after I get it done. There are too many possibilities.

...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.
Misti,
I enjoyed the sites you posted on the board...I have a uniform/scrub with chinese symbols with peace, serentity, etc that I wear when I am working as licensed massage therapist...
Rhetoric,
You helped spark a memory when you mentioned the Flying Saucer in Ft Worth...i was there on a hot day Saturday afternoon in June and sampled a few...found my favorite brew...

The Saucer! LOL!
Ft. Worth, Addison and Lower Greenville... I know them all and the beers therein!
AH! To be there at this very moment! (Yes, I'm aware that it's well before noon CDT.)
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.

Pam: I thought your clock piece was great but I guess you have to be satisfied with it. Thanks for your positive thoughts on working this weekend but I probably won't buy myself something pretty. Talk to you soon. - Dana
cryingshame~
I've been considering becoming a massage therapist. Would you please e-mail me (if you get time) information on how long it took you to become licensed and how much it cost, etc.? I sure would appreciate it.
Rennie
Neat packages.....Start and middle bits are ok , end bits need some work cos we are never there and would like to be lol.
Thanks for the prose comment also.

wolfscreamer ~ thank you for the compliment...umm, yes rent is due...I loved your submission 'Not yours to lose'...how sad to awaken to the reality that sometimes they are not ours and never were, even as much as we pretend, wish and hope...things are still sunny on my side of the fence...just having a down day, but it will pass as all things do...have missed you and your works dear...

Pam,
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.
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.
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.
Thanks again for the helpful e-mails!!!! Salud!!!!
ladyinwaiting......Down day ?? Whats up ??
...how can you possibly keep ALL THOSE PROMISES????
Just Some Movie Quote
wolfscreamer~ thanks for taking the time to comment, but it is only a loose piece of a statement (reply to something written to me)...not a finished work or worth taking a © on (if you noticed the lack of that) ..... Rennie
The Gingerman!!!
That's the name of the place I was thinking of!
(Man, that was driving me nuts)
Sorta like the Saucer 'cept no plates on the ceiling.
Acid47rain,
Sorry to hear your precious pet is struggling to survive...sending healing prayers...
Coujeaux,
Glad to see you posting your stuff again...I always print your stuff on my computer at work and read it during breaks...I am still big fan of your poems!
Dana,
How are your feet? Ask hubby to massage them after a long night at work...
Pam
It's not clear to me why "rest of the group" et al. had to work so hard to goad me into shutting off access to the account. Is it that hard to just not post?
Rennie. My comment on Neat packages wasn,t written as any form of criticism, I meant that the start and middle bits of our lives are ok but we aren,t there at the end.Apologies if thats the way it seemed.
Mark will pretend to leave. He will never actually leave. Not as long as I'm still here. He writes horrible things about me here but I know he doesn't really hate me. He can't get over me and that is the problem. You know I still love you. You have my number.
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
