Laurel; The ink poems are wonderful, But no matter what the topic I always enjoy reading your writing.I really like the latest; <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2003.12.07.02.22.6090">The Pen</a> is very well written.<BR>
<BR>
Kirk; If you have any shirts left over, size large, then let me know. If not I'll wait for the next batch.  <BR>
<BR>
LoveDog; I'm with you sorta, it's upsetting to see out and out fights on the boards. Even worse to be the victim of them. We are all different (what a concept) If we could just give everyone the right to their own opinion without getting into the bickering,and barbedwire word fests. This is a FREE site thanks to Kirk which is why I love this place. But I will tell you, I won't sit back without commenting and let the bullies have the boards. Sorry Charlie, just won't ha. Somehow it seems to happen right before a full moon which is now. <BR>

New Blender is here.  Cool feature this month, yesterday this woman writes to tell me for a class she illustrated Yee and Lan, "hope that's ok, and can I put it online"... I'm glad she did!<BR>
<BR>
Apologies for being less communicative than sometimes. Been a little overwhelmed, with shirts and otherwise...also, it looks like Mo and myself are headed for a breakup, alas. I will try to catchup on correspondance today.

~*~B.K.~*~ Thanks so much! It was a tough one to get out of my head and onto paper. Sometimes you just don't want to admit things with such permanency as ink or times new roman. Ah well. Suck Face and Metal and Lace were incredible. I wish I could look at the world and see the words you do to describe it.<BR>
<BR>
~*~All~*~ Sometimes even spell check doesn't help the late night writing process. I'll try to be more careful and catch the misuse of words next time. whole=hole in the Pen...my apologies.<BR>
<BR>
Congrats to all front page picks!

Kirk,<BR>
I hate to hear that. If you and Mo really do part ways, I hope it's amicable.
