Welcome Abogada, really enjoyed your piece, especially the last two lines.<BR>
<BR>
Welcome Slaric, its not easy to open your heart the way you have, I always find it cathartic and often recognise experiences in other peoples work. I hope to see you here again soon.

Thanks for the front page pick.  It brightened my day.  <BR>
<BR>
Pam-- I hope you're doing well and enjoying life.  Nice to see your name on the message board. So Rennie and her Captain are sailing the seven seas, huh? That sounds like such a romantic adventure.  (Of course, both times I tried to go out into the ocean on a boat I got so sick that I think I even threw the Dramamine.)<BR>
<BR>
Ladyinwaiting-- I'm glad to see you're still lurking around here.  I'm sorry that you're having a rough time right now.  My thoughts are with you and your loved ones.<BR>
<BR>
I see quite a few names that are new to me.  I hope the "newbies" will stick around and keep writing. The board seens to have a little more diversity lately.<BR>
<BR>
Kirk-- I started out writing under "Kase", but forgot my password and had to put that dumb exclaimation mark after my name. Is there any way you get my password emailed to me, or is it lost in cyberspace somewhere? Again, thanks for the front page pick.<BR>
<BR>

Slaric; that's some pretty heavy stuff to lay on us for a beginning. Welcome to the blender of love. I like your work. Hope you'll write more for us.<BR>
<BR>
Abagoda; Likewise welcome to the blender. We're a eclectic bunch from all over the globe. Hope you enjoy it here and post more for us.<BR>
<BR>
Juan; Thanks for your comment. Just trying to not let the dreariness of winter get to me.  I've been enjoying your latest work as well. I've been reading Stephen King's book on writing that I bought for someone for xmas. (They won't get it till I'm through ha) He's funny and though I'm not wild about horror, I find he's a real person. Anyway it's a quick read and this book is sort of agging me on and making me think more about just relaxing and letting words flow. He talks of waking up from a flight to London with the outline of Misery in his head and then writing it on a desk (at the hotel) that belonged to Kipling. Turns out it was the one he died at (had a stroke) Just little tales spun in with some advice and how to. <BR>
