darwin, about <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2006.08.10.19.19.21803">hidden </a>: i can't think of many pieces i've read that were more thought provoking than this one.  so much so that i've had to read and think since you posted just to formulate some semblance of an intelligent response.  it won't happen, sorry.  this made me very introspective, flashbacks, visions of the future, ....  all of the above and all practically all at once.  i even woke up this morning with parts of this in my head!  curtailing a ramble here on the board, let me simply say thanks for this incredibly awesome submit.<BR>

well, crap, thanks y'all!!!  hidden was one of those works where it wrote itself more than anything.  know what I mean??? i think we all have those "hidden" things.  and sometimes they don't want to be anymore. <BR>
<BR>
so i have also come to get some help from you the writing community i've been a part of for years now.  i'm going to be writing an "advice" column for a local newspaper in my town, but I need to think of a name.  If any of you are familiar with savage love it will be a combination of that and "weirdness from the wire" if you've heard of that as well.  But you can pretty much make your own conclusions from that.  <BR>
<BR>
anyway, I need a name for it, and I'm drawing a blank...SO HELP ME!  y'all know my work and read it, so maybe you can formulate some idea from that?  or at the least, you can help me brainstorm one up. <BR>

Thank you aparajita; It goes from good to bad to worse. She's lost all her hair in just one treatment. But the good part is that she feels pretty good and she has a great spirit with this. We all pet her to death. My son shows up with this giant vase with seventy long stem three shades of pink roses in it. She tells everyone she meets about that. It was awesome. Time is what we want now. This one is a toughy. (I know you know)Thanks so much.<BR>
