(((Varda))), there are lines you've written lately that make me feel akin in old feelings, too much like fraternal writing twins in the way I've personally read you. You've expressed yourself so well that I am compelled to go back and read you again and again ...... Rennie

Kirk, not quite sure of the significance of the sadness, but my condolences just the same ...... Rennie

Here's an Early Thanksgiving Wish!<BR>
<BR>
HAPPY THANKSGIVING BLENDERITES! We all are blessed with each other that's for certain! Thanks to Kirk for being the keeper that you are!<BR>
I'm thankful for so many blessings in my life...Let's all pray for our troops and their families :) Special ones for the travelers...<BR>
<BR>
Speaking of traveling--I landed free tickets (thankful for this, too) to the Ark/LSU football game being played in Baton Rouge on Friday afternoon after Thanksgiving!  It should be another nail biter and I'm so excited I'll be there "if" LSU wins! Apa/Lady--<BR>
It's been a great year no matter what the outcome...I know you both are wishing for an upset--Your McFadden certainly is one that could make sure that happens! I sure would like to see that fella win the Heisman! Time will tell...<BR>
<BR>
Kirk, Thanks for the front page pick...you made my week! As always you've done a tremendous job here and I appreciate your dedication!<BR>
<BR>
Congrats to all that made the Thanksgiving Page--I had missed most of the submits and it was great catching up...Outstanding works!<BR>
<BR>
BK, Apa, Hairdiva, Lady, Rens, JWB,<BR>
I always appreciate your submits and comments--I can always depend on you for encouragment and friendship--I hope to meet you all face to face one day...<BR>
<BR>
Blessed23--it's nice to see you are humble, too :) I'm not your only fan around here! Btw, Love your "pen" (screen name) name here...<BR>
<BR>
Toodles!<BR>

Hey All; This place is my home away from home and I love ya'll for being here and Kirk for hosting us all<BR>
<BR>
I've got the next two days off to cook, eat and go to movies. I wish you all a lovely Turkey Day (don't eat too much) Trying to stick to veggies but my favorite is the dressing and I forgot the oysters (darn just thought of that) Gotta go back out again ugh.<BR>
<BR>
Rens; Einz is bouncing off the walls like daffy duck. How could anyone not laugh at a 7 month old puppy with his head down the toilet or making his crabby old  grandpa Cosmos sit up and take notice. He's more fun but whew he's a handful.<BR>

Found these ten myths about Thanksgiving that you all might like to see. Very Interesting.<BR>

Guys, thanks for your nice comments. It really feels cleansing to spill out my guts, it helps the loneliness to hear from others who have been there too, and a compliment on my writing is a nice spirit lifter. I hope that someday soon the poems will be happier. ;)<BR>

Hi everybody,<BR>
<BR>
I have been going through some tough times with my long term guy lately. I was hoping someone had a situation where they had problems and it actually worked out in the end to inspire me a bit. <BR>
<BR>
Anybody?<BR>
<BR>
Also, I just wanted to say I really enjoyed these newer writings:<BR>
<BR>
darwin - My Own Woman: I hope I get all the way there someday. Good for you!<BR>
<BR>
Harem - Vanilla, Chocolate... (or one of the other two titles): What great writing. You really drew me in. I really liked the comparison to wiping dust off a table.<BR>
<BR>
hollywoodfox - a different color: That's a pretty darn sexy kiss. I want one...<BR>
<BR>
And Rennie: I am happy to have someone like you see parts of me in yourself. Maybe you have some tips for me. <BR>
<BR>
Sweet dreams (enjoy the pies),<BR>
