Mea culpa!! I thought I was posting from @freewritehouse. How much more closely I need to watch these things - and verify, verify, verify!

The void.... it does get filled, eventually, by new people, right? In the cemetery on a young WWI soldier's headstone I saw this: A loved one from us has gone; a voice we loved is stilled; a vacant place

Thank YOU, my friend!

Sage, fresh rosemary, thyme - and roasted chicken, with or without butter, garlic, and onion, I can smell it from here... with cranberry sauce, potatoes and gravy, sage dressing, pumpkin pie, and all the

You're bursting with so much good news, while I'm still struggling with wallet transfers and delegations. I tried again today. First, by trying to revoke a delegation. I found the right buttons. The

When our high school buddies die, it feels much too soon, even if we have since become parents of high school grads ourselves. I'm sorry for your loss. (And I love that name, Kicklighter.) What an awful

Thank you, Yahia, for a sneak preview (ARC) of the book - it allowed me to get my "review" posted today. Well, I sent one to Amazon, but that doesn't mean they'll accept it. I can't find a link

p.s. what does the #acom tag stand for?

Looks yummy! Now to see if I can substitute ingredients for a gluten-, egg- and dairy-free version of this. What is caramel without butter, pecan pie without eggs? It may take me a lifetime to find

This reads like the plot of a thriller novel, with espionage, government corruption from the local to the highest levels, duped citizens, a minority of thinkers who oppose the creeping regime, the police

I love how this reads like chapter and verse of an Old Testament Bible story. It made me keep hoping for an angel to appear and prevent Gilham's apparently imminent "End." No such luck. His last

Hilarious, indeed, a fun read, just what we need - and now YOU need more walking trails, or better marked and maintained trails near you. Hardly ever outside - surely when the dust settles and you clear

LOL!! I love it - even the writer doesn't know what just happened for sure, or what's about to happen, with these 5-minute freewrites. The suspsense builds. Only one way to find out what's next: KEEP WRITING!

Thank you for the sunflower image (glorious!) and the kind words, Yahia! Wishing you every happiness and joy. :)

Cardboard doll furniture - you too!! How many other pleasant childhood memories lie buried beneath the detritus of the years.... let's keep excavating!

How cool is that - a reader who thanks you for articulating what he could not, as a fellow fan of Nietzsche, and your call to Oxford, and of course your handwritten aphorisms. I love the one on not blaming

Miniatures who came to life!!! Did you read The Borrowers? I loved those books and insisted that my dolls came to life at night. In their little town. You had Breyer horses....!!! What treasures! I can't

Well, if Romeo is happy in his little cage, ok... but I would be happy knowing you had another Maine Coon in your life. Who wouldn't want one. (Uh, my husband.) I will love Romeo from afar. :)
