Thank you, @silvertop! It's an exciting and busy time.

Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your experience, @hopefulsoul.

What a heartbreaking story, @zain-ab001. I cannot imagine being a mother or a sister of a boy who goes missing. Many children are abducted every year. I liked your ending, and how Clara's pregnancy brought

How great to see you writing in The Ink Well, @jasonbu! And wow, you have a wonderful gift for storytelling. This one took my breath away. I was yelling, "No, Clara, no!!!" But your story suggests

Sounds amazing. I love travel. And it really is nice to splurge sometimes stay somewhere a little more upscale.

I’m with you about religion. I’m not anti-beliefs. I just can’t stand behind those who use it as an excuse to turn reason on its head and threaten or perpetrate harm against other living beings. You said

This made me laugh right out loud, @millycf1976. I'm so glad the bite wasn't a bee! (I assume wasps have different venom and you're not similarly allergic?) So good of you to be prepared to give that guy

Oh how fabulous is that? I hope you find one you love. I finally decided to go for an e-bike to preserve my knees going up hills!

Thank you for that helpful tip, @silvertop. Who knew??

Oh no! I hope the pain is short lived! That does not sound like fun at all.

Ooh! Yes, I love both color and black and white photography. I’ll certainly check out that community. That’s the cutest little gator snout. (Though I’d prefer to see it in your photo than up close and

How wonderful! The color of lemons and sunflowers is truly one of the happiest and sweetest colors!

Yes, he was captured. I did a cheer! As you said, it can’t bring back the lives lost but at least the guy will pay for his crimes. Thanks for stopping by, @vvodjiu.

Yes, it truly is a marvelous sight, @tattoodjay! I look forward to it all through our long cold winter.

Wow, that really is interesting! When I lived in Portland, the snow never lasted long, and I do remember it being green in winter. Does the snow last long where you are, @silvertop?
