But I have enjoyed all the others as well. Keep writing, posting, reading and commenting. Ever post deserves many more comments than they are getting. Gail Editor's Choices updated March 8 2010 The editor's choices has been updated. Many good stories, poems and memories. Gail February new writers In February we had three new writers. Melvanie Wood, Monte Leon Manka, and Amber Landers. Let me know if I missed anybody! They brought some new styles and great reading. Check them out and leave them a comment and they will be your friend for life. As always, Gail Updated Comments 02/25/2010 Lots of new posts and that has generated a lot of comments. Monte has been hiding his light under a busher basket or just hoarding his memories. So glad many are enjoying his poems as much as I do.

Making A Difference One Starfish At A Time by Debbi Denis You’re driving down the road and see a dead animal on the side. Have you ever wondered how a domesticated animal can’t make it in the wild but yet, a human being can. Have you ever wondered what pain and misery that person goes through day after day, or would you rather not think about it? Like a wolf fighting for food, that person fights for life. My heart has always gone out to homeless people, for this reason; select "more" to read the entire peice.
Two good things: first to see you posting here and second the good news that you won. I'll look forward to reading the story later on. Congrats, Friend. Nancy Created For You and Me Aaaahh, a beginning and an end you say. The last I heard, scientists were never looking for an end, but only the beginning as they go farther and farther back. On the other hand, it may be closer than we think. Did not Christ say, "I am the beginning and the end?" Maybe we are looking in the wrong direction. Fred Artist V Very nice word-picture that you've created here. I like looking at vintage barns and I do take photos of them too. Remembering What a delightful peek "back in time" to some scenes and events in your life! Reading this, along with your wonderful book, BLAME IT ON PEACHES, always inspires and brings a new respect for your respect and love for all creatures, including humans who are fortunate to call you friend. Since I wrote my comment re having trouble being notified re the comments of others - no more problems. It works just fine now- thanx to the efforts of Scott and Gail I'm sure. Leo Grillo/Delta Rescue Leo Grillo is to be commended. He is not the only one who turned to national organizations asking for help only to be refused. The same problem happened when my friend Tracy and I worked to rescue the cats left behind in an abandoned trailer park. See TRACY'S CAT HOUSE, Ourecho ID #4330. Fred |
