Hi Phred, It must get very annoying and why even bother asking a lady friend out if that is what he does all the time! Thanks for a lovely comment, Hugs and blessings Jennifer

Well said Jennifer. I've was out with a guy like that once. I was young and turned the tables on him. I told him it was okay for him to look at other girls. I was looking at other guys. Love this. God Bless and Happy Easter to you and yours. Praise The Lord! He Is Risen! JB

This is such a nice entry my dear friend... It's a sad situation holding partner's hand and staring another beauty... I didn't see the winner's list, but I hope this did win. Am not getting much time for Soup Jenni, maybe after some more days, I'll catch up... Have a sweet day dear... Hugs.. ~ Ani

Well, sad that a man would look at another woman while holding his wife or girlfriend's hand. Creative entry. Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara

Back with congratulations my friend. Well done. So happy to see it on the winners list! A great lesson for guys with wandering eyes and the effect it has on the ones they profess to love! All the best. Sending you blessings of Holy Week!

Thank-you Sam, such a kind sweet comment - we had so called friends, a couple, and he was the biggest womanizer i have ever seen, the compliments and looks he gave me and any woman within his gaze space were quite appalling. Blessings to you also Sam we celebrate Easter in May Easter Sunday being the 2nd May (we are Greek Orthodox and go according to the Julian Calendar as do the Russians and Eastern Europe whereas Christians all over the Western world go according to the Gregorian Calendar. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Hi Joseph, you made my day, I confused Tableau 1 with Tableau 2 and when I looked at Tableau 1 (which I didn't even enter,) I did not see my name on on the contest judged sheet I figured, oh well I didn't make it, however, when going into the winners list of Tableau 2 and saw my name, realized I had made an error - thanks Joseph I was thrilled when I realized my mistake and saw my win! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Unfortunately my friend Lindsay you are right - they don't realize how they hurt their girlfriends, partners fiances or wives - it is an addiction I would say! Thank you for a great comment, hope you are all well. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

OH HO!! I see you chose the same picture as I did. That was sure a fun one to do. Good on you, jennifer!!

Hey Andrea, I think it was because I was stressed for a few weeks, but I thought I had entered contest one (which I never did) and only realized my mistake today when I saw I was a winner in Tableau 2 Hugs, Jenn.

Thanks Andrea and wonderful that you got a top win really awesome, I enjoyed it but it didn't score at all this time, it was a fun contest though. Hugs, Jennifer.

Hmmmmm It's awful to have to walk past a construction site. Now I'm an old lady but when young I would avoid it. Good job here. God Bless, JB

So right you are. I was 19 years old and after having graduated (Matric as we say) at High school, went to learn Shorthand and typing, we used to finish at 2.30 and on my way home I used to stop by the village pool mainly to suntan - we did not know the dangers then. I left at about 4.15 and was chased and followed block by block by a blue car, he cut me off and spoke to me in English and Afrikaans, he knew I was Greek and who I was and my comings and goings, I will leave you in suspense as I am going to write a poem about it. Blessings Judy, Jennifer.

I made a huge error, for some reason I looked at Tableau l (which I didn't even enter, and the noticed my name on Joseph's judged contest page and saw I was one of the winners - I have started to eventually come right, a very stressful period in my life) Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Very clever take on the contest prompt! Men's wandering eyes do get them into trouble - for centuries! This is filled with such wise observation Jennifer. Best of wishes for the contest. Blessings and a hug! Hope you are doing well.

Elias sounds like a wonderful husband and soulmate. What a blessing that you two found one another after your experience with your first husband. God is good. Your marriage now is a beautiful example of a nurturing marriage. Blessings.

Hi Sam, This is my 2nd marriage of 20 years now and I have a loving, wonderful husband. My ex husband was one of the types my poem is about of. Eventually I refused to go out to dinner because he was not with me in mind, just trying to catch women's eyes so he could flirt. That was only one of his faults, there were others, but that is History now. Thank-you for commenting my friend, a thoughtful answer, hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
