Way to go, Carolyn. I see you won. I am curious about something. I am seeing some of these with the word footle written next to them. WAs that part of the requirement to win? I feel disappointed if I lost for that reason!

Gee carol that was short and good as usual, thank you for being their as always, anyway how is your health any better? I am going on a radio station on Sunday to plug my second book, the person that runs the show is a personal friend and she is a great Christian lady, Her show is called Food for Thought and it is the same name as my book, The Lord works in strange ways, anyhow I will plug poetry soup and it's members, can I mention you? If it's all right. God bless

'Nuff Said Night Nite! PERFECT! Reminds me of the scene in Indiana Jones when the showy Judo dude wants to beat "the you know what" out of Indy. The villain, upon finishing his fancy display of moves, is simply shot to death by a single effortless pull of the trigger from an unimpressed Harrison Ford! Don't ask me why and where the connection!?! I suppose it's the easy obvious choice of the whole death scene thinga ma Jig! or something!?? dunno? :) ~JSLambert
