Thanks so much. I didn't KNOW that about the comma after poem. See how much you are helping me?

That IS confusing on the relationship business, isn't it? Not sure I have that down.

Okay, I'll give this a shot: Suddenly, without warning, I was doubled over in pain. After four hours in the emergency room, the doctors ordered a catscan which showed evidence of kidney stones. It was soon determined, however, that I would be admitted for further observation. Why had I just written ...

For some reason I'm still missing some posts even though I've checked that box. I've noticed that on various threads. And I have checked my spam box too and they are not there. I can't figure out what is happening. If I can remember (sometimes this fibro brain fog is so irritating) I'll check with m...

I'm playing catch up here. I made a slight detour. I've been in the hospital because of kidney stones. I'm jumping up and down because I got a gold star from Jan, even though I also got a slap on the wrist for changing tenses. (Can't believe I didn't notice that...right after we had that lesson, too...

"Mom, I'm going with Ashley and Tiffani to the movies tonight, okay?" yelled Jocelyn as she threw her books on the table and raced for the fridge. "What movie?" "Spring Break Axe Murderer. And before you start, all the other kids get to go." "You know I don't like ...

After reading all the others, mine sounds so blah. Sorry, I TOLD you I would have difficulty with this. I guess I needed to embroider the story a little more, right?

(I would use the excuse that I've had a really bad fibro day--which is true-- but it still wouldn't help me write this.) :lol:

All I have read so far is your lesson, not other's entries. I just want to say first off, THIS IS WAY BEYOND MY SKILL LEVEL. Like I said, I don't write fiction. I have a difficult enough time writing prose. But I want to try this assignment anyway. Gotta learn sometime, right? I just can't do it rig...

I feel really dumb here. But I'm not seeing what Jan's talking about so I don't miss a post. Can someone help me out?

Jim, you make a very good point. One thing I am trying to do since I live so far from my grandchildren...write a few little letters by hand to just remind them how much I love them. Most of them are still very small and receiving mail is still a big deal. Well, come to think of it, receiving handwri...
