I think I can, I think I can....

Yeah Karlene! Nice work! And Sarah, you are just flirting with the top spots there!

Oh wow, I forgot it was winning entries day....completely occupied this week....see ticker....

Congrats to all in the winner's circle!

(I haven't read any but I'm sure they're good.)

I can't remember what the topic word was, but there was one week some time ago that seemed to prompt quite a few menopausal stories. But for 'fire'--definitely OOTB. I believe it may have been the "Hot and Cold" topic. :roll: It's no fun working with them people....I'm cold all the time, ...

Good job, guys! I enjoyed all the ones I had time to read. Thank you to all who sent kudos my way for my little ditty. And it's always nice to be in the running for the "woo-woo's" from Joanne.

Good job, everyone! I didn't have time to read very many, but enjoyed the ones I did read.

My initial ideas: 1. Feeling hot 2. Food that is hot 3. Losing a job 4. House burning down 5. The lake of fire 6. A non-English speaker mispronouncing "tire" My out-of-the-box idea: A man contemplating adultery and realizing the consequences (play off of Proverbs 6:27) I agree with Greghor...

Seriously. That one put mine to shame!

Jocelyn sunk into the kitchen chair, exasperation reflecting in her fourteen-year-old face. " Mother , since when did you turn all like 'Puritan' in your opinions? Ashley and Tiffani's moms are at least halfway normal." Tina gave her the most stern look she could muster. "Well, daught...

Sounds like it is a go-time for you! Will be awesome to read your stuff and see you stretch out in this area. Feel free to poke around and join us wherever!

I glared. I fumed. Finally, I couldn't stand it any longer. "Mom, Ashley and Tiffani's parents have no problem with this movie. You're the only one making a big deal about it." She muted her ridiculous soap opera and turned on the sofa to face me. "What movie?" "I told you. ...
