How about: "Finality--a Celebration..." Nice piece. I like the prose better than the poetry. Do you plan to go on with it, or is it just a bit of flashfic?

And, of course, you have to keep in mind the "ifs". IF there had been monitors in the Indian Ocean, and IF the sensor acted properly and relayed the exact magnitude from the exact epicenter of the quake, and IF the monitor station had understood the strength of the tsunami which...

Hmm. I think I've seen the book you're talking about, but I don't know the name either. The dust jacket was pale gold or yellow with really close-up grass blades and then the title. I'll look the next time I'm in the book store. It will be a few days, though...

Electronic Keno. Don't ask how I do it -- I just seem to be able to predict the numbers. I've tried to teach other people, but it just doesn't seem to stick. :o I can't wait until I can get back to a casino. I moved to an "anti-gambling" state, and I'm going through withdrawal... ;)

Sorry, Xeon, I have to disagree. If the poems are good, there are publishers who would LOVE to print them. I haven't found it all that difficult to find a publisher (actually two of them!) and they are both well-known houses that pay good royalties. One pays 10% and the other pays 8%. That...

No need for me to resolve THAT! :D I earned $13K last year and $90K this year at that particular pursuit. ;) It's the setting aside a chunk of it for the taxes that's the PITA! :eek: My resolution is to make more money at this writing game! Need to get a regular paycheck, not just...

CoolGuy, I really believe that you shouldn't sell your writing short by automatically trying to self-publish without first trying to go the traditional route. There are PLENTY of well known publishers in Trinidad and Jamaica that publish poetry. Here are a few to consider before you spend...

They had spokesmen from Taiwan and Indonesia on a national news program from Canada (News World International, or NWI, for those of you who watch). They were asked if they were angry with the U.S. about not being notified about the quake and they both said "No." Even though there were sensors...

Welcome! Hope you have fun here. We talk about all sorts of stuff! :)

:confused: Only your ass? How will it get home on its own? ;)

1. Does skinny dipping mean taking a bath (in a lake or so) naked? Yes 2. What does six pence the richer mean? :confused: Don't know. Sorry. 3. What is a narc? A civilian or undercover informer who tattles on drug dealers to the narcotics authorities. A "narc" is a bad guy to the bad guys...

It took me a dozen tries to get through (busy place today!) I got a different turn. Charles Baudelaire: The Flowers of Evil. You are one of the most loved and hated poetic works. Death and decadence are important themes for you, but none should overlook your impressive aesthetics, either...

Hmm. Nope, mine is fine. You might contact MSN and ask.

I understand from geologic sites that one island actually MOVED 100 centimeters and the earth rotation wobbled for several milliseconds. THAT'S an earthquake! :eek: So glad you're okay, direstraits, and hope your friend is well.

I sincerely hope that any of our Forum members who were involved in or have family/friends in the tsunami affected areas are safe and healthy. The videos I've seen of the destruction and loss of life are very frightening and sad. :( Peace, condolence and well wishes to the families there...

Welcome, baddichter! You've got a very eclectic group of books there! Jane Austen AND In Cold Blood!? :eek: :D I haven't read either one for years, and should probably add them to my stack again.

Well, we don't know all that many people who are SANE, AbnormalButSane, so we're naturally curious! :D (And don't believe SillyWabbit about the penguins... :mad: Penguins are warm and soft and fluffy. Not at all evil like he claims!) Cathy

Welcome to the Forum. In your . . . well, spare time ;) , what do you like to READ?

I miss Calvin too! I have every collection they made. Get Fuzzy is super, as well. One of my hubby's "stocking stuffers" today was a Get Fuzzy 2005 calendar! That and a comedy CD made him very happy! :D

Welcome! I really enjoyed Prey. Thought it was one of his best works! Hope you have fun here! :D
