Make a connection with them and then send the private message; then, if desired, remove connection. Or send a quickie in Navajo; most folks can't read that. Pick up the phone, give 'em a call. Who invented all this technology anyway, and why, lol? Take care. Vern

Not sure that's a very good defense:
Caller ID, Judge #1: "Hello, Sol, sorry I'm running late. I'm taking a whiz, the only time I could squeeze in because of the hectic schedule I find myself in; but I will finish judging the finalists and give my vote within the next ___ days. Thanks so much for understanding and give my apologies to all the contestants. Gotta run, talk to you soon."

Re: What Happened To Hamler (46 replies, posted in HodgePodge)
Unfortunately, I didn't get in much golf and no karaoke. My wife and my best friend's wife were in a BAD accident on their way to celebrate a friend's 90th birthday so had to leave Williamsburg, Va. on our third day and drive to Jacksonville, Florida and just got home tonight -- accident was on the third; wife being transferred to rehab up here tomorrow/today. They both have broken backs and other broken bones and severe bruising, but they will be okay after a long recovery. Damn kid with no license going the opposite direction on the interstate crossed the median and flew (literally) onto the hood of my wife's car. LUCKY they are both still alive. Received great care in trauma center so very thankful. Not that you missed my singing, lol, but that's where I've been. Take care. Vern

Yep to the toilet seat tales for the most part except for when my wife wants to conserve water by not flushing every time; then I put the lid down, lol.
No, No, No! Why should or would you change the story just because you were a bit prescient. Seems to me it would only make it more valuable to any would-be agent/publisher if you have a ready to go novel to fit the publicity. Anyway, reality has a way to mimic fiction; it needs to change, not your story.
I'm leaving in the morning for a week of golfing and karaoke -- not at the same time -- in Williamsburg, Va. Hope you get that writing bug to the picnic table. Good to hear your voice. Take care. Vern

Okay, since you're going with the old site, I'll rerun one from that site which got quite a few reviews with many different interpretations. Of course, since it was only three words, I'll have to add two more:
*** Jesus married dead. The end. ***
