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

Re: What Happened To Hamler (46 replies, posted in HodgePodge)
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

Re: From the Old Site: Do a Story in Five Words (21 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
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. ***
Take care. Vern

Concerning the original subject of "1 in-line comments" I would say if one is looking to see how many comments have been left after only one, then proper grammar of such is really not worth addressing. Take care. Vern

Thank you, Vern! Wow, you've seen far more of Aus than I have! It is a beautiful country. Did you have a favourite place? My two are Broome and Byron Bay. Yes, we're generally a friendly bunch.
.
I loved most all of it, but Sydney and Perth were my overall favorites. Sydney is the only large city (about two million) I have found that I actually wouldn't mind living in. The mass trans combining trains, buses, ferries, is to die for. Everything was overbooked for the race in Melbourne so we didn't stay the planned time and left the day after arrival -- might've been different another time. Did the camel ride on the beach at sunset at Broom on my birthday and that was fantastic. Kind of disappointed with Ayers Rock after all the hyped expectations, lol. Wonderful country all in all and I heartily recommend to anyone who has the opportunity to take advantage. We were there about six weeks total and even that wasn't enough. Biggest regret is we didn't leave nearly enough time for your neighbor, New Zealand -- only a week which was way too short. Take care. Vern

Be careful, Vern, or you will start a new religion.
My safety pin could never replace the Flying Purple Mongoose though it does require a bit of faith in all the marvelous things it does like miraculously keeping a fully loaded diaper in place -- not to mention my chicken. Take care. Vern

Welcome, Iris, to the place where you don't have to stay a stranger for long, but may stay strange as long as you wish. BTW, I visited Australila a few years back, a very beautiful and for the most part friendly country -- all seven "states." Take care. Vern
