Congratulations.  I'll have the champagne ready -- let us know how it goes.

So sorry to hear this.  Pray that each day will find you stronger and that insurance will be more helpful than you anticipate.  Many blessings.

Well, Vern, you’re right about chocolate.  Dark’s the best but I have been known to go slumming.

Temple, ground up Skittles?  I’d volunteer if they were using Hershey kisses.

So many good ideas, thank you.  One frustration I have felt with this site is—as in the real world and other sites I’ve used—some don’t reciprocate when they receive a review.  Alas, human nature.  That’s why I wanted to offer additional points.  I guess I will get hard-nosed.  If I review someone’s posts  twice and there’s no reciprocity, I will ignore their posts until there is—and i’ll Label them privately some term in the swine category!

Thanks for sharing this.   Unless you’re depending on writing to put bread on the table, perhaps it’s time to just let it be.  You have been extraordinarily productive for a long time; perhaps this is a time of being fallow.  That doesn’t mean nothing is happening.  It’s likely that once the concern about your health is resolved, the juices will flow again.  I feel for you—such pressure has to be difficult.  Hope for the best for you.

Thanks to the hilarious comments, I’ve concluded that y’all are a bunch of real stand up comics.  Much appreciated.

I'm new to the site, so I don't know you or your work.  However, it's encouraging to hear of your success and good of you to let others know.  Thank you.

I'm new too to this site.  Don't let anyone discourage you.  Just keep writing and re-writing, reading and critiquing.  You will learn from it all and both your writing and reviewing will benefit.  I always try to give honest but charitable feedback.  I never want to hurt anyone's feelings but I try to be honest in a constructive way.  Sometimes I have almost nothing to say because I think the piece is  terrific, but other times I have questions or suggestions -- yet who am I to tell another writer what to do or not to do.  I'm struggling with my own writing issues and blind spots.  Each of us is brave to put it out there.  So, here's a standing ovation for all of us who want to learn and improve our writing and to help each other.
