A Moment in Time He was taller, thinner, but attractive in a Texan way Slow talking, sweet kissing, tender loving gentleman Who, with barely a word, stole my heart that first day And never let me forget it during our time together. We were opposites, of that you can be sure. Him the gentle giant, me the big bear in a glass world. We came together for but the blink of an eye But lord he kissed me till my toes curled. Our time was just too short but isn’t that life A visit, a span,

Well the final episode aired tonight for the season. I can't wait till September for it to start all over again. Anyone else glad to see that the curse is broken but fearful of what might have been released?

Okay this is part me getting it out part me offering support. Shelly, any time you need an ear let us know. I'm good at listening. Breeze - I always say find what works best and who helps you the most. Mark - Just so grateful to see you grow and move beyond your pain. Joe - Glad you are back. Mark has a lot of good work. Don't be afraid to look through his stuff. Roan - You get better and don't forget us. We are here if you need us. As for me, today was rough as hell. Today is Mother's Day in the USA. It is also the anniversary of my mom's passing. It was three years ago today. Funny thing is that I've spent the whole weekend helping my father grieve again. I feel off but not sad. I wonder if that is just a warning sign or not at the moment. Maybe it is just that oldest child syndrome, you take care of everyone else first. Who knows. Anyway just wanted to let everyone know I'm alive and functioning even if the internet doesn't like me at the moment. Hope for the most part everyone is okay. Remember, we enter this life alone, but then you meet family, friends, and lovers. Don't push them away if they offer you help, hope, or love. Wayne

Thanks KC.

First off I wish all of the Mother's out there a good day. Then I wish to say I want to curl up and forget it. It isn't so much that I hate Mother's day because my mom is gone, just that this year the day falls on the anniversary of her death. Kind of makes it a bit of a rough reminder. However, even my own discomfort is nothing to my father's. He was her partner for 39 years, stood her up at the alter once, and eventually found the balls to marry her anyway. They had good times, bad times, two children, and countless animals in their time together. He has been falling apart since Friday so just doing my best to hold him together and let him grieve again. With my job I never get weekends off so not like I can keep him busy tomorrow. For those who have been trying to read my prompt story, I do apologize. Like I said my internet is basically acting up badly. Took four attempts before the story actually published in full. I do apologize. I also feel like I have let people down, seems I haven't been as available as I thought. I hate hearing how people have had to find substitutes, but didn't tell me right away. Anyway I have chapter 8 nearly done. Just went over it again and want to add a few things before I send it to my beta. Bless Andy, he has been patient with me. Enough of my griping. I hope everyone enjoys their Sunday. Happy Mother's Day to all those out there. Hang in there to all my friends. It has to get better.

“But if you don’t do it, you know you will regret it for the rest of your life.” I looked at Christian as I turned away from the cakes. “If I don’t order a chocolate cake I’ll regret it for the rest of my life?” “Yup, cause there is now way in hell I’m eating a cake in the shape of a heart with red velvet in it,” Christian stared at me, “because it will look like you cut someone open. No deal.” “You do realize the cake isn’t being bought for your birthday, right?” Christian smiled at me lik

Welcome to the prompts Andrew. I couldn't help but think of my own mother's funeral, especially as we are fast approaching that anniversary. Face it, family comes together at weddings and funerals. The only thing is you never know if you will see the best or worst of people. It was a beautiful tale and wove the words in flawlessly. I hope this won't be the last one you attempt. Wayne.

Andy, Who said the prompt had to be short? More than one person has turned a prompt into a long chaptered story (Cia for example.) I liked how this played out. Nice to see so many different stories spun out of that line so far. Great job.

Thank you Billy. Speaking of writing, I hope all is well with you. I haven't gotten a new chapter in a while. I'm ready when you are.

As someone who has beta read for a number of people the only thing I can say our job is to spot the snafus that will occasionally arise. Changes of names or spot issues in the story. I count heavily on the people who work with me to help me make my work the best it can be.

What could I possibly wish for you? How about all the best on this your special day. All best on your Birthday Frosty, now and always.

Happy Birthday Pat. Hope you get to enjoy it all.

Joe, I doubt that they would have a problem with you posting your poetry, but if it is all about the same subject create a book. That way all your poetry about Baseball would be in one place. As for FSO you aren't the only one who forgot it. Last time I was on the site was to comment on the Valentine Anthology. Bad I know.

I'll apologize up front if I am slow in getting back to anything. My damn internet is on the blink and I've basically been without now for two days. This is rare that it is up and working so I hope it posts. The only good news is that having been unable to get on line I am writing. Chapter 8 is just about ready to head to the beta, I've got a good story going for the prompt, and I'm working on Choices for the next anthology. Things might not be perfect (God, if someone has the perfect life I want to meet them just so I can laugh cause it must be boring as hell) but at least they are keeping me going in interesting times. I'm off to bed. I have to be up early tomorrow to try to get my tire fixed cause it keeps loosing air every time I turn around. I also need to go find pants, mine have finally become too big and need something that fits. It is either new pants or I go in underwear and nobody is ready for that, especially me. Hope everyone has a good week and thanks for checking on me.

I'm glad you found and are enjoying Jonas. Busy already on Chapter 8 so hoping tomorrow to have it ready to send to my beta. So your wait hopefully won't be too long.

You know me Dad, I never try to do the expected. The clients haven't even begun to show yet and wait till the orders actually begin to roll in. I'm having some fun.

KC, you always say my chapters are too short. Yeah, I am really happy to be writing again and getting this story out. Glad I didn't lose you.

Thanks Terry. Yeah Jonas has a lot of things going on but isn't that life? Hopefully you will continue to enjoy. Thanks for reading and for commenting.

Thanks Billy. Glad you are enjoying my story. Jonas is a bit different but so much fun to get into.

I love the way this has developed and the way you have an on going story here. James might be gone but now we have Jamie. Things are looking up. Sorry it took so long getting it back to you. Nice story though Nephew.

The rest of the evening became sort of torturous. Trying to get anything out of Jenny was the worst. I mean, if she had been a guy, I would have tossed her on the ground, put her in head lock, and forced her to tell me what this date was about. Unfortunately, I couldn’t so she just kept smiling. “Don’t worry so much, Jo. I promise, you’ll enjoy yourself.” “Jenny, don’t tease Jonas,” Mrs. Meyers sounded all stern, “you know he hasn’t had a date.”

Okay, I'll comment. I'm one of those whose fingers seem to be everywhere. I read, comment, create prompts, work as a beta, just don't ask me to edit, my spelling leaves much to be desired (thank you spell check.) Here you can bounce ideas off of other writers, know practically immediately if people like or don't like something and why. Where else can you get this sort of immediate response. Not only that but here you can make friends, talk about nearly anything, and still be comfortable doing it all in shorts in front of your computer. That is something you don't find anywhere else. Sometimes just taking the time to tell a writer what you enjoy or why can get you beyond that reader/writer relationship. Goodness knows I have made more than a few friends because of it.

You have a house and snuggle bunny and the amp puts you over the moon? Dear boy, get your priorites fixed, and get rid of that pink rug. OMG! lol. Congrats all around though in perfect seriousness. Couldn't happen to a nicer person.

Billy, I've been working with you for a while on this story. You just write what need to. Your editor and I will make sure you keep on task. When I wrote Accident's Happen large parts of myself slipped into the two main characters. However, at a certain point they had become so defined I no longer had to worry. It was almost as it they simply told the story and all I had to do was write it down.
