    Tupelo Honey

    Reader1810 commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Tupelo Honey

    Powerful and evocative words. This makes me sad and wish for what should have been, not what was. Knowing you made it out and to something beautiful, tempers that feeling. Thank you for sharing your words with us, and as always, nicely done tim, nicely done.

    Using words for good or evil - the superpower analogy, molly.
  3. Reader1810
    That was wonderfully brilliant, molly! Literally “food for thought” as the saying goes. What you’ve said here is something that needs to be read and digested, so the lessons you are teaching will be savoured slowly and with care. I love, too, that you included @MacGreg‘s poem, because it’s brilliant, too. One thing, I will say, I don’t just utilize “taste your words before you spit them out” for the sour things in life, but for sweet as well. It’s always good to think before you speak, so you get what you want to say just right.

    Read this and was intrigued so I decided to investigate the author and see what else he’s written. I don’t know how many books are in his library, but I’ve added a few to my Amazon Wish List... Thanks, Myr!

    Your peace brings me peace. I could feel it with every word I read... Nicely done, tim

    RIP David Ogden Stiers... I remember him as Major Charles Emerson Winchester III

    tim, your words are my view. Nicely, and accurately, described. My brain latched onto your comment about the dirty windows. I had the same thought when I was looking out mine last night...

    Hi Ali, and welcome to GA!

    I liked and understood the first poem, but it was the second that produced a spontaneous giggle. I wondered where you were headed with that one. Who knew it was all about you hoarding the asparagus? I’ll tell you now, I had it for the first time - in a “oh hell, let’s try it moment - not long ago, and wouldn’t you know I liked it. So, fair warning, if there’s ever asparagus on our table, hoarding will not be allowed...nuh uh. Great stuff tonight, tim!

    Okay, this is weird. tim said that, not me, but it’s quoted as me. I think the gremlins are baaaccckkkk....

    @BlindAmbition mine says the same, jp. I’m mostly on my tablet, and I have to say I love this feature. I was having trouble with submitting post in a PM, so I backed out of it to get rid of the problem. Opened the post again, and everything I had typed was all there. What a huge relief.
  13. Reader1810
    I just might.

    I understand you're not an expert, but having a vested interst - your husband’s health and wellbeing - in finding sound information on this subject, I believe you’ve done your due diligence to weed out the bad info. You haven’t been spouting nonsense as far as I can tell.

    So true about the sugary snacks, tim. I was really craving ice cream last night to the point I almost went out and bought some. Will power won out over the craving, and I have to say, that today, I am glad I didn’t give in. Today, I have had no cravings and am making healthy choices. Does wonders for the psyche let me tell you. I know not everyone listens, hears, and adheres to good advice, but I listen to you tim. I know you’ve studied and researched the things you talk about, so there’s never a need to take your advice with “a grain of salt” as the saying goes. What you impart to those who will listen is backed with fact and topped with a good dose of your heart. So, thank you for doing the heavy lifting, and sharing what you’ve learned.

    That was something, wasn’t it? I dont know about the rest of you, but this is right up there on my “favourite lines” list.
  17. Reader1810
    A wonderful and heartfelt tribute, tim. If there is such a thing as heaven, your friend is smiling down at you. Her seal of approval a given.

    That was my line of thought regarding Brett’s reaction. He was thinking...crap, I just got you and now you’re leaving? I think he panicked a little thinking of that loss. As for the videos? It was too early in the morning to figure out if I could just copy them from the PM. Thanks to you, now I don’t have to figure it out. So, PS: Love the Men at Work song. Listening to it now...

    A delightfully fun and serious and sentimental - yes, you heard me correctly - chapter, Mr. Hazday. I will expand a bit more on this later. It’s a tad early, so the coherent juices ain’t flowing yet.

    Not a rocking chair, but @dughlas‘s comment got me thinking about what this scene might look like...
  21. Reader1810
    Read the Las Vegas Trilogy over four years ago, and I recall thoroughly enjoying all three books. I’m a bit fuzzy on the details, so I’m thinking I should read them again... My advice: give them a good look, I think you’ll like them, too.

    Supernova

    Reader1810 commented on MacGreg's story chapter in Supernova

    Magical and mystical...truly beautiful in its description of two souls coming together in an unbreakable force

    Then Father I think I’d like a pint of ale! I’ve quite a thirst!” That line made me giggle and endeared Alasdair to me unshakably. Of course, his subsequent actions served to strengthen that endearment. As for the dragon, who knew they could be so refined and genteel? This is is a great tale of the importance of listening to each other and never assuming you know what is right and what isn’t. Well done, tim, well done! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Foreign Soil

    Reader1810 commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Foreign Soil

    A lot of what I was thinking has already been said, so I’m just going to say... I really enjoyed this, tim. The connections to things we know in this world, and how you worked them so seamlessly into your story was excellently done. And in the end, even though the circumstances weren’t totally in their control, Miller and Darrian got their HEA, so Yay! to that.

    Heartbreak

    Reader1810 commented on Winged_Wolf's story chapter in Heartbreak

    @Kitt You have every right - and justification - to be proud and crow until the cows come home! This poem is terrific. This is is a beautifully written poem, Wings. So smooth and easy to read and feel the meaning of your words. It’s a sad tale for sure, but your triumph in the end to overcome what came is very well told.
