Thanks and sorry I forgot you have already explained that it is without seasons. But you've added more about the amazement of a dialogue. I get it. I ...
August 11, 2023 at 19:27
No, you explained that very well. I think I read about haibun a long time ago and forgot! I remember it now as having 2-parts: the first part being th...
August 11, 2023 at 19:21
Yes, I agree, a gender transition with questions and emotions. The blink of an eye is ambiguous. Wondering if your alternative reading means a new pic...
August 11, 2023 at 18:48
Well, I never thought of it that way...interesting...I had an AI vibe when I read it. Strange but true.
August 11, 2023 at 18:31
Well, if anyone knows you should! Aren't you the expert? What's the haibun system?
August 11, 2023 at 18:28
Looks like a re-read is in order, for me. I must not have had my vibes turned on...
August 11, 2023 at 18:27
Damn, I wrote the smartest, longest, funniest congratulations to the winner of....blah, blah, blah...and then I hit something and it disappeared. It's...

The Crossover The Crossover of what, who, why or how? What follows is a psychiatric assessment to establish the mental fitness of a promoted employee,...
August 11, 2023 at 15:12
Nope. Read other posts.
August 11, 2023 at 11:31
Again, neither a drama nor a fuss, just a clear and careful response. Thanks for listening, reviewing and making the change back.
August 11, 2023 at 10:45
If it were all good, I wouldn't have made the point that I struggled. The contributions continue only because I've started so I'll finish. It has beco...
August 11, 2023 at 10:35
Brilliant! @"Tobias", I should have believed you - about the Dutch being at the bottom of it all! @"180 Proof" Why doesn't the tricolour mean anything...
August 11, 2023 at 10:28
Since this seems to have been ignored. I appreciate @"Caldwell"'s support: Also @"hypericin": All of this brouhaha, lovely word that, because a few ca...

The Falconer Who or what is a falconer, never mind a capitalised one? I am informed that... and I would hide it but don't know how... : Right away, we...
August 11, 2023 at 09:33
OK, thanks.
August 11, 2023 at 07:24
I did wonder whether the woman was a cop, given that she knew the shift patterns. The 'cop' was making sure the woman knew he was a deputy, so he had ...
August 11, 2023 at 07:22
Good summation and you are not alone!
August 11, 2023 at 07:17
I appreciate this insight from an experienced writer and reader whose work and engagement is... words fail me...and I can't reach my emoticons. I wond...
August 11, 2023 at 07:13
I appreciate your apology and I see you've made amends by changing it. So, forgiven for the almighty sin, you can now rise up, head held high! Please ...
August 11, 2023 at 07:05
The very title intimidates me. I can appreciate that this must be tackled only when ready for it. Perhaps, to read Homer's Odyssey first - and that me...
August 11, 2023 at 06:50
Do you usually talk like a mongrel Scottie? Thanks for the Joyce link. I'll take a look when I have the time and energy. I don't have a problem follow...
August 10, 2023 at 20:06
This has to have been written by an alien. I suppose I have to give it an OK. "It's OK"-ish.
August 10, 2023 at 17:22
Your work is appreciated. This new fixed list...
August 10, 2023 at 17:17
True. It's a place full of danger. Who knows what lurks... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tMqcARKRSE Agree. Exactly. Written for the sheer hell and ...
August 10, 2023 at 17:12
Good. Moderation kicks in.
August 10, 2023 at 14:46
Me, for one! But I'll give it a go... Agree. I feel the fear. The mind conjures up more than words can ever do. Imagination is a wonderful thing. Some...

Shaun and Quigley On my first read, I couldn't get past this: I say, what? I just couldn't picture it... Time passed and comments read - hmmm, seems t...
August 10, 2023 at 14:02
Nope. It's a simple and honest response to questions.
August 10, 2023 at 11:48
Exactly this. It's boring to see a fixed list. It kills the momentum and any excitement there might be...
August 10, 2023 at 11:23
I responded to the question posed by @"Benkei".
August 10, 2023 at 09:45
You didn't even wait for others contacted to make their views known.
August 10, 2023 at 09:43
Agreed. I don't particularly like the new ordering system and don't see the need for it. It looks like the last one submitted is top of the list. It m...

Why should I work for you without any sustenance? Don't bother answering. I'm outta here.
August 10, 2023 at 06:24
I'm not pretending anything. I'm trying to take the spotlight off of me. As for getting along further: I encourage others to get on with focusing on t...
August 10, 2023 at 06:22
I don't know if I like Joyce. I think I read him when very young with no great understanding. I do like 'imagination at play in words'. Can you provid...
August 10, 2023 at 06:13
I disagree. You are all doing a great job in the Discussions. Even if, like here, they can sometimes slide into Shoutboxy Slaverings. They can't help ...
August 10, 2023 at 06:01
So, I won't have to :cool: Thanks. You did it SO much better than an Amity. This story is The Best! No question of where my vote is going. If only the...
August 09, 2023 at 21:04
You just had to bring it here... but without the full context: Your :vomit: is ridiculous. However, I'm glad you complimented the writing here. Good o...
August 09, 2023 at 20:06
I should have corrected your misinterpretation re: 'Mum and morality' - the 4th element. Paul's baggage. Nothing to do with Paul, Joanna and the other...
August 09, 2023 at 19:36
You need to stop this right here, right now. Unless you point to where I made 'obscenities' which sickened you as in the alleged: Perhaps best to retu...
August 09, 2023 at 19:23
Oh, yes. I never thought of that. Clever. And your pic is beautiful :fire:
August 09, 2023 at 19:19
There was no cheap thrill. You know it :brow:
August 09, 2023 at 19:17
What cheap thrill?
August 09, 2023 at 19:12
Given the time constraints, I think the author did exceptionally well.
August 09, 2023 at 19:11
OK. I understand now, thanks :up:
August 09, 2023 at 19:05
Oh, that! Yes, that was all the work of The Other. :wink: Yeah, you poor sensitive soul. You adore being disgusted:
