You have a wonderful way of telling the most mundane and sometimes odd things with a humor that is wonderful. I even got a kick out of your author notes. I have been known to post just because and I don't feel guilty for doing so. This was really fun to read. Happy New Year to you as well.

    That is good to hear. I felt a little crazy looking at a blank screen knowing I was going to post whatever I put there. Ha! It is good to know that I am not alone! Sometimes "Just for fun" is needed. Thank you kindly, mikey

    I don't know what happened. I was reading one of your poems and I drifted off into a lovely fantasy world and when I came to it was two days later. But, I am okay now. The memories though, oh....the memories!! I shall try not to complicate things. Happy New Year! mikey

This is a good stream of consciousness piece that grabs the reader's interest, because it is expressing that which is close to the mind. You have done an excellent job of inviting the reader to see and feel your mind. I enjoyed reading this passage.

Happy New Year!

To run over oneself seems to tell me something! We won't go into that until after the new year. He he- The crew has gone out to have lunch with a friend and will be back in a bit so I am taking advantage while I have a minute to say hi.

    Hi to you!! These holidays are enough to tire anyone out. hahaha. The good thing about running yourself over is that it only takes once to get the message!! mikey

Hi Mikey

Mystery and crime non-fiction indeed! Hahahahahahah! What goes on in that mind of yours???? Oh yes, you just wrote it. The post you post when you don't have anything to post...... and still you do it to perfection. I'm a little late in my review and it is past date night, none-the-less, I did need a little cheer this early morning.

I'm wondering if my hernia needs some permanent mesh ... perhaps it hasn't been discovered in Australia yet ... we can be a little behind the times? I'm not writing a sonnet, though I can identify with Shakespeare ... if my hernia bursts ... its your fault .... and this may be my last mortal review.

I have to have lunch with my mother and sister ... the doom and gloom fairies .... I will have two of my sons to fortify me ... though I think a few vodka and orange for breakfast might be just the thing ... thanks for the idea ... or maybe a Bloody Mary or three.

Great alliteration and 'e' assonance in "expecting the eloquence/ alliteratedly executed exquisiteness" - hahahhahahahaha! "Loneliness/looks longingly" - Heheheheh!

Yes, I agree, joining FS does feel like finding the right tribe after years of searching for 'home'. Outside FS they think I'm weird, on FS, I feel 'normal'. LOL

A brilliantly written load of codswallop which for this reader was a breath of fresh air ... or vodka breath! Love it! Hugs - Lovi xoxoxo You just received my last six for your poem.

    My God, you make me so happy!! The moment I start reading a big smile breaks out on my face and never goes away. You are like written vodka. If you have a hernia you are supposed to use it to proclaim that you are helpless and get everyone to do everything for you. Practice little yelps of pain when reaching for things. This will train everyone to get things for you. Then when it is repaired don't tell anyone. When you park your car, turn it off and put it in park. Okay, you are good to go for 2014! mikey

    Thanks Mikey ... seems great minds think alike! Hahahah! I already have them trained and they will never know when it is fixed. it was nice to be chauffeured over the holidays ... I've always been the school bus driver, taxi from the station and the pick up person after the parties and a few drinkies consumed, drive school teacher to three sons. Personally though, I'm a driver/rev-head and know I'm safe when I'm behind the wheel. :)))

    Spent New Years Day at the beach under the shade trees .... picnic, cool sea breeze ... perfect. Hope you and Donna had a good one .... seems we are both fired for action for 2014. Hugs - Lovi xoxoxo

This is really entertaining. I can do with a reprieve from Angst, and not just on Fridays. Fascinating references in this--how you get from Shakespeare to a hernia is enjoyable. Clever telling of the incident of running over yourself while going liquor shopping. How admirable that you got a small bottle. You have really achieved since you've signed on, and more power to you in the New Year. judi

    Thank you! It has been fun. I really do love it here. I am surprised that there is a place where I am not considered nuts!! hahaha. (I know, not so fast buddy.) Glad you liked this. Looking forward to the new year. Happy New year to you and yours!! mikey

    You're so welcome. You've certainly moved up fast, for no longer than you've been on the site. You should be doing great in the New Year. judi

Now this is just not right! You cannot tell us you ran over yourself and just leave it at that. You MUST tell us how the hell it happened. I will settle for nothing less the the truth, the whole truth, and as I said, nothing but the whole truth. I doubt I will stop laughing until well after the first of the year so you have plenty of time to fess up...get going, I am waiting!

    Well.....I don't exactly know. hahaha. I think I left the car in drive, running and got out and slipped under it somehow. The back wheel ran over me and the car stopped when it ran into the wall which was about three feet away. I was a bit bruised and I noticed tire tracks the next day on my thigh way to close where one wouldn't want to find tire tracks. So, it could have been a sad day really. But, I was not hurt and neither was the car. I think my subconscious mind did it on purpose so that I would have something to write about one day. mikey

Nicely polished writing, Mike. Though the tone was casual, the ideas were thought-provoking. The syntax and diction were written with pizzazz, enhancing the piece even more. You have a knack with connecting with the reader. Almost felt like we were in the same room, drinking a couple beers. Stellar job, Mike.

    Those are some great compliments. That is what I am always hoping to do, connect somehow. Awesome review my friend. The beers sound good as long as one of them is a vodka. hahaha. Thank you very much, mikey
