FanStory wrote to another jim: Vying in Iambic Tetrameter finished first in the contest "Poetry Contests"
    janalma: What? When? ??? -
    janalma: Is Jim back, then? -
    Cumbrianlass: No. This is an old post. It must be a glitch in the system. -


another jim: Have you ever tried to eat a clock? It's very time consuming...
    michaelcahill: No nutrition, a waste of time. -
    mrsmajor: Why waste our time, eating a clock, when one can eat a minute Steak.. -
    Cumbrianlass: Aahhh! A long lost and very welcome voice from the past. I missed you. Please say you're going to be posting again. -
    evilynne: It could be alarming -
    another jim: I gotta level with you, fellow punsters: I really, really despise the minute hand on my clock. So what say we just enjoy the time that's hours...

    Hi, Avril, and thanks for the warm welcome!

    So...what have I missed? -
    rama devi: LOL--Missed your wit around here, Jim. Come back, please! So thrilled to see you visiting us! I like evilynne's expansion--it could be alarming! lol. The time that's hours.

another jim: An elderly man in Phoenix calls his son in New York and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough."

"Pop! What are you talking about?" the son screams.

"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says. "We're sick to death of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her." With that he hangs up.

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like hell they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this."

She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at the old man, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" And she slams the phone down.

The old man hangs up his phone, too, and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "they're coming for Thanksgiving. Now what do we tell them for Christmas?"

    michaelcahill: Hahahaha!!!! I read this to my wife too. Hilarious... -
    adewpearl: Jim, I'm delighted to see you!! -
    IndianaIrish: AJ!! It's so great to see your here. Is it just a visit or are you here to post your wonderful writing!?! I hope you're back. -
    nor84: Yes, Jim, are you back? Please say Yes. -
    Adri7enne: Ah, I enjoyed that so much, Jim. I read it several times to analyse the pace and the timing. You really know how to tell a joke. You must be a great asset to a party. LOL! So, when are you coming back? -

ABOUT

Born Same month/day as Elvis. Google it.

Interests
Reading, writing, but not 'rithmetic. Also power walks and plays guitar (but not at the same time).
another jim is one of those folks who put his passion for writing on hold while he worked a "real" job and raised a family. Well, the job is finished, the family's been raised, and now he can act as self-indulgent as he damn well pleases!

A closet bibliophile from way back, he favors historical fiction, suspense, mystery, horror, biographies... anything that captures his imagination and keeps his adult ADD at bay.

Loves his wife, loves his life, and thinks he's gonna love being a FanStory contributor. He hopes to become a useful critic, and not an effete, nitpicking nabob of negativism. Of course, he's also depending on others of his ilk to critique his work so he'll become a better writer, so please...don't hold back. If it's awful, please say so, and he'll try harder next time. (This third person stuff is for the birds, ain't it?)

He lives in Upstate NY, and knows snow. He owns a degree in Psychology that he's never used for profit, a set of golf clubs that has seldom seen the sun, and a big screen TV that collects dust, except during football season. He loves music, and often seeks inspiration from the oldies stations on satellite radio. Believe it or not, it works.

That's it. He's spent, you're bored, and it's time to get back to work. That would be short stories for him, with an occasional foray into the business of writing his first novel.

See you on the pages of FanStory!

5-7-5 An Introspection In Seventeen Syllables Moments I Have Lived
I have found it rather amazing that an existence of time can be expressed in such few words and yet provide a specific and definitive explanation.

Great reviews:
Raw with emotion - love and pain, regrets and hope, truth and tragedy. It touched me at points, made me choke up.
