Hi Cindi:
You have a good concept there. I did a lot of fishing via PWP but didn't do any catching until I joined a dance class.

No More Bobs (Book) - 5/24/2005 9:14:01 AM
Oh, I enjoyed looking through your pages! I want my style of writing to get like yours! I seem to not have the knack to go wild with my descriptive words, and I want to! I'll have to just learn to put into words what is in my head as you did. And I have a LOT of stuff inside of my head, *LOL*. I enjoyed your words so much!
Success to you with "No More Bobs". It sounds delightful!

Cynthia--
I generally only read books with a high body count (does your heroine kill off any Bobs?), but after reading the excerpt, I have to read more. Love your style--and although I haven't done any TV interviews yet, you described it in perfectly-horrific detail! Sandy
No More Bobs (Book) - 4/29/2004 6:02:26 PM
CYNTHIA - Sounds "delicious"!!!
When I have a chance, will be back to read more! In case you didn't see it, my poem BOB & ED might amuse you. Tom.

Too funny, Cynthia! My grandmother always spanked our turkey before the stuffin' it regimine, , and then. one by one, lined up, all of us grandkids so we could spank it too! My tradition, I chase the kids around the house with a headless dead bird! LOL!
Great story, I loved it!

Frog Spit and Snail Trails (Short Story) - 11/7/2007 5:43:10 PM
What a delightful story. It sure puts a different spin on how a character (and a writer) BECOMES.
Wonderful writing!
Frog Spit and Snail Trails (Short Story) - 11/7/2007 9:05:19 AM
I love this; maybe I ought to do one about my characters Ronee' or Johnny doing a story about me, or any of my other characters. I think that'd be too cool! Clever write; brava, Cynhia! Love the graphic!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

All Roads Lead Home (Short Story) - 6/29/2007 5:07:07 PM
I really enjoyed this story, Cynthia. Painfully accurate and incredibly well penned.
All Roads Lead Home (Short Story) - 6/10/2007 10:04:46 AM
Heart wrenching story - so well written, cynthia. Parents can sometimes be so selfish.
God bless,
Sandie.
All Roads Lead Home (Short Story) - 1/28/2007 8:49:10 PM
Wait he sent a child support check and she was still complaining?
She got the kids, the child support and probably alamony too, AND the dad was still part of the kids' lives? Some people just don't know how hard life can be.
Great write, sometimes it takes a verbal slap in the face to bring attention to what a real slap in the face can't.
Bewitched (Short Story) - 1/14/2007 5:59:20 AM
Great story very cleverly written...Your story has a way of getting the point across while entertaining as well. Yes, payback is rough, greed can destroy one. Enjoyed this so much, glad I stopped by.
Blessings,

Bewitched (Short Story) - 12/28/2006 3:37:08 PM
What a clever way to point out the steep price we pay for betrayal! And -- the price we pay for sales-greed, in terms of interest...charge, indeed!
A lesson well taught, Cynthia.
May 2007 bring you much happiness!
Gina
Bewitched (Short Story) - 7/4/2006 10:42:18 AM
You could probably write a cool story/novel about some bumbling witches that would be very funny.

All Roads Lead Home (Short Story) - 5/17/2006 7:16:42 AM
Hi Cindi:
I'm looking forward to that next serving of duck. Let me know when it gets published.
This story reminds me of my own divorce. The kids, however, were allowed to choose. Mari, the youngest, latched on to me. C'est la vie.
Hank
All Roads Lead Home (Short Story) - 5/5/2006 3:50:38 PM
Cynthia, this was an amazingly well crafted piece. I could feel every painful emotion the children were expressing to their mother. I felt like I was an intruder, witnessing a very personal exchange that wasn't meant for me to hear. Really incredible piece. Michelle
All Roads Lead Home (Short Story) - 4/30/2006 1:00:45 PM
I agree with Kate, Cynthia. I could see the father standing there, as they pulled out of the driveway, I could see them on the mountin road, within millimeters of death, as they raced around the slower car. I could see them in the truck havin the conversation, and I could see her slap her son in the face. I saw the two little girls crying, and I saw her aplogize, as most mothers do, when we let the heat of the moment get our anger up.
Very well written Cynthia, and thanx for sharing
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and thoase whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

Very good write...
All Roads Lead Home (Short Story) - 4/17/2006 11:31:16 AM
I felt like I was in that car feeling everything each child felt, trying to understand the mother, feeling tears for the father. Incredible write!
All Roads Lead Home (Short Story) - 4/15/2006 2:43:52 PM
Nice work, really well done. Quite the change of pace. The picture helps the effect. This looks like the prologue to a future work.

A truly powerfully penned story, Cynthia; and very well done.
Recession Gray (Article) - 10/31/2009 9:44:38 PM
A very good write. Love the humor.
Recession Gray (Article) - 10/31/2009 5:29:43 AM
SYNFUL CYNDY -
How Patriotic a Write! Perhaps your time delay should have been more Liberal, and less Conservative? After all is said and done - Purple IS closer to Red than Orange IS!
Reminds me of a little Story - a Beautiful Redhead shows up at the Doctor's office - her complaint? "Something is Seriously Wrong - my Whole Body Hurts!"
In his typical, clinical manner, the Doctor says: "Let's see what's wrong - touch your right knee." After doing so, she grimaces in pain. "Now touch your left elbow.' Again, she howls with pain! "Now, touch your nose." Yet again, excruciating pain brings tears to her eyes!
Finally, with great aplomb, the very knowledgeable Doctor says, very emphatically:
"You're not really a Redhead - you're a Blonde, aren't you?"
To this, the amazed Amazon Beauty replies:
"Why Doctor, How could you Possibly Know This?"
"Easy, my Dear ... you have a BROKEN FINGER!"
Peace - and HAPPY HAUNTING! Tom.

Hi Cynthia!
I did not have time last season to watch Idol. In fact I haven't watched it since Fantasia won. Maybe this will be the season that lures me back. ; - }
How have you been by the way?

Naked Ladies Survive Fire (Article) - 7/11/2009 9:47:35 PM
I feel so blessed with having a lovely, aromatic rose garden in which to sit and quietly enjoy God's wonderful presence. I used to think everything here was perfect. That's before I learned about Naked Ladies. As a virile, zestful man, I feel it's almost my duty to import a few just as I feel duty-bound to offer my services in filling your need for a naked man in your two-man tent. (Does there really have to be another man? Can't we just make it a naked lady/naked man tent?)
Cynthia, I love the daydreaming trip you take us on here. Perhaps you could visit my site and let me return the favor with my poem, "A Walk In My Garden."
We can dream together, Dear Heart.

Pay It Forward AIG (Article) - 3/19/2009 3:11:02 AM
As I write this Dodd has been caught in a lie by his own admission and Barny Frank the Banking Queen is still making an ass of himself every time he speaks. Once more the clowns responsible for the mess they created are responsible for cleaning it up and blaming it all on some one else just like they did with Freddie and Fannie. No doubt they think the voting public is stupid. And we must be-we keep on letting them get away with the same old scams time after time. Just know this: WHEN THEY TALK, NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY, THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MONEY.
Pay It Forward AIG (Article) - 3/17/2009 3:19:59 PM
If you follow the money...it leads you right back to Barney Frank and Sen. (Accorn better be geting a big chunk of this bail out money) Dodd. How can the perpetrators of the crime be running the investigation? Isn't that like putting a fox in the hen house to guard the chickens?
Pay It Forward AIG (Article) - 3/17/2009 1:58:45 PM
CYN - WELL SAID! Tried to post on blog, but kept saying incorrect password?
However, even if they did this, it would still be a farce. Why? Because they would then take a large charitable deduction on their tax returns, for NOT doing their jobs - i.e. steering the ship properly!

Julie
This Calls for a Thong (Article) - 3/16/2008 6:52:25 PM
MOST amusing! Definitely not the same old 'Thong and dance' stuff here! Or perhaps: 'The Thong has ended, but the melody lingers on'. Purely enjoyable, but not without a hidden undertone of some serious issues dealing with keeping the vital core matrix of relationships alive and fulfilling. Fantasy assumes an ever-increasing importance in married life, after the daily replay of familiar intimate routines start to dull the usual interest, butg it never ceases to amaze me how many people fail to realise that simple fact. Smart couples will always make a concerted effort to keep things fresh and exciting (admittedly somewhat effort-intensive, but ultimately well worth it!). If this is an example of what you are like in an audience situation, I would imagine your engagements are a very amusing and entertaining experience indeed!
Mahalo for this one, Kalikiano!

And what a fabulous Game it is, although often a truly frustrating one.
Loved your story, Cynthia, and Write On!

Oooo... there's nothing like pain to drive the shovel home for that almighty "one last whack"! A strong delivery that speaks of the battle at hand, and I love your usage of strong diction to describe the strength and assault of this "enemy", Cynthia. Nice resonant humour, too. Not for the faint-hearted gardener this one! Makes me realise my thumbs certainly AREn't green! :)) Thank you, Kate xx
