Great write, Mark; well done!

Nadine 2: Geriatric Romance (Short Story) - 11/29/2009 4:25:40 AM
Bewildering is about all I can say about this one. Best chapter so far in my opinion. This had to have been a severe blow with a blunt instrument. her inability to know where reality left off and her fantasies began. You played this chapter perfectly and the ennding was, although depressing, a stunner.

Sometimes we need to give without expecting self gratification, He will see to it that it goes into the "good" side of the ledger with our name.

Perhaps it is Solitude the most feared monster in the shadows, because we can't defend us against it no matter how good we were in life or how we deserved company. Solitude will always have the last word.

A moving story with passion, although somewhat passive, alive and well in you two "older" specimens of the human race. I maintain that as long as we have our brain and it functions well, our passions still run deep like a slow-moving stream. To be held, to briefly kiss, to "need," these are human traits that are the very last to die. Enjoyed your story, Mark.
Nadine1:Geriatric Romance (Short Story) - 11/28/2009 12:18:12 AM
Great story, Mark; can't see what happens next! It just goes to show you: you're never too old to fall in love! Well done!

A lot to contemplate here, Mark. The lady in line, ah, we never really know, do we?
1952#15: 58Years Are Past (Short Story) - 11/27/2009 2:47:28 AM
It seems to me that love sometimes can be like a meat grinder, leaving an unforgettable pain trip. Then there are the whys and the ifs that will perpetuate all into a tender illusion of what could had been.
Time will make your memories less haunting and more peaceful.

Compelling write, Mark; well done!

Having my self an off the wall humor easy to misunderstand, I can get what Susan's folk, already predisposed against Mitch making all kind of assumptions. Oh well! Mitch should look after another girl to nurse his wounds!

Excellent story, Mark; well done! BRAVO!
Happy Thanksgiving; may it be full of God's blessings for you and your loved ones!

1952 #13: Dungarees (Short Story) - 11/25/2009 3:06:34 AM
Drills...for beginning with left your body aching everywhere and telling you about muscles you didn't knew you had! Three weeks after you started to get the hang of it, those that didn't had latrines and kitchen duties, the rest of us smart pants tried to fly under the radar...
Georg
1952 #13: Dungarees (Short Story) - 11/24/2009 3:42:25 PM
I'm sorry, but the Air Force has latrines. Ah, I took basic training in Lackland AFB in San Antonio, and some of what you wrote about was similar. We had rifle range and tear gas exercises, plus bivouac, not fun for the most part . . . jpb
1952 #12: Boot (Short Story) - 11/24/2009 2:33:15 AM
If anything, the preconception of Marines life wasn't near as hellish as the real one, but at the end of boot camp the fellows where hard as nails and more resilient that taxes.
Georg
1952 #12: Boot (Short Story) - 11/23/2009 5:22:33 PM
Nothing the Air Force gave me fit worth a fuck. My Technical Officer (TI) tried to get me to swing on him. I wanted to but sanity ruled that particular day. More memories you're bringing back . . .
1952 #12: Boot (Short Story) - 11/23/2009 4:23:14 PM
Great slice of military life; well done, Mark! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

1952 #11: Orders (Short Story) - 11/23/2009 3:04:03 AM
From San Francisco to South Caroline USMC Parris Island was a hell of a long trip, and some didn't understood why in hell you were smiling so contently to be going there, not unlike our Mitch here!
Georg
1952 #11: Orders (Short Story) - 11/22/2009 4:42:26 PM
GREAT write, Mark; you take us there in compelling storytelling! You are one of the best storytellers I have ever come across (you and Jerry Bolton rank right up there at the top! :) )! Well done, sir; bravo!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D
1952 #11: Orders (Short Story) - 11/22/2009 2:34:29 PM
Brings back memories when I stepped off that transport plane at Lackland AFB in San Antonio. I didn't know what the hell I was getting into . . .
1952 #10: Four Years (Short Story) - 11/22/2009 4:26:12 AM
I knew a sixteen years old boy that lied being seventeen to enlist, although it wasn't pushed by love's sorrow but in search of the Home and Family he never had. Not four years, more like 30.

Eighteen, what one would have done if one could be eighteen again? (and of course with the experience one have now...if any. LOL)
Georg
1952 #10: Four Years (Short Story) - 11/21/2009 7:32:24 PM
Excellent story, Mark; well done! Glad Mitchie is going into the service again, into the Coast Guard. My uncle (my mother's brother) was in the Coast Guard. :)
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D
1952 #10: Four Years (Short Story) - 11/21/2009 3:44:06 PM
Great going. It seems, especially during peace time, people joined one branch or other of the armed forces to get away from something. I know I did. So Mitchell is Coast guard bound. Should make for some interesting chapters.
1952 #9: Canadian Club (Short Story) - 11/21/2009 2:19:19 PM
Wonder what will happen next; time will only tell! You have me hanging on the edge of my seat on this one, Mark; well done yet again!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D
1952 #9: Canadian Club (Short Story) - 11/21/2009 8:46:32 AM
Seems the only thing left to him is a bit of nonsensical revenge / Well, I am sure Mitchell would not think it nonsensical . . .

Obama Double Cross (Article) - 11/26/2009 5:55:02 PM
Masterpoet you are both right and wrong. You are right in that the young folks who voted for Bozo the Zero don't bother to follow the details. But Sir, you are wrong about their fingers! Their heads are so far implanted up their rectums that there isn't any room for their fingers. So they carry signs saying "OBAMA POWER", "SHOW ME DA MONEY', PSALMS 109:7", "PSALMS 109:8" (Not knowing what the last two says)
Obama Double Cross (Article) - 11/25/2009 8:16:03 AM
Mark,
The average young person who voted for this clown doesn't bother to follow details . They're still running around with their fingers up their asses saying, Man, ain't he cool!
Obama Double Cross (Article) - 11/25/2009 1:51:11 AM
Make that a triple cross, Mark. Let’s not forget that when they do need treatment chances are it ain't going to be available.

Oh, so funny! I imagine the reason you didn't post a picture of Kody is because you were afraid he'd eat the page; right? lol

Harry will be pleased that you have given Kody a home, shelters shouldn't be a permanent for anybody...

Sounds like you have a dog with a smartass sense of humor, Mark. Every dog I have had was determined to "possess" everything I thought was mine, the new one Zoe included. I, and everyone who has dogs and loves them understands about "those big, mournful eyes." Nice article . . . jpb
Fact check on Factcheck.com (Article) - 11/21/2009 5:59:03 PM
I suppose, Joseph, that was the same scenario when the pictures were released of Obama that were taken at a Military Service recently? Everyone was saluting except him - again. And Hail to the Chief was not playing when the caskets were rolling by. I know--Obama was singing a MJ song, "I'm Bad, I'm Bad..." and he was holding his crotch like MJ did! Right?
Fact check on Factcheck.com (Article) - 11/21/2009 12:06:14 PM
The pagan god of Fact Check is owned and operated by one of the most liberal newspaper in the US, the St. Petersburg Times. They had announced bankruptcy about 10 months ago and then no one heard anything about it again. A recipient of bailout stimulus money, perhaps? I think Fact Check had ought to Fack Fheck the St. Petersburg Times!
Fact check on Factcheck.com (Article) - 11/21/2009 2:22:12 AM
Mark,
I know the picture you are referring to. Anyone who saw the actual news coverage of President Obama on Veterans Day knows that you are propagating another falsehood. C-SPAN footage from the event shows that this photo was snapped just after President Obama took the stage (around 11:16 on the video) — "Hail to the Chief" was playing, NOT the National Anthem. The others on the podium aren’t saluting Veterans or the country; they’re saluting the Commander in Chief.

I see dim light is using his god and Master fact check again. Guess we'd all better bow to the fact check god or we'll be rendered ignorant!
Goodbye USA (Article) - 11/20/2009 9:36:01 AM
What Sun doesn't even address is the fact that those criminal acts, however damn many, are performed by ILLEGAL'S, and the are not immigrants they are criminals just for the very fact that they stole their way into the United States of America.

This is an old chain e-mail which was NOT written by Professor Joseph Olson and the statistics listed are NOT accurate.

It might be a good idea to do some research before you copy & paste next time.
Worst Presidental Decision (Article) - 11/16/2009 1:29:21 AM
Mark,
If these scum bums are actually moved to the US (The Repubs are fighting it) there will be chaos in the streets of NY. If the Obamaler Admin doesn't think some extremist Muslim group won't try to free these killers while they're being moved around the city to get to court and back; they're crazy! Come to think of it, They're crazy regardless!
Worst Presidental Decision (Article) - 11/15/2009 10:33:18 AM
He really likes spitting in New Yorkers' faces don't he. How about another unannounced AF1 fly by on the opening day of the trial. He can have the plane repainted with crescent moons and stars. Say he doesn’t have SOA printed on his business cards….does he?

Who is one Light? a Democrat? A member of that illogical grouping of dillousional liberals who believe it is entirely possible and feasible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Damn, Mark...Three Trillion? Are you sure, that's more then I make in a whole month!
Oh, oh, I see Dim Light is slipping...no fact check or website URLs that nobody reads posted! lol

Times sure have changed, haven't they? People don't want to own up, accept responsibility, blaming their parents for every thing. I like who you are, Mark. You turned out swell. :) Well done.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
An oddity (Poetry) - 11/14/2009 1:47:47 AM
Poor Mark, he only has himself to blame, at least I have my parents to take the blame about everything! Isn't life swell?.........LOL
Seriously, where we came from, what we are and what the future has in store is the stuff that helped Freud to be universally known, but not us!
Georg
An oddity (Poetry) - 11/14/2009 1:14:57 AM
Nice write Mark...Guess I'll have to think about this when I grow up. LOL
An oddity (Poetry) - 11/13/2009 7:03:53 PM
Sometimes it seems natural to blame ones parent(s) for their own short-comings or for things that we feel we lack (or lacked growing up) in our lives, but as we grow older we come to understand the sacrifices our parents made for us and we also see that they did their very best ... no one could ask for more, really. I think you turned out alright, my friend (smile) ~ Your friend, Lizzie :)
Sweet Lips (Poetry) - 11/13/2009 12:31:13 PM
I think most of us have experienced the loss of that first real love and though at the time the pain cut like a knife we manage to translate that into a fond memory. Nicely done. Patrick. By the way my mom was a great cook but her cabbage wasn't worth a damn.
Sweet Lips (Poetry) - 11/12/2009 9:01:20 AM
Such a stunning poetic memoir.
Sweet Lips (Poetry) - 11/12/2009 7:40:52 AM
Just as we expect from you Mark a romantic piece of your heart that still survives today.

Anna
Sweet Lips (Poetry) - 11/12/2009 5:16:35 AM
I find it ironic that often we remember the ones that we lost who broke our hearts more than the ones who we parted with as friends...but love is a mystery.

And thank you for your service. =] Happy Veteran's Day, today and every day!
Sweet Lips (Poetry) - 11/11/2009 6:21:32 PM
Like I said, be careful of those memories. In this case I think you have managed to recall the sweetness and chased the dark nightmares clouds away . . .

Mark,
I have a cyberspace relationship with two ladies on another website.One's married, one isn't. We know nothing will develop, but we do share a certain, strange love affair. Very descriptive, I might add of what we would like to do together. But, alas, I imagine it will have to end someday!
Her Name (Poetry) - 11/5/2009 7:18:15 PM
Awwww, how I can feel the heartache you express so well...
Be always safe,
Karen
Her Name (Poetry) - 11/5/2009 9:02:04 AM
So sad are your words Mark, it would break my heart to know that a love must end. Another great write.
