~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ �How I Do My Reviews�* Just want to explain my review methods!! First of all I saved all my �friends� Ad web pages in one file The moment I started to track you You became my friend� Now I get your new �post� in my E-mailbox As you all know using the tracker facilities When I am ready to read and review your work �offline� I double click on your name while still offline If and when your name appears in my mailbox First come first served my motto unless you are my �Buddy� Or when we did work together �I will read you first!! I double click on your name in �MY SELF CREATED FILE� I open say ten at one time unless you have music like I do I will open your work on a later stage� Because it does give problems and freeze me up at times {OKAY I AM GUILTY MYSELF�being greedy to read you SO I WON�T KILL YOU FOR THAT} Then I open my own page to login As you know we need that �login� to allow a comment I go online and after I am logged in I open all the other pages on poetry or what ever you wrote After all the pages are ready and done I disconnect to save money that way I read you as time allows me�do a review� Or even a silly comment if I think you are okay with me doing it When I am done with the ten pages I go back online�submit/send the reviews After all are done I open the next ten AND DO THE SAME �THINGY� {wink} for those who think I am cute Let me know�lol!! I know some of you doubted my method And think I am running through pages Just to get attention from your side YES I WAS accused of THAT BY SOMEONE!! But as you know I stayed loyal to my friends and trackers Some of them for over two years now Without receiving one single review back from them And yes sometimes I do feel abandoned And wanted to give up on you But by now I know better I realize that some of my dear friends and poets Are very busy people and have a life of their own Like we all do� and do not have enough time to do what I do But there are those I know for a fact That�s ignoring my work at times And for some reasons� and explained their reasons And I do understand why But then there are those that ignores me flat Because they do not like what I offer or with who But I still follow their work no matter the feedback from them And now I want to ask you If and for what ever reason You do not want me to visit your page With a review or comment from me Please just drop me a note in private And I will not leave you a comment in future Although I might still read you anyways You will not know it if I popped in Thanks to those of you who trusted my friendship To be honest in every way And trusted my judge-mend as a friend �Now me posting with Bill Murray� I am the reason for him losing his lifetime membership at AD By complaining to Matt about him Not going into detail about it now� Because as you know by now We are working together again�and he forgave me I did not know my complaint would be the fatal one And I want to apologize once again for being Me!! And I feel I owe him another change to shine And I want each and every one to know I love him� and I am sorry for what I did to him May God forgive me!! Hang me if you wish� I am guilty as charged!! �That�s All Folks� Love Tinka Copyright �2004 Tinka Boukes

Dear Tinka,

Keep on with your wonderful reviews dear friend, and if others can't understand, unfortunately it's not something you can change in an instant. Your comments/reviews are ALWAYS appreciated, and I will admit, I am guilty of not always being constant, but do try and catch up. As regards to Bill sweetie, it's your life, and explanations I feel are not necessary, just enjoy. Thank you for this Tinka.

warm hugs and love
Elga

This is as complicated as a government manual - or the directions one gets for assembling the child's toy under the Christmas tree! But you are truly a goodnick, Tinky. And I always look forward to your den visits, and to reading your work.

PS It is weird about trackers who never read or review. I have about 20 folks who have been tracking me for over a year - and I've never heard one word from them. Hmm. Wonder what they are doing - and why they are tracking me. They must be government spies.

If that is the only thing you are ever accused of you are lucky. I never know what you are going to say in a review, and half the time, I don't know for a fact what it was you did say, but I like you anyway.

Tinka, first off, your reviews have been a blessing to me and if you had been doing them to get reviews back you would've quit my site the times when i was simply too depressed or busy to read and review yours. i hope you'll go easier on yourself and wish you best. Dawn

I enjoy reading you and hearing from you. I wondered why Bill has not been posting for awhile. For reviews I track and I read from the latest posts. Basically somedays I read all day long and other days I barely read because I am writing or catching up with life stuff. I have enjoyed getting to know you through your writing. Thanks for the sharing.

I am not 100% sure what all this fuss is about, but I can attest the fact that Tinka leaves honest reviews at my den and I have not reviewed her work in ages. So how then is it that she would be leaving comments to garner favor or attention or otherwise??? BULLSHIT! I have actually caught people doing that to me! Tinka was NOT one of them. I don't know what the hell has become of this place??? It seems like there are a dozen or so truly gifted poets, about 100 troublemaking cry-babies, and 10,000 Jesus freaks! I personally have little interest in posting my work and rarely do. I am just waiting for my membership to run out and I am gladly finished with AD. And I don't give a rats ass if you like what I'm saying or not! Any of you crying pussies got something to say to me? My address is on my home page. I go to bed at 10:30 EST so don't show up later! Oh and by the way, bring an army!!!

You have a well devised plan! Perhaps you could help streamline government a little. Wait, your plan is far to practical for government. Oh well, it was just a thought.

wow, that sounds so complicated. i just go in and read and comment online but then it doesn't cost me anymore to be online 24 hours so that makes it easier. my problem is that i can't log in from home for some unknown reason so i have to review at work, often long after i have read the poem and i sometimes miss people i enjoyed reading. as for bill, he is a very complicated and often misunderstood person, i am guilty of writing a tongue in cheek poem once making fun of his conquests with the ladies, never realizing it would hurt his feelings but we later became friends and he was always nice, well, a little flirty but what's wrong with that really. i'm sure he forgives you

Oh my goodness!!

Now you got me feeling guilty! I am not good with keeping up with reviews although I do read!!! I am not good at writing long lines of praise....sometimes I just read something and smile or laugh.....but am at a loss as to how best pen my appreciation. I know you show up on my pages very often, am always happy to see that! Oh my.....I guess I should leave some footprints! lol

I do see your name all over AD, and I just figured, you love Poetry.......and enjoy the site! I never thought you were the type to drop reviews just to recieve them back......like looking for an ego stroke! My goodness......no never! And whoever thinks that about you.......well......don't sweat it.....its just the internet.....nobody is in your cabeza (face in espanol)

The Bill thing? Well that had me totally confused.....but I am happy to see a friendship mended!

Hows your ape anyway......the real one!!!??? Bobby? Still got him?

Thanks for the smile Tinka........
keep it up......no banana slips!!!

Your name has gotten to be very familiar to me, in both your
work and your comments, both of which I appreciate.
I found it interesting that your 'system' of reviewing is almost
identical to mine!
I have to count my minutes too, or it gets quite costly.
Or I get 'bumped.'

I love seeing your name on my work, Tinka, it gives me a warm feeling of appreciation and acceptance, especially during my 'crazy periods' when all I do is purge my self-disgust for whatever length of time it takes. You ARE loyal, you've tracked me for almost two years. Thank you, lovely lady. AD's 'Woman of Heart'. :) And I've seen your work improving with that immensity of reading you do, often times your humor can't help shining through with smiling splendor. I know why your are explaining yourself, it is okay with me, I tend to do the same thing way too often because I want people to see the me behind the words or laughs.

I haven't forgotten my offer of cookies and a place to visit. I'm not much of a baker, very occasionally making chocolate chip cookies, which get devoured before I could ever think of sending you any. But, I do whip up some good fudge around Christmas, and will send you some. :)

Back when that was happening with Bill, things were cyber over-sensitive and kind of strangulated in this community, the flux of new personalities and perceived rivalry's created misunderstandings and defensive attacks, many people who were here then are not, now, time moves on and we learn as we make mistakes. It's the learning that makes us better, more compassionate people.

Keep on being you, Tink.

Your friend,
Erin

Never should you defend yourself, to me, to anyone, as defense is a sign of weakness and that you are not! As for Bill being ousted possibly because of you, well I doubt you caused it altogether, I doubt Matt could oust a person just from one persons problems...either way, you apologized therein and all is forgiven, lets move on...and as for reviews, I certainly do love anything and everything I get, either positive or negative, I can learn from both, so keep them coming dear friend & buddy...Peace from Ed and Rufuz
