Hello! I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your story your writing style is truly engaging and unique. It kept me hooked from start to finish. I’d love to know, what inspired you to start writing stories?
Riley Gets into Predicaments (Book) - 7/8/2026 8:16:21 AM
I really admire how unique your plot is. It didn't feel predictable at all. Did you always know how the story would end, or did the ending change while you were writing?

I love journals and this one sounds fun but when clicking the links to find out more it appears they are broken. Both Amazon and B&N said they couldn't find the item I was looking for. Is this no longer available? I'd love to see it.
I am a Runner--the Memoirs of a Sepsis Survivor (Book) - 6/14/2019 7:36:08 AM
You haven't written enough for me to know what caused the sepsis or the amputations. Or an excerpt from your book showing us your writing style. I have often written that I am, "a long-distance runner." It is a metaphor for my 56 years of paralysis and counting. Actually, I was a fairly good distance runner had a very good distance walker the very year that I was paralyzed.

The Wilderness Series (Book) - 7/7/2018 9:26:12 AM
Scientifically, time travel isn't impossible, although the original, The Time Machine, is considered science-fiction. However, your attempt to go back to more primitive times, especially for youth to read, is commendable, as long as it is accurate. I'm thinking of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. The way that King Arthur's court is depicted is primarily mythology from all the stories. Scientific investigations have not even determined whether or not all of those stories are based on any facts.
On the other hand, I think there is a good body of knowledge about the Lakota Sioux. Going back to that time and showing how people lived, like Little House on the Prairie, does the service to history.
An excerpt would be neat.

Dear Margaret, (Book) - 5/28/2018 6:59:12 AM
"Dear Margaret" is not a novel but simply the letters between two friends. Margaret is in at home doing the regular things a teen age girl did during the 1940's. Harry enlists in the military to defend his country and goes everywhere Uncle Sam sends him. His letters contain vivid detail of war time life- sometimes busy, other times filled with little details of everyday soldier life. He shares first hand accounts of battles including the attack on Pearl Harbor. Through reading the letters the reader gets to know the two young people, to a degree. I wish there was a narrator to fill in details. Overall, good book, especially for those WWII fans.
Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the Author. All opinions expressed are my own.
Dear Margaret, (Book) - 11/27/2017 8:57:26 AM
These are fictional letters between a young American woman and a young man who was present when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Harry, who is based on a real person, works as a radio operator with a flying crew.
The letters are very convincing. They have a very natural tone and are actually enhanced by some awkward expression and a few grammatical mistakes. These are not Pamela Ackerson's but rather Margaret's and Harry's. They make the characters more real.
This text gives us a lot of insight into the history of that time and what it was like for those left at home and for young men fighting for their country.
Even more convincingly, the letters just tail off and we don't really get a conclusion. I was utterly convinced that these were real. At the same time, Margaret and Harry become convincing characters we can relate to.
A great read for anyone interested in this era.

I am sure for some this is a great book but I could not get into it as it seemed to jump around to much for me. I had a hard time keeping up with what was going on. I am sorry that I did not like the book but I hope others will.
Thank you for the chance to read it.

It is apparent you don't live in the southwest USA or close to the wall, because then you would not be confused.
As far as I know, Canadians don't have cartels that smuggle in children to be sex slaves. They don't bring gangs in, with tons of Fentanal and other poisons that are killing off our children.
As far as I know, they don't smuggle guns in, so teenagers can kill each other. Farmers and ranchers don't find Canadian children dead on their ranches from smugglers.
We don't need to build centers such as in Lubbock TX to house hundreds of ex-sex slaves from Canada.
See, this is what the wall blocks out or at least tries to. Terrorists are also now finding a hole in our country, so they can start or promote terror.
See, good Mexicans come in the right way, legally. The wall stops everyone who is illegal or at least tries to when we have a legitimate government who understands the issues, such as Gov. Abbott of Texas.
I hope you are no longer confused.
The United States, The New East Berlin (Article) - 11/30/2020 1:56:11 PM
I was driving in Vermont once and missed my turn into Swanton. My dad and brother were with me. Suddenly, ahead of me was the border crossing station. What?! I realized my missed turn then and said to my family, "No problem, I'll just turn around." My brother told me, "you better not, they'll get suspicious and arrest us." What?!
"We didn't do anything wrong! I'm doing a U-turn."
Well, I decided to not turn around. I tried to explain that I missed my turn. I had not planned to enter Canada. We were detained. Had to show proof of U.S. Citizenship. Hun?! We were told that we were in a zone now where we couldn't enter Canada or our country, the U.S.
Now please tell me, why should illegal, non-residents be able to just waltz into the United States while legal residents are given the third degree. Your article is well-written, but one-sided. But it helped me understand why there is so much confusion and emotion.
The United States, The New East Berlin (Article) - 10/21/2016 10:59:42 PM
The great majority of Mexicans come here with good intentions (much like the Canadians), obey the law, take work that residents here do not want (working the fields, in kitchens, in motels, as baby sitters and nannies, mowing lawns, and as carpenter assistants. They send money home to feed their families and pay their bills. They pay their taxes, especially Soc. Security, but cannot draw one penny from it. Did I mention their crime rate is one-half that of those who live. And to think that just 170 years ago we stole Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, and part of Colorado from them. Nearly the entire population of Mexico has relatives here. And to think that they also fought with us in every war since the Civil War with valor. Yeah, we should really hate them...it's in our blood.

Boycotting Telechek (Article) - 2/17/2011 8:03:55 AM
In the past 6 months, I have had 2 checks refused at Walmart here in Arkansas because of Telechek. Like most others here, I called Telechek to find out why. They said it had nothing to do with my account balances and that I had not had a check returned anywhere. They stated that I was "not in their risk area". One time, they said I had not had my checking account long enough (I changed banks 6 months prior when I relocated to Arkansas). They said I needed to build a "history" so that it would be approved. How do I build a history when checks are refused? I told them it was not a credit card, it was a check. There were ample funds. They said they were sorry, but it didn't matter. The second time, they had no real reason, except that I was "not in the risk area".
I have written checks for many years without ever being refused. I was totally humiliated in a crowded Walmart TWICE for no apparent reason. I had written checks to Walmart in another state for the previous 15 years without any problems ever. But now, I could not take a chance. Everyone, including the checkers and management, look at you as if you were a criminal, as if you were trying to rob them.
I will be doing everything I can to boycott any company that uses telechek as a authorising service, primarily Walmart. yes, their prices may be lower, but they obviously do not respect their customers. That is not worth saving a few dollars. I will be taking my money to business who WANT me for a customer, not one who humiliates their customers.

Boycotting Telechek (Article) - 9/23/2008 1:08:11 PM
I had a very interesting conversation with Telechek. An online check was refused, and when I asked why it was refused when there was more than enough in the account, I was informed that they do not check account balances. They do not have authorization to check account balances. So, I asked why we were refused. I was given a couple of generic excuses and kept pushing to find out what was the problem. I was finally told they could not tell me the reason for the rejection, they were not allowed to give out that information. When I asked how I was to fix this problem since I didn't know what caused this problem, "That's not our problem."
Human Customer Service (Article) - 1/30/2008 2:59:23 AM
What aggravates me most is the companies who call your home to solicit business but use a recording to do it. Why is their time so precious? I worked in customer service and I agree with Fee. Though you're not getting paid much, it's important to smile and be friendly even when you don't feel happy. You are a reflection upon that business. Word of mouth is very powerful - I wish more people would use that power like you do! Great write!

The issue is coming to our country legally. Most Americans have a problem giving people amnesty. Interesting comparrison.
Human Customer Service (Article) - 2/6/2007 11:33:02 AM
I agree with you a hundred percent, even the jokers who work the cash registers at fast food joints have forgotten how to smile it seems. I know that our jobs aren't always the ones we would choose...still if we are getting paid to wait on people, smiles should be a requirement or money cheerfully refunded out of salary, I bet you would see grins from ear to ear.

Boycotting Telechek (Article) - 1/12/2007 8:16:44 PM
I enjoyed my Christmas shopping as everyone...until telechek. Walmart electronically accepted my "convenience check" and the cashier returned the voided check. The receipt printed....All seemed fine.
3 Weeks later, Telecheck notified me that it had been a "failed transaction" although it had posted to my credit card account correctly, had been verified with the customer service agent on the account.
Apparently, Telechek does not know the difference between a credit card(bank card check) and a personal check.
That made me somewhat uncomfortable knowing they are supposed to be protecting me as well as others.
This is one reason your article on telechek was so relevant.
Thanks.
Randall
Boycotting Telechek (Article) - 12/25/2006 10:31:30 PM
All 3 of my credit scores are above 310 and I've never written a bad check out of any of my substantial checking accounts. I've been turned down by Telechek twice now. I hope they enjoy passing through the bad checks that they are obviously approving.
Boycotting Telechek (Article) - 11/12/2006 9:19:59 AM
Over three years ago, my wallet was stolen from Kroger. I called my bank putting a hold on checking and credit cards. Next day, I went to the bank and to the police stattion and reported the information. The next day I got a call from Wal-Mart in Mississippi advising me that someone had just written a check on my account there. I told him my story and he asked if I had gotten in touch with the check clearing companies. I did not know to do this but started calling and got in touch with a person at Global and Certegy. Tele-check had only voice mail and advised me to fax them the information which I did. I then got a notarized affidavit. Sent driver's license picture, police report and affidavit to all three companies. Everything ok with Global and Certegy. Had to send 2 more times to Telecheck. Each time with the promise that the case would be resolved. Now after three years they have stopped my check writing abilities in stores on my checking account with a different bank that I started three years ago. Upon inquiring, they are missing my notarized affidavit that I had sent them three times. Now I have to find the information again and resend. Yes, this is embarrassing. I tried to resolve the issue with them but to no avail. Also, insist with the police department that they write the crime report. They were not too interested. Also, trying to be a good citizen, I called the police department in Mississippi and told them the story. They were not interest and stated that it was no longer my problem. Over $7,000.00 was stolen. Looks like it is still my problem. Also Kroger was not interested in reviewing their tape. Wal-mart was excellent in helping to resolve the crime since two checks had been written to them. I am writing a protest letter to the credit reporting companies.
Lowering Your Cholesterol (Article) - 10/17/2006 7:23:37 AM
A good and helpful article, Pamela.
I've been wondering, do you know if any prescription medicines raise cholesterol?
and speaking of meds, I take Lipitor. I wanted to stop, so I didn't take it for 3 months. On Lipitor, my total cholesterol was 145. After 3 months without it, it was over 300, which was where it started out originally. I don't like taking it, but it looks like I am one who needs it.
