Very interesting and enjoyable reading as usual. I haven't left a comments on all of the chapters, but, they were all very interesting and entertaining reading.
We'll Take Good Care of You: Chapter 10 (Short Story) - 1/11/2008 3:18:06 PM
*OOPS!!*
I missed one, Liz! Sorry 'bout that! Still, all in all, a good write, just like the others in this riveting series! MORE, MORE, MORE!!

We'll Take Good Care of You: Chapter 15 (Short Story) - 1/10/2008 12:26:09 AM
Liz,
I'm with Kate...something is fishy here. Just from your descriptions of Janice in previous parts, we know she wouldn't do this. I can't wait to find out what happened to her! Intriguing & suspenseful writing:)
Sheila

Oh my goodness! What an interesting place this hospital of yours is, Elizabeth. Well, so much for their lunches, I guess (lol.) Like Karen said, I'm so glad to see you back at work on this story. More, please!
We'll Take Good Care of You: Chapter 15 (Short Story) - 1/8/2008 5:05:21 PM

We'll Take Good Care of You: Chapter 13 (Short Story) - 12/22/2007 11:39:31 PM
An interesting chapter, Liz. I'm not sure how she can be so happy after losing her baby. My sis lost one at a very young age. Even though it 'may have been for the best', she was still extremely distraught. Everyone is different, I guess. Good work~
Sheila
We'll Take Good Care of You: Chapter 12 (Short Story) - 12/22/2007 1:10:28 PM
This doctor could use a better bedside manner, I think. Perhaps the hours, frustrations, and worry have him on the edge. I know I was on the edge reading this chapter. Great work, Liz!
Sheila
We'll Take Good Care of You: Chapter 10 (Short Story) - 12/22/2007 12:25:55 PM
Liz,
I've mentioned before that my mother was an RN. She used to say the same thing about how the doctors treated her - "invisible". Great reality in your stories. I enjoyed this part.
Sheila
We'll Take Good Care of You: Chapter 9 (Short Story) - 12/10/2007 4:44:11 AM
"The bathroom door slammed open followed by Rob, the force behind the door." I love the unique phrasing of this line, Liz. Very creative. You are pulling me deeper into this story. I feel like I'm in the house, watching it all go down. Well penned! -Sheila
We'll Take Good Care of You: Chapter 7 (Short Story) - 11/20/2007 8:41:53 PM
I feel for Jessica. They're treating her like a criminal. This is an engaging part to your story, Liz. You have my rapt attention! Hugs:) Sheila
We'll Take Good Care of You: Chapter 6 (Short Story) - 11/20/2007 8:26:42 PM

Noting your personal experience is a great incentive for any writer looking into this genre. You have a gift for ending a review with positivity, which encourages potential book hunters!
Sheila

Sheila
Book Review: Write to Murder (Article) - 1/11/2008 4:04:48 PM
What a fantastic surprise, Elizabeth! I walked into the den and sat down at the computer and saw that I had an email. When I clicked on it was I ever surprised to see "Book Review: Write to Murder" staring at me . . . Thank you so very much for this nice review, I am stunned and grateful . . . You are a gem . . .
Book Review: Above and Below (Article) - 8/30/2007 6:43:29 PM
Dearest Elizabeth, I cannot tell you how honored I feel. Your kindness and generosity shine in every word!
S e n s i t i v i t y ! That my work speaks to you is. . .I can't think how to say it. . .it is so a f f i r m i n g. One of the reasons writing has saved me is that it is a means of connecting at the deepest level with creative and empathetic souls. . .I started to say 'like you,' but you are one of a kind! As in, the *best kind* !! Those I admire most {think someone whose initials are EAP} have
grown, rather than let themselves be embittered by Life's Little
Lessons. and are always open to new ideas and experiences. Determined never to stop learning and sharing!! You are all these things, and so much more. I am grateful beyond expression that you have come into my life, Miz Liz. Your works reflect your breadth of knowledge, joie de vivre, humor, and respect for literature and the tools of the trade.
Thank you so much for. . .e v e r y t h i n g.
Love always, and Then,
Phyllis

It would be so hard to have this problem. I sympathize with you. My friend Lucy has lost her central vision, but she is still facing life with gusto and praising God.
This is a great metaphor for life, as some have mentioned below.

Well there probably once was a time for a seven minute clock. Now? Well it depends. If the Carl's Jr ad is running, or they're selling perfume I might get reminded. I remember as a young adult the thought of my "elderly parents" rolling around in the sack made me cringe. Now I'm downstream of 60 and as you say, "what the hey?" I still like rolling around in the sack. Patrick
Here Is What Was Said (Poetry) - 3/18/2014 2:06:23 PM

Here Is What Was Said (Poetry) - 3/18/2014 10:58:04 AM
Heh.Heh Daughters don't like to think of such things. They just don't think their mother could have the same wild desires she has. Nope, for all intent and purposes, her mother is a virgin, and she wouldn't have it any other way.
Old One Eyed (Poetry) - 3/17/2014 4:36:58 AM
That's the problem nowadays
Most of us are half blind

There is a saying in China to reflect a person who no longer wants to care about anyone ir anything that is happening to the world around - Living life with one eye closed.

Old One Eyed (Poetry) - 2/23/2014 9:18:39 AM
Cute. Reminds me of the time I bought contact lenses back in the dark ages. I was in college and my father called me "moneybags" for making such an outrageous purchase. My eyes have always been quite dry. The first time I lost my contact was in a darkened theater. However, I looked down and it was on my sweater in the flickering light. The second time I lost my contact was in a car at night when it was below zero outside and the car seats were covered with hard, cold, plastic. I believe we found it shortly after I lost it in that dark car. The third time that I remember was just after eating and discovering that I could not see out of one eye. We searched the house, but I think I ate it. I think the first one was replaced for free, after that I had to pay.

As someone almost blind, it's the things i can't find, that bothers my mind. I can relate.

Going through life half blind, I never know what I will find
I think most of us can say the same!
Old One Eyed (Poetry) - 2/22/2014 9:59:02 AM
A very interesting perspective Elizabeth. It seems like it's been quite some time since I have seen you post, but maybe I am just out of the loop. I enjoyed this. It is humorous on the surface, but really quite profound...
Going through life half blind I never know what I will find
I hope you are doing okay. And though I don't know what it is to be physically blind, I have walked through some very dark valleys of late. Jesus is all the light we will ever need.
God bless.
Old One Eyed (Poetry) - 2/22/2014 9:45:07 AM
As bad as it is now, Elizabeth, it could be worse. Blindness. It has always been a fear of mine.

Hahah! Gotta love it, Elizabeth. Those who profess to "know" have about ruined this country.
Don't Know Nothing (Poetry) - 8/30/2012 1:04:36 PM
The difference between us and those that we are supposed to vote for is that they pretend to know when they need our votes and then pretend to ignore everything when we expect to see results! Just my personal reflection, Liz. By the way, this is a clever and wise piece of writing!

You can only eat so many zucchinis before they become bland. (like maybe one.)I recommend the vegetable of the month club. Everything is fresh. Just avoid the brussel sprouts, always bitter unless you are willing to go the extra mile in their preparation. Patrick

For someone who don't know nothing, I think you are a well informed person. I related to your poem big time; so glad you offered this succinct poem for us to view. I will be at the polls early to vote and hope and pray for better leadership from a man/woman who has their mind and heart on the pulse of the American public they will serve.

Don't Know Nothing (Poetry) - 10/20/2011 5:13:00 AM
I think you know more than you are saying, and I'm voting too, I have a feeling my vote will cancel out yours.
Well-written poem. You gave and lot, but held back on purpose, and that made it as good poem.
Harvest Time (Poetry) - 10/19/2011 1:25:40 PM
There's nothing insane about changing directions, Elizabeth, and Harvest is certainly not about standing still but about recouping blessings and ploughing the seeds of them back again for next time... Plenty of movement in that! The winds of your thoughts seem harnessed and ready to journey on with the flow in this "crossroads" write. Good stuff! xx

Harvest Time (Poetry) - 10/15/2011 1:40:25 PM
"Harvesting insanity" has a deep effect on me, a powerful line. Also, I was thinking that "Changing directions" is not just the last line of a poem, but the beginning of something new.
Axilea
Harvest Time (Poetry) - 10/15/2011 9:16:12 AM
Nice, simple but direct and a write that most of us can relate and focus on as we too wonder what the coming year end and year beginning may offer.

I love haiku/senryu. Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking one, Liz. From Wikipedia regarding the difference between "haiku" and "senryu": "...they both have a similar construction. A haiku is usually about nature and has more of a serious tone while a senryu is more often about human activities or doings and often has a more joking tone." Thank you for sharing. Love and best wishes,
Regis

We had a runner, Clayton, a black lab. Had to watch him like a hawk. Both of our current dogs are now chipped so we have a fighting chance of recovery if they escape. There is little worse than the pain of one's lost dog. But......a 3 dog night is but 2 adoptions away. Patrick

This is a combination of the two, Elizabeth. Haiku's are 100% about nature, senryu's are about anything else. The first and last line are senryu's, the middle one, haiku. Matters not they are all, taken together, beautiful.

So very sorry to hear of your loss; our pets become like a loving member of our family.

Once upon a time
I did have soulmates
a black and tan male
and white female
of the shepherd kind
~Elizabeth~
You did capture my sadness
with yours...of me
losing the black and tan
within three months
then losing the white
grieving herself to death

Wiser words were rarely spoken!!
Do I ever know what you mean!! My daughter is 55, my son 53...won't say my age, but...let's just say I wasn't a child bride. Every minute

Ray is always quoting an old gent who was asked how he was doing.
"I may not be rollin'," he responded, "but I am still rattlin' !!"
Love the poem as a poem, as well. Clear and simple and not a word
