RIP, Me Too! I fell asleep a couple of times.

Ali! I love the comic strip. I think that's my Mom!

However, I do consider myself an engaging writer... and I've been told on many occasions that I have a compelling 'voice' within my documents.

I should leave this topic now. I could write quite a bit more... but only because I love you guys and like to share bits of my personality with you. I encourage you all to write, especially about metal detectors. Manufacturers do a woeful job of documenting their products and I rely on you guys more than you know.

And if you want some advice on exceptional, inspiring early American literature, please look into Henry David Thoreau - I often think of you guys when I read his (and Ralph Waldo Emerson's) work because he loved nature, the forest, the Earth....

Now read my favorite comic strip EVER and laugh.

Wrote another one just for you KC !.... once upon a time there was a young lady that lived way way down in florida who thought 47 degrees was cold and became very very annoyed when she couldent go out and play! Then the next day it warmed up and all was sweet an peachy in Kellycoland once moe !

I like to write, but can not spell or type well. My grandmother wrote songs, poetry, and short stories, Beale.

I'm more of poet and philosopher than a story teller.

I really have enjoyed your short stories and think you should publish them In a book, John from California is also very talented with writing. I have always loved writing but get blocked and carry through. Keep em coming. Thanks
