Okay…totally see the flaw in starting three paragraphs with action…redundant? Need to mix up? Went through looking at commas you removed and I see why. I am beginning to think I do this because it is the way I talk in person. Very animated and I take a breath for emphasis (smile) but realize I didn’...

Lesson #1 Feeding my pets is such a boring everyday task, but if I want them to live, I have to feed them every day.  (this is my attempt at a little humor) Lesson #2 Although I’m a huge humor advocate, also like using suspense and fantasy in my stories. (You said one, so hope two is all right) Les...

Ooops....RE: Staying On Topic, reply. I just can't write an article and pull it together unless I am able to find "something" I've experienced that is somehow related to the topic. Sometimes what I find is pretty darn remote, but it fires up that connection inside of me, which propels me i...

Cat, thanks. I'm going through some junk right now, and kind words like yours are very soul-soothing. Jan, I do hope your load is lessening and I will keep you lifted up in prayer until it's behind you. I find your fortitude to continue "taking care of us" with your constructive nurturing...

Hi Ann,

I missed this post, but have been reading it, reviewing it, and then re-reading it.

Not sure if you wanted feedback, but I cheated :oops: , and googled the dashes; to find out they are, less formal than colons or semicolons?

Hi Ann, I ALWAYS get confused with using I or me. Sometimes, rarely...it sounds ok using both. BUT, that being said, I think I've got it. I came up with a mental reminder for using I or me. MOP=move other person.....out of sentence and see which one sounds correct. I do like your easy reminders for ...

Hello Miss Carol! Yes, I also, don't get all the notifications when someone has posted, so I do what Ann suggested, cruise the forums I like. However, it is a bummer sometimes, because I get busy and forget some of the ones I want to follow. HOWEVER, it is a good exercise in keeping my brain polished!

Thank you Ann, Okay, I think I've got it. I went back and fourth with all of the corrections you made, except the coma after Oh. I didn't and wouldn't have put it in, so don't understand the reason behind it....(little pun there) :) AND didn't catch forgot. :) And pretty sure I am not younger than ...

Oh, good, you're only an hour ahead. My phone, under world time, said 4 hours :oops: “Oh wait , I’m sorry, I forget to mention that I just downloaded the Norton Anti-virus software through Comcast if that helps.” I interjected.

For me, probably try once and then have you correct.

I did struggle with adding and removing commas, so gonna see if what I would have done, was correct.

Be back in little while. Your in Canada, 4 hours ahead of me?

Jan,
Yes this was meant you. Since day one, I have got you and Jan mixed up and just don't know why. Think it's the rhyming thing :)

And thank you for the info. I actually want to use fictitious names, just didn't know if it was legal in a nonfiction / true story book.
