Since you have been

Quote From: angel111999

"THANK YOU"..."THANK YOU" for your information you have given me that is so useful. I am going to
try it out later when I have more time to enjoy it. I am going to use my "down time" to concentrate on all of this so I will get it right.

"THANK YOU" for the compliment on my writing! I have been writing since I have been a kid. I am so
glad I can "share" my "thoughts" and "feelings" and that it can be "appreciated".

It was "meant to be" just a few days ago to find this "beautiful" "PLACE"
to "share" with such "nice" "people" here.

"THANK YOU" to all
that visit this "PLACE"
of "FRIENDSHIP"!

Angel :)

Writing since you have been a kid.......

 

Dr Phil call's that your true authentic self!

 

BRAVO  Angel

Wow..."MY AUTHENTIC SELF"..... that's nice to know.
I would send my writings into a magazine, it gave me chance to "share" my most intimate feelings with other people that "appreciated" my thoughts

Being a victim of "ABUSE" throughout
my childhood, writing gave me a chance to put my "thoughts" and "fears" on paper. It
was own "private time" when I was locked in my room every day.
I was not able to have any "friends" and when my mother would have her friends over I was not allowed to be around them either.

When we moved to another house when I was in the third grade,
I was only allowed to
sit in a screened in porch while other children were playing
in an open lot in front
of our house.

At that time, my only way to cope with
all of that was to write "poems" and "songs" while listening to a radio. It was my "escape" plan from
the "reality" of my mother's "dominating" and "posssessive"
ways that I know I could not get away from.

That was a "CHAPTER"
In my "life" that I was able to use "COPING SKILLS" under the circumstances.

Now I am "blessed" to have a chance to start another "CHAPTER" in my "life" being "ACCEPTED" for who I am through all the "thoughts" and "feelings" that I am
able to "SHARE" with all of you.

Again "THANK YOU"
for such a warm "WARM WELCOME" in this
"SAFE PLACE" with people I am "comfortable" with "SHARING" my "past"
without being judged.

ON A LIGHTER NOTE

Along with sharing all
of our "FAVORITE"
things....

like our "favorite" birthday
cake....oh I forgot to include mine...it is "Chocolate Oreo
Crunch".

And our "favorite" songs.....mine that I already mentioned is "From This Moment On"
By Shania Twain.

I thought we could "share" some of our "favorite" movies.....

Some of mine are
"City of Angels"
"Sleepless in Seattle"
And "Ghost".

What do you think of that idea?

If you have a chance.......go to any book store or order online WRITERS MARKET 2009  It gives name and addresses of all magazines agents etc  and the amount of $$$$$ they will pay you for your articles.  Per words etc.  I think it even tells you how they want it IE double space,  14 inch font couirier news  stuff like that!

 

 

How to write a querry letter etc.  I think the book is like $29.95

 

 

Go  for it girl!  GOD put you here for a reason!

Be on the LOOK OUT PIXIE!~

Quote From: yesyoucan

Not to sound like Lucy on I LOVE LUCY. Yet, "Whaaaaa" All that cyber red text up there that looks like an eviction notice and "Old Message Boards" going to be closed down makes me exceedingly sad. Talk amongst yourselves... as I feel like crying... So I'm off on errands to try to pick my spirits up from being in total cyber shock and grief. OMG(oodness)... someone say it isn't so. I feel like the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac crisis hacked into the Dr. Phil Website with a foreclosure sign.

PRAYER CHAIN "across the boards" and behind the boards and so we don't lose our "Old Message Boards".

I'M JUST WINGING IT

On a cyber wing
And a...
PRAYER for us all and our "Old Message Boards"


Something is coming your way!

SMILE YOU ARE ON CANDID CAMERA

Quote From: outwithit

 
What nice pictures. You all have beautiful
smiles!

I can't tell what is in the decanter. Is it wine?

My family likes to drink "wine" that both my husband and I make every year. In fact, we are picking up the grapes this weekend like we
do at this time every year. It is so "rewarding" drinking what we make!

Happy Day to You!

I AM NEW HERE AND I WANT THIS MESSAGEBOARD TO STAY

Quote From: aces24

Sea- I'm not very good with the computer to begin with. I'm just now getting use to this board and now there going to change it again. I'm still trying to figure out how to put pictures up. Which for the life of me I can't figure out. I say if it ain't broke why fix it.

Hi,
I just got on this "messageboard" only a few days ago and I like "sharing" with the people here. I am just learning myself like you.

Is there really a chance that we won't be able to post on here?

I hope not.

NO HELP

         I went to see why I hadn't gotten my sewage bill today because I've always had it by the first at the other house. Since my water wasn't turned on here until the 19th of last month they haven't sent out the bill yet. While I was at city hall I went over to the engineers office to see where I could go to get my house inspected. They were astonished at the problems I'm having! They told me I would have to go to my Realtor! The person who inspected my house is a very good friend of my Realtor's BOSS!!! My Realtor didn't get one penny from the sell of this house because HE PAID for everything the sellers said they would pay for but didn't!!!! They told me that if my Realtor didn't make things right I would have to sue them! So I think I may have to put the house back on the market, I certainly can't live here without Hot Water, it's getting colder and boiling water for luke warm baths isn't going to cut it when the temps drop down to single digits!!!!! IF ONLY lightening would strike and burn this place down to the ground!!!! I can't even THINK of trying to get a job right now!!!  I feel so filthy,even though I try to bathe, I wouldn't hire me so how could I expect anyone else to? I'm once again feeling HOPELESS!!!! If only I could disappear into the darkness every one would be better off.
