I suppose I'd be ...Well, I don't know, "Anonymous". <BR/><BR/>I suppose I'd be offended if only I knew what the hell it was you were whining about.<BR/><BR/>So you have a problem with something Strayer said? Why should I give a damn? <BR/><BR/>I don't know Strayer, but I do know she, like the rest of us, have our own problems, and deal with them our own ways. Some of us cry about it on line. If you don't like it, don't read her blog. If you insist on reading her blog and don't like what she says, then suck it. <BR/><BR/>For all her faults, she does a hell of lot of good, probably more than you (whoever you are) have ever done for anyone save yourself. If I had money left after getting bled dry over bills, I'd donate.<BR/><BR/>"delete my truthful post"? Truth about what? The only truth I see here is that maybe someone missed their medication–either that, or here's just another bully talking trash about someone you, for some reason, don't like. <BR/><BR/>I'm not deleting you're post–I've been pushed around and I know what its like. Your words deserve to stay up here, to show the rest of the world what an anonymous, cowardly bully acts like. <BR/><BR/>If I used too many long words for you to understand, here's the gist of this response:<BR/><BR/>Screw off.Samuel John Kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514541030057763303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189482.post-3126453935667501252007-10-23T18:31:00.000-07:002007-10-23T18:31:00.000-07:00would you kindly tell your cat fan #1 lying bullsh...would you kindly tell your cat fan #1 lying bullshitter strayer cat eyes to quit going online and lying about not having a doctor??? the rest of us seem to have no problem calling the physician referral service for a doctor if in need. miss i go online and bitch and whine and moan and groan for attention and sympathy does not understand or care about the basics;....but instinctively i know that you will waste no time to you know..delete my truthful post here at you know whose instruction...have funAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189482.post-61188257415704722892007-10-23T01:06:00.000-07:002007-10-23T01:06:00.000-07:00Looking forward to whatever you have coming up the...Looking forward to whatever you have coming up there, sir.

Getting a "Hallo" from that artist is just a bonus.<BR/><BR/>As to the speed of production, necessary or not, I can only opine with the words Isaac Asimov is said to have uttered as to what he'd do if he were told by doctors that he had 6 months to live: <I><B>"Type faster!"</B></I><BR/><BR/>Seriously, though, your Emberverse stories have several touchpoints: one, you've obviously done a lot of homework on Oregon and the Willamette Valley, and the feelings I get when I read your descriptions of the territory ring true, brought on by a lifetime's experience being born and growing up in these parts–I read a certain fondness for this area, and as a local, I appreciate that; two, it's been said the characters in the story are compelling, and it's true; me and mine have had the pleasure of seeing Juniper...er, 'scuse me...Heather Alexander in live performance and your riff on her as the Mackenzie character is inspired; three, of course, the whole concept of the story is intensely interesting.<BR/><BR/>The point at which the series really moved in to my head to live permanently was, sometime in <I>TPW</I>, I think, when Juniper and her entourage are making their way across ruined Salem on their way from Larsdalen to Dun Juniper and pause on (what I assume was) the Center Street Bridge to view the log jam that had collected there, thence to come up against Baron Liu's Protectorate party out near where I pictured was Salem's airport. Even though you hadn't mentioned the route, I pictured one near enough (Center Street, 24th Street NE, State Street, Airport Rd SE, and Turner Rd, with the meeting near a place called Cascades Gateway Park). Envisioning a deserted and ruined Salem, where I grew up, really put emotional punch to it. it was good up til then. It was great afterwards.<BR/><BR/>I see I've gone on quite a bit. To summarize: great story, fellow, and <I>type faster, man, type faster!</I> B-)Samuel John Kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514541030057763303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189482.post-34797609205946301002007-10-22T19:24:00.000-07:002007-10-22T19:24:00.000-07:00Glad you're enjoying them!
