Dear Jay O'Toole

WOW - you have Snoopy as you header! I Love Snoopy - in fact I have Charles Schulz's autograph! I agree with you about poetry being a catharsis, and maybe that early 'love-affair' wasn't meant to be ...

I am glad I'm reading your bio-block for this activity -- I wasn't aware that you wrote radio advertisements at one time. I've been a copywriter in advertising, too, more than 30 years ago. And it's interesting about the piano playing and tuba playing! Would love to see a picture of you playing the tuba!! I love the way you describe your flowers as your children.

You have Santa as your biography cover, so I didn't get to see what you look like. You're about 7 years older than I am. I notice your religious upbringing influences your writing, which is great because you also say you write in times of deep emotional situations - so I guess writing helps you heal. Congratulations on more than three decades of marriage! It's a wonderful feeling to hear of couples staying happily together. I love the NARNIA books too. In fact, in Grade 6, I played Edmund in a class play. (Being an all girl school, we took the boys' roles too.) I was Edmund in the scene where he first meets the White Witch, and I wrote a song called 'Turkish Delight' which I sang after she drove away. I see you slike Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Well, you know the tune, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang We love you. When I was small our car was 7200 which we called Seven two Naught Naught. We'd Sing 'Seven Two Naught Naught We Love You' in the same tune.

You are very active on the Newsfeed, with items you add to your portfolio. I love your blue owl sig! There isn't much in the Review tab for me to write about so I'll skip that. Your blog has won a lot of awards and comprises poetry entries and prose entries. It loos pretty interesting! In your Community Tab I see you've given 463 public reviews, made 2469 forum posts and collected 243 trinkets.

Well, it was great getting to know you a bit! Thanks for being part of this community!

Hallo Wannabe

HEY! You've been on WDC ever since the site celebrated its first birthday! I can't imagine the changes you'd have seen on here. Great that you still log on regularly. I love the quote you've put on your portfolio tab - about everyone having a place in the world. From your portfolio, I take it you like writing Mystery. I also notice items for the community, like recent promotions and how to. Those are helpful!

Since you haven't mentioned your year of birth, I am not sure how old you are, but I guess it doesn't matter. I see you live in Canada, I have a cousin living there. You have your review requests on and have given a total of 451 reviews to date (that are visible). You are quite active on the Newsfeed and have recently highlighted a Valentine Tales Contest. From your community tab, I see you've created two Trinkets! I love trinkets!

It's great getting to know you - thanks for being part of this community!

Dear Ichabod Crane

Your cat has the same colour scheme as my cousin's cat! I'm the feline's favourite aunt, so I already love your cat by association.
The titles you have in your portfolio are interesting - 'Show off your MB' and 'Riddles and Hollers' particularly caught my eye.
You are 12 years older than I am, and from West Virginia, which I know from a song by John Denver!
In your bio I was glancing at the tech stuff and then suddenly saw 'short order cook'! Really ... ? And a stand up comedian -- along with a father of 5 human and numerous fur babies! I'm not sure what the condition is you mention but I hope you're coping with it as smoothly as possible.

The notes you put on the newsfeed reflect your spiritual nature, as do the titles of your blog entries. Your review request are turned 'on' and you've given more than six hundred reviews to date. You've collected 129 trinkets, which means you're not a trinket maniac like some of us here!
