[05-03-12 @ 5:14pm] My night with Mom didn't end well. I was expecting a fortune cookie I could read and add "in bed" to the end of. But the worst happened. I nearly stormed out of the place, into the pouring rain, because of what her husband did. (not my dad)

[05-04-12 @ 1:55pm] Suze, doesn't the editor have a title for it? What's your slant going to be? I assume you will not be writing about Crazy Willie who lives in the shack on Nightmare Hill but more about Granny Feedler and her brood who get together every Sunday for dinner?
  :: Steve Ellen

[05-04-12 @ 2:00pm] I had considered the characters here, but who would believe it? Dad-I can take you anytime--go for it. Slant? Hmmmmm, I have been known to walk crooked at times--maybe that's why I keep falling over!
  :: Suze nearly 1000 reviews given

[05-04-12 @ 2:22pm] In bed? That just doesn't work Suze. The ends of your sentences are not exciting enough. You should try something that can more easily misinterpreted, or people will simply not be able to add their input.

[05-05-12 @ 6:30pm] Mr. Z-input, output--let's all put ourselves to the test--how does your sentence end? Actually, my end gets larger everyday--writer's spread--you should see Steve's spread (how's that Mr. Z? did I do good that time?)

[05-06-12 @ 3:44am] MoonMoth has been thinking he should talk about himself in the third person. What do you guys think?? Does it make MoonMoth sound erudite and educated, or does it make him sound arrogant and clueless??
  :: MoonMoth

[05-06-12 @ 8:04am] If you put "Does it make MoonMoth sound erudite and educated in bed" I might have paid more attention.
  :: Haze. Purple Haze.

[05-06-12 @ 11:31am] What talking about MoonMoth in the 3rd person makes MoonMoth is an objective writer instead of an emotional reflexive. I know it's worked wonders for Steve. And it's really the only way we can all be equal, isn't it?
  :: Steve Ellen

[05-06-12 @ 8:55pm] Are you saying that Haze. Purple Haze is not equal? He doesn't agree.
  :: Haze. Purple Haze.

[05-06-12 @ 10:57pm] Suze likes. Speaking in third person is fun, Suze knows that, she just didn't know that Haze was a male Suze wants to guess other people's gender. Is MoonMoth a male or female? Is Dad a male or female? Suze confused.
  :: Suze nearly 1000 reviews given

[05-07-12 @ 2:58am] Guessing gender is too easy. Guess their shoe sizes. In first person it's me and them but in third person it's all them. Isn't that more soothing? To be absorbed?

  :: Steve Ellen

[05-07-12 @ 9:20pm] Should Dad answer that "to bed" instead of "in bed?" Dad thinks that would make more sence. Dad suddenly realized that Bob Dole liked to refer to himself in the thrid person. Dad doesn't think he likes doing it that way any more.
  :: Dad

[05-08-12 @ 8:02am] Mom doesn't think he likes doing it that way any more. Or any less. "We've never had a third person in our bed and you're not about to start fantasizing about her now, dammit!"
  :: Haze. Purple Haze.

[05-08-12 @ 3:25pm] Each marriage is different. In some a third person sweetens the pot, in others a third person sours the stew. The important thing is that it's dinnertime and we only have two spoons.
  :: Steve Ellen

[05-09-12 @ 7:35am] Spooning can be done in multiples of two only. Unless you're referring to the three Gay Irishmen joke. (Write me to get the full thing in an email.)

[05-09-12 @ 9:27pm] Are the three Irishmen Hugh Fitzpatrick, Patrick Fitzgerald, and Gerald Fitzhugh?

[05-10-12 @ 3:49pm] You don't think the other participants at the meeting would become alarmed? I can almost hear the panicked cries of "Rabies!" reverberating through the meeting hall as chairs are overturned.

[05-10-12 @ 10:05pm] You make a good point, Steve. I had trouble getting past her wanting to blow bubbles at will. Who is Will? Why are we blowing bubbles at him? What if he objects to having bubbles blown at him? I got bogged down in it terrifically.
  :: Dad

[05-11-12 @ 7:41am] That and FIRE AT WILL, always seemed to me to be unwittingly firing at the poor guy. I mean, on Star Trek, Next Generation, poor Will Riker was sitting right there the whole time. Luckily, none of his crew fired upon him.

[05-12-12 @ 9:34pm] You refused my marriage proposal? I fan you now.

[05-14-12 @ 3:02pm] Norelco. I once owned one. It was neither close nor smooth and if not well-oiled, the hair snatching was painful. It's probably the reason I still wear a beard after all these years.
  :: Steve Ellen

[05-14-12 @ 9:47pm] I've got to start paying attention to what I'm reading. I read Steve's last sentence as he is still wearing bread after all these years. And, considering it was Steve, it made sense!

[05-15-12 @ 6:53am] I was in New Jersey. I blurt things out when I am in New Jersey. Don't read anything I write when I am in New Jersey. I am now in Arizona. I will write in red if am in New Jersey so you will know not to read it. Thank you for your cooperation!
