Ha! Very funny Richard. Love it.

Richard Lynn Livesay Apr 2, 2012, 2:19pm UTC

thanks, Atticus...how's your Duck book going? Also some reason I can't post this prompt to Mindful Poetry site?? Any suggestions?

Atticus *. Apr 2, 2012, 2:25pm UTC

Duck book is in the works! coming along nicely, thanks for asking.

Mindful poetry is moderated. Susan will approve your post shortly. (She is a busy lass.)

Richard, I didn't see this one in the queue. It's not there now. Let me check on your member status at Mindful Poetry. Once I found people there with mixed up privileges and had no idea what was what.

Susan Budig - Mindful Poet Apr 3, 2012, 12:00am UTC

It's fixed. No understanding of why you were restricted to not posting. If I did something somewhere along the line, I apologize. Which I know is a crummy apology, but I'm not sure how to word it. :-)

I don't know what had happened.

Richard Lynn Livesay Apr 3, 2012, 12:16am UTC

ohh, great as I couldn't figure where to post and couldn't get in...no apology needed but appreciate and look forward to the advanced Budig course in poetry...I think I'm ready

Richard Lynn Livesay Apr 3, 2012, 12:18am UTC

I think it's there, now, Susan

Richard Lynn Livesay Apr 2, 2012, 11:02pm UTC

I was wondering where my Kama Sutra was...they're doing it in my clean drawers...will be doing some Spring cleaning and changing my drawers...I better stop 'fore I get XXX

Del Nerkez Apr 3, 2012, 1:39am UTC

as long as your gravy ladle does not jump up and say "Oh yea???? well FORK YOU!" i think you are still safe!

Richard Lynn Livesay Apr 3, 2012, 12:12pm UTC

ha, well the fork jumped out and stuck me today, saying' "your almost done!"...so I jumped back in the oven with the rest of the vegetables and cuddled up next to a carrot but the half-baked potato made a nasty remark

Del Nerkez Apr 3, 2012, 6:27pm UTC

lolol.

was just thinkin - were you and i to get together for a few "adult beverages" we may chuckle, chortle, laugh and guffaw each other into certifiable insanity!!!!!

Del Nerkez Apr 3, 2012, 6:33pm UTC

i deeply apologize - my mind is so off todaqy, that in the above, i omitted the smile, snigger, snicker, and snort. how silly of me!

Richard Lynn Livesay Apr 3, 2012, 8:40pm UTC

I'll finish the Chortle and Cheese...here try a bite of medium Guffaw...then let's raise our glasses of iced tea ...every once in awhile I'll have a brewski w/ my Mexican food.

Richard Lynn Livesay Apr 3, 2012, 8:45pm UTC
