Little Kate in particular...are you UP TO THE CHALLENGE ????

J D
Oh, this is a DOOZEY alright!!!!

I CAN'T use 'AND'!!!!!

SHEESH!!!! Wha a challenge master you are, JD!!!
And see!!!!.... you have me all in a dither that I can't type! (But that's nothing unusual, right?)

And note I used the word 'AND' in my comment ... and that makes four times already!! I may as well get it out of my system now!!! 'Cos I am going to accept your challenge, JD!
Bring it on Katie!!! :)
I dunno, JD....this could really be a tough call for me. After all, I've only recently posted a piece on the caldera in WY. That's a tough one for me.
We'll see.....
I'll be certain to read what others may have to say on it, tho'.

PW : You have talent oozing out of your pores! You can DEFINATLEY do it!!!

Please ??? : (
I'm gonna see if I can drag Susan Creamer Joy over for one poem!!!
Might work..and imagine the ART !!!!
How can I say no to such a sad face and sweet gesture? I swear, you could charm the birds from the trees with such wording.....


Not yet, tho', okay? I'm packing and then peeking in on OS between boxes.
OH! yes! Do try! SCJ's finely crafted lines with artwork? Brilliant idea!
Pea-Dubb, that face of JD's is hard to resist, is it not? I'm sure Susan won't be able to either! And when she brings her wonderful writing mixed with art ... well ... then WE ALL WIN!
BTW, I'll be offline for several days while the computer's getting fixed. It keeps acting up. The fan motor makes sad noises, and the optidrive is no longer able to accept disks. I miss my machine already, and we haven't even taken it in to be repaired yet!
:(
Strange but intriguing idea...
Could you make it a little more difficult?
AND I agree with LK you’re a tough task master.
However this could be very interesting in the end.
AND I’m going to get this a try.
sorry about the typo "give" is what I meant
@ MCS .... AND I'm smiling! : )
News: The 'puter won't be going in until at least Thursday eve. Ah, well......
*sighing*
PW : You got time...we'll wait for ya' ! :)
its uploaded AND it was fun :)
M.C.S. -- It is also VERY VERY GOOD!!!!!
It's up, JD, for good or ill.....
@M.C.S.: I quite agree with J.D.'s assessment. It's excellent.
Thank you for this JD, as Poor Woman's inspiration was a great read...although not so thrilling a thought, any of this end of the world stuff. I might not get a chance to participate but my thought would be "transition."
The Maya Prophecy refers to our last era of 25,000+ years as the Nine Hells. The next era beginning this December is referred to as The Thirteen Heavens. The last era ended years ago and this in-between time of today is referred to as the Apocalypse by the Maya-- this all having been recorded prior to 900 AD.
Interesting, eh?
@Just Thinking: Aren't you sweet! What a nice comment about what I had written!
JD,thank you for sharing...such an interesting comρetition.I will not be able to ρarticiρate but my short insρiration,goes like this...
"Just thinking on how to stoρ the not loving of the earth...maybe tears will tear hate away,since when the end of the world comes I do not want to be there,I do not want to witness it"...Rated on motivational work!!!
Wow how did you come up with this!? I will be watching but have to give it thought to play along...
Can't use "and," eh ?

Include an OS avatar, you say ... ?

This could be very tricky. Interesting challenge, JD. I've read Poor Woman's & trilogy's so far ...

Mmmm ...
JD Smith's query makes me worry and get limper.
Could it be we go out with a bang not a whimper?
Okay..I gave this a whirl.....
Must say, it was fun :)

Thanks,
TAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uh-oh! Looks like she's got you, JD!
;)

'puter's still not been to the shop, still not acting quite right...driving me nuts at times.....
:(
what a great challenge. this looks like a lot of fun. I have to go in a minute, but I'd like to give it a shot if I can find the time today!
