Another good portrait. Well done. - Thanks, Moskowitz
Hey, very good. Terse and packed with intensity. Good job! Thanks!
144/110 was the blood pressure reading and I immediately began calculating odds deathclock.com predicted I would die in July 2037 at 74 and realage.com said my body was closer to 49 than my actual 43 my waist is still under 40 so I take comfort in that but the number that hangs around haunting me
Thanks, my pals. I'm always struck by how many people just want me to go through life without examining it. Keep on writing, both of you inspire me. - Buddah Moskowitz
Wow, this is a damned good piece of inspirational writing. I say copyright it and put it on posters and gift cards. It's seriously that good. I'd pay for it. So impressed! Thanks for sharing. -Moskowitz
Great! This was perfect! Thanks.
My Man, Shovelheat Thanks for the kind words. If I cannot use my writing to connect with the everyman, then I fear I have written poetry, which, you know, I hate. - thanks, Moskowitz
Looking at the oily French fries I saw a stain on the discolored melmac plate and I wondered: what caused this? was it a fresh stain or has it been here for years? did the cook wash his hands or for that matter did he scratch his dark oily hair? As I bit into my pastrami sandwich the eternal wa
They all deserve a reverse boycott for that B.S. as far as I'm concerned. What's a reverse boycott? Don't you mean, we should boycott those advertisers?

Dear FS Sorry this is belated, but the wish is sincere: Here's hoping you have a great year ahead, and I hope your birthday was splendid! Sincerely, Buddah Moskowitz
I liked this, more approachable writing. Thanks, Moskowitz
I liked the rhythm of this poem. Well written. Thanks.
Finally in middle age you settle down and come to realize just who in the fuck you really are. And then it's to damn late to do anything about it. Now, that's poetry. Thanks, men, one and all, for your continued reading and kind words. Moskowitz
Hey FS - Good and meaty - I loved this. Thanks for sharing. Moskowitz
Hey Tova, Ask anyone who knows me - fiction rarely interests me. This had a creepy, documentary feel. Very well done. Don't listen to the editor in your head. She's only there to trip you and slow you up. Keep it going. Four stars. Thanks Moskowitz
When I started I wanted to be Groucho Marx then I wanted to be John Lennon because they looked confident distinct alive in high school I wanted to be Tony Manero from “Saturday Night Fever” then I became Woody Allen and Richard Pryor because they helped me feel less ashamed that
my commentary: yes you wrote a good haiku but now look at me (seriously, well done) - Buddah
Niecly done, Doc. Our perspectives are like kaleidscopes, static until we change them.- MOskowitz
As a former atheist, I completely agree with you: it can be annoying, or in some cases, just needless to say God Bless You. However, for many, they have no way to express the magnitude of their gratitude, save for invoking the name of God. You're right, for many, the only way some people do the right thing is because of religion. Try to think of it as the best they could do, rather than as a burden to you. I don't think that man
KaBoom! I dug this. - thanks
WWW Link nicely done. the link is to my take on this - an early poem I posted on JU almost two years ago (can it be two years already?) Thanks FS
Wow, this was great too. I continue to be impressed by the depth of your sentiment. - Good job.
Bravo! That was so insightful and fun to read. Thanks!
