[quote button ain't working] And (if I may be permitted to crow) I am graduating with honors. To paraphrase Muhammed Ali, "it ain't bragging if it's true" Again, my respect and congrats to you! Now, the question that haunted me... "what're you gunna do now?"
"12. My graduation is Sunday. Halle-bloomin-luiah!" (My quote button ain't working) An aside: I work at a community college here in California, and as a member of the educational administration, I am considered a faculty member. At graduation, we have a tradition: before the graduates file into the stadium, the faculty form two rows on either side of the graduates, and applaud them all as they pass. We graduate about between 1,500 and 2,000 students a year, so it's a good 15-20 minut

Check those geneologies of Joseph and Mary. One's in Luke, and the other's in Matthew. Notice David's name and notice that his son Nathan is in one geneology and his son Solomon is mentioned in another. They can't both be Joseph's as your link suggests. You can't have Joseph coming from David's son Nathan and also his brother Sol
Ah, so well done - fleeting and evocative. Reminds me of my summer of 1983, which we won't go into. Good work, Beebles
Your list is a fun exercise, but in reality, I don't think you'll find someone with all those qualities. If you do, the search will have taken so much of your life that you'll be able to buy His and Hers hearing aids and walkers. I tell any females who are looking for Mr. Perfect (someone who meets all your preset characteristics), stop looking for Mr. Pe
This is really interesting. Could you please tell me where it is prophesied that the Messiah will be unmarried. It seems very unusual from a Jewish (OT) perspective. Link The above link givs a Jewish perspec
I felt like I was running alongside... there was no distance between the author and this reader -urgent, not removed...
I liked the urgency of this writing. well done.
I heard that song today and I pictured you in your floral print muu-muu in your overstuffed chair in that stuffy duplex in San Fernando Valley Has your limp healed yet? Are you finally at peace and not worried about your wayward children? I can still hear your voice comforting and cautious "Chick
Maggie - Thank you for helping me put my week into perspective. Super big congrats on your graduation! And big big respect for doing it so your kids could see it! (Just curious, what's your field of study?) Seriously proud! Buddah M
Thanks! Yes, please buy it! Either from lulu.com or amazon.com. (but lulu.com gives me a higher royalty- get this: $3.67 per book. ) Seriously, thank you for reading (and commenting on) it here. I'll never be able to tell you what a kick it is to know that someone somewhere might be smiling or thinking or laughing because of what I've written. Thanks <img src="../images/smiles/smile
Damn right! Fat people can and MUST be loved! (in the shape of )Buddah , shalom, Moskowitz "I'm not overweight, I'm just underheight."
One further thought for the men: if she tells you that there's no chemistry, then stop right there! There ain't no way to whip up chemistry if she doesn't already have it. If she says that, buy her a drink, and thank her for not wasting your time. And then, move along with your dignity still intact.

Sally, From the title, I thought this was going to have some tips about handling baby chicks. I've been scooping them up with a shovel for a few weeks now, but they don't seem to like that. Men: She's right, don't stare, dribble, drool. Don't think being blunt equals being direct. Be polite. Be willing to get shot down at a ratio of 10:1. C'mon men, it's just a little rejection. It's not like that's anything new. More than tha
For a beautiful wife's hair, don't begrudge her one cent! Link
at a Mexican fast food place after I ordered my lunch I took my tray into the dining room it was the kind of place that had bench and tables in the dining room and pockets of dirt and grime in every corner and I noticed that the benches and the tables needed a good scrubbing and I tried not to look too carefully
This is good, maybe a little too brief, but perhaps, that's the point of such moments.
Another slice of uniformly great writing. You have this real talent for taking a moment and sketching it perfectly, from a few different angles, gently highlighting an insight, and then, moving on (thereby leaving your readers wanting more). (For an example of how NOT to write this kind of piece, please see Link ). Maggie, I want to read more and more of your work. You're one o

I'm at that age where the only time I want it twice is before I've had it once.
I agree with Tova. My wife is more than my bestfriend so I don't put her in that category (those of you familiar with the Jewish idea of bashert will understand). If I had to pick, my best friend is my fellow writer Johnny Masuda Link . Met him in grad school back in the late 1980's and he's always been as close as a brother. So, I salute you Johnny Masuda. Also, buy hi
Ms. Mitchell - this just tears at me. Beautifully done and achingly familiar. I've lived each role, the one longing for more and the one holding back. How tortured it all can be. I hope (at least), that the players in your scenes perform their lines with heart and understated humor. This poem would have depressed me, but it was too beautifully done (I know I said that already, but still, it's true). I'm no literary critic, but I
Well done!
