The two love stories were heartwarming. And of course your tribute to MJ and Farrah were so thoughtful. I agree with your take on Michael Jackson, expressed with such perception. Thank you so much for your kind words on my post.gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14488809730387509552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-10645380422077253542009-07-13T06:34:22.491-04:002009-07-13T06:34:22.491-04:00Just found out!

The first story, about a woman who meets a kind pharmacist who helps her overcome her alcoholism and who she falls in love with, showed how one person can make a difference. The second story, the mini, was an interesting editorial on the over-coverage of Michael Jackson's death. The last story, about a woman who married a genius who was also a good husband, showed that being smart can be a good thing.<br /><br />I have my own stories up now.<br /><br />Stephen from Scottsdale, Arizona, USA<br />http://stephen-has-spoken.blogspot.com/Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05652404381086061102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-87227298684648138882009-07-11T21:42:54.235-04:002009-07-11T21:42:54.235-04:00Raven, I liked your love stories!!

Laugh and the world ...Here's my Submission! :)<br /><br />Laugh and the world laughs with you, kept ringing through my mind as I trudged through the darkened parking lot of the drugstore. I was in search of a new keyboard for my pc, as someone had poured juice into my present one. It was a lovely morning until the spoilage occurred causing my euphoria to sober up so to speak. The day continued in the same fashion of blunder after blunder, even my favorite daydream about a shining white knight ended up in disaster. Finally by the afternoon I gave up and took my son to pick blueberries. Despite my disgust of the horrid fruit it was the only fruit in peak harvest season to keep little hands occupied. The drugstore trip for my precious keyboard had to wait until evening. The only other customer was a kindly old man, whom reminded me of a screech owl when he spoke. He was still mumbling about how outrageous the price of lampshades had become while I was paying for my purchase. I quickly and quietly tucked my coveted possession in my coat and hope tomorrow would be better than today!Snowangelhttp://snowangelpipers.blogspot.com/2009/07/wordzzle-challenge-week-71.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-52959239611566067622009-07-11T07:09:04.898-04:002009-07-11T07:09:04.898-04:00Three well done stories.

Vicki and I are off to the mountains in the morning, will check in on all the stories when we get back.<br /><br />Have a great weekend.<br /><br />RichRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17028871782757014447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-19272319760000494552009-07-11T00:29:30.677-04:002009-07-11T00:29:30.677-04:00Loved the 'who's next' and the 'la...Loved the 'who's next' and the 'lampshade on the head drunk' in your ten word! :)<br />Loved your insight in your mini. I saw Mommy Wisdom's comment last week and my thoughts were that Farrah Fawcett had been upstaged by Michael's death. I think she fought a courageous battle.<br />Uh, George is too good to be true. :)Carlettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178161514195582965noreply@blogger.com
