Gee I didn't make the gallery. I guess I haven't been on enough to read more of your writing. This is a great post for the 50th milestone. I admire how you made it all rhymes. Good luck with the rest of your writing.

Geez Earl, if I had known what a great guy you are I would have made it just a picture of you alone! (Big Smile) Thank you my friend for such an awesome review and those lovely six stars to go with! Please count yourself as one of those that I spoke of in my author's notes that said, "you know who you are." Actually I don't think we had the pleasure of meeting until about the day after I posted that. It was important to do those at the same time, as 99% of the people are truly amazing and between them and the therapy of pushing myself to write more, it's been great for the soul. I thank you again my friend for your very generous six star review. You are awesome!

Hi Debi,
Usually, under your name somewhere, there's the month and year you joined our writing community. But I don't see it below your name and pic. In any case, I think you're fairly new... so, welcome! I hope you enjoy it here as much as I have since June of 2010. The people (writers) here a great bunch. You'll make lots of new friends, and learn many poetic forms. Have fun with the contests, and win some, too! But take it from me, don't be a slave to the rankings. Write for fun. Write for the joy it gives you. It's better to write for quality rather than quantity. And that's all I've got to say about that.
I enjoyed your poem, your 50th, a milestone! You've been busy to make it to #11. Your smile tells it all... you're having fun. That's the main thing.
Nicely penned! Congratulations!

I am so sorry Kimbob, but it's hard to take you serious with that clown gear on. But I just bet you are a fun guy to be around.....I have been writing poetry for around 60 years and when I got here, I was shocked how much things had changed, since my college professors would had heart attacks or failed me, had they seen how I am writing now on this site.. However, it is one thing that I am not fond of that so many here think their new rules are the only rules. And I do know for a fact that they really aren't "rules," as much as preferences. I didn't care for those that thought since they had been on FS longer, that gave them an edge and made them know more than me.
And I hope that doesn't come off sounding like a snob, because nothing could be further from the truth. I just chose not to be intimidated easily.
However I remember when we weren't to start sentences with connecting words like I just did. Now that's a rule I can get behind! I do thank you for your very kind review of my 50th and milestone post, as I truly needed for the thank you to FS and milestone to be together. I feel like I have known most of these people for years and years, and they truly are like family. I thank you very much for your most kind comments. It was so very nice to meet you!
Comment from judiverse
great work getting all those pictures together, and a wonderful idea to accompany your post. Congrats on reaching your milestone. Personally, I'm grumpy because I have to write over 250 more posts to reach mine., which is 3000. You did an excellent job of describing the attractions of FanStory. You're right about the rules of grammar, punctuation, and spelling have changed over the years. It's hard to keep up with the new ways. We have so many different writing styles represented on FS. Makes it interesting. Very smooth rhyme and flow in your poem. judi

Thanks Judi. This was very important to me, as I have been excited to do them both together. The last few months have been have been healing for the soul, and for that I am so very grateful! How come the milestones are so far apart? That's a lot of posts! And yes, I always laugh when I explain that my professor would have had a heart attack if I would have turned in one of my poems w/o punctuation or caps. Thank you for always being one who have been so gracious and kind.

You're very welcome, and thanks for your sweet comment. I wish I had more time so I could read more of the writers on FS. judi

Your views my dear are spot on and your perception is perfect.
The only thing missing is the timing of it. When I joined FanStory my first milestone was called I'm Being Held Hostage. That was written for when it felt like that to me. My husband was so overprotective that it was actually making my health worse. I have Lupus and things haven't been so well.
But 50 poems later, my mental health is in a a much better place due to FS and the people here. That's why I truly needed this wonderful fellowship here. When I do my 100th I pray my physical health will be as well better as well. And if that happens, I'll throw a party, with another big thank you! Lol!
Thank you so much Haylee for being a sweetheart and a friend! I hope you know you were one of them that I wrote about when I said you know who you are.
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
A lovely tribute to your friends here at FanStory. I've been writing more in the last five months since I joined than I ever have. And poetry - I never wrote poetry before!
Congratulations on your milestone and I look forward to many more.

Oh Pam, thank you so very much and I am so very appreciative of all your kindness. That's why you were one of the first on my list to look for your picture. I have been so excited to do the thank you and milestone at the same time.. Thank you for the kind review and comments!
Comment from Janet Foor
First - congratulations on your milestone. Well done.
This is a delightful poem of gratitude which many of us here on FS have experienced as well.
I'm not as active as I used to be but I still feel the encouragement from our FS family.
Well done Debi.
Blessings

Congratulations of your milestone post. Writing (poems / stories) opens the door to another world, and places like fanstory are a great hideout for the writers from all over the world. I wish you plenty of good time and lots of inspiration :)

First of my friend. You are on this list as one when I wrote, you know who you are. You are one of the first people I looked for, because you have always been so kind to me. Actually, I should have listed the people that meant so much to me on the sides of the picture, and may still do that because I am thinking of framing it. Not because I did such a great job of writing, but because of what this entire post meant to me. I have been so excited to get to this place, another goal before I am gone. I planned that my millennium would be a thank you, in case something happens and I have to leave. I guess what I am saying, that I am sharing with only a few people that my health is failing and my Lupus has truly been flaring since those years of covid were so hard on me. The pain is getting unbearable and my kidneys are failing as I have been stage 4 kidney disease for about a year that we know about. My hematologist knows that I have bleeding going on, yet a year of extensive testing doesn't show where. They know because I almost died when my hemoglobin fell so fast that it has screwed up my blood and so many of my numbers in labs. Sadly the hematology diet completely is the opposite of my my kidney diet. So I continue to get infusions of iron, and stuff to boost my cells, blood transfusions and now they will be doing a stem cell transplant procedure and another risky experimental surgery coming up as soon as they can make arrangements for me to go back to the Mayo Clinic.
I decided last year to get rid of the opioids that the drs had pushed on me for the last 10 years, but now I live with the pain, as I hate the feeling of the medical cannabis that they have me on. And although I love the writing, its getting harder to type but worse to write. Being confined to a wheelchair most of the time is why I needed this outlet so much.
I am only telling you about this in case of a sudden I am no longer here, and the selfish part of me would like to think that I would be missed. I'm just being honest, but the humble and emotional part of me says that I never want to be pitied because I am going to write as long as I can. I just don't know how the next couple surgeries are going to go.Thank you Joan, as you have been there from day one (even if I thought you were a guy at first) and I truly am so very appreciative and think so much of the bond and friendship that we have come to know. I have to come to love you dearly as you have been so good to me. Thank you so much!
-
You;re welcome.
Sorry to hear about your lupus getting worse. I will pray that doctor's will find a diet that will work for both your major problems and that you will make though your upcoming medical procedures. I think you are courageous and smart to get off the opioids and live with the pain. I'll be watching for all your posts.
You aren't the first one and won't be the last one to think I am a male beaccuse of my screen name. It seems people think only males can like dragons. I have liked them since the first time I saw a painting of one and the song Puff the Magic Dragon came out. I was aboout 5 or 6.

Thanks for your kindness and prayers. This place is so healing so I will keep trying.
Lol, I think you told me after about a week that I was here that you were a woman, and I've known you as my friend Joan ever since! : )
-
Joan, I do need to apologize for yesterday, as my doctors all agreed that needed me to increase my dose of medical cannabis, which I hate taking because it screws up my thought process and caused me to have a little pity party yesterday, and made my fears elevated and caused me to overreact; therefore oversharing, and for that I truly apologize. That is not like me, and I am a little embarrassed by it.
-
Debi,
No need to apologize. Maybe your mind was lettiing you know you needed to vent.

Thank you so much my friend!

Jen, I just checked and you were one of the pictures that I lost during printing. As I tried not to miss any that I have come close to during my time here. You are a special friend and I thank you so much for your kind and caring words.
