And here you are reviewing mine and I haven't seen yours yet. I am like 60 reviews thank you messages backed up, but had to respond to yours right away.
Since Glen has been in the hospital that almost did him in a week ago. (He will be fine) but its the getting rides and someone packing this girl up to take her back and forth. I have been using any spare time to work on the interviews, write and keep my mind occupied as much as possible. On my way now for a pre-op and presenting my 'Deadly Shooting at Allina Clinic' tonight at a ceremony for my clinic put on by our city of Buffalo. But when I have a minute to review, yours is the first place I go to. Anyway I have to have everything done by the end of the weekend because Monday is my next surgery. Glen sure picked a bad time to almost die from a couple blood clots. (I guess that wasn't very funny) But what really sucks is that he's in Buffalo hospital and mine will be in the Cities at North Memorial Trauma Center. So as my one of my closest friends in either world,
CONGRATS TERRY ON YOUR YOUR 100TH POST & 3rd MILESTONE!!
GREAT MINDS REALLY DO THINK ALIKE! I guess that makes us 'Twin Poster' Children. Lol. Let's see if we can do the same for the next one.

You forgot to mention that football game tonight! Good luck with everything, I do know your surgery is on the 12th. Terry.

Oo was thinking we must have played a Texas team like Dallas Cowboys,, but checked the Vikings, they didn't play, Golden Gophers, they didn't play. What football game?

The NFL season started last night with Buffalo vs LA Rams (last year's Super Bowl Champs)...Buffalo won 31-10.

LOL, I get it now, but when I talk about Buffalo, its in MN.
Remember my poem, "Deadly Shooting at Allina Clinc?" Our little city of Buffalo doesn't even have 10, 000 people in it. And when I talk about the other hospital where I am going to, thats in the Twin Cities. Yes, I am just a old fashioned from the MN Nice State. That is me, Ya sure, you betcha! Hehe!

LOL, trying to confuse and old man!

Such a generous and loving post this is Debi. I was going to write a similar type of poem because I was too late for the second friend contest and I had many I wanted to mention but you have done such a perfect job with this, I think I will just creep away into the shadows and let the spotlight shine on the worthy ones. Smile. I really do think you've handled this perfectly and there is no way to improve on it. It has beauty, love, generosity and artistic finesse. Six stars.

True this poem has to eventually end. Not so the love we have for you, our true and loving friend. Your strength and perseverance in the face of physical challenge, serve as a lesson in courage that we all could do well to imitate. Your illness is just a bully, and we all know that bullying is something that I hate. So sickness, leave Deb alone, or I will have to come for you. Please believe me, that is not something that you should want.

Nomi, how sweet of you. Sorry about the delay on the thank you, but I have an important project I am working on. If ever there was a person that I trusted to get rid of the bully, it would be you. Knowing that I also have your prayers on Monday, means everything to me. I thank you, just as I appreciate the million other wonderful things about you and your friendship. Sunday we will shine my brother, and I can hardly wait! Thank you for this awesome review, comments and your very gracious six stars. Until Sunday!

Debi,
This is a long poem we all could write about so many writers on this site.
You did well with your word choice, rhyming and meter.
Congrats on your milestone post and for the rose.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Hi Debi,
You are most kindly welcome.
Before COVID, I was thinking it would be a good nerdy thing if we could have a Fanstory convention somewhere so we could meet all or site friends in person.
Joan
-
Lol, you may have thought it was a nerdy idea, but I have had some of the same geeky thoughts. (Big Smile)
-
Deb, Maybe do one line should bring it up with Tom, the site manager.
Joan
-
Lol, when I think of Tom, I think of Charlie from Charlie's Angels. You never see him, but you get to talk to him and he is always there when you need him. Maybe I will just write a poem about those thoughts. Hmmm. Food for thought. Then I can see what he thinks of having a Tom's fs reunion some time???

Lol. Darn it Joan. I couldn't get that last idea out of my head, so I just went and wrote a poem about it. I am not done yet, but thought I'd let you know that I should be posting it today sometime. Actually I have been thinking of doing it for a while but when you talked about a reunion, I was thinking that would be a great last line. For him to take our member cent pump money and throw us a reunion

This is beautiful and overflowing with a genuine love for a wonderful group of people and friends. I hope I am finding you well, Debi. This was a heartfelt read. I enjoyed it! I'm not getting notifications of your work. I thought I had fanned you. I'm going in to check again. Best, JohnC.

Debi,
You so beautifully expressed your emotional and spiritual attachment to people whom you have met here, and who have extended you love and kindness. It is a wonderful example of the goodness that dominates mankind.
