Re: Discussion -- 75 Word Challenge -- May

Thanks for the review hope, just noticed it. Being new to the Chrons I have to keep on top of my susbscribed threads, while still finding time to browse through all the old discussions. I don't think I've seen so much valuable content in a single forum for a while...

Thanks for the feed back hope. Its the first time I've written in the first person POV since high school. I'm glad it worked at the creepy level

Thanks a lot! Quite a challenge doing only 75 words and getting something across.

Lots of very good new posts but 'Dad is Bad' got my attention, funny and clever. Good one Johnnyjet.

Re: Discussion -- 75 Word Challenge -- May

I haven't read anything yet. honestly, I've kept my distance from the Chrons just to let my creative mind work. I might have mine up within the week.

We shall see. With 10 pages of positive commentation, I believe I should let this stew a little while longer.

Re: Discussion -- 75 Word Challenge -- May

I'm in! However, I did veer away from the obvious … ever so slightly... I just hope it doesn't go against me too much when it comes time to vote.

All the entries have been brilliant, thus far; it's been an absolute joy to read them. Keep it up, folks!

Re: Discussion -- 75 Word Challenge -- May

No comments from me this month, and to be perfectly honest, peeps, I'm surprised I got an entry in. I've had some issues with my teeth that I'm unable to adequately deal with, pain bad enough to cause headaches. I can't really concentrate on much right now.

Karn, never feel you have to do reviews. Especially when Real Life gets in the way.

Re: Discussion -- 75 Word Challenge -- May

Ow, Karn. I'm really sorry to hear that. Toothache is horrible (HORRIBLE). I hope it sorts itself out soon.

Re: Discussion -- 75 Word Challenge -- May

Karn, toothache takes precedence over reviews, which are purely voluntary, anyway.

Scott, yours was great. I hate that feeling when you're halfway down the road - did I leave the X on? Just think of his bill when he get's back!
