Jake, thanks for reading and commenting on "Safe". Plus - I love your profile picture!

Jake, thanks for your comment re: "Oh, what's this?" she"
Actually, regarding the ending, I did have a discussion with my wife. She feels the male is "kidnapping" the female. Putting himself into her space without a clear invitation. I had meant this to be a technique shared by family members only if it became adopted as a new
tradition. The ending came to me as my fingers were pounding the plastic and I left it. Perhaps a new ending would be better. Your thoughts?

Thanks for your comments on, "I Ask You, Erin Burnett…is it fair?" Good advice!

Hello Jake, thanks for lovin' my latest.

Hey Jake. 'Bloody tools' all the way.
Thanks.

Jake, thanks for the note on "Old or Fat." Carl's was better.

Jake: Your comments on BY THE BEACH were the nicest kick-in-the- fatty-part-of-the-brain I've ever received. Thank you. I'll reciprocate and try to not get it on the rug.

As well you should blush! Thanks, Jake.

Jake,

Thank you for reading and liking Something About Your Mother. Means a lot to have you stop by. All the best,Lucinda

Thanks, Jake, for the comment on "Christmas in the Big Easy."

Thanks for reading "Happiness", Jake. I hope and pray that I will never have kidney stones.

Jake, thanks so much for your generous response to "Urgent Care."

Thanks for your feedback on Cruelty, Jake. I'm glad you liked it... :)

Thank you, Jake. Yeah. A day in the life...I've fallen for the company of ghosts.

Jake, thanks for your comment on DOING TIME OUTSIDE, an excerpt from my new novel written by you way back on 9/12. I haven't been on Fictionaut for a while--too busy promoting. I see you are still as prolific as ever. I'll get back to reading your work soon.

Hi Jake,
Thanks for you comment on 'Affair.' No thighs it is.

Thank you for reading "Otillie," James. Yes. Many mothers for us all. I'm going to read something of yours right now.

Hi Jake,
Thanks for checking in on Strangers on a Train.
Yeah, sometimes a nice connection that could have been, just doesn't happen...
D

Thanks for the comments on "Why?" They are appreciated.

Thanks for commenting on "Kittens and the Hands of God"!

Although, I am sorta obsessed with numbers.

Thanks for reading and commenting on "3 Bedrooms," Jake. Thanks, too, for the star. You've been so supportive of my writing.

Thanks for the positive vibes on Cornfield -- much appreciated! Will get to that discussion about the lost narrative soon... Great seeing more of your work here, too.

Hi Jake, thanks for reading and commenting on Sliding Windows, both mean lots. fos.

Thanks for your comment on "Cache." This poem came to me one day when I was taking out the garbage and I was knocked back by realizing how vulnerable I had become by loving someone.

Thank you! :-)

Thanks for taking a read of the poem Jake!

Hi Jake, I really appreciate you giving Crossties a few minutes of your time; thanks for reading and commenting. fos.

Thank you, Jake, for your comment on "Encore." I like harrowing... :)

Jake, thanks for your comment on "Strange Disconnect." I'll take nifty anytime... :)

Hi Jake. Thanks for reading and commenting on Coffee Shop. I was trying to be all William Carlos Williams but I didn't have a red wheelbarrow, so the coffee shop sufficed. Thanks for indulging my addiction.

thanks for the comment, Jake. You fished the Irati recently?

Thanks for the kind words on "Sylvia" Jake. Never did anything that short before so I wasn't sure I pulled it off.

Thanks for your comment on "What the Doormat Said". We've all had lousy jobs, I think.

Thank you for your comment on "Sof a". I had done the perspective of an exercise bike, so I figured I'd go for the opposite.

Hi Jake. Thanks for checking in at "Washing the Dishes." :)

thank you, Jake, for your comments on my poem.

Thank you!

Thank you for your comment on "Toothed and Thorny". It's part of a series I'm working on that takes the perspective of various objects.

Thanks for your kind words on "Carver", Jake. It's a surreal experience reading realism around kids/teeenagers. It makes you think, "How did I go from Raymona Quimby to this?"

Thanks, Jake, for your words of praise about Instructions. Belated thanks also for your comments and fave of Wild Horses.

Thank you for your comments on "Break". I'm really flattered that it blew you away.

Like yer pic dude

Hey, Jake -- thanks for the read and comments on THINGS THAT GO POINK! I've studied Micro & Flash writing for over a decade and honestly think it's fiction's future. As a teacher, you'll probably agree. (thnx *)

Thanks for the read and the fav on "Losing Marlene," Jake.

Thanks for letting me know how Night Moves touched you, Jake. All good.

Hi Jake. Thanks for the kind words on Berets and Fish. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and then taking more time to make a comment. fos.

Jake,
Thanks so much for reading and commenting on "Chimera". I'm so glad you liked it!

Welcome to Minnesota, land of the Dakota Sioux. The Objibwe helped with the volume on the history of that war. Where are you? Let's drink a beer, with olives in it, green, if you're up for it. Otherwise, tea or smoothie or coffee. Do you teach English? I do when I remember to do it. ~Ann

Jake,
Thanks for the comment and suggestion on "A Collection of Fragments."

Jake,
Thanks so much for the heaping praise for The Bookshelves. It was really nice to receive that... :)

Thanks for the Clonopin tip, Jake.
