    Gone – Apr 09, 2013

    Thanks for the comment, Lynn. You are right. It does need tightening up. I may expand on it at some point and have begun a second part which may or may not get completed.

    Keith U. – Nov 20, 2012

    Hello, Ms. Lynn. Thank you so much for reading my eBay silliness. And for the fav, if you fav'ed it. I've lost track of newfangled computer things.

    M – Mar 28, 2011

    Hi Lynn. Thank you for your comment on what I wanted in 1968. I've taken a bit of a break so this is overdue, but I wanted to let you know of my appreciation. Take care.

    Frankie Saxx – Mar 25, 2011

    Hi Lynn!

    I am okay, I was really mortified for a few minutes, wailed to Marcus about how I had totally destroyed your wonderful place and how sorry I was, got laughed at. (The word "diva" may have been bandied about in reference to my histrionics. I choose not to recall.)

    Been enjoying your work. Got quite a kick out of Cunning Literalist. (As I write this comment, I see it's got 69 views. Appropriate.

    -F.

    Frankie Saxx – Mar 25, 2011

    Hi Lynn, god I am so sorry. I had no idea I was doing so much wrong. I did not mean to be rude, not at all. Thanks so much for your comments on Picking Up Physicists and Momma's Dogs. :)

    -F.

    Frank Vander Rasky – Mar 25, 2011

    James Lloyd Davis – Mar 25, 2011

    Lynn, thanks for the fave and the comment on "She said." I thrive on that kind of support.

    Mary Alston Capps – Mar 11, 2011

    Lynn, I just *now* got your welcome message on my wall (and by "got", I meant comprehended, not received). Oy. I'm hopeless.

    Robert Vaughan – Mar 09, 2011

    Thanks for your lovely comments and fav of "Avoidance." I really appreciate it!

    Gary Moshimer – Mar 09, 2011

    You are very kind. Thank you for reading and commenting on "Still Life."

    Jules Archer – Mar 08, 2011

    Lynn - Appreciate the feedback on "Health Code". Happy to have you read.

    Mary Lane – Mar 07, 2011

    I know you said I didn't have to write on your wall, but it isn't hard to be nice and I like being nice to you. Breasts aren't all bad. I'd like to think they get me out of speeding tickets.

    Brian Mihok – Mar 07, 2011

    Hey, Lynn, thanks for the comment on Zorro!

    Catherine Davis – Feb 27, 2011

    Lynn, happy to see your read on my 19__! Thank you. And you're right - it was only surgery because the surgeon who happened to be on hand performed it, and I would guess that the mother's tweezers were the perfect implement.

    Keith U. – Feb 27, 2011

    Thank you, Lynn - thank you very much!

    stephen hastings-king – Feb 25, 2011

    hello lynn...thanks for the read and comment on a story. i thought i'd pass along my favorite palindrome: In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni. it means something like we turn circles in the night consumed by a fire....

    Mary Lane – Feb 04, 2011

    Hey! It's me! From twitter!

    Erin Zulkoski – Dec 16, 2010

    I wrote on your wall with crayon.

    Larry Strattner – Dec 13, 2010

    Thanks for the encouragment on Snapshots. Your use of the word 'appreciate' makes me think you've been there. Cheers, LarryS

    Kait Mauro – Dec 06, 2010

    How did you get into writing for the "For Dummies" series?

    Erin Zulkoski – Dec 02, 2010

    P.S. Thanks for faving "Rebuttal."
    Admit it--the only reason you did so was because there's a butt in rebuttal.

    Erin Zulkoski – Dec 02, 2010

    "Typing," not "yping." I don't know what "yping" is.

    Erin Zulkoski – Dec 02, 2010

    Lynn, Lynn, Lynn, Lynn. Your name starts to look wrong after yping your name several times in a row.
    I am going to read more of your stories and sit here quietly until you post more. Go on, pretend I'm not here.

    Bill Yarrow – Nov 23, 2010

    Hard for me to believe your work is met by silence. But glad to be one of the voices in answer to it!

    Fred Osuna – Nov 16, 2010

    Thanks, Lynn, for reading and faving "We Put a Smile Back on Your Face." I'm looking forward to reading your stories.

    Keith U. – Nov 12, 2010

    Thank you, Lynn, for 'fav-ing' thirty seconds. You flatter me, and I thank you. Duggar is nothing less than brilliant. I wish I had written it. :-)

    Julie Innis – Nov 11, 2010

    Thanks Lynn for your thoughts on Fly - much appreciated.

    Keith U. – Nov 08, 2010
