A Tale I'd Rather Not Be Telling
It was 1:30 A.M. and I'd been roused from my sleep by the need for a late-night snack when I heard what I first took to be thunder. One huge boom! But there was no more after that and I realized what I had heard was a car crash.

Comments (72)
If you'd like to keep up with friends made here and at bubblews, many are migrating over to mylot which began paying again this past summer.
205 articles. Not bad. If you have time and want to keep any of your articles I am told we will be given opportunity but since time is not on our side I suggest backing up your articles ASAP. Good luck with your writing and hope to see you around the web on some other writing site.
Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I finally got my speedy new desktop PC hooked up, so I can get on PP without all the lags.
Thank you, Deb, for your kind note. I had never heard that song sung by Sting ... Heard it back in the 1960s from Neil Diamond, and also Petula Clark. I first really enjoyed it when I heard Barbara Streisand sing it on a Live show back 4 years ago. But his rendition by Sting is . Hauntingly beautiful. .Tonight, I listened to the words, and understand it more at 60, then I ever did as a teen.
Hi Fiesty 56; Thanks for the follow, I am also happy to follow you too. It's great to meet you.
I am following you now. For some reason I thought I already was, but then I looked and realized I wasn't. So now I am. Hope your having a good day.
Hi! I'm reading your recent article on tomatoes and notice a sentence you might want to read aloud and edit at the beginning of the second paragraph. It's a bit like a double negative and I think you can easily fix it by changing the phrase "no trouble" to "any trouble." I make mistakes like this all the time and miss them at first when proofreading. If you ever see me write something that doesn't make sense to you, I hope you will tell me.
Everything is fine, thanks for asking. Always smiling but still busy at the moment. The odd comment is all I have time for at the moment....and boy, are my comments odd! lol
