In my view, the primary focus should be on encouraging the writers to write. I do not review items I don't enjoy anymore because I see it as a waste of my time. So, if you get a review from me, I enjoyed reading your work. The amazing thing about this whole process is that reading an inspiring review usually leads to me reading more of a reviewer's work also. So, it's a win-win.
I'm good at...
encouraging others to write because I love to read.
I will not review...
something I do not like. I do not enjoy writing hyper-critical reviews. I do NOT believe that "honesty" is a synonym for "mean." If I see someone being "mean" here on the public reviewing page, in group behaviors, or just acting as a bully I will not send them my reviews. The only exception to that would be judging a site contest - there all items get honest (and hopefully diplomatic) reviews of the work from me with no exceptions.

Oh my goodness, he's gorgeous!

How do you resist those eyes?

You probably can't resist them - he's just so cute!

How much does he weigh? And I bet those ears are soft!!

What a sweet boy - you must be having a wonderful time with him!! Is that an outside enclosure? We had to make a fence within a fence way back when for our pup!

Enjoy yourselves!!! *Heartv**Heartb*

and it is my pleasure to read your entry.

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

I find your writing to be consistent with what I remember and know about Jane Austen and her characters. I think you have brilliantly created the history of a family, bringing forth what is truly meaningful and important when life choices are made.

Harry and Elizabeth Dashwood are the admirable characters, who made the right decisions, despite family pressures and influences of the day.

*Cool**Idea*

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

Mothers seem to be difficult challenges throughout Jane Austen's work. I think you have done an amazing job with weaving in what is important in life's journey.

Well done!

. It is my pleasure to ready your entry in honor of Jane Austen's Birthday!

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

I think the guidance that Lady Susan gives Emma is generous and helpful as the relationship with Daniel unfolds.

It is definitely consistent with the style and the format of Jane Austen as she wrote in a very different time when customs were quite removed from what exists today.

*Cool**Idea*

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I particularly enjoyed the reference to the Bingleys and the moral support given to Emma in this correspondence. Jane Austen is so brilliant, isn't she? I can picture her writing this very readily.

I enjoyed reading the letters from another time, using imagination of today.

Well done!

Thank you for your delightful entry!

*Ghost*

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

I especially like how you are true to the original Pride and Prejudice characters, making reference to their familiar traits throughout the story.

*Cool**Idea*

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

The thing about Darcy and Elizabeth that you capture so well is that each takes so much joy in the other's happiness. Such generous hearts struggle through to find a great love as their reward.

I think it is a gift to really be able to see that what makes Darcy happy is making Elizabeth happy. Takes a kind heart to recognize another one, I reckon.

The references to Mrs. Bennett and Kitty made me smile. I always picture Colin Firth as Darcy, so this was a welcome extension of his wonderful characterization.

I enjoyed reading your story very much and my imagination was definitely engaged!

Well done!

Thank you for your thoughtful entry!

What Does THiNG think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea*I think you are right in your assertion that Jane Austen is a huge influence on modern works, as well as those more close to her in time.

Her characters are memorable and timeless and her plot twists are original and inspiring.

What does THiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I, too, would focus on Sense and Sensibility, along with Pride and Prejudice. I can see a lot of plot twists of the modern era are there to be found in Jane's writing.

I appreciate your thoughtful analysis and appreciation for her work and the genius of her life. I hope you continue to enjoy your reading and writing adventures, using inspiration from such an inspiring figure in history.

This is a nice thing about autumn.

One good thing. Downton Abbey, The Grand Finale movie is now available for purchase on amazon today. Purchase or rent. It was $26 something with tax. I bought it so I can watch it later.

Have been checking every day for a while since it came out in September.

The other good thing is those hurricanes are headed out to sea. I hope we don't get any hurricanes this year. It might mean less rain totals, but last year was way too much.

Fingers crossed!

What brought tHiNg to glide in a space time continuum over to your port?

You have invited me to a wonderful new campfire on my account birthday! It looks amazing!! Thank you for the invitation.

*Cow*

What does tHiNG think about while perusing your item?

I thought about the change of seasons. It still feels like summer, but I see signs everywhere of autumn. This will take us into the winter and maybe life will get better for both of us.

*Cool**Idea*

What does tHiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I applaud that you are graciously hosting another campfire. I look forward to writing in these each and every day. I don't always have a lot to say, but I enjoy sharing things that go on. It helps me not to feel as alone as I sometimes do now.

I think this will be another great adventure and I will do my best to be a positive contributor as we forge ahead!

Excellent entry!

This is so fascinating that Boston has all this historical interest. I have been through there, but never spent much time there exploring. It was always on the way to other places that I passed through there.

I have always wanted to visit the JFK Library at Harvard since I found out that Ernest Hemingway's wife donated a lot of things to the college in Ernest's memory. But I will never get a chance to travel like that without my better half. It's fun to think of how interesting it would be.

I would love to go to Fenway Park, though.

Thanks for taking me along on your virtual trip - it's fun to dream still!!

Another great entry! This makes me homesick for my home state! *Crab*

I miss the great seafood and I miss all the museums in DC, nearby. I grew up in Montgomery County, but my better half and I went to Ocean City a few times. I loved how all the crows and ravens are Edgar to you. That made me smile.

Love those ponies, too.

I love Poe and how Baltimore honors him.

F Scott Fitzgerald is buried in Rockville, Maryland. Maryland has a lot of literary lights.

Great to travel with you!

A Beautiful New Signature for HOOves

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

I saw this as a new addition to your portfolio, so I am here to read and send a review for your first entry into the activity. What does BCOF stand for?

*Thumbsupgreen*

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

You make it seem like I (the reader who has never been there) am with you in th exploration of such an interesting place.

*Cool**Idea*

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

Have you been there before? I think you did a wonderful job of describing and making it interesting. It sounds like you could give an interesting tour of the place. My niece lives near Nasa in Houston. Mr. HOOves was raised in Houston.

But the last time we went there was 1996, way before my niece lived there. She gets a lot of hurricane type weather, but I think she likes it. She goes to comic con stuff but I'm not sure they do much to check out NASA even though they are very close to it.

This sounds like an activity that you will enjoy. I will enjoy reading your entries!

Very cool!!

*Thumbsupgreen*

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

This poem captures the feeling of loss and grief very well. How can we say goodbye when we don't know when.

Personally, I always worry about the wrong thing when it comes to impending doom.

*Cool**Idea*

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

The part that sticks with me is "racing to our destination." Life is all about hurrying to the next thing. It makes you wonder what we really are racing to when we have everything life promises. It always seems like there is something more over the horizon. Well, there is, but it isn't necessarily better.

Unfortunately, regret is a constant reminder of what is lost.

I thought this was a very powerful poem and the imagery and the feelings conveyed are very familiar and powerful. Well done.

*CakeB* HAPPY 24th WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary ReviewsOpen in new Window.*CakeP*


What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

It is your account anniversary so here I am with a review as we move into July!

*Thumbsupgreen*

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

July fills me with anxiety, too. It doesn't make that much sense since all the worst storms here have been after August. But it's the idea that we label July as the start of a scary time.

But with the weather panic that passes for forecasting these days, it's hard to imagine a season that doesn't have scary elements to it.

*Cool**Idea*

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I like the idea of live in the now and don't get tied up with anxiety. Let it Be plays in my mind.

I don't know about you, but in my life I have found (from experience) that I always worry about and prepare for the wrong thing.

But then I think well, if I am prepared maybe it means nothing will happen bad. But that doesn't make any sense when I stop and ponder. Did my worrying and preparing make all these things not happen? Food for thought.

June is a hot month going out the door. I think the thing about July for me is I notice that the daylight time is less. It makes it seem more ominous. Maybe if I lived in Australia where it's winter, it would be better.

I ended up where I was meant to end up I think. But we get hurricanes too, even far inland ones as last year proved.

So, we do our best to carry on and do the right thing, never knowing what will work.

I guess that is where faith comes in. Very thoughtful entry in your Blog!

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

I saw it was your first account anniversary so here I am to read and send my thoughts for your very engaging story.

*Thumbsupgreen*

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

All my sympathies are with the ravens in this. May certainly had her plate full with Stritter as her bad neighbor.

We really appreciate it when we have good neighbors and this is why. Things can escalate to a fever pitch of hostilities into unspeakable violence.

I thought this was well written and once I started reading, I was eager to see where your writing led me. Very well told!

*Cool**Idea*

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I was totally on board with the ravens and May's support of them. I cannot fault her for being self serving. She went out of her way to be kind when most humans wouldn't bother.

Hiring May was a stroke of genius for the raven community. Stritter was a menace to one and all.

I enjoyed this reading adventure very much and found the ending to be very satisfying.

I wouldn't change a thing if I were you.

A Beautiful New Signature for HOOves

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

I saw this had been updated and I don't think I saw it before. I didn't send a review until now. Great idea - having Santa write to Jane Austen.

*Thumbsupgreen*

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I feel very sorry for her short life. However, I feel like somehow she knows how much regular people love her work and what longevity it has had.

F. Scott Fitzgerald died of a sudden heart attack in his early 40s. At the time he died, he felt like a failure. Surely, someone he knows how people admire his work now.

Same with Jane Austen. I cannot imagine her wonderful stories fading away, either. She was a great storyteller.

*Cool**Idea*

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I appreciate her so much. And just think about Colin Firth. Without Jane Austen, he would have been just another British actor.

Everyone knows him because of her and that's pretty amazing, too.

I like this because, through Santa's letter we learn how her brother helped her. I'm not sure I knew that. Some brothers would take credit for their sister's work so he sounds pretty special, too.

I think she is by far the most loved and revered female writer, even now so long after she is gone. What a wonderful collection of work she gave the world.

I have to believe she knows. Somehow, she knows. *Heart* I enjoyed learning and reading about her here!

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

You said you had finished The Beatles Challenge so I came to read your entry, which ties in with the news of the day.

*Thumbsupgreen*

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I thought about the contradictory messages in the song, Imagine. John Lennon didn't have answers, only questions.

He dreamed about what could be, but didn't know how to get there.

*Cool**Idea*

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I think that, as you point out, the song has great meaning in Today's world as well as the time when it was written. In that way it is timeless. None of us knows the real answers but as long as we live there will be times of wars and times of peace. As we grow and age, we realize that it is good to cherish the peaceful times.

I enjoyed reading and reviewing this thoughtful entry about "Imagine!"

Wow, that was such a volatile time, but this is timeless. I liked the way you incorporated the song titles with what the characters tried to do. It sounds like after all this, they don't have any regrets and it seems like that's pretty important.

I enjoyed going back in time and reading your wonderful story! You did a great job with using the songs and their meanings!

I saw that you had added to your Beatles music journal, so here I am to read and review.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I think that combining these songs was brilliant. They are all perfect choices to convey change and living with and coping with loss.

I could certainly identify with that!

*Cool**Idea*

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I was struck by Getting Back to Yesterday. I wonder if everyone wishes for that sooner or later. I thought things were difficult before, but I had no idea what was waiting for me.

We learn to cope and carry on. Those of us left behind to cope with the change. That's what we do. Some days are happier than others and I appreciate those very much.

Great song combination! You did a super job with this!

We were all scared about the people we knew who were in Vietnam. My brother went. Tom was there twice, but I didn't know him until way after the War was over, in the 80s.

The music meant so much then, didn't it? It's like I think of those times and it is always set to the music of the Beatles and others. Long after that, Tom met a Canadian guy from the Guess Who, who co-wrote American Woman.

That music all goes with what was happening and it was scary and dramatic. This was very reminiscent of the times we grew up in.

I enjoyed reading it and seeing how you referenced the music and the happenings all around.

Well done!

A Beautiful New Signature for HOOves

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

I saw that you had added a new item to your portfolio for the Beatles Activity so here I am to read and send a review.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

This is about the couple who are united by love and open minded about trying new things in music experience. Since love of music is a shared passion, they make the move to open things up to what they both like.

I think it says a lot about their love for each other and willingness to change.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I think that this relates very well back to the song. You have done fine work creating likable characters. As a reader, I wanted it to work out for them.

The lyrics are very compatible with what is going on in the relationship.

I wish all people were as open to each other as this. Being open minded was how I found my way to a love of Irish music that will stay with me always. Just as my love for Beatles music has pretty much defined my life so far.

I enjoyed reading this very much! Wonderful work!

What brought HOOves meandering in a space time continuum over to your port?

I saw you had updated your Journal of Faith so here I am to read and send my thoughts in a review.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I find that some days, I read just the right message in a psalm. Sometimes, I don't understand, but other times I do understand and I feel comforted with reading God's message to me.

I have a book of Devotions that goes by date. Some days that seems to reach out to me in my grief and sadness, too. I wonder if it will ever get better sometimes. This gives me hope to think that God knows and wants me to get better.

*Cool**Idea*

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

Trust is the most difficult thing. But when I trust in God, I seem to find my way. It doesn't always mesh with what I thought would happen, but things have a way of sorting out. After time passes, I usually see the point.

Later on today when I read the psalm in my Bible (I think I am on 81 now) I will go back and read #27. In this way I feel God might be reaching out to me through your Faith journal posting.

We believe and find strength in that belief and faith.

It's what happens when we hold on.

Very inspirational! *Heart*

I saw you had updated your Journal With Everything so here I am to read and send a review. Next anniversary will be your 24th. Wow, we are coming up close to moving toward twenty-five years here. Where has all that time gone.

What does HOOves think about while perusing your item?

I thought about how when we used to live in Maryland, I would go to the cemetery to feel better. I would visit my parents and talk to them and pat the marker once it was there for both of them. They are buried on a steep hill. Last time I tried to go there with my brother, I couldn't walk to the grave because of the steep incline so I do it from the top of the hill looking down and say those prayers.

I found it to be very comforting to let them know things, but I have them in my prayers always so hopefully that matters.

What does HOOves moo appreciatively about while reading your item?

I find peace thinking of this even though I am physically unable to do it now. Yesterday my niece took a picture of Tom's flag at Arlington and sent it to my brother and he showed me. It made me cry, but it also made me have peace in remembering and knowing that Tom is remembered every day, as your parents are, by all who loved him.

I think we cherish that peace when we find it. I know I do.

Very heartfelt and moving. I read Devotions now, too. Everything helps when it comes to faith and prayers.
