neat oh, I was just looking in for a brief moment and seeing what the different buttons on the side mean and so here's me checking out the set up of your page. I like it. I know I already commented on your page already but it wasn't as great as this comment, so yeah I came back. I hope you don't mind!
Awesome poetry in here and I believe you have inspired me for another write thanks!

Nice idea
Quite an intriguing contest idea. I will have to spend soemtime thinking of something to write for this one. I am sure there is someone I could say a few kind things about.

This sounds like a nice contest. Although there have been many asking the same thing, this one just seems a little more special. I have the perfect friend to write something about. Hugs, Patricia

This is a wonderful idea for a contest. I like it a lot. I hope I can come up with something for it but if I don't I'm sorry. It really is a wonderful contest and a beautiful idea.

This is a great idea! You're going to have a TON of entries... there IS someone on this site who's the best friend anyone could ask for, but I'm just not inspired right now. Maybe later.
Good luck to all who enter and have fun judging!
