Said with a straight face: "This is a fun contest. I am going to enter."
-
-
You did it!
You changed your name!!
-
-
Yes, but popular revolt is pressuring me to bring back Yem, lol
I thought maybe a new name for a new year, a new start. Ah well, I am Yem, will dig out the old suit and put it back on when AP allows me to again. Not sure I can do it now, or in two weeks. I'll see. -
-
Thank You.
-
-
-
You haven't put a NON entry in yet Yem! Where is it?
-
-
Sorry, just no humor in my brain lately. I'll see what I can write today.
-
-
-
Wow Yem, there's heaps of choices to choose from. Will have to get my thinking cap on.
-
Well, we sure can't complain about the options... some really good ones, Yem. But you need to put your name as collaborator on the contest
Happy New Year

Oh, I forgot, I just got a notice for an entry so someone must have fixed it for me.

Dear Yem,
I'm confused by so many options. Decisions, decisions, decisions!
Can I write about BOOBS? (My favourite subject).
A shocking start to 2009....well done!
Hugh (R.) -
-
I forgot a boob option! Well you know that one about writing me a love poem for the lady? Just mention her boobs!
-
-
Whoot, tremendous options! My muse has found a pleasant island in the south Pacific, letters take three weeks to go back and forth... Good luck to all entrants!
-
So many good choices..I'm going to have a hard time deciding which option to choose. Making up my mind will probably take the most time. Maybe I'll throw all the options in a hat and pick one..let fate make the decision for me.
Maureen -
I'm thinking which option to take
-
Oh man! Thanks for the gold and votes everyone
-
A big THANK YOU to you Yem for running a great contest, even though you were going through a difficult time you did very well.
Love angelica
HOH -
Thank you for the bronze trophy and congratulations to Gaze and Catz
