    Okay, theDARK1, make us work, why don't you. I like the idea, and I am up for the challenge. I have some homework to do I guess. It may take a couple of days so I'd better get started, huh. Sounds like fun. I'll tell my girl madamcb to come here and check it out too. Let me get those creative brain cells working. See ya in a bit!

    This definitely sounds interesting. I do my best writing under pressure and given a subject to write about so I will have to get busy so I can meet the the other requirements. Looks like you may have more enteries then you thought so you don't get out of judging that easily!

    Ouch. I was hoping that it would be just the slightest bit simpler. Anyway, I don't think I can come up with something to fit the rules, but if I do come up with something, I'll be sure to enter. Good luck with judging it!

    Many blessings to you,

    *smirks wrly at the creeping blush upon theDARK1's face.* much luck I wish upon you in your judging. *a seductive look lingers in her eyes..is it her shadowy being or she attracted to this mysteriously dark fellow..* Ahh 269 comments..you are ahead of me..being fairly older it seems only logical..yet older men do tend to tickle my fancy *gives a suggestive wink then cloaks herself amongst the shadows once again..*
