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.

Thing Signature Made For tHiNg!
A YaHOO Review from tHiNg!!!

*Hand2**Balloons*



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

*Cow**Right**Hand1* You sent me some very nice reviews recently, so here I am reading and reviewing in your portfolio as I transition into an autumn tHiNG! Sophie is one of my favorite names of all time!

What does tHiNG think about while perusing your item?

I thought about how cats are very stealthy and they try to be helpful to their humans and guide them in the right direction. I have a Basset Hound and she is not usually stealthy like this. She loves cats but they are wary of her.

She likes to scold the ones she sees in the street, by howling at the window. The cats ignore her and do what they want to do, usually. They are the most independent creatures I've ever known (cats, not dogs).

*Cool**Idea*

What does tHiNG applaud about while reading your item?

I loved it all, especially this part and the instructions on feeding.


"And finally, dear friend,
If you have to misbehave, as we all must do.
do not do it in front anybody."

I think this method of teaching, when it comes to what to feed them, would be quite effective in most humans. The Vet finally had to tell us and spell it out for us and that was the day we went to green beans, apple slices and carrot slices as snacks. It made a huge difference in a dog, so I can only imagine what doing the right thing might mean to a finicky kitty.

Loved it!

On the judge thing, I don't know. Sometimes I see things and I am like "what"? Now, I try not to take it personally, but it can be a disheartening thing at times. I agree with that sentiment.

Well done with the writing of the poem and the commentary!

*Thumbsup*

P.S. I am someone who loves to read and review. That is a pretty simple statement and it is true, in the spirit of Ernest Hemingway, who once said, "Write one true thing." *Heart*

A YaHOO ReMOO from HOOves!!!

*Cow**Balloons*



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

*Cow* You sent me some very nice reviews recently, so here I am to read and review your poem. The title definitely drew me in and engaged me as a reader.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* It is the true poet, who feels called and summoned to write. It is a very insistent urge once it has begun.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my particular favorite portion:

"Immortal spirit
consumed in the blaze of matter,
the bird of poetry rises
reborn out of the flames of ego."

It is the ego that wills us to carry on and survive and learn from those experiences that we turn to poetic communication.

I thought this was succinct and brilliant. Bravo!

A YaHOO ReMOO from HOOves!!!

*Cow**Balloons*



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

*Cow* You sent me some very nice reviews recently. I would like to wish you a Happy Birthday today with another review. I was drawn to this title as I admire Poe's work very much.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* In Baltimore they pay tribute to Poe, but it was not this way when he was alive. He was scorned and shunned by jealous colleagues I am afraid. Still, now the Baltimore Ravens are named for him. Time changes attitudes and vision, doesn't it?

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part in this foreboding poem:


"What it was like before the witch cast her spell only
now her vindictive pumpkin returns each year.
Making sure that ghosts do her evil bidding and
confidant the scared raven will not interfere."

Was he under a spell that night? There are many stories and legends, but the fact remains that he was only fully appreciated after his demise.

Fine poem about a writing legend. Well done!

A YaHOO ReMOO from HOOves!!!

*Cow**Balloons*



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

*Cow* You visited me recently with some nice reviews so here I am to visit you and send a review your way.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that this poem conveys the constancy of friendship as compared with temporary things and the problems of life. We hopefully find those we can count on and who can count on us in our journeys through.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

"Unspeakable bonds,
forged through time.
The troubles have come
and gone.
Now we see
how we've grown together."

There is nothing that binds people like facing obstacles together and overcoming them. This is how you learn who your friends are as you grow up.

You did a fine job with this - nice work!

A YaHOO ReMOO from HOOves!!!

*Cow**Balloons*



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

*Cow* You visited me recently with nice reviews, so here I am to read and review in your poetry writings.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

I think that the world can look much different after a storm. Maybe we learn from things and maybe not. With humans, it is doubtful.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

It is time to light the ceremonial fires.
To call upon the eagle and the hawk
To take the prayer requests for healing of the land and nature back to the
Spirits that reside in the Universe.

We have to appreciate all that we have in order to pray for it. That is part of the key I think. This is a wonderful poem about honoring and respecting all that is powerful and part of nature in our world. Those who feel the pull toward earth all know that it is a relationship that requires a lot of mutual love and respect.

Well done!

A YaHOO ReMOO from HOOves!!!

*Cow**Balloons*



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

*Cow* I saw that you had added here and came to read and send a review. I was curious about the title.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

I think that faith in God is a good guiding point to have. Well, we never know what life will throw at us, so it is good to have something to hold on to in rocky times.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* It is brief, but it sends a good message of faith and appreciation for all the kindness you have encountered in times of trouble along the way.

A YaHOO ReMOO from HOOves!!!

*Cow**Balloons*



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

*Cow* You sent me a nice review recently for the Game of Thrones August activity. So, here I am meandering over and looking in your Game of Thrones Writing collection.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I was wondering what the prompt was that led to this fine story. It is creative and engaging and I want to see what happens next to Lisa.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

Dustin's mother is a horror, isn't she? I think that more people would hesitate to marry if they realize that they are marrying not just the beloved one, but their family also. She really seems to love Dustin. He and his mother share that history that she knows nothing about, though.

I am not sure what a gorger really is, but it doesn't sound flattering coming from Mama here.

You did a fine job - I enjoyed reading this very much! I am rooting for Lisa to prevail and make the right decision, even if that might be dumping Dustin!

Very fine storytelling!

I think it is cool that your son met him and he was a nice person in addition to being a big star. That is so cool. He has done a lot of good movies over the years. I hope that his personal life is under control now and things are good for him.

He has a lot of talent and does a good job in selecting memorable roles in movies. Good entry, Megan! *Heart*

*Cow* You visited me recently with a nice review, so here I am to visit you and return the review. I hope that you are feeling much better now!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

The thing that you convey to me is that we are owned by our pets, particularly with cats. They pick us, not the other way around. I think there is a lot of truth to this and with respect to dogs, also. Although I do believe cats may come from a wiser place than humans or dogs.

I still believe my basset hound pup chose us all those years ago.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I was interested in the various relationships that developed over the years. Jay seemed like a particularly wise soul. You never know who will relate to who in the animal world. Resting in the hen house sounds like like he could get along with anyone, dog or poultry types.

Crossing the rainbow bridge is a nice way to think of the end of things here. But, sooner or later, we all end up moving on over that bridge, don't we?

I enjoyed reading this and was glad that it wasn't political. That is always a good thing these days - to not get into politics.

Well done!

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

*Cow* You visited me recently, so here I am to visit and review your article about the murders of the Jewish population of Jedwabne, Poland. The title engaged my attention as I am very interested in all that went on during the 1930's and 40's in the world.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

I think the horror of what happened is something that most people try and avoid. We should all learn from it, as we do with history. But people want to push all of history aside because it is awful to think of human beings in the 20th century doing such a thing.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I think it is easy to blame one segment of the population when there is a downturn or economic hardships. If only "x" group wasn't doing "x" everything would be right with the world. The German government made a foolish deal to end WWI and then they wanted to find a way to go back on everything. So, everything was the Jewish population's fault until they didn't exist anymore. Then, it was time to look at the Hitler and the gang of thugs.

It is to their eternal shame that a whole population (or enough to make it happen anyway) in Germany and in Poland went along with all this.

My family is partly Jewish now through marriage so I feel a connection with my grandsons being Jewish, and I feel horror whenever I hear about antisemitism in the world. But, when a big group of bullies picks on a little segment of the population it is always very bad news.

This was a thought provoking article. I think a lot of people went along to avoid problems for themselves. That is sort of human nature, but it is sort of sickening, too. History is the final word and they are a horror onto themselves in those two countries. There is a reason behind the holocaust museum for anyone astute enough to want to learn about history and crimes of the past.

Very well written!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

You had me getting more and more nervous and for good reason. I will not reveal the ending in the remoo. I was thinking to myself, well that is what spiders do. It's the way of the world and then I'm like whoa. What's next on the menu? Beef? *Cow**Balloons*

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* I like how you slowly build to the horrible surprise at the end. When you think about it, this sort of thing isn't ever fun for the prey. I like the way you could use the spider as a metaphor for politicians these days, too. I'm not sure that was intended, but I sort of read it into the mix.

We bring our own thoughts and experiences to the reading of the writing. This gave me the shivers in the barn on an August morning! Well done!

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

*Cow* You visited me recently with a nice review, so here I am to visit and review in your portfolio. Thanks for visiting me as part of the game of thrones activity. I figured I would read in your writing folder for the game.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

You have written a wonderful poem about life and how the journey is all the more vivid and sweet when in the company of a beloved soul-mate or friend.

To have someone to rely on and lean on makes everything brighter and easier.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part:

"Cause it's been too long
since I've seen you
and I 'm amazed I made it this far.
But with you at my side
I know we can make
through this journey called life."

This reminded me of how blessed and lucky I am to have found that person so many years ago. He's still here, thank God!

Lovely poem about a wonderful and inspiring relationship! I'm not sure what the prompt was, but I don't really think that matters a whole lot. It's wonderful on its own!

*Cow* You sent me some very nice reviews recently for Game of Thrones, so here I am reading your writing for the game.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

The dialogue back and forth seems very natural and it fits the actors and the characters, as far as I know them, which is halfway through Season 6.

I am not familiar with who Bronn is, but I don't think that matters. I could picture all the others on the set, saying these things to each other and trying to get the action to move forward.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

You do a great job with Emilia Clarke as I know her and the others, also. I can picture her fussing about what Daernys might and might not say. She has played her for a good long while now. The easy banter among the actors, as opposed to the heavy drama they act in, is a contrast that you make brilliantly.

Loved the banter and how the candy bars saved the day!

I enjoyed reading your story very much! Well done! I look forward to catching up when the new DVD is released as I do not have cable Tv!

*Cow* You sent me some nice reviews this month, so here I am to visit you and read in your Game of Thrones Writings! Sorry I am so slow in doing this, but I was thrilled with all the nice reviews I received! I am a bit overwhelmed in the heat, I guess.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

You did a fine job with the basic prompts. You explore the relationship between two people who choose to be together normally, but are suddenly, by circumstances, forced into a togetherness they had not anticipated.

Being stranded on a deserted island is about as close quarters as you can get, as the characters struggle to survive and cope with their changed situation.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I like how you reveal the thoughts of Shelle through what she says at the end. We know how the narrator feels and the things that irritate her, but the annoyance that Shelle feels comes through in that final comment, which is quite illuminating. Her positive, upbeat demeanor takes a beating, to be sure.

The way you reveal the characters through their words and thoughts is particularly astute and entertaining.

I enjoyed reading this response to one of the game's prompts very much!

Well done!

*Cow* I am the judge for today in "The Writer's Cramp" Open in new Window.. Thanks for entering!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that this event did bring people together. In my own area, there was a gathering at a big park and people were sharing the glasses because there weren't enough to go around.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part of your poem:

"Why?
Why does something so simple have such an affect?
Something so grand, something so magnificent,
allows people to come out of their shells and just be."

For a lot of people, this was a stretch of time (albeit short) when they did not have their noses in their cell phones as all the action was in the sky. It was over before it began really, the actual event lasting only a couple of minutes. It was a community happening that transcended all the normal whining of the day.

That made it a nice break and I think you have captured some of that in your fine poem. It brought forth the humanity that has been sorely missing for quite a long while.

Well done!

I am not an expert on poetry or prose or much else. I am certainly not an editor or proof reader, heaven forbid! I am merely a reader who loves to read and the judge for today in "The Writer's Cramp" Open in new Window.. I look at a review as my personal and unique reaction to what I have read and a sharing of what I bring to the table on any given day. Sometimes I don't bring much, but I enjoy my reading adventures either way.

This site is open to all sorts of writers and reviewers. I like to keep an open mind about reading and reviewing. My own personal preference for reviews is that they be concise and more about the writing than the knowledge (or lack thereof) of the reader.

My goal is to encourage you to continue your writing adventures. You are the ultimate judge as to whether I have been successful in that endeavor.

Either way, I enjoyed my visit with you immensely.

What brought hooves meandering over to your port?

*Cow* I saw that you had added here to your Blog City Journal and came to read and send a review. This title caught my attention.

What Does hooves think about while perusing your item?

That is a lot of interesting stuff you have learned. That poker playing guy sounds like Maverick. It is cool to find out you're related to the Bush family. I wonder how they all spread out like they did.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I learned about some of mine long after my Dad died. I learned that his great grandfather was from Scotland and fought in the Civil War on the Union side and he lost a leg. He as in all the parades that they had in subsequent years and lived to be very old - in his 90's I think. My Dad actually knew this guy because he died in the 1930's when my Dad was a little guy. I never knew about him except from my Uncle, who is now 90. Well, four of my dad's nine siblings have made it to 90 so far. My Dad wasn't as lucky there.

My mother's family is supposedly related to Herbert Hoover and Benjamin Harrison and William Henry Harrison. A family member believes we are cousins to that Pawn Stars guy, Rick Harrison, but I've never seen proof of it. I think that part might be wishful thinking. My family had a lot of land in Iowa from my grandparents and from my great aunt who had no children. She played the stockmarket and did well with Kodak stock and with buying a lot of land and houses in Iowa. Smart woman, smarter than most of the men.

Great entry, Megan!

*Cow* I am the judge for today in "The Writer's Cramp" Open in new Window.. Thanks for entering!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that sometimes we build things up in our mind. I like the way you make the closet sound very ominous without actually telling the reader what is in there. It does sound menacing and like something that would never be forgotten.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

The librarian sounds like the last person who should be around children. Unfortunately sometimes, this is exactly the sort that gravitates towards these sorts of professions. I have lived enough to know that all school personnel do not love kids.

Fine story and you made good use of the prompt words! Very original!

I am not an expert on poetry or prose or much else. I am certainly not an editor or proof reader, heaven forbid! I am merely a reader who loves to read and the judge for today in "The Writer's Cramp" Open in new Window.. I look at a review as my personal and unique reaction to what I have read and a sharing of what I bring to the table on any given day. Sometimes I don't bring much, but I enjoy my reading adventures either way.

This site is open to all sorts of writers and reviewers. I like to keep an open mind about reading and reviewing. My own personal preference for reviews is that they be concise and more about the writing than the knowledge (or lack thereof) of the reader.

My goal is to encourage you to continue your writing adventures. You are the ultimate judge as to whether I have been successful in that endeavor.

Either way, I enjoyed my visit with you immensely.

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

*Cow* I am visiting you today as you visited me recently with some very nice reviews that I appreciate and enjoyed reading very much!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* We are coming up on another sad anniversary. So many things would not have happened if not for what happened on that day. Many of us have losses that can be traced back to the reaction to that tragedy.

On this site, Bandit's Mama Author Icon perished in one of the towers. She was a moderator at the time of her death and an early member when the site was called Stories.Com. If you look in her portfolio (I usually do it on 9/11) you will see that she had some things in there that are almost like premonitions of what was to come. I think she sensed that the end was near and was preparing for it in her way. She was a writer who loved saving cats and no threat to anyone. Just someone who worked hard, enjoyed writing and was going about her daily routine when the unthinkable happened.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

This was my favorite part as it resonated strongly with me:

"Keep me strong,
Take me home;
as his life fades,
under the stone."

The lives faded, but the lights of their spirits did not.

Very brilliant and eloquent - a very fitting tribute to some of the tragedy that went on that day. Those of us who remember well, will never forget that day and its aftermath.

Well done!

*Cow* You sent me some nice reviews recently as part of the game that is going on this month. I am doing my best to visit and review all those who have visited me. I am sorry that I am very slow in doing this, but here I am to read your poignant letter to your special and much-cherished veteran.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

I am very sorry for your loss. I know that nothing I can say will help much, but he must have been very unique and special to have earned such a loving tribute from you. It takes a special person to wear the uniform and serve for so long with distinction and courage.

The fact that he is remembered with such devotion and love speaks volumes about his character.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

Time goes on and the world moves on I think, but when someone is truly loved the feelings and memories are timeless.

It is humbling to think of the sacrifice and dedication to duty.

Again, I am very sorry for your devastating loss, but it is heartwarming to know that he was loved and appreciated in a way that transcends death and the way we measure time.

*Cow* I saw that you had added here, so I came to read and send a review.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

Starting the day early makes sense to me. He was a smart guy and I think that is a good policy.

*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

When you have a dog (like Miss Boo) you don't have much choice. She gets up and stretches and makes her presence known. If one of us doesn't come downstairs and see to things as soon as she wants, then she takes other measures and might even bark. She rarely barks unless she is in play mode. If a stranger comes in the neighborhood she barks and she used to scold the cat across the street when he would venture out of his yard because she was worried that he would go in the street.

I don't think that people with dogs can really sleep in much. Maybe he had some pups.

Great entry, as always!

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

You emailed me and requested a review. I was happy to find some reading time this evening.
*Cow*

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

I like how you start with your protagonist, Kyle, embarking on his new life. The story is told mostly in flashback. The first person point of view is an effective technique for telling your story.

Kyle has had a rough go of it, worrying about his father. It seems that he is about due for some happy times when Josh and company do their best to put an end to his dreams, and even his life.


*Cool**Idea*

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

As a reader I was rooting for Kyle to get the girl and maybe a little revenge. It seemed like this might be in the offing as the action begins and then picks up at the end.

Science fiction is not my favorite genre, but you had me interested and cheering for Kyle to emerge victorious.

I would recommend shorter chapters as I prefer that. Other people might not agree, but that is my personal preference. I enjoyed reading and thanks for the invitation to do so.

A YaHOO ReMOO from HOOves!!!

*Cow**Balloons*


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

*Cow* I am reading in your nice Blog City Journal and sending reviews.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* That gift basket sounds lovely. I go to Bath and Body Works a lot. Well, they have nice stuff and that Cherry Blossom Fragrance is their best seller, ever. The clerk told me that when I bought it. I like their peach and lemon fragrances, also.

They used to have glycerin soap, but they don't carry that anymore. It's a shame because I really liked their soaps.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

Well, you cannot go wrong with a Barnes and Noble Gift Card. I give them to my niece and her husband for their birthdays and also, usually, to my friend Rich, who used to have a port here. Rich said he thinks a lot of Barnes and Nobles will be closing. I hope he is not right about the one near me. It is close to Bath and Body in the shopping center in my town. Either one would make this place a lot more boring to live in if they go.

I think Barnes and Nobel should sell a special book gift bag. They have those big ones (the green and other color ones with things written on them) but if they had a smaller bag, I would buy it for presents when I give people books.

They have better stores up in Maryland, but I do have my favorites here. I don't know if I told you, but the used book store in my city changed owners so now it is more of a ripoff. That seems to be the case with everything when things change.

Thanks for posting about your gift bag. It has given me some ideas for the holiday time gifts.

A YaHOO ReMOO from HOOves!!!

*Cow**Balloons*


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

*Cow* I saw that you had added to your Blog City Journal and came to read and send a review as I am a fan of your blog.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I thought about living through and surviving difficult times. After each one, we think that we are stronger. Well, we may be, but I am not that sure about that anymore. Ernest Hemingway said something about life breaking us and then we are stronger at the broken places. But they are still broken, I reckon, just mended.

That quote is Taylor Swift's interpretation of another quote by Vivian Greene. Clever Taylor took it, changed it up a bit and made it her own, I guess.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

*Thumbsup* That quote makes me appreciate rain a little bit more for what it brings. Sometimes, I let rainy days get me down, but hard ones have been sunny also. Well, we roll with the punches life throws at us, I guess.

Fine entry, Megan! *Heart*

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

*Cow* You visited me recently for The Game of Thrones with a very nice review, so here I am reading and reviewing. I like this nice folder you have for your new poems and stories.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* Is Bosco a larger alpaca? I wasn't sure if he was the same, only bigger. His description made me think, at first, that he might be a giraffe. I really felt for him being in a new place and feeling like he was frightened, but wanted to establish himself. That is a hard thing when a big group does not accept someone new.

What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item?

I like how Boris the Bull provided the wisdom of the ages for those in the pasture. A group is always better together, but it takes working well with individuals to have a good group. It seems that there are many welcoming hearts there to welcome Bosco.

This is a very nice story for children of all ages. Well done.
