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.

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. Plus you visited me recently with a nice review of my poem about my Mom.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I remember having the Barbie's. My nieces ended up with them, I gave them all away. Once my brother talked me into giving all my dolls haircuts, including the Barbies. What a disaster that was.

For commercial's for toys, I remember the Barbie Dream House and car, but not the actual doll being advertised on TV. I probably just don't remember it. The very first toy I can remember is the game, Mystery Date. I remember the song and the whole thing very vividly. That was a fun game to play then.

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

*Thumbsup* It is neat that you still have your Barbies. I gave my youngest niece's daughter a bunch of Barbies for every Christmas and birthday. She is 11 years old today. Now I am giving her art stuff. I didn't even check to see if she might still want the Barbies. Well, I will do that for next Christmas. Your collection sounds awesome. I think both my nieces had a lot of fun playing with my dolls though.

I still have a lunch box, but it's not a Barbie one. As for toys, I have little Snoopy toys, but that's about it. Well, I have cow parade figures that the kids and my niece give me. Still love collecting things, but the main thing is Vera Bradley purses now.

I do remember a Francie Doll in the Barbie series. I had a little Francie case for her. I'm not sure where she figured into the Barbie Hierarchy.

Another great entry of memories, Megan! *Heart*

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. If I send a review, it means I enjoyed my reading experience enough to let you know it. I look at a review as my 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.

You need all sorts of reviewers for all sorts of writers. We can't all write a dissertation every time. If I did that, I'd do about six reviews a year.

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

*Cow* I was looking at the site images and stumbled upon this one!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think that the colors are particularly beautiful and striking!

*Thumbsup* Love the artwork! I wish my plants would look this pretty. Shakes hoof at plants!

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 as I am a fan. I will give you my thoughts.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* That soup that you make in the crock pot sounds yummy. Is it with tomato base in there? I am hungry so now I will scrounge around for something inferior here. Yum Yum though for the soup - I hope you have some nice bread or crackers to go with.

Your days sound like fun, even the work days like you balance them out with things you enjoy.

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

I love Barnes and Noble, too, as you know. How long does it take to get to that Christmas Store in Michigan? It sounds like a lot of fun things to do even when you and your husband go together, like you balance them out.

Besides Barnes and Noble, I have a used book place I go to and sometimes Mr. hooves goes with me there. He's not too keen on Barnes and Noble because he likes to rush in and rush out whilst I am more of a browser.

I wanted to tell you that I got a book about Jane Austen at the used book place. It is called Jane Austen, An Illustrated Treasury by Rebecca Dickson. It is set up like a pretty scrapbook. I got it used for $3.60.

In it, it says something that might interest you for the Newsletter. Mark Twain was a harsh critic of Jane Austen and of Poe. Twain said a lot of nasty things about her writing, but it turned out that he never actually read her work. The idea of it didn't appeal to him and so based on that he criticized her because he assumed bad things about "women"'s book. What a tool. Sounds to me like Mr. Twain was jealous of her readership. He reminded me of people who say they cannot read Danielle Steel. She can tell a story and knows how to sell books and has a lot of readers. I think jealousy comes into a lot of unjust critics and reviewers.

Well, you might want to check out the book maybe. I am still going through it myself.

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

*Cow* I gave the prompt for "The Writer's CrampOpen in new Window. yesterday. I am not the judge for today, but I wanted to read the entries!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* This is an action-packed, romantic, first person romp with a reality show element and surprise twists galore.

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

*Thumbsup* My favorite part was the "safe word". I loved how you took that and made it something special between them. Very romantic, fun and fast paced. I could picture a lot of it in my imagination.

Nice work, as always!

*Cow* I gave the prompt in "The Writer's CrampOpen in new Window. yesterday. Although I am not today's judge, I wanted to read the entries.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I like the romantic sonnet you have crafted using the prompts. It is very much in keeping with the Valentine's Day theme!

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

*Thumbsup*I particularly like how you launch into your poem:


"When I think of Moon River
I think of you and I
You are my joy giver
It does not matter why."

Happiness and romance go hand in glove. Nicely done!

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

*Cow* I was looking at your Blog City Journal and saw that you updated so I decided to read and send a review.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I don't think by that definition I would qualify.

I have a bad temper and am very slow to forgive. One of my parents was that way and the other was quick to forgive. Luckily, they never got really mad at each other. If I believe someone is genuinely sorry for hurting another, I would forgive. I have a history of doing that. But I don't think that forgiveness is warranted when there is no remorse. I agree with you about people who hurt animals and anything helpless. I would make the penalties for that much more severe than they are now.

And, for instance, my niece's death. The guy she was married to the day before she killed herself married the woman he was fooling around with at that time of his wedding to my niece. As far as I know this guy has no remorse. I don't think he could really apologize for what he did, only to God. Well, you know about that because you are one of the few people who bothered to read all that thing I wrote about it.

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

I don't think the internet is the answer usually, either, so I totally agree with you there. Making connections means meeting in person. Well, I am someone who met and married before the Internet came into being so that's probably why I'm in the dark ages there. I do not know how kids today will be able to cope with relationships if all they have is this online nonsense to go by. Scary world ahead.

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

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

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I thought about the loss of someone held so dear. The letter is written to someone who is hospitalized in a coma. So, a loss is felt dearly even though the physical presence is still there.

This is a hard state to be in as every memorable day would be painful because of not being able to share it.

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

I applaud this bittersweet approach to the prompt. It is original and heart wrenching. We all fear such a separation from those that we love most. Some of us, who have lost our loved ones, will readily identify with the pain and the longing that each holiday brings that focuses on that word you left out (love) and togetherness.

You did a fine job with the prompt - nice work indeed!

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

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* At first this appears to be a letter from a husband to his wife as they are forced (by circumstances) to be separated. It soon becomes clear that it is a letter from the great beyond that we will all go to some day.

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

I loved the reference to the movie, "Ghost", using the word, "ditto" for love and how you hinted at things by saying she would never read the letter.

There is a lot of sadness in the longing in this. I thought it was very well done.

Nice work for the Writer's Cramp.

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

*Cow* I saw that you had added and noticed the title.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I guess the bad things about winter make us appreciate our summers more and vice versa. I am not a fan of extremes either way. My favorite is autumn, but I have not figured out why yet besides Halloween.

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

*Thumbsup* I like your movie list a lot. Some of ours are the same and some different. But it is differences that make the world go round.

My list has changed a lot over time. I have discovered that some movies that are old are my favorites really. Well, I should make a list, but you have a lot of good reasons for yours. You have given it some good thought.

I guess that Johnny Depp is your favorite actor. Who would be the ultimate favorite actress you like? For me they are all dead pretty much. But I would have to really give it some thought like you did.

I forgot to tell you that I commissioned a badge that is coming that you might like. It is Breakfast at Tiffany's. For some reason, it sticks in my head that you might like that movie. I am rediscovering a lot about it.

I made it so anyone can get it and of course I will give it to you as soon as I am here and see it is up. I approved it yesterday, which was my 33rd wedding anniversary. I thought that was cool.

You did a nice job of telling the reader why you pick what you did.

I enjoyed reading it very much!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* Maybe reading the stories helps us make up our minds to find our own answers. I don't really believe someone else would have the answer for me.

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

*Thumbsup* I think that stories help us to get to the truth of the matter. Sometimes when you organize something in your mind to write about it, you see things that might not have occurred to you before. Well, it's interesting to think about how stories develop over time.

*Cow*I saw your poem featured in this past week's Poetry Newsletter and came to read. Congratulations on being selected to be in the Newsletter!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I wasn't really familiar with this form, but I admire it because of that consistent 8 syllable count per line. That really makes it flow well when I read it to myself and then aloud. The refrain adds emphasis in just the right place.

The tie in with nature and love is timeless.

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

*Thumbsup* This was my favorite part:

"In the night sky, a last embrace.
The morning sun cannot erase
this union that will always be.
The wind sings of your love to me."

What a perfect poem to read leading up to the big Valentine's Day deal next week!

*Cow* I saw your and Espero Author Icon's poem featured in this week's Poetry Newsletter and came to read. Congratulations on being selected to be in the Newsletter!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think you two have captured what love is or should be when it's for real. I like the way your poem seamlessly flows from one writer to the other. If I didn't know it was two writers, I wouldn't have guessed that.

You seem to both be on the same wavelength, which is that love isn't a selfish thing when it's real.

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

*Thumbsup* These are my favorite 4 lines, which flow right together even though you wrote them separately:

"Plays music soft and light
Brought together in ballet.

Teaching us to sacrifice
Instead of first, going last"

The comparison to a piece of music is very apt. Of course, we defer to the composers as to who takes the lead and with regard to the timing of that. Well done.

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

*Cow* I clicked on that Random Review double the prize thing that is ongoing and it brought me to your fine poem.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I am thinking I want it to be Spring now, so this fits right into my mood these cold winter mornings. Although, where I am it will be in the 70's tomorrow, which is really weird.

I notice that the first word in the third line might have been intended to be "tremble" instead of "trimble". I am not positive about that, but thought I would mention it just in case it might be a typo.

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

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. If I send a review, it means I enjoyed my reading experience enough to let you know it. I look at a review as my 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.

You need all sorts of reviewers for all sorts of writers. We can't all write a dissertation every time. If I did that, I'd do about six reviews a year.

Your poem is short, so it wouldn't make sense to write a treatise about it. I enjoyed my reading visit and hope I have conveyed that message to you.

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.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* These seem like some emotional prompts. Scars, you are right, are both physical and emotional.

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

*Thumbsup* I think that the scars from surgeries remind us sometimes (me at least as I have had a bunch of surgeries) that we are lucky to be alive and not in the position we were in when we got the scars.

Mr. hooves has some reminders of his ordeal and I am so thankful that he is here to look at them, if you know what I mean.

Well, you do know what I mean because you, also, were on a breathing tube and you have gaps when you don't remember stretches of time like he does.

Well, the emotional scars are different when our feelings get hurt. Some people lash out. I sort of get quiet and retreat when that happens. If someone attacks me and hurts me, it just reinforces my decision to get away from them. Well, scars can be a good reminder in this way. If someone has hurt your feelings on purpose and then isn't sorry and then yells at you, the scars tell me to run. Run as far away as possible.

So, scars can be good reminders as well as sad ones, I guess.

Good entry, as always, (((Megan))! *Heart*

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

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* This is an action packed adventure that all starts with the theft of a candy bar, as per the intriguing prompt.

You take it to great heights of political intrigue and suspense as the first person narrative takes the reader at a breathless pace in desperation to clear things up.

The no peeking instruction was amusing. Of course, when someone tells me no peeking, I'm going to peek as soon as I can. *Laugh*

This is a brilliant commentary on human nature: "Being poor forced you to forge relationships with people you normally wouldn't."

For a lot of the time, it is hard to tell who are the bad guys and who are the not as bad guys, with all the shooting and chasing. I like that you gave Mr. Mason that name. It says "Cult" to me like in masonic lodge.

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

*Thumbsup* I especially like the title of the story, and the way you launch right into it. Who knew that something so innocent could turn into something so dangerous and sinister with repurcussions for the whole world. The elements of coercion and blackmail are ripe with drama and conflict.

I think this is very clever and fast paced and reads like the beginning of a series of stories or even a novel, a la Jason Bourne.

Fine work!

*Cow* I saw that you had added to your Blog City Journal and came to read.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

I think you are very right. Hate and fear are intertwined. I also think that people hate what they can't understand and control, too. It is not a good climate when people are fearful. The leaders should do everything they can so that people are reassured. I don't think it is good when they aren't believable about it.

I still remember the 60s when I was a kid and how scary that time was. So far, it was a lot worse than now, but now reminds me of then when Nixon was President.

Young men used to be drafted to fight in Vietnam during that time. My brother went to Vietnam. I was scared for him. I hope they never bring back that draft for the military to force young guys (who don't have the money or influence to get out of it) to serve. I am sure it was scary for all the families at the time, too.

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

*Cow* I was looking for a newly created poem to read and your title caught my attention.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* My dog is a girl. She has three beds and is low to the floor as she is a Basset Hound. She cannot get up on furniture. I think the getting down of it would be what would do her in (and us too!)

She brings us such joy that I wouldn't want her to be burdened with the worries of the world. I try to be more like her, and I'm getting better about shrugging things off. But it is a lesson of long standing as she is now 10 years young.

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

*Thumbsup* This was my favorite part:

"Yet sleeps soundly in his lack of control,
Losing nothing, effected not,
Oblivious to our trials.
Untroubled by his."

We would all sleep better, I believe if we were not worried about that which is to come. I hope in the next life to be less the worrying kind and more the dog kind.

Fine poem!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* Your snacks sound good.

I don't like football on the professional level, either. I used to enjoy it some, but Michael Vick changed all that. When they let him back in, I decided something about the league and I haven't changed my mind so far. High school football (before they get to being thugs and spoiled with all the money) is more interesting to me than pro sports.

I was interested in Lady Gaga, but not enough to watch it. We watched our usual Netflix instead. I looked at it for about 5 minutes at the beginning and I thought the commercials I saw (Google and another I forget what it was) were dopey.

I guess I missed the good ones. Well, I'll find them on the Internet sometime I suppose.

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

I liked your treats. I always make chili on Superbowl weekend and sometimes Con Queso dip. This year, it was just chili. We didn't eat that much really - we didn't pig out. Interestingly in the Wal*Mart it was packed yesterday. Also, the grocery stores prepackaged Wings and they were almost sold out even by 10 in the morning. I hope next year I remember not to go to the grocery store on Superbowl Weekend because it was a madhouse.

The chili I made was using ingredients from a little box called Wick Fowler's 2 Alarm Chili. Well, mr. hooves is from Texas. We would have watched all of the Superbowl if it had been the Cowboys playing. But they didn't make it all the way this year. Maybe next year.

Nice entry for your blog, Megan! *Hug*

*Cool**Idea* Enjoy the tempting fruits! We had some blackberries (I think they came in from Mexico so who knows how long that will last) that we got from Wal*Mart not too long ago and they were delicious!

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

*Thumbsup* The privacy thing is a consideration. Our next door neighbor years ago did memoirs just for his family. He published them himself and had a good time with it and the family had it to enjoy specially for them. It is something to consider if you don't want to share everything with the world.

Or, you could write it all and separate it into what you want the general public to see and what's otherwise.

Whatever gets one to writing is what works, I guess. I haven't done it, so what do I know? Not much. *Laugh*

*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome WagonOpen in new Window.! *BalloonR*


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

*Cow* I was looking at new poems and your title and item description caught my interest. I have an aversion to hospitals and have spent too much time in them and traipsing around them.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think you have captured the range of drama that transpires every day in those awful places. I know that wonderful things like births happen there, but to me the whole health care system is a horrific abuse of power waiting to happen.

Well, when you've had bad experiences at the hands and hooves of vicious health care workers, it is hard to see them objectively. But you present a good picture of the ups and downs and the different people that run around these places (or wheel around) every day.

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

This was my favorite part at the end:

"And the stories will circle
Round the portico
The young, the aged
The healthy, the dying
Sorrowing and celebrating
Stories not being told here
But I see them all
As they circle"

I would much rather be in your shoes/hooves observing than living any of it. Horror show.

Wonderful poem and welcome to the site! *Cow**Balloons*

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

*Cow* I saw your poem featured in the Romance Newsletter and came to read. Great job on editing this past week's newsletter! I learned a lot about the history of Valentine's Day! I am somewhat hungry so your title attracted me also!

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I am a fan of white chocolate more than milk chocolate although I didn't say no to about 8 chocolate chip cookies last night.

What this poem says to me is don't take the people you care about for granted and just pay attention to them on special days. Be nice all the time if you can, I guess.

My wedding was 4 days before Valentine's so we celebrate that more than the Valentine's deal. We give each other cards and send them to others.

I don't think the Valentine's thing should be in schools, though. There is too much potential for hurtful exclusion of some. I know how damaging that can be to be relegated to the list of rejects when it comes to childhood list making. Recent experience with a big group here has retaught me that painful lesson once again.

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

This was my favorite part:

"So, don’t take bliss for granted.
It never lasts;
nor does chocolate
on Valentines Day."

Take care of things while we have the chance is the big message to me.

Lovely poem and fine job with teaching us in the Newsletter!

Queen of the House

*Cow* You sent me a link, so I'm here in a wink. My hound at the ready, she's snoring quite steady! lol

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* I think Charlie seems like a delightful traveling companion. Yes, I could relate because they do what they want to do and will not perform.

Mine is a girl named Boo, and she is the ten year old queen of the house. I am a devoted servant as is Mr. hooves. *Delight*

*Thumbsup* I loved it all, especially this part:

"Unlike Charlie, I am O-C-D
so I always check everything twice.
As I run through my final checklist,
his snores are his only advice."

Sometimes snoring and staying home is the best advice there is! *Laugh*

Boo has this thing where she licks the floor. It's her hobby, she wouldn't be happy to leave that floor for long.

Keep those ears nice and clean and everything is grand in Basset Hound ville.

I love how you launch into it:

"A thousand miles and more,
To the wheat and velvety plains.
A thousand miles and more,
Where wind, snow and hailweather reigns."

There is an intensity and an eloquence to the words you have selected and the flow of your poem. It is as if a storm sweeps in as the excitement builds and carries the reader along.

I enjoyed reading it very much! Well done!

*Cow*I saw that you had added to your Blog City Journal and came to read.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* So, you take three random things. I wasn't sure what they were.

I would lose my temper too. I always lose my temper when I think people are being unfair.

If I really lose my temper, I usually turn away. I might yell, but I withdraw and take my support and business elsewhere.

I think I get that from my mother. She wouldn't speak to whoever or have anything to do with them if they went too far with her. That even extended to her older sister. When that sister crossed a line, my mother was done. Luckily, I never went that far although she was angry with me at times. She was much smarter than I was about reading people.

*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews ~ Summer BreakOpen in new Window.*CakeP*


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

*Cow* Happy 13th Account Anniversary! I saw your poem reviewed on the Public Reviewing page and the title attracted my attention because I am Irish.

What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item?

*Cool**Idea* This made me think of my Aunt who used to do curses. She had one where she would get something personal (like a strand of hair) and put it in a drawer in a handkerchief wrapping sand inside.

I think she scared herself with how well that one work. Then she did some research and sure enough there was the family tree leading back to Salem.

I loved her very much - she taught me a lot, but I'm not really into the whole thing much. *Laugh*

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

*Thumbsup* I like this a lot:

"Our curses can be gentle,
The kind that last and last
Or they can be so harsh you'll wish
Your life would soon be past!"

It is fun to think we might have that power. Well maybe we do and maybe we don't. The thing about power is to pick your battles and know when to use it. I don't think most people ever figure out what there power is or how to harness it.

Very thought provoking poem with a catchy, effective rhyme!
