~You Won't Believe What We Saw!~

Friend for a day was her greatest motto,
I took her challenge and proceeded to follow.

First Avenue was full of attractions,
I followed my friend for a day with distractions.

I could hear in the distance a noise so unreal,
as if the world over had come to congeal
on this warm summer day, on First Avenue.

You won't believe what we saw!
I cannot begin to explain!
People ran, people cried!
Many exclaimed "Oy Vey"!

And still to this day,
I shudder and wonder about my
friend for a day who got lost that hot summer.

Read em and weep! 

hahaha...good find BJ!

We knew that something spectacular was about to happen...

I used to love to walk around very old cemetaries and read the stones.  
How wonderful that the local community does such a touching thing!

We could see people gathering from our window....

Wow BJ, that is sad...

That was easy!

Suggestion:

Currently in   [My Gallery Options]:

[My Favorite Artists]  *here I have an option to remove any artist at any time.(but I would never do!  Love my fav artists!) * **But the option is available
**
*[who favorited me] *** here I can see all individuals that have me on their favorite list, their personal email notification of every image I post.  **There is no option to remove myself from any of the favorite artists auto ebot email notification of images I post.
**
I suggest an option in "who favorited me"  to opt out of being that users favorite, I believe we all have that right.

As far the art charts are concerned, that would be my personal decision no?  Would hurt no one by me, correct? 

There ya go!

You see, we can have control!

~Bump in the Night~

Magazines filled the room,
they were stacked much like idles
I have seen homes like this,
In my past travels.

My challenge that evening was not so simple,
My goal was to solve a  magazine riddle.
One not so easily imagined at first, but
one I knew would be well worth the risk.

I felt though the dark with the greatest of ease,
each mound that I crossed was laden it seemed,
with years of memories fragmented, though....
I felt the need to read each between,
there was something for me in these magazines...

Like a bump in the night I found why I came
a simple delight in one magazine, the time when 
I was a wee little girl on the cover of my home towns
Sentinel.

Thank you D!!! what fun! 

Title:  As I watied for the Train

For a moment the air smelled like apple pie
Life begins after divorce
The glass is half full
I swear if I step on that again I will lose it

*"And if someone sent me an email demanding a comment or a response to their work I would be so turned off by it that you wouldn't have to delete me from my favorites.  I'd do it for you, right along with some colorful and curt metaphors as I remove the item."

*Wow,  I would have to be one egotistical artist to ever send an email to a user that made me a favorite and demand a comment or response.

That is not what I am suggesting

What I have tried to do, in vein mind you, was one email and/or IM, thanking them for the favorite placement on their site and asking for an polite acknowledgment that they received my IM or email.

I do not believe it would be hard to remove ones self from a user's site, simple really.  When I go to my gallery options, and to my favorite artist options, there is a little "delete" option if I want to remove someone from my favorite list.

What I am suggesting, is the same "delete" option when I then go to [who favorited me] in my gallery options.  No harm done, at least I have the right to remove myself when I do not feel comfortable being on someones list of 1000 ebots.

I really believe there are responsible, respectable ways of doing this.

The small print said: Buyer beware

Got them online, how was I sopposed to know? 

Not a problem Raven98!  I thought as much, I just didn't want someone else reading this to attack the comment, and not see it as you had intended. 

Keep in mind, we DO NOT want to delete the users, simply have the option to take OUR selves off of a users account we do not feel comfortable being on.

I think it's important that we as artists have the right to make a sound choice of our own if we feel uncomfortable about a user that has added us.

Funny, I looked at 3 or 4 users in particular that have me as a favorite artist.  They have anywhere from 7 to 26 pages of favorite artists and thats it, nothing else, and again, no comments!

That could mean several things, but when I do not get a response back to an IM or email, I then become "skeptical" and would like to be removed, but that option does not exist.

If some individuals gain an account to "harvest" images, then I would rather they had to work to find them and retrieve them then to have my email pop up for easy grabbing.

Just how I feel about it.... 

Time swallows winter
into a retreat till fall.
Soon we bask in warmth.

I read about that BJ, wow...what a year!  I remember though, growing up in Manhattan, we only had one winter with snow, when I was a child, it was in 1965 and I was 5 years old. I used to pray for snow each xmas and it would never come!  That year though, the snow shut down 3rd Avenue!  But that was it for any type of snowy precipitation until 1973ish? and they have had snow every year since!  It's a cycle of weather, I would not be surprised if they fell into snow-less winters again soon.
