Hi there!

LOVED 35 especially!

I’d like to invite you to join our new writers’ community at http://www.inksty.com/ where you can upload this and more of your writing, and receive intuitive, in-depth feedback that will help you grow as a writer.

I apologise for not being able to spend the time helping individuals like yourself outside of inksty.com, but I found that I end up spending hours on writers who actually didn’t want my critiques, so I’ve now swapped to spending time helping the writers on inksty.com to further their abilities. I hope to see you there!

(P.S. there is also a competition at the moment, which runs until June, with a $1000.00 grand prize. Entries are free, all intellectual property remains yours – no catches, just join and enter!)

Hi Katreya. You are not the first person to relate and like #35.
As for the invitation, I appreciate it but I don't need any extra money, and the majority of my works, especially Barrier found HERE,
http://bit.ly/1gZAO6k
will likely not appear anywhere else until final publication through Amazon Books.

Good luck on your site of Inksty, however Writer's Cafe has won my heart earlier on. :)

I love Woody Allen and George Burns... in fact every one of these is great. My favorite this time though is from the chairman... I'm for whatever gets you through the night!

F. Sinatra worded that well. What woman wouldn't be enticed and interested in a statement like that ? *Grin*

35. Society is like a stew. If you don't stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top.

I feel the same way about the videogame industry, Avinash. Gotta keep things mixed up to make it interesting. :)

For number 26, my home phone number is one digit off from a local restaurant.

You can certainly get your phone number changed. I had to do that with one eager prankster about a few years ago.
