Good for you, hadjiboy! I'll take a look.

Thanks lukemeister, even though I don't know you, or anyone else here personally, it really does mean a lot to me.

Very compelling. I've followed your posts here and over at Mefi regarding your accident and I know it was quite a traumatic event for you (and still is, emotionally). I'm happy for you that you're on the mend, and I hope you'll be able to find peace and catharsis through your writing.

Aw, thanks amyms, that's nice, but you know what would be really compelling--if my book was good enough to get published--then I can send plane ticket's to any one of you when you want to come down here and visit, now that would be cool.

I can't quite read it now since I'm allgedly in a meeting, but I'll read it this weekend. :) Glad to see you're feeling a bit better.

no time to read it until after work but your mom is pretty! :)

Thanks By the Grace of God (my mom is pretty--but she keeps on harping about her white hair, and I tell her to forget about it, and concentrate on her beautiful face), sperose (:))--you can read it whenever you like, no problem... and thank you to every one who went by the site!

I had to bookmark it so I can read it at a more leisurely pace -- my morning coffee has played havoc with my attention span -- but what I read so far hooked my interest and I look forward to giving it the time it deserves. Thanks for posting it, bro. Glad to know you're up and around.

Total FPP material Hadj. On a serious side; I have a Syrian friend who looks like your mom. With respect; of course.

Haha, total respect, buzzman--I'll pass that along to my mom :)

Thanks Hugh, it's an Honour to know that what I've written so far has peaked you interest, bro... I hope I can keep on doing that, and not loose the magic touch... :)
