Will you look at that...! Huh!
Lee, do you know how hard it is to work this stupid copy-the-error function while I'm crying with laughter? I mean, come on! Now I gotta go change my Depends.
Okay! Here are a couple of things to look at. See what you think:
teller-phone ain't got crank! - a
The sidewalk window displays showcase tasteful holiday gift items. -huh?
Lutherans with credit cards--imagine? - ! (?)
If the rest is this funny I don't know how I'll survive it. Great job, sir.
Lutherans, huh? LOL! :D Nancy

Thanks again, Nancy. Thanks for the spag alerts. I think I have them all covered. Hey, Lutherans were just the next group in the box. It's their turn. Next week Mormons. Thanks so much for the galaxy. Peace, Lee
Comment from Joy Graham
I think this is the first Christmas story of the season. Looking forward to reading the next installments :)
"Oh my, how (ever) will I ever sleep?" - cut the first "ever".
"it's as if (she) on the way to her own friggin' coronation" - "she's"

Any title that has ick in it has to be attached to a great Humpwhistle story - and then for it to have internal rhyme as well - I'm in seventh heaven and have yet to read a word of the story. LOL
Love the attitude of the narrator from the very first line
love the commentary on the town and its name LOL
I could never fold those damn maps either so I'm laughing so hard I'm crying ;-)
What a fun conversation with the woman thief who has already staked out the jewelry store and warns him off - they are the couple made in hell. LOL I can't wait to see what happens :-) Brooke

Thanks again, Brooke. I just love to dump characters into a situation and see how badly they can mess up. Of course, I have nothing to do with the messing up part. It's all on them.
Glad you're enjoying. Peace, Lee

Sounds like you were doing something at the ball instead of watching the game. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words.

Comment from Spiritual Echo
Yes, it was a lot of fun.
Your female characters all have style and they all seem to come from the higher side of average when you write about them, which makes your stories particularly enjoyable to women as well as men.
I hope this is just a diversion and doesn't mean a change in direction on your other project.

Thanks again, Ingrid. I do try to give my women characters some attitude. I like for them to be able to hold their own, and then some. Yes, I'll be getting back to Peel anon. Thanks again. Peace, Lee

Comment from EMB
LOL This was a Christmas Carol that was written by Scrooge, and I loved it. :) This was a charming little piece, and I loved the girls wit and spunk. The exchange was terrific. Obviously, Tupperware was way out of his league. LOL
Nice one.

Comment from Scribbler67
I just love this style of American, self-deprecating humour. Couldn't stop reading, every word until the end. Witty, pacey, and very, very readable. Really like your style.

I am fascinated by your descriptions. Once again your characters are outstanding.
and weigh them against my rather more substantial localliabilities (a space????)
