Sweetest Debi, I cannot
thank you enough for the best
birthday I've ever had. You
made my birthday so lovely.
I'm so happy I met you, Sally,
karenina, and other friends on
Fanstory. My daughter and
her little family were so
gracious too. My deep
gratitude to all of you
sweethearts. Prayers for
your surgery & speedy recovery. Love you!

Thank you dear friend for your lovely review of your poem. After all your opinion what couldn't the most. Thank you so much for the six star my friend.

If she lives in Carolina, (in the USA, right), she probably is a neighbot ... get it neigh (horses) ... as we do too, and those with equines generally would be in the Western part of the state. Our sixty seven acres have umpteen horse farms surrounding us and we are only 6 miles from the T.I.E.C. Look it up. Though don't use the acronym. I tried and it doesn't take you there. It stands for The "Tryon International Equestrian Center."

Another beautiful birthday wish! I love that you do this, Debi. And I think I'll have to go check out Regina now! Between you and Helen, I'm fanning so many authors I may never get caught up! lol
Blessings, sweetie!

A wonderful birthday greeting to Regina. In wishing her a happy birthday, you also gave readers insight to her as a person and as a FS writer.
I believe I read one of her poems in a contest. I hope she wins.
Best wishes,
Mary

You put so much of a person's life into your birthday poems. Are these FS members whose work you follow? I'm guessing you because of the detailed reference to their work.

Hey sweetie, these are the friends that I have made because of being loyal reviewers. Just like you my awesome friend. I was going to wait a couple more days but I might as well ask you now if you can send me some details about yourself? Better yet, I will pm you some of my questions. I usually ask about 3-4 days before their birthday, but I am having eye surgery on Wed so whatever I can do ahead of time I will. I even have yours memorized, so hope I can do you justice. You are one of my favorites..... Thanks Shari as I really do appreciate your kind words!

Debi, there you go again! I have no idea how you come up with all the creative rhymes for the many talents our friends display. I know you do this labor of love because you care for so many friends. Let me say on behalf of the FanStory nation: Thank you Debi.! We love you Debi!

Oh my sweet brother, I cannot believe how much I missed you. Even more than the one I have here at home. Lol.. The other day I was thinking about you and didn't want to actually admit it to myself, but oh my goodness, I think you were as my friend Willie would say and at least for that night, 'You were always on my mind.' I too am taking serious and enjoying our birthday triplet thing and maybe it is partly knowing that when I was laying in that incubator fighting for life, you popped into the world and said, "I will save you sister, Debi." Ok, now I may be getting a little goofy, but the truth is we can never have enough people care about us or ones to care about and so that is my story my dear, and I am sticking to it.
Thanks a million for popping into my day today too. Your presence is awesome, your comments are even more awesome but your six stars are very much appreciated. I wouldn't want you to think I loved you for your stars, would you? Seriously I thank your from the bottom of my heart and I do feel great knowing that you were back for a little bit. 😘🙏🤗

reply by Dr. Nad on 10-Jun-2023

"I will save you sister, Debi." Wow, this is absolutely shocking to me. Two things:
1. I didn't think you heard me say that!
2. I had no idea you would remember that! (You were a new born baby!)
I believe we can both honestly say we have never had this conversation come up between us before. And 68 years later, WOW, incredible!

And no sis, I don't believe for a second our relationship is built on STARS. Mom would not like it if she thought that were the case. (For that matter, neither would Pam)
As a matter fact, I don't want to give either you or Pam six stars because I don't want it to look like nepotism. It is, however, you guys fault! (You and Pam are such incredible writers other FanStorians don't stand a chance.). BUT . . . Since nobody is askin . . . I'll tell you a secret. I gave somebody else a 6 today!

On another note, I have attempted to text you a question. I don't know my technology very well and I hope I got it to you. It would've been through email I think, I don't have your phone number so it was not a text. My question is about a contest I was thinking about entering. I don't know if my submission would meet the criteria or not.

reply by the author on 10-Jun-2023

Nope, nothing came thru on either one

reply by Dr. Nad on 10-Jun-2023

Could you email me at: DRBpoet@gmail.com I wouldn't be able to respond through that email you sent me. The one I have is iCloud for you.

Your Merry-go~Rhyme is delightful, clever, and informative. I didn't know Regina Elliot. It sounds as though she has had some very interesting experiences as well as challenges, which leads to compelling writing. I have to visit her portfolio. Thanks for the introduction. Btw, the grumpy candle is funny.
