I saw no errors in this final piece. overall, you have an interesting biography. Of course it's far from over, as you are still living life and continuing on your journey. Have a nice weekend and God Bless.

Funny stuff. I enjoy a play on words and like Sankey's sense of humor.
Being a redneck from Mississippi, USA sometimes I have to think for a minute to get the point. Our expressions differ somewhat, but I find the Australian humor quite funny.

Today I learned some expressions in Geoffese ... a new language, by Jove!

What a great way to end your book, my friend - imaginative and clever. A wonderful suggestion from your pal.

My mum suffers from diverticulosis - what are the odds that you both do. It's not a funny condition to have to deal with. Laughter is the best medicine, I suppose ... even for Crystal Bowels!

Have a wonderful week, Geoff.

    Thanks for this. Yes funny how we both suffer Diverticulosis. I think I mentioned someplace how I had a couple of falls in my bath (probably something to do with the yet undiagnosed Vertigo problem.) The Occupational Therapist who was helping Louise with her various problems for her Cerebral Palsy suggested getting rid of the bath and one other also discouraged me from anymore baths (I miss it believe me)...so I had the bath ripped out and we now have our own potties. I think you had read where we converted the third bedroom into a 'Ensuite' Bathroom for Louise. It used to be a funny scenario I would be working in my study, thinking about Nature nagging at me to 'take care of business' then I would hear Louise in her wheelchair coming down the hall and realise I just had to go! (back before potty No 2 was installed) These days it still happens that way but I forget we each have our own now hehe. (if you want some pictures of the bathrooms let me have an e-mail)Can we see another chapter here? Have a look at Bliss chapter a lot more added and some dialogue as Mikey has recommended and probably yourself!

The English language is bad enough, but you have found a way to make it fun. The sad part, some people don't see anything wrong with the spelling or these words. Good luck with your book.

    Hi there new friend. Appreciate your review. I had only just added some extra this morning so decided to put it up again. Hope you might find the time to go back to the start and read through...and comment some more of course. What part of the globe are you from? I know in America except for perhaps Boston they have ruined the English language, for good, I mean forever! I won't get into our 'strine' Down Under, and how we have murdered the Queen's English, of course. Typical Colonials huh!Do I know you by any chance?

I know you have more of these!! That looks pretty good with all those numbers in a row though. I know you got some twists and turns to go still. But, this has really taken shape since the beginning and is in top form now. Great job. mikey

Just saying hello and to let you know I AM READING THESE. LOL I've just reviewed all of them already. Just shaping up tip top though. I laughed that you like the phrase "libtard". HA! I like it too. We're great fun and make a lot of noise. Just don't leave us in charge!!!! LOL mike

    Thanks mate. Appreciate you coming by being such a busy guy yourself. Thinking of doing an Intro for the book and getting a friend to read and do a 'Foreword' and all. Still a major edit and will have more pictures in the printed book.

Interesting writing here my friend. Some things that are funny and I never thought of how they sounded before. The Irish rolling pin look pretty big in the picture.

    Hi Bro did the pin come out big on your side have to see if I can reduce it notice the square nature of it hence Irish ok! I don't know how much of what I write comes out different 'up and over" from "Down Under" thanks for the review.
reply by the author on 09-Apr-2014
    Hey Bro I just replaced the rolling pin with a smaller version see what you think now.

Great humor in this. I think kids in particular like these fun word plays. I especially like "You can't have your kyak and eat at two." We would spell it Crookshank in the U.S., I believe, but the name is associated with someone having a cooked leg and limp. It seems like different parts of the country make their own contributions to these fun words. Very enjoyable. In your line "and it's doors opened," you don't need the apostrophe, just its. judi

    bad habit with the "It's" thing sorry. Always stuck on the abbreviation for 'it is' for some unknown reason hehe thank God for the editors if I ever get published huh! Thanks for the great review, friend.
reply by judiverse on 08-Apr-2014
    You're so welcome. Sankey. My nephew writes for an online newspaper and always has trouble with its and it's. judi
reply by the author on 08-Apr-2014
    Right but I do thinkj our so call ed mistake is out of the idea of the possessive nature of the it in circumstances like the lift or elevator being the 'it' and the doors belonging to the elevator so in that case maybe the it's is not all that wrong because the door are "it's" ie the elevator's doors, belong to the elevator.
reply by judiverse on 09-Apr-2014
    I hear "lift" so much in watching British TV shows that the word sounds natural to me. I still prefer our "parking lot" to "car park." judi

    Hi there, just marked your 30th review of my Little Dog book. Thought you might be interested. Acknowledgement page coming up in the book for all my reviewers and hoping some of you still on FS can tell me how to contact quite a few who have left. 6:20am Sunday here. Chiz.
reply by judiverse on 20-Oct-2018
    I can't believe you did that. I review some people who post two poems a day. It must be a phenomenal number of reviews I've written for them. judi
reply by the author on 20-Oct-2018
    I probably won['t do this for all my books just this one. ( I mean the Acknowledgement page thing.)

    Good luck with it. judi
