Thank you Mark. It means a lot to have you read my work even though you do not have anything to compare it with in your life. It is a lot different here in the Unites States. When I was a teenager and you were a teenager I suppose out lives were as different as night and day. I just hope my simple life wasn't boring to you. I hope you will point out mistakes if you see them. All your help is appreciated . Hopefully I will soon get back into this project and get more done.

This is something very new to me as I have no experience of the things you write. I have to say you write very well and I do intend to read on. Mark

Bid daddy. We do care about each other. Bitch if you must. I try my best to get to all my friends projects and read as much as I can. However, if I spend all my time reading other peoples feedback, projects and leaving feedback myself I have no time to write my stories. At times we have to be a bit selfish or else we would never get our own projects written. I'm slow as honey on a cold day. When I'm moved to write new things it takes me forever it seems. Just today I wrote  (On The Edge ) and had to re-write it 5 times due to corrections sent me. I'm a lousy speller. I'm beat now as dawn is coming soon and still I haven't read but one persons poem in 2 days. I feel a failure. Forgive me for my thoughtlessness. I will get to your writing as soon as possible. But now the keys are getting fuzzy. I must go.
 Thank You for your wonderful feedback Tuesday.
                                                                                  Always,
                                                                                           Liz

  Parton me but I gotta bitch! Comments are rare these days, the average WEbooker just won't leave them. When I started WEbooken everybody cared about each others work and 20 to 50 comments in my inbox everyday acknowledging my work and the work of my submitters was average, now if I get 5 comments a week I feel like I've won the lottery. Five comments on 25 projects isn't very many but it shows me that there are still people out there that care. Recently four different authors have removed submissions from my projects because they weren't getting enough response, that's sad. I personally leave 15 to 30 comments every day, I try to reach as many authors as I can and all the new projects I can. I feel like looking at other peoples work and letting them know I care is part of my responsibility as a WEbooker. If we don’t start responding to others we are going to lose a lot of good authors. Enough said!!

Well, BDC I must confess I have been sort of research my past what I can remember of it on Google. The resent things that have occured in the past half year have given me sound recollections, Like the death of Walter Chronkite, the Moon landing, Woodstock and Love Valley Rock festivals etc, I could go on as you know better than anyone, since you have experenced so much more in your life, due to the slight age difference. But to make a long story shorter, All these things bring back where I was and what I was doing like when Kennedy and King were killed, all the riots and love-in's. I can then remember what I was doing, where I was and that for the most part I was wasted/stoned and in a different world. Of course, " I'm still in my own little world, They know me there."  I feel at peace here and have no fears or worries even though I'm straight now. In my dreams I still drift back to the pot-head days, smell the aroma, taste the herbs and enjoy the euphoria. if I could go back I would do the same things with a twist, change a few things of course if I could but odds are you can't change what others had written as to the purpose of their lives and when their deaths would come.
It means the world to me that you are reading my memoir. Just remember, just because you come across a blank chapter check further down. I write as it comes to me and even go back to former chapters to revise. I love you honesty and your friendship is a treasured gift. Shrinks have their own shrinks you know. They are crazy as bed bugs and I told the only one I have ever encountered in 1976 when I was in the psyco ward for eleven days he was full of misinformation and didn't have a clue about me, my life and especially about my mind. Pin heads with closed minds shouldn't be given a license to practice, peroid !  Many Blessing to you.

I know you may think this is a little to egotistical but sometime after reading a good book or an interesting article, I’ll go back over everything that I have written and spend an evening with my own way of writing, It’s simple and easy to read and I find it quite enjoyable. The library in my home is the biggest room in the house. I buy a book every time I go shopping, believe it or not I’ve got a hundred books that I’ve only read the preface or the prologue. I’m an obsessive reader with a passion for words, so what does that make me, if I like my own creations? Granted they are not literary masterpieces but they are readable. Now the fact to the matter is I am reading your memoirs a niche I rarely delve into, unless it’s a friend, Friend. I’ve always got time for a friend. You readily admit that you are bi-polar so I’ll confess and go a little further; I’m a manic-depressive psychotic and have delusions and hallucinations, which means I see and feel things others don’t, talk to people I’m told are not there and don’t laugh but I run around in my underwear. My headshrinker tells me I’m Tri-polar because my condition has included addiction and self abuse. I told the doctor he was an imbecile and to get out of my life I’d cure myself. I’ve done a pretty good job at least I got rid of an alcohol problem.   I’m glad to see that you’ve got a good sense of humor putting your life story together; it makes what you write much more interesting. Your memoirs border on a good story and I like a good story when it’s well written, so far I like what I see. You are lucky to have the people you have to read and leave comments, a while back I wrote my life story and couldn’t get anyone to read it so I shit canned it. I can’t believe some people, especially those who get so wrapped up in themselves that they can’t see past their nose. I’ve read your written extravaganza all the way down to A Penny for Your Thoughts, chapter 17, I think. I think the way you’ve put things together is really good you are still dragging me along by the seat of my pants. I hate to admit it but you are a much better writer then I am. Good Luck, BDC

I want to thank everyone who has read or intend to read my memoir. It is not complete yet. I have many more chapters to add. I'll move around the ones that now say End project as I  desides where they will all fit properly. Thank you Mel. You are so honest and I love your feedback dearly because you understand so completely how difficult it is to carry on with Bi-Polar Depression. I have wanted to do seminars to discuss this disease. I have done a few different kindsof seminars in the 80's and 90's. Perhapes when my book is finished It will be of interest and help to others.
wonderideas09, thank you for your thoughtful comments and for taking the time to read my memoir. Now I really need to get back to work on it and finish it or at least get it up to date. 2009

Hey, read all your book, first of all your a really good writer, good reading it flows really great. You detailed your thoughts and made it sound so real, if was like I was there, as you were a person telling to the story face to face. I read it all because once I start can't stop! You should try to publish this. I need to take lessons from your grammer, and mine is the people talking conversations which to me can get hard. Overall I rate you a five star...............

I love this view. I know all too well the affects of bipolar.
I'm on the depressive side myself. some of the most creative,intelligent writers suffered from this.
this is a refreshing viewpoint. some of the mental health clinics are interested in my bipolar autobiography.
love you
