Are these the senior ladies again? They do seem busy.

Hello wild rose...I hope you are OK. I have been thinking of you and waiting for you to write some more. I know you said you can only write when you are really sad but I hope you can get through that barrier because you have so much to give and you write it so well.
No, not the golden oldies this time. Just a reality check on RL. It keeps my friends amused you know...they think they recognise themselves...alas they do! I am (miss?) fortunate enough to have twenty forty recall. I remember exactly what they have said... and my thoughts as they were saying it. They all read wot I have writ and take it as they will. If I offend...I apologise, if I entertain..I am satisfied...if I provoke I am sated. If people deem it worth comment, I am blessed. Thank you...write more and take care.

Hi boots!

"This isn't a flower shop it's a reality sitcom."

I feel this way sometimes! Except with my life. Not a flower shop
And these certainly keep us entertained! So be satisfied

Hi Wolf!
I am...I so am.
Old is you know

I've got a bunch of technicalities for you::

First: "'Bon journo Bella! Chow Baby'" chow should be ciao

Second:"in case you had forgotten" should be have, as we're addressing the present, no?

Third: "a Budhist and step..." It's Buddhist actually

and last: "Dear God Clarissa is going to start up a fan club" perhaps a comma between god and clarissa?

Oh Wow! Hello prof...how cool is this? A real teacher pointing out that I am truly grammatically dyslectic! Thank you. I shall change the horrid mistakes before this one goes to the Post and shall advise Shazz so she can do the credit stuff (grammatically dyslectic and totally technically challenged...whoops ...there's something wrong in that too isn't there? shouldn't put totally with challenged I suspect...sorry.)

Did check the Buddhist on spell check but still managed to miss type derrr!
Tenses and commas have always confused. They are perfectly clear when pointed out though thanks, and the only one I could take issue with is the 'ciao'.
I think the character may well have spelt it as 'chow' in his head but now I'm just being a stroppy student trying to be too big for his boots!
Thank you prof

Reality sitcom, oh that rings bells, except that my life is more Reality Carry On.

You want to provoke commas? I think you could add one after pretty in here "Thin, pretty out of work and northern"

PS You can add another notch to your satisfaction counter for me. And it was so nice to see old friends, Baleesha, et al, and the all seeing 'I' behind it all, again.
