Tammy Faye, the notorious televangelist with all of the makeup, is dying. I had the pleasure of meeting her once when she lived in Palm Springs, California, and she was a very nice lady. She complimented me on my charm and looks, so I know she was a very intelligent and observant woman ;)
Seriously, she was very polite, very gracious, very warm and friendly. Before I came to the United States(I'm Australian) I didn't know much about her except for the old scandals and being an atheist I didn't care. After I met her, however, I softened my views on her and am sorry to hear that her end is drawing near. I'm wondering if anyone has any good memories of Tammy, or if they feel sympathy for her. I've not noticed the American press being too kind towards her---it appears she had long ago been relegated to the tabloids. Did she touch anyone's lives out there? Was anyone moved by what she saw as her mission in life? I feel she was a better woman than most people think she was.
Tammy Faye is dying...?
I saw a tabloid headline the other day. It was claiming that Falwell's last, dying, words were "I am sorry, Tammy Faye."
I was almost home before the full meaning of how ridiculous that was sunk in.
I have no love for what the Bakkers were or what they did while they were grabbing televangelist gold. The greed and corruption were one thing, but the spreading of intolerance and prejudice were something else.
In her later years I think she actually managed to make up for it. Especially with all of the good she did for the gays.
Serving prison time seems to have had a good effect on her ex husband as well.
Too bad we don't send more of the televangelists to jail.
Reply:She wears too much makeup. I hope God has her pot of Gold waiting. BB

Money in the hand?
this might sound strange, today i went into a shop and the lady gave my change to me by pressing it hard into my palm this is an honest question, what was the meaning of this? anyone know?
Money in the hand?
she wanted to make sure u had it or maybe she likes you
Reply:She probably seen something in you, pressing something hard into your palm, could be ensuring you that nothing will be lost.
Reply:Gosh. She pressed it in for you to close your hand so you didn't drop the money.
Reply:That really IS strange..and interesting.Can you go back to that place and ask her why she did that and if it meant anything?(It's better than wondering about it.) She might not have even realized she was doing it...but then again...she might have done it for a reason. I hate it when you have to try to "figure things out". I wish people would just be straight-forward and say what they really mean. If she was "blessing " you ..she should have said "God bless you" or "Many blessings" or "I hope this multiplies" etc. Please go back and ask her what it meant. (AND LET US KNOW WHAT SHE SAID!! ) lol (REALLY!!)
Reply:maybe shes just lke that.. some people are weird.
Reply:she wanted to make sure you didn't drop it.

The strangest thing? what do you get from this?
i just came out of wal-mart about to get into the car. as im unlocking the doors i noticed this woman walking towards my direction and she gave me this look as if she knew me or somebody that i knew. so as soon as i got into the car about to shut the door she asks me " Can i read your palm?" and i politely said no thank you. Now it was something about this woman that i have a feeling about. i just cant put my fingers on it. She walked around the whole parking lot, which is big, and she passed some ppl and didnt ask them anything. Most ppl who solicite usually go to everyone they see, but she didnt. Later on in the car my mom said to me that it was something about me that made her want to ask me that. I thought maybe she wanted some money or something. And i dont believe in letting ppl do palm readings or psychic readings at all. the lady had on some clothes, but she didnt look like a normal person. she didnt have any disabilities. she looked normal but didnt seem it. my mind wonders
The strangest thing? what do you get from this?
Hi
A psychic walked passed in south philly about 2 months ago and did the same thing, I am not too sure about this. I think they look at your eyes to see if they are compassionate or hard core. If you look hardcore they will pass you by.
Make sense??

Fortune teller, Georges Street Market, Dublin?
Has anyone been to see this lady? She was recommended to me by a friend, I went to see her myself at the weekend, was just wondering if anyone had any experience and could tell me how she was/how accurate? I got my palm read.
Fortune teller, Georges Street Market, Dublin?
dont trust
she will only take your money
she got no power... just guessing things and checking on ur face if she's right or wrong
Reply:Well my friends parents went to see her about a month after he took his own life; i met up with them later that night and seriously the stuff she had told them even freaked me out when they filled me in (about how accurate the circumstances were and who he was with "up there") and im an agnostic and a sceptic of fortune tellers!
Thats my input!
Reply:fortune tellers make there money by guessing probability please dont waste your time and money listening to a fortune teller
if people could read the future do you really think the world would be in the mess its in now?
Reply:If you distrust this lady, I can tell your fortune myself. Now let me see, yes, something is coming through right now. It's getting clearer and clearer. Oh, yes, I see it now. You are starting on a new enterprise soon, you are trying to gain financial advantage of a substance, or invention, that a friend of yours has managed to develop along lines never before thought of. You are going to make a great deal of money in this enterprise with the help of your friend, who only has your interest in mind. And he will do all he can, with great effort, to make a success of the enterprise. It will make you quite wealthy and women will find you very attractive from your alert and cheerful personality, that seems to spread affection and love to all God's creatures. You will live a full life, and die of old age, in bed, after a strenuous day's work. That left you very tired. But content with your life's success. Ten dollares please, or euros (if thats what you have). Good day, and God bless.

A middle aged woman attended a seminar with a bunch of young adults.?
As she was sitting there, she heard a buzzing sound coming from the oung lady sitting next to her. The young girl gently touched the palm of her hand and said to the olderlady, "That is my pager. I had it implanted in my hand to keep from losing it." The older lady just scoffed and turned her attention back to the speaker. A little later, the older lady heard a ringing sound coming from the young lady on the other side of her. The young lady simply touched her forearm and said the the older lady, "That was my cell phone. I had it permanently implanted in my arm because I was always leaving it places." Again the older lady just scoffed and turned her attention back to the speaker. A couple of hours later, they broke for lunch. The older lady went to the restroom. Upon exiting the restroom, the two young ladies informed her that she had toilet tissue hanging from her skirt. Well, not to be outdone by the younger, technical generation, the older lady simply replied,

Here is a cool Poem,,, A novice Poet I become, an experienced soul I am,, comments and "your" thoughts on how you felt when reading.
Color my World"
Clear blue skies, Palm Trees that blow whispers in night,
Oceans green blue and gray, caps of enchanting white,
Sands of spattered cream, shells that endlessly shine,
Lady Godiva appears, my vision of goddess is consigned.
To this picture of beauty in front of me, oh the joy I feel,
Naked brushstrokes flow freely, my soul begins to heal.
You color my world, bedroom eyes matching the calming sea,
Mesmerized by your movements, you set my inhibitions free.
Mountains they rise, the backdrop of this place quiet, serene,
My heart on fire, you color my world, your soul, pristine.
Completing the cycle, the cycle of love, just you and me...
Lay with me now, and.... "Color my World Tom ,, 10/07

23 weeks pregnant - This morning my hands started itching! They've been itching all day... What's up?
This morning in the shower my hands starting itching, mostly my palms.
What could be causing this? Is it just one of those normal crazy pregnancy things or is it cause for concern?
I have an appointment next week and I'll be sure to mention it just in case but I just wanted to get some opinions from you ladies.
I'm 23 weeks.
Thanks in advance!
23 weeks pregnant - This morning my hands started itching! They've been itching all day... What's up?
Dry skin can be a factor in itching during pregnancy; however, there are also other causes of itching that are due to conditions that some pregnant women get. Make sure that you tell your ob/gyn about the itching so that you can be evaluated if it's not simply just dry skin.
My niece, who just gave birth to her second child a few days ago, had a condition called cholestasis in pregnancy, which has to do with the liver not working properly and there is an overload of bile in the system. It's something that needs to be taken care of right away b/c it does have complications.
http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnan...
She was dx'd with it during her first pgcy at around 35 weeks, and they were discussing inducing her, but she ended up going on her own. This time around she began to itch sometime last week. There is a 60-70% chance of a woman coming down with this condition during subsequent pregnancies. Sure enough, this was the problem again, and my niece was induced on Monday at 38+wks. Both babies were fine, and my niece is fine so far, though the liver levels are elevated.
There is also a condition known as PUPPPS...
http://dermatology.about.com/cs/pregnanc...
I wish you all the best. Please talk to your doctor about the itching.
Reply:Tell your doctor about this! There is a condition called cholestasis that is very serious but manageable. (I know because I have it now.) Itching on the palms and soles of your feet is a telltale sign. It is very rare, about 1 in 1000 pregnancies, but serious. I was diagnosed with cholestasis at 29 weeks. The prognosis is LOTS of testing. I go in twice a week for sonograms and get my blood tested every other week (every week if the results show rising levels of bile in my blood). And you will definitely get induced for labor around 37 weeks.
Reply:I think some itching can be normal. The blood flow increases to your skin, so it can have some weird side effects. However, my cousin had a problem where her liver was secreting bile to her skin and she itched CONSTANTLY through her third trimester. Just talk to your doctor to rule that out. It can result in some serious problems if it's untreated. Good luck!
Reply:I had the same problem when I was pregnant. Nothing to worry about it is very common. Just your hormones acting up again. But definitely mentioned it to your doctor. and if it gets too severe call your doctors office. Trust me they get calls and questions like this all the time.
Reply:http://www.baby-pregnancy-ultrasound-3d-...
There is some good info on this website about the strange things that happen while pregnant...BTW: I just asked a question about itching earlier today and found out maybe I have one of these conditions. good luck.
Reply:This has nothing to do with being pregnant. Your skin is probably dry, which explains the itching. I get eczema on my hands and when they get wet, they get super itchy.
Reply:Most likely its just hormones. My feet started itching a few weeks ago and i get itchy every now and then.
Reply:if you just got out the shower you probably just need lotion my hands are like that all the time after i get out the shower
Reply:i think its just that the weather is dry///.. lotsa things happen in preg. not all have good reasons... the itching will pass

Name this movie (I dont remember the name of it)?
It's an Asian movie, it's not very old (maybe 04-06). The movie it's an action/comedy. I remember the main character been not very old very skilled in artial arts and stunts (not so credible, kind of Dragon Ball Z, they fly run very fast, like in a japanese cartoon) and anoher main character it's the land lady of the building he lives in, he tries to kill her sometimes unsucsessfully. Remember the effects been good ones, the fighting sequences are cool, with lots of wires and secret techniques like the turttle one or the palm also. THANX hope u do know this one
Name this movie (I dont remember the name of it)?
...you're talking about the out-and-out riotous and outrageously funny martial arts comedy, "Kung Fu Hustle", from 2004, and starring/directed by Stephen Chow...
...if you liked this film, get ready to stay tuned, 'cause there is a sequel in the works, for 2008...
...for the time being, in case you have not seen it, you might also want to check out Stephen's previous (and equally funny) martial arts comedy, "Shaolin Soccer", from 2001...

Clear blue skies, Palm Trees that blow whispers in night,
Oceans green blue and gray, caps of enchanting white,
Sands of spattered cream, shells that endlessly shine,
Lady Godiva appears, my vision of goddess is consigned.

Naked brushstrokes flow freely, my soul begins to heal.
You color my world, bedroom eyes matching the calming sea,
Mesmerized by your movements, you set my inhibitions free.
Mountains they rise, the backdrop of this place quiet, serene,
My heart on fire now, you color my world, your soul, pristine.
Lay with me now, and.... "Color my World"

Ladies, where are the gorgeous GOOD girls at?
Here's some background: I'm 25, I moved to Tampa Bay, FL area a few months ago and for my job I travel around the state to hotels (only job I've ever liked) and do work for them. I meet great possible girls through the job but the problem is that they're far away and I'm not up for the long distance thing so I don't take it there. About 6 months ago I broke up with an ex of 4 years because we just grew apart. I'm not jaded or all messed up over her it just didn't work out.
Ladies and Gentlemen, where would you suggest I go to meet GOOD girls? Ive been to the clubs in South Beach, Miami, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale etc but I am looking for quality girls and not easy girls. I want that which isn't common. Help a guy out! -J

meet girls at respectable places. Not bars ro clubs,.Library- cofee house- church. gym. get a hobby. take night classes ina rt or something where you can meet a good woman. have a friend hook you up with a good gir.l
Reply:troubledone hit the nail on the head. that's what i was going to say. no sense repeating answers here, but i'd take her advice.
Reply:Find a church you like. Don't go for the girls. Find somewhere that is in line with your beliefs. That way, if you meet someone there, they are likely to have the same moral guidelines as yourself. I wouldn't recommend going to clubs for girls. I consider myself a real good girl and I never go to those places and even if I did and a guy approached me, I wouldn't go out with him because that's not where I would want to meet someone.
A lot of churches have great singles groups. You might also want to try joining community activities. The more new places you experience, the more likely you will be to meet good quality girls. Believe me, we're all over the place.
Reply:There are plenty of girls who are good and good looking me for example....you just have to keep your eyes open, look for places you may see good girls, church, malls, sometimes bars, schools. You just have to look.

Incapacity benefit medical help?
I went for a medical yeterday as Im suffering from severe depression and anxiety, im also cing a phycologist. the lady I saw was great. when I first went in and started talking I immeditaly broke down in tears. Is this all based on points system wheter u carry on getting benefit? I did make an effot with my apperance but I always do as Im self consious about my apperance. I dont sleep well maybe 5 hrs max a night and told them I need help with my 15month old. I also have blackout every month. I also told them I have to leave certain circumstances if I feel a attack coming on e.g. she said if u were in a supermarket and there was lots of people and u felt anxious would I leave or stay in q. I said Id HAVE to leave. I also said when I feel anxious my palms go sweaty, my heart beats faster and it feels like I have a 50stone man sitting on my chest and the sweat is running down my back. she also mentioned my weight as I have went from 8st10 to 7st. and dress size 8 to under a size 4 (uk)!
Incapacity benefit medical help?
Your anxiety is obvious to me, as someone who has some experience of this situation I would advise you to calm down and try not to worry (easier said than done I know) as I feel sure that the decision for benefits will certainly be in your favour.
And yes it is based on a points system called 'Descriptors' which awards you points on your physical and mental health at the time of the medical examination
If an appeal is required please do not hesitate to contact your local citizens advice bureau who will I assure be only to happy to help you with your claim though I do not expect it will come to this.
Good luck to you now and in the future you will be in my thoughts..
Reply:Hi i am in pretty much the same boat as you i lost my mum and brother in 2005 i went back to work for a2 months then couldnt handle it anymore and have been off sick ever since. i also suffer from depression and anxiety. when i first left work they put me on incapacity benefit then they changed me to income support. if you are like me and have all the backing of your doctors behind you then they cant do much about it. i like you worked all my life (im 24) and hated the thought of claming benefits but like the lady int he job centre said to me you have paid in all your life and have a valid reason so why shouldnt you claim. so basically what im trying to say is if they do stop incapacity you will most liekly get income support after all you have a child to look after they can tleave you stranded with nothing. And like i said as long as you have doctors notes they cant do diddly squat. hope this all makes sense!
good luck xx
Reply:I sympathise, but i don't understand/see your question. You NEED to eat. The world is not always a nice place, but we have a duty to TRY and fulfil our body's needs. Good luck. I would be very surprised if you aren't awarded Incapacity Benefit - try (not easy) not to worry.
If for any reason, they fail your claim, you can always appeal. The Citizen's advice Bureau are always willing to help.
Reply:I wish you well with your IB claim but I cant believe you said "I've worked all my life". You are only 26. You spent more years at school than working so you've hardly paid anything into to the system. You've got another 40 years of working life to come yet. Good luck with your claim anyway.
Reply:Incapacity benefit is an earnings replacement. It can only be assessed by the descision makers at the DWP. You will recieve a letter telling you if your claim has been successful. If you have been turned down, you may appeal against the descion made. As you have a small child there is no reason why you should be forced to go to work. You should be able to claim income support and child tax credits. If you live on your own with your liltle one you should be able to get Housing Benefit and council tax benefit too. You should contact your Citizens Advice Bureau for a benefit check. I think you need to maybe get a second opinion on your health issues. You obviously need some extra support. Check with the CAB's local information and see if there are any support networks in your area.

Bumps that come & go on wrists and knees?
it all started witch my palms being really itchy as i was in the store buying some lotion for my hands my wrists broke out... (its just spots that swell up eventually making one big white swelled up spot) after i put the benadryl itch stopping creme on it, it went away... the next day i helped to clean out a shed where there were dead spiders and lady bugs, a lot of spider webs with some spider eggs... that day my knees and feet broke out the same way my wrists did the day earlier... now this has been going on for about 5 days... it comes and goes...
Bumps that come %26amp; go on wrists and knees?
may have gotten bitten by something in shed if it goes away with benadryl that's good. Maybe a trip to the Dr. will help figure it out what it is and give you something to make it go away for good

At a distance Abner was running as fast as he could hoping that he would not miss the selection. Only ten remained. People held their breath not knowing who the chosen one would be. Abner ran ......crossed the village nearing the grounds......by now only three remained. Everyone waited in anticipation ....yet another participant walked away as he was not selected.....now only two remained.....a young lady who looked like she had been trained for dueling with spear and a mage who seemed to turn pale by the atmosphere of suspense. The lady came forward.....hesitating every step she took...drawing nearer and nearer to the orb.....the orb which was dark all the time suddenly glowed for a split second....but went dark again......she walked away......at that very moment every one present in the ground burst into applause considering that the guardian was the mage who stood there frozen not knowing what to do.....Abner made it just in time to witness the mage who was declared to be the chosen one approaching the orb. He stood in front of the orb….nothing happened. Getting impatient the mage paced his palm on the orb. At that very moment a strong repelling force hit the mage hard on his chest ad he was thrown back with a great force. All the people who were a moment ago cheering for their “supposed to be” new guardian became silent. They all looked at the orb confused…..even Rolan didn’t understand what just happened. Abner pushed himself through the crowd to see what was going on. Suddenly the orb started glowing with great intensity. Every one was blinded by the light emitted by the orb. Slowly the intensity of the light decreased…but it continued to glow. Rolan glared at the orb with eyes wide open. Then something very strange happened. The orb emitted a distinct ray of red light towards the crowd. People jumped out of its way trying to avoid it. Abner couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He was completely stunned. Though he tried Abner was unable to move out of the way. His felt like his feet were glued to the ground. The ray of light collided with Abner and within no time he was completely engulfed in red light. Only the outline of his body was visible. The orb began to deform itself. It turned into what looked like raw source of energy expanding itself into a definite shape. The energy grew lager and larger and after sometime there was a huge explosion. All the people ran blindly in random directions to save themselves from the explosion. The entire ground was covered by a layer of smoke and dust rising in the air. As the smoke slowly started to clear out everyone was bewildered on the sight of something spectacular…something that mesmerized all the people. It was the sight of a dragon. The dragon was as tall as two men from head to toe. In addition to its four grasping limbs, it had large taloned wings a long powerful neck and a spiked tail. The dragon’s body was completely covered with tough shiny red scales that overlapped each other very neatly. It’s under wings were completely black. It stood there motionless, its huge red eyes constantly staring into Abner’s who was just standing just a few feet away from the dragon. Abner slowly walked towards the dragon. He was not in control of his motion. He was afraid to approach it, yet a strong force attracted him towards the dragon. Ariana seeing him walking towards the dragon shouted helplessly,” Abner! No!” She ran towards him when Rolan caught Ariana by her hand and said calmly,” There is nothing to worry, your son s the chosen one. And the dragon is his companion which resembles his valiant and brave heart.” Ariana looked at Rolan and then towards Abner who was now facing the dragon both staring into each other’s eyes intensely. Abner lifted his hand and moved it over the dragon’s head. Then he put his hand down and walked a step back as the dragon stretched its wings. Rolan and the king came forward. Ariana came running to Abner and hugged him tightly. Arian said as she wiped her tears “Abner! Are you all right? I was so worried about you!” Abner said weakly “Mother, I am fine. But I can’t believe what happened now” Rolan smiled at Abner as he walked towards him and said,” Welcome my boy. You are the fifth guardian. “The Flame Guardian”. From now you bear great responsibilities on your shoulders. Be humble with the extraordinary power that you are gifted with.” All the people present in the ground slowly walked forward. Rolan continued,” This fabulous companion of yours is a uniquely powerful dragon gifted with powers of the element fire. From now you and your dragon share a bonding with each other which you have to strengthen. Love your companion, win his trust.” ”Anyways! What name have you decided to keep for your dragon Abner?” smiled Rolan. Abner looked back at the dragon who was now exploring the surroundings which were totally new to him. Suddenly the name “Amber” came to his mouth. “Amber eh? Well the name symbolizes the dragon quiet well!” said Rolan. Abner nodded still unable to swallow the incident that occurred moments ago which has now changed his life completely. The entire crowd applauded for their new guardian, Abner. People went up to him and congratulated him, patted him on his back. Everyone looked happy. But this happiness was short lived. Moments later the skies suddenly turned dark. The ground rumbled. All the people were silenced. Amber looked agitated. He stood up high and roared. Rolan stood alert, his staff glowing brightly. The air turned cold and dry. All of a sudden the ground started shaking and dark figures rose from the ground like ghosts. They had a murky appearance. Like shadows they moved. People ran blindly to save their lives. Amber immediately locked his eyes at two dark figures approaching towards him. He opened his mouth wide open, exposing a set of razor sharp teeth and shot a ball of flame at them. The ball of flame hit the two dark figures and exploded killing them at the spot. Rolan quickly got down and positioned his staff towards the sky. The dark figures seemed to completely draw life out of the people who came in their way intentionally or unintentionally. Rolan was murmuring some chants under his lips. Four dark figures headed for Abner who was looking for his mother. They surrounded him and began to suck the life out of Abner as he looked at them helplessly. He felt his feet turn numb. He no longer had the strength to support himself on his feet. As he knelt down felling weak and helpless from a distance he saw the staff of Rolan emit a light blue wave which spread all over the ground…..and then everything went dark.

Decent story, has a lot of potential, however, your "voice" keeps changing throughout the piece. One moment it is using 'past' descriptive and another it uses 'present'. It weakens the story a bit and if you fix it, it should increase the impact your story has when read. Also, you might want to try more description on what your main character is feeling.
"Abner ran ......crossed the village nearing the grounds......by now only three remained. Everyone waited in anticipation ....yet another participant walked away as he was not selected.....now only two remained.....a young lady who looked like she had been trained for dueling with spear and a mage who seemed to turn pale by the atmosphere of suspense."
Ok, for one, that is a really long couple of sentences that could be shortened and their impact intensified with a few changes. Maybe like this: "Abner ran as fast as his legs could carry him, his breath heaving in and out of his chest with exertion, sweat pouring down his back to drench his shirt. Nearing the grounds, he saw that only three more contestants remained. His heart skipped a beat, his pulse throbbing in his veins with elation or dread, he couldn't tell which. Tension coiled through the air, thick and insidious as another competitor hung his head in defeat, exiting the grounds. Abner tripped into the clearing, excitement crawling through his veins as he took in the scene around him. Only two participants left. One was a young girl, tall and proud, holding a wicked looking spear in a dainty hand. The second was obviously a mage, his complexion so pale that it seemed to fluctuate with the mounting anticipation."
Ok, that might not be very good, but what I'm trying to say is that giving a few more details like that throughout your story helps carry the reader along with it, makes them feel almost like they are the ones living this scene instead of the main character. If you can do that, give more details and use high impact words, you should be able to turn this good story into a great one.
Hope that helps.
PS: "Amber's eyes locked instantaneously with his as two dark figures loomed closer."
"His strength gone, he stumbled and fell to his knees. Helpless, he could only stare as Rolan raised his staff high in the air, then shoot out a cerulean wave that encompassed everything in it's path before his world went dark."
I know some of the things I wrote as a suggestion are not how you wrote it or meant it to sound, but you can easily fix that to make it your own. I just wanted to show you a few things that might help.

My 5 or 6 week old kitten has been eating the litter and now has loose stools...?
A lady dropped this little kitten off at our house claiming that she was at least 8 weeks old... the kitten fits in the palms of my hands. Just recently she started having loose stools and whenever we rush her to the litter pan she starts eating the litter. Could the loose stools be related to her eating the litter?
My 5 or 6 week old kitten has been eating the litter and now has loose stools...?
Most definitely but the reason why she is doing this is because 1- she had a change in diet, 2-she is hungry 3- she has parasites or 4- she has a vitamin deficiency. Keep dry food always available for her and buy a tube of multivitamins in the pet store as well as a de-wormier. The stool will change its consistency as soon as she gets betterGood Luck
Reply:absolutely!!!
It can go both ways too..could cause constipation or diarrhea.
maybe try a different brand of litter? something that isn't really fine because if it gets stuck in their paws they'll also ingest it.
I know where there is something called "yesterday's news" it's made out of recycled paper, and is much bigger.. so she may not be bothered with it. maybe try cleaning it out really really well.. perhaps a scent in there that she's smelling?
You could also try putting some scented litter powder in there.. may turn her off with the smell.
good luck!!
Reply:Litter isnt good for her to eat. But its probably worms. Most all babies have them and need Vet worming medicine ( Not the stuff over the counter). Are you feeding her kitten food? And no cows milk. Milk replacement for kittens is whats needed.
Reply:Try feeding her small meals of minced cooked chicken which will help with the loose stools and switch her litter to one of the natural kaolin/clay based ones, which if she still eats it will help stop the diarrhea rather than aggravating it. She will also need worming, but I would wait until her stools are firmer as the worming meds can have a scouring effect on their own

Help!! i have a kitten that i got about two weeks ago and its been "hell on paws" ever since.?
ok first the cat was a stray given to me by my aunt. one of her neighbors put it out on the street when they moved. i couldnt resist it because he is sooo cute. i wouldnt say that he is an adult cat yet i think he is about 8 months old or so. he is off white with tan edges i figured that i'll get him his shots, get him fixed and the whole nine yards. ok the concern im having is that i find myself cleaning out the litter box like every day. which is caused by his excessive bowel movements. i stopped giving him wet food but realized that he was doing this even before i gave it to him. i don't give him milk and i don't give him table food. what could be cauisng him to do this? usually the amount he does is about the size of the palm of an average sized ladies hand with it being light brown in color and very liquidy. i thought cat feces was supposed to be solid. sorry for being so graphic but this is the way it is. also helooks as though he is not gaining any weight becuae of this. help!
Help!! i have a kitten that i got about two weeks ago and its been "hell on paws" ever since.?
First off- take the cat to the Vet ASAP. That way you can get him checked out, and make sure he's okay. If he has diarrhea, and not gaining any weight, its probably parasites. Don't try any of the over the counter remedies, these can potentially be bad for a cat, also, some of the parasites are transferable to Humans.
Also, I would feed him a high quality cat food. Royal Canin, Solid Gold, Nutrena. Science Diet and Iams are okay, but not that great. The food will be expensive, but you will feed him less, and the cat will use the litterbox less. It costs something like a few cents more per day to feed him high quality cat food vs low quality.
Reply:Take him to a vet could be numbers of things wrong with him. Your best bet is to take him to the vet asap. No one can really diagnose the problem over the Internet. I am sure if you take him he will be okay though!
Reply:Take him to the vet first...he could have parasites that are causing the diarrhea. Secondly, rather than feeding him grocery store food feed him premium food. Grocery store food is full of fillers and junk they sweep up off the floor...with premium food it is much easier to zero in on whatever could be causeing his stomach irritation and cut it out of his diet altogether. Premium food such as Nutro, Iams, or Science Diet seem more expensive but you actually have to feed the cat much less of it for the cat to get the right amount of nutrition...and that equals less poop. Once you find a food that is really good for him stick to it and don't switch it for anything...chicken and oatmeal is a usually a sure thing...lots of animals have beef and rice allergies.
Reply:Your cat has worms. These could be hook worms, roundworms or even tapeworms. He will need to see a vet as over the counter treatments only treat one of the possible worms. If you are not seeing worms in his feces then he needs a vet as the over the counter is not made for the parasites he has.
Also, as a stray, he may be eating more than is safe for him. Don't leave food down all day. Give him food at a certain time of day. The bag of food will have it's serving size on it. Also, look at the food your using. If it's a generic, it may have too much filler and not enough nutrients.
Reply:Try changing the food you are giving him. Go to naturapetproducts.com and read all you need to know about cat nutrition.
I don't think the cat is sick at all. Read the ingredients of the food, corn and wheat products are not good for cats neither is any plant material. By products of any kind are bad so is "animal digest" Good luck
Reply:I have a 1year old male cat and I have worked at animal hospitals in the past. First of all, I would like to point out that if you plan to own a cat, you will need to clean the litter box every day. Most kitties are picky about how clean the box is.
The fact that your kitty was a stray and has diarrhea suggests that he has parasites. You definitely need to bring the cat to a vet's office for a checkup, vaccines and to diagnose the diarrhea.
In the meantime, keep him on a diet of cat kibble only. No human foods, no wet cat food. If you think he is less than 1 year, try Kitten Chow.
Reply:You might want to get the cat checked out by a vet...since there aren't any diet changes, you never know, he might have a parasite or something..
Reply:whiskas cat food should be the best idea! stick to chicken flavor all cats seem to love that. a home alternative could be overcooked rice mixed with a boiled egg's white only! by the way i dont think hes much of a kitten if hes eight months! having to clean the litter box everyday is normal! even mine craps alot! make sure you provide plenty of water! they cant digest without it!

Also, as a stray, he may be eating more than is safe for him. Don't leave food down all day. Give him food at a certain time of day. The bag of food will have it's serving size on it. Also, look at the food your using. If it's a generic, it may have too much filler and not enough nutrients.
Reply:Try changing the food you are giving him. Go to naturapetproducts.com and read all you need to know about cat nutrition.
I don't think the cat is sick at all. Read the ingredients of the food, corn and wheat products are not good for cats neither is any plant material. By products of any kind are bad so is "animal digest" Good luck
Reply:I have a 1year old male cat and I have worked at animal hospitals in the past. First of all, I would like to point out that if you plan to own a cat, you will need to clean the litter box every day. Most kitties are picky about how clean the box is.
The fact that your kitty was a stray and has diarrhea suggests that he has parasites. You definitely need to bring the cat to a vet's office for a checkup, vaccines and to diagnose the diarrhea.
In the meantime, keep him on a diet of cat kibble only. No human foods, no wet cat food. If you think he is less than 1 year, try Kitten Chow.
Reply:You might want to get the cat checked out by a vet...since there aren't any diet changes, you never know, he might have a parasite or something..
Reply:whiskas cat food should be the best idea! stick to chicken flavor all cats seem to love that. a home alternative could be overcooked rice mixed with a boiled egg's white only! by the way i dont think hes much of a kitten if hes eight months! having to clean the litter box everyday is normal! even mine craps alot! make sure you provide plenty of water! they cant digest without it!

Tattoo on ur body?
I watched this show on tv called Miami Ink. Abt ppl getting tattooed, it's v interesting to see most ppl like to put in their body for the memory of the dead including pets. And all at least the size of ur palm. Isnt that something?
Then there's this lady who wanna get the look of a leopard, so she's gonna have her body tattooed something like polka dots all over her body .... amazing.
Tattoo on ur body?
Not to sure if this is really a question or just a statement about your facination with the artistry of tattooing!? Now for the most part, people get tattoo's to represent who they are or what they stand for, to remember those who were dear to them and passed away, or to remember certain life changing events that were special to them. There is often a feeling of joy and pride involved with a good piece, knowing that you can always look at it and remember what it was that so important to you when you got it. Portraits of departed loved ones are alot more permanent, and cannot be ruined as easily as a standard photograph, and the thought of knowing a little piece of them will live on through you, can be a form of closure. I have several tattoo's and I know they won't look as great as when I first got them when I'm old and saggy, but they'll still remind me of I youth I once cherished and imbraced. As far a leopard lady, to each there own, if it makes her happy, so be it. It should be noones choice but her own. As for infections in tattoos, that requires proper after care. Let's face it a tattoo is an open wound and should be treated like such until it is healed. Most tattoo's generally heal in a week or two, and if you are that lazy as to not treat it properly in that short of time, maybe you shouldn't get one in the first place. As for hepetitis, it is very rare to get from tattoo's if you go to a sanitized, well maintained shop. Do your reasearch, demand steralized pre package needles, request to see all equipment being used to insure sterility. Common procedure for ink application is to use ink wells, or small holding cups (about the size of a very small thimble) to hold the ink for the tattoo. This insures little waste, if more is needed, more can be added, and prevention of cross contamination of the ink, as the ink wells and any unused ink are thrown out, and not returned to the ink bottles. I hope this gave you a little more information and insight into the world of tattoo artistry. Remeber, good tattoo's aren't cheap, and cheap tattoo's aren't good!
Reply:Yes just imagine how those dots are going to look when she gets old. a dot sag here, a dot sag there. It showed on one show how people with tattoo's look after they start getting older...sure did not look the same.
Reply:I think tattoos are wierd whats the point of getting one it doesn't make you cool. It's like getting 1,000 shots. Plus once it's on it won't come off. It can but it cost a fortune to get it removed. I have seen miami inc though it's a very intresting show I watch it sometimes when it's on.
Reply:I don't know if i could ever get a tattoo...it's permanant and what if i changed my mind later in life? I was thinking about getting one until i thought about when i was old then it wouldnt look the same....at least to me it wouldnt.
Reply:I still don't get it... Why do woman especially get tattooed? For me personally I would not want to put one on my body. I think, no," I know it would look trashy on me." My hubby has my name on his chest and it looks cool but to tattoo all over is really gross even on a man. And if my hubby had not done it a long time ago I would not want him to ever do it. I just heard last night on the news about 44 people that had gotten tats had infections. Nasty. Just too nasty.. Has anyone not heard of HIV, hepatitis.? It happens even through tats it can happen............

In Europe, there's a technic used, instead of CPR, that requires one hit to the upper-chest, what's it called?
I saw a lady that was having a heart attack be revived by a Chinese gentleman, who simply palm-heel struck her in the left, upper chest. I saw him later and asked where he learned it and what it was called and all I could make out from his broken-english was that it was used in Europe and that he had learned it in Honk Kong. I would like to pursue more training like this and more if it exists. One of my other friends does acupunture and they've never seen/heard of it either.
In Europe, there's a technic used, instead of CPR, that requires one hit to the upper-chest, what's it called?
This is called a peri-cardial thump. It is still used and is in the AHA ACLS protocol for witnessed arrest. It produces an electrical charge within the body the is equivalent to between 50-100 joules. Yes, it can revive pts in Ventricular Tachycardia or Ventricular Fibrillation. It does not help with pts in Asystole or "flat line". You really should take a basic CPR course from AHA, Red Cross, or other teaching organization. They will teach you the basics of CPR and what to do for a person who has a Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
Reply:I think you're talking about the hymelic manuver (lol u know i spelled it wrong)
Reply:It is called the "Pre-Cardial Thump" and USED to be taught in the US before the 70's, but it is not a very effective technique. You still see it sometimes on M*A*S*H re-runs.
The 'Thump' is OK if the heart is basically strong and just needs a quick 'restart', but most adults who need CPR have weak or ill hearts that will not restart that way. We use CPR in those situations in order to circulate oxygenated blood until people with more advanced techniques can arrive adn take over.
If the heart IS basically OK, you still need breathing support and more to successfully revive most people.
Even when the Thump was taught, it was assumed that in most cases you'll need more traditional CPR to follow up.

It is one of the first maneveurs that is done in CPR.
I guess if you watch alot of badly dubbed kung fu movie like myself you could call it Buddha's Palm technique :P

Is my kitten's size normal?
I have a 7 week old kitten named "Grandma" (she looks like a little old lady:~). I believe she was the runt of her litter, but she seems extremely small. She still fits in the palm of my hand. A couple of her siblings were 3-4 times her size.She is just now (within the last few days) starting to eat food. Her activity seems good, and she is absolutely a very friendly little cat. What I am wondering is if she might possibl;y be a "dwarf" (?).
Thanks for any input!
Is my kitten's size normal?
It's very common for one kitten to be the runt of the litter. If she seems otherwise healthy, her size will probably not be an issue. I have a brother/sister pair (now 9 years old) and the brother is nearly three times as large as the sister.
I hope you are planning to have the mother cat spayed before she delivers any more kittens!
Reply:When we adopted my kitten she weighed 2pounds and so they thought she was 2 months old. She ate very little. Then I took her to the vet and it turns out she had a kitty cold and massive ear mites. After some meds and love she gained 3 pounds really fast, so she was really a little older and just sick. Make sure a good vet checks her out soon : )
Reply:verry much soo normal. if she's only 7 wks and was the runt, being little is expected. her not eating her food could be her just getting used to her surroundings. it takes a while. but no...i dont think there are... dwarf...cats... just small runts!!!
Reply:Very doubtful, more than likely she is simply the runt of the litter.
Reply:That could be a possibility. It's rare but could happen. She is more likely just a runt.
Reply:She's still very young.
Let her go thru a heat before spaying her so she will be a little bigger %26amp; get secondary sex traits.
Enjoy her...I'm not familiar with dwarf cats.
Reply:yes i think so but ask the vet

Why do Christians only have faith in their own Prophets and not people like Nostradamus?
some people are very accurate prophets of the future but Christians say they are evil yet they (Christians) stand up and prophesy in their churches none of which comes true..
I have been to church so many times and had some person come up to me a prophecy, none of them have come true.
.I went and seen a a lady who read my palms and told me what will happen in my future all of which has come true...on my next visit to church they told me she is evil and works for the devil.. does the devil know what is happening in our lives more then god.. and why do they seem so hypocritical, their prophecy's don't even come true.
Why do Christians only have faith in their own Prophets and not people like Nostradamus?
To the Person with the last reply:
I just have a question. Where in the Bible does it say that Jesus was the last prophet? It seems to me that people refer to many Christians as weirdos because Christians do not act according to the likeness of man, but to the scriptures. Psalms 33:2-3 tells us to Sing unto Him, Psalms 134.2 says to lift our hands and bless the lord, Psalms 149:1-4 tells us to dance. Most importantly, in 1st Corinthians 14 The apostle Paul specifically tells us to desire spiritual gifts. ESPECIALLY the gift of prophesy. For anyone who considers themselves a Christian, these words should be important and true to you, since the Word of God = Truth. Why would he tell us to desire this gift if Jesus was the last prophet. Paul Also tells us in 1 Corinthians 14: 5 " I would like every one of you to speak in tounges, but I would rather have you prophesy"
Does anyone here use scripture for explanation????
So, for those of you who are worried about the people in this forum calling you crazy, you are obviously worshipping the wrong thing. Man is being put first in your life and not God, for if it were the contrary, nothing would be questioned.
Reply:If you have non-Christians being able to prophesy, then what else might the non-Christians be wrong about?
THAT'S the question that people are afraid to bring up in church.....
Reply:Hi, we're Nasrani Christians (India - Australia) -- we believe the last prophet was Jesus -- no other prophets after him can tell the future --- we know a bit about the weird christians in USA - they can not prophecy - its all fake -- they say everyone else is satanic, just as in jesus time the Pharasees said that jesus was under satan ---- you want a comparison like one of the true christian groups in USA like the Amish, you wont find them trying any fake prophecy stuff --- nor churches similar to ours called orthodox --- it sems to be a thing in USA - all the bad weird strange churches -- please dont judge all christians by the noisy weirdos with their fake prophecies -- all the best -- have a good day
Reply:Maybe because "prophets" like Nostradamus have a less-than-perfect record of their predictions coming true. The Bible prophets like, Daniel, Isaiah, and Jeremiah, are right 100% of the time.

They are slaves to a hive mentality that can not survive without majority rule and will perform rituals inorder to keep their state of mind free of logic and question. there are passages in their book that forbid them to research certain subjects because the controlers of the organization know exactly what their main character really is a metaphor for and if the members of that orginazation found out they would no longer be able to profit from their mind controlled slaves.!

I can't remember the name of this book!! HELP?
The book is about a reporter in California, she lives on the crooked street. This is during the 70's I think. She has a themed party and invites palm readers and fortune tellers, and a tarot card reader. I guess the tarot card reader comes late and the repoter lady refuses to pay her (BAD), the tarot card reader curses her and then all this paranormal stuff starts happening. Really bad stuff. This is based on a true story. I'd really like to find this book. Any help is much appreicated.
I can't remember the name of this book!! HELP?
Yeh it's called "The Illiad" written by Homer.

How do I know if he is just being a flirty friend or if he is flirting with me?
Ok these guy and me are good friends and everything but here lately he has been flirting alot more, like he called me his lady luck the other night and today he touched my face and just left his hand there, and when i grabbed his hand he strached my palm with him finger. I don't know what to think! Please Help!
How do I know if he is just being a flirty friend or if he is flirting with me?
Pysical contact is always a sign of flirting and i figure you liked it (hopefully). the best way to tell if he's flirting with you or just being flirty is to see how he is around other females. If its normal behavior dont think much about it. If its out of the box for him...i'd take that as a sign that he might be feelin you.. If all else fails just ask.. "Whats up wit you?"
Reply:Well, maybe he likes you but dont get your signals crossed because guys are complicated especially guy friends, they'll flirt with you when they get horny but when they find someone hotter, they leave you like a bag of sh*t. Trust me, I had a best guyfriend, he would flirt with me non stop and one time, i started to like him as more than just a friend and what do u know, he saw my younger sister, and starting liking HER!! He was such a FUC**** AS*HOLE!
Reply:Love this is great you and him or friends thats very important so in your relationship the rest seems to be falling in place, just like Romeo and Juliet.*

How do I know if he is just being a flirty friend or if he is flirting with me?
Pysical contact is always a sign of flirting and i figure you liked it (hopefully). the best way to tell if he's flirting with you or just being flirty is to see how he is around other females. If its normal behavior dont think much about it. If its out of the box for him...i'd take that as a sign that he might be feelin you.. If all else fails just ask.. "Whats up wit you?"
Reply:Well, maybe he likes you but dont get your signals crossed because guys are complicated especially guy friends, they'll flirt with you when they get horny but when they find someone hotter, they leave you like a bag of sh*t. Trust me, I had a best guyfriend, he would flirt with me non stop and one time, i started to like him as more than just a friend and what do u know, he saw my younger sister, and starting liking HER!! He was such a FUC**** AS*HOLE!
Reply:Love this is great you and him or friends thats very important so in your relationship the rest seems to be falling in place, just like Romeo and Juliet.*

Chapter 4
A Chance of a Lifetime
“Aaron, where is everybody?” I asked as I saw Aaron sitting alone in front of the whaleback ship.“You know how it is Kyra—they had their own things to do. Last night they came because they were curious who I was, um interested in. That’s all.” Alone at last! Alone—with a dragon! Mister caramel lightly dipped in dark chocolate eyes! The eyes that I felt I could meld into…“Kyra. Kyra!”“ Huh?” “ Am I so boring that you have to day dream when you’re with me?” he smirked, gently caressing my cheek.“No! No! I was just thinking.” Whew, if he only knew the affect his eyes had on me. “So Aaron, what are we going to do tonight? Jump in the lake, cascade over mountains, or talk.” I was so busy staring into his eyes that I he had already changed into his dragon form and was flipping me onto his back.“ Aiii…” I screamed, surprised.“Let’s talk” I heard him say in my head as we flew low over the water.“Boat! Boat!” was all I could scream as a boat quickly appeared in our path. I closed my eyes not wanting to see the impact. Instead, I felt the slight shift in Aaron’s body as he coasted out of its path.“You can open your eyes now.” he gurgled and snorted. Was he laughing!“Ya go ahead and laugh at me” I fumed, “You wouldn’t think it so funny if we would have crashed.” His gurgling and snorting continued, he was laughing so hard his body was shaking, tickling me as I hung on.“Stop.. hahaha… that!”
We landed at top of the Aerial Lift Bridge.
The glow of the Duluth/Superior lights were all around us as I gawked at the pristine beauty of the lights, lake and the night. I could see small white shapes floating, reflecting the city lights on the lake.
“Those are seagulls.”“Seagulls? I thought they would find some warm, dry place to sleep on land.” “ Seagulls are opportunists. They sleep in their nests when the have young otherwise they sleep anywhere they are away from their predators, and I don’t think Lake Superior has many predators that can eat a live healthy seagull.”“ Do you eat seagulls?”“ Na, some of the others do but for me they’re too feathery. Yuck! Last time I tried one it took me weeks to get the feathers out of my teeth!” I hope he brushes his teeth! Yuck! Carefully, he set me down on the beam he had been standing on—changing back. The winds off the lake scared me, as they blew I had to struggle to maintain my footing.“Aaron!” I cried as my feet slipped out from under me. I was falling!“Gotcha!” he said in my ear. We were both sitting down, me in his lap, and his strong-arms tightly around me. We sat there in silence—watching. Watching—together—in his arms—clouds float by, the ships cast in darkness on the lake- rolling with a glimmer of light. “Kyra, what did you want to ask me?” His breath tickled my ear.“Huh? Oh!” I said as his voice seeped through the fog of my mind. “I wanted to know why are there dragons here and why this area? In all the books I read, dragons exist everywhere but here!” “ Dragons like humans are everywhere. It’s just we choose to live hidden—if most humans knew we really did exist, they would try to put us in zoo’s and dissect us; trying to find out whether we were more like lizards or snakes. Through history we have learned that humans kill what they are afraid of, even themselves…”
I kissed him. On the cheek- I couldn’t help myself- he seemed so, sad.
“We would rather live in our dragon form, but with humans, living almost everywhere on the earth—if we wanted to survive—we didn’t have a choice.”I started to think about what might happened if someone, anyone who was not willing to keep their secret proved Aaron and his kind existed and who they were as humans.“Aaron, can you choose what you look like as a human?”“No, we can only choose the age.”“Your age! How old are you, as a dragon?” I never thought about how long the legends said dragons could live. I guess I just assumed he was my age even in dragon. “Hmm.. about 225 years old. Give or take a couple years.”“ 225! Than why are you hanging out with me? I’m a little young aren’t I?”Aaron explained to me how dragon age and human age is not the same; just like a dog’s age is not really the same as a human. That in approximation of dragon age he was about the same age as me and had as much to learn about the world as I did. “Feel better?” he laughed, hugging me tighter.“Yes much better, I was starting to think all I was to you was a plaything.”“Never! Are you hungry?”“ A little. Why are you?”“ Famished!”
Did he say famished? Oh no! I never asked him if he ate humans!
“Umm—you don’t eat people do you?” “Only those that annoy me.” He laughed, teasingly. Whew, that was a relief. Feeling playful—I leaned close to his ear and whispered, “I don’t annoy you do I.”
Aaron grabbed me and threw me up into the air of the brisk moonlit night. My scream lost in my throat. He won’t let me fall to my death- right? I was only teasing. I felt the wind blow against my body—suffocating me as I tried to scream-I was going to pass out! I watched as the ground rose to meet me. “Aaron WHAT did I do?” I tried to scream when all of a sudden I was jerked hard upright, thrown into the air once again and landed safely on Aarons back. “I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to scare you. Let’s go eat!” Eat—eat—does he think I feel like eating after almost crashing to my death because of him?“I’m NOT hungry. Humph…” I said, kicking him in the side.“I said I was sorry—what more do you want?” Does he think I am going to talk to him, after what he did?“Kyra, I was just playing. Please, please believe me when I tell you I would have never let anything happen to you!”“ PLAYING, PLAYING! YOU call that playing?”“ I guess to someone who can’t fly, I can understand how they wouldn’t think that as playing.”“ You got that right!”
We landed in a secluded area on the rocky shores of Canal Park.“Where to?”“Follow my lead.” Aaron said once he changed in human form, holding my hand in his and led the way. We only had to walk a little ways before arriving at a restaurant.
“Have you ever eaten here Kyra?”
“Ya, the food’s yummy.”
“Yummy?”
“Yes, yummy.”
He looked confused. Hasn’t he ever heard the word yummy before? He ordered a big steak with all the works, and I politely said, “The same!” as the server took our order. He looked surprised but not as surprised as I was for how bold I was being. Why not? Didn’t he throw me off the top of the Arial Lift Bridge? A girl can really work up an appetite once the shock wears off a near death experience.
“I guess you’re afraid that this might be your last meal?” Aaron said as he laughed from across the table.“Aaron, what do people think when at school you’re in a wheelchair and out of school your not?”“I just make sure to avoid them. Usually after school I am at places they aren’t—unless of course they can change into birds.” “ Why the wheel chair? You don’t need it?”Aaron explained to me how he chose to be in a wheelchair at school; that he couldn’t walk—even if he tried. “Why? How can you walk one minute and than not the next? I don’t understand.”
“We all do—sometime during our lives.”
He looked so uncomfortable—as if he was telling me a deep dark secret.
“So—how about those Twins,” I chirped.
“Twins, aren’t they baseball? We’re in football season now.”
I smacked my head with the palm of my hand. How could I forget it was football season? I lived on the Wisconsin-Minnesota border—all the rivalry going on between Packer and Viking fans was almost as interesting as the sport itself. Our talking ebbed as our food arrived— shoveling bite after bite as if we were starving in our hungry mouths.
“We have to hurry or you’re going to be late!” Aaron said after he paid for our food and left a sizable tip for the server.We rushed out the door, running down the street towards the white and black lighthouse on Canal Park. “Why—are—we going there?” I asked Aaron when we were half way there.“People on the rocks,” was all he said as he grabbed my hand and hurried me along. With a flick of his wrist, I was cast into the air, landing on his back with a thud. I hadn’t even realized Aaron had changed into a dragon all ready. “How do you do that!” I called to him as the wind whipped my voice away, making it a whisper.“How do I do what?”“Change into a dragon so quickly? Isn’t it difficult?”“ It is more difficult for me to change into human form than it is my original form-think about it?”
I suppose it would be just as difficult for a human to change into a dragon—the scales instead of hair, big pointy teeth, and razor sharp claws instead of finger nails. I could name a few people who probably wouldn’t have any difficulties with the claws, since they always seem to have them bared and ready to use. “Ha ha ha,” I was laughing so hard tears streamed down my cheeks—Aaron had to shift to balance me—I almost fell off Aaron’s back.“What’s so funny that you could have fallen to your doom?”“Claws!” I cried and laughed even harder.“Claws? What is so funny about claws?” As we landed in the alley behind my house, I tried to explain to him how some people seemed too always have their claws out. He did not understand until I used a few examples using some kids from school. “Oh, I get it!”I wasn’t sure he did, but I think he understood a little better before I told him goodbye and gave him a quick peck on the cheek – running into the house so I would not be late.
“Kyra! I was worried about you. I tried to call you on the cell phone for the last hour and you did not answer. Well, young lady?” My dad stood in the kitchen with his feet firmly planted shoulder with apart; with his hands on his hips, and glared at me as if I had committed a cardinal sin. He only acted like this when I was seriously in trouble.“Hi Honey. Did you have a good time tonight?” Mom said as she walked in the kitchen and stood next to my dad. She must have heard him because before I could answer she asked for her cell phone back.“Here you go mom.” I said sheepishly as I unclipped the cell phone from my belt and handed it to her. She flipped her phone open, checking it, holding it up for my dad to see than whispered something in his ear as she mouth to him the words ‘sorry’.
“I’m sorry Kyra. Your mom just informed me that she forgot to turn the ringer and vibrate on, before she gave it to you. Next time you use her cell phone-- please check that it is on.” I stood there in disbelief, how lucky I was at that moment. If the ringer or vibrate had been turned on I would have been grounded to my room for at least a week.“Kyra, I was just worried something happened to you. I love you.” I hadn’t run up to my dad in years and hugged him, tonight was an exception. “I love you too dad.” I said as I squeezed him as tightly as I could. He had been so busy much of my life I had almost forgotten how worried he got when I wasn’t safe at home.
When I was in sixth grade, I went to my first sleep over at a friend’s house for her birthday. She lived a long way out in the country, on a farm. While I was getting my stuff ready to go to her sleepover, there was a breaking news report on the television about a recent bear attack in the area. My dad had been so worried that a bear might break into her house and maul me that he forbade me to go to the sleep over. It wasn’t until my mom’s reassurance that I would be safe-- that the news report said, “the attack was from a bear attacking campers in their tents- who did not secure their food properly- not their homes; did my dad finally lift my restriction on going to the party. As my mom and I walked out the door to drive there, he hugged me as if he was never going to see me again. I laughed when the next day my mom told me my dad had dreamed that he was fighting off bears all night, which made it impossible for her to get any sleep out of concern that he might mistake her for a bear.
I dragged myself up the stairs to my room-- dead tired-- I guess all this flying around as a passenger is starting to wear me out. I still had the riddles to solve—tonight I did get some answers only to find more questions. “Goodnight Kyra,” my mom said softly as she pulled my quilt over me, kissing my forehead gently goodnight. “G--night mom.” I mumbled as I drifted off to sleep.
It was still dark when I woke up; my heart pounding in my chest as I jumped to my feet—ready to protect myself from the threat I felt. I glanced defensively around my room, noticing nothing out of the ordinary. That was until I saw a blurred reddish brown –what looked to be a weird handprint on my glass outside my window. As my eyes adjusted to the dim light, I could see that the print was indeed of a hand—a hand just like Aarons in dragon form. “Aaron!” My mind screamed out his name. It was all I remembered as I woke to the sun shinning through my still scarred window, waking me up for a new day.
Chapter 5
The Note
“Nothing’ but a little late fall house cleaning,” I told my mom as she stood in my doorway watching me clean my window. The windows of our house tilt in for cleaning otherwise I would be frantic about how I was going to hide the bloody print sticky solidly to the middle of the glass. I could only wonder if Aaron was playing some sort of prank, was he injured somehow, or if one of the other dragons did this.
“Kyra, I know I usually harp to you to clean your room. It’s forty degrees outside this morning and I do not think now is a good time to clean outside windows.”
I knew she was right. It was getting chilly in my room from having my window tilted open but I was sure she would be freaked out if I had left it the way it was.
I got dressed quickly, and ran downstairs to the kitchen. My mom was in her usual spot at the table – cup of coffee in hand—no dad in sight.
“Where’s dad?” I asked her as I finished pouring a bowl of cereal for myself.
She looked up from the book she had been reading, “Did you forget he had to go to work this morning as usual?”
Now I did it! I made her mom radar go off by asking her something I should have known.
Nervously I Sloshed the milk, I was trying to pour, over the count top “Oops! I’ll clean it up.” I said as I quickly grabbed a towel.
“What is wrong with you today Kyra. First you’re up this morning cleaning your window than forgetting your dad has to work today- it’s not like you- what’s wrong?”
I wanted to tell her about everything. Aaron and his friends being dragons, flying and about the bloody claw print—I was afraid. I was afraid if I did tell her and she believed me she would ground me forever or if she didn’t believe me I would feel betrayed- betrayed that she didn’t trust me enough not lie to her about something this serious. So-- I did the best thing I could do at the time.
Shrugging my shoulders as I spooned mouthfuls of globules into my mouth I mumbled, “I don’t know.” A safe response that most children learn as soon as they can talk to defend themselves from things they do not want to answer.
I felt guilty as I watched my mom silently get up to pour herself some more coffee. My mom like some adults never forgot what it was like being an adolescent; she knew exactly what I was doing. As I glance over to her empty seat I saw the book she had been reading, ‘Norse Mythology’, it was identical to the one I saw Aaron reading in school.
“Mom! Where did you get that book?”
Startled by the urgency in my voice she turned quickly, knocking her cup off the counter and onto the floor.
“Calm down,” she said as she stooped to clean up the mess. “I found it in your backpack. I’m sorry if I upset you—I didn’t think you would mind.”
“Oh, no mom, I don’t mind—I just forgot I had that book, that’s all.” I said as I shoved the book roughly into my backpack.
I glanced cautiously at her to see if she believed me—she did. My stomach felt like it was churning as I realized—she believed me and this time I had lied to her.
What was I doing? I never lied to my mom before—we had an honesty policy. Our ‘honesty policy’ was an agreement my mom and I created together when I was a little girl. It said that we were never to lie to one another unless it was extreme circumstances like the year dad planned a surprise party for my mom and I wasn’t supposed to tell her—because if I did, it would have wrecked the surprise. Otherwise, we were to be honest with each other.
I didn’t really lie though-- I just used the word forgot rather than didn’t know-- Maybe I really did forget with all the things happening. Just maybe, Aaron gave me the book and I unconsciously put it in my backpack. Great! Now, I was lying to myself.
“Oh this fell out of your book,” she said handing me a tattered folded piece of paper. “In case you’re wondering,” she continued, “I didn’t open it. I respect your privacy.”
This morning was turning out to be one of those days when you wished you stayed safe in bed. Filled with guilt for the partial lie and now her declaration of how she respects my privacy I did the only thing I could do.
I smiled an uttered a “Thanks mom,” stuffing the note in my back pocket as I leaned in and kissed her on the cheek before I grabbed my coat and out the door, walking quickly to the bus stop.
Once at school, I scanned the hallways in between class, hoping to catch a glimpse of Aaron, Andrea or some recognition of any of the other dragons I saw in human form my first night at Barkers Island.
Class after class went by without seeing any of them—I was hopeful, that at lunch Andrea would be there, for my mind was consumed by theories about the bloody hand/claw print.
“That maybe it wasn’t blood at all but red clay. Aaron could have gotten it on his hands/claws before he put the book in my backpack when I was sleeping” or “it was just a prank one of the other dragons was pulling to scare me.”
Though my theories were plausible—I could find loopholes in all of them—except two--, one that Aaron was hurt and the other that it was a prank. If only I could find Aaron or Andrea, they might know.
Lunchtime came and I decided to buy my lunch. The line wasn’t very long—grabbing an apple, a salad, and a bottle of water—I proceeded to the cashier.
She looked bored as she said, “$2.20” while she held out her hand for the money.
I reached in my back pocket pulling out the cash I had stashed there when I noticed the note that had fallen out of the ‘Norse Mythology’ book this morning. Hanging on to my two one-dollar bills and fishing in my front pocket for the twenty cents- finding two dimes. I dropped the money into her hand, snatched up my tray, scanned for a seat where Andrea (if she was at school) could find me, and a little privacy to look at the tattered folded paper. I found the perfect table. It was close to the cafeteria doors—so that Andrea wouldn’t miss me—as well as the space was busy enough for now one to care about what I was doing.
I opened the paper carefully; afraid if I hurried I would tear it, and spread the note out in front of me.
...
...
I know I have seen symbols like this somewhere, but where; maybe in history class when we were studying ancient Egypt.
“Hey, I heard their serving ‘wing dings’ today!” A student said loudly to his pal as they walked to the lunch line, disrupting my thoughts.
All through lunch, I studied the note trying to decipher any of it, while automatically taking bite after bite out of my apple. The salad was forgotten.Br-i- ng….the bell rang out; time to move on to my next class. Disappointed, I jammed the note in my backpack, stuffed the leftover lunch in the trash, hopeful that Aaron would be in Biology to ease my fears and explain what was going on.
In the hallway my head started throbbing, at first a dull pain just behind my ear, it steadily increase as I made my way to class. “Stress headache,” I muttered, trying to comfort myself as the pain in my head amplified.
“Kyra.. Kyra…” I heard someone behind me whisper, I turned around towards the sound to see who said it, but all I saw were a sea of faces bobbing to their next class. I must be imagining it, I thought. Until I heard my name, being whispered again only this, time more urgent. “What!” I replied, frustrated as I abruptly spun around and smacked into Mr. Wilson my biology teacher, almost knocking him off his feet. He was so shocked he could only sputter and shake his head as I offered him a quick apology and scooted off to my next class hoping the time would go by quickly. As I sat in class waiting for it to be over; the thrum in my head worsened, I started to shiver from the pain. “Just a little bit longer,” I coaxed myself trying to hold out until biology. Than I would ask Mr. Wilson for a pass to go to the nurses office, but only after I talk to Aaron.
“KYRA!” I heard someone scream, as I started trembling uncontrollably as an intense pain tore through my head. Blinding me as my body plummeted off my chair down to the cold tiled floor. I never heard the bell ring for biology.
“Kyr.. ra..,” a ghostly voice whispered in the night; the moon lighting up everything around me in an ethereal blush; I saw waves undulating far below me, embracing the rocks that jutted maliciously out of the water, reaching for me, calling my name. I teetered on the edge of the precipice imploring my body not to reply. I could only watch, feeling the alarm rise up in me as my arms reached out to them. “Ky…ra” they called, “come to us..” I wobbled, resisting, as my feet stirred moving closer to the edge. Amongst the waves, sitting on the largest rock I could see a gloomy figure, battered and bloody looking up at me with big sad eyes. “Kyr.. Ra” it called up at me, “RUN!” The dark silhouette’s command shocked me out of my stupor. Regaining control over my body and mind, I spun around and ran howling “Noooo…!” as I realize the broken figure on the rocks, had been Aaron in his dragon form. I found myself running through the wood, branches slashing, grabbing at me trying to stop my plight. When I could run no more, I tumbled to the ground and sobbed. I wept for Aaron, wondering if he was still alive or if the crashing tide washed him away. I cried for myself, lost, afraid, and confused. Wondering how I got to the cliff when my last memory was of me sitting safe in my class at school, waiting for the bell to ring, for my next class was biology. The only class I had Aaron in; who might hold the answers that I needed.
A shadow flickered across the ground. Looking up I saw a large dark shape looming just above the trees, directly over my head. I crouched lower, burying my head in my arms, trying to shield myself from its view. “Kyr.. ra,” it sang to me, it words vibrating through my mind, “don’t be afraid.” I heard the rustling of branches as it made its decent. I looked up, startled to see Andrea, my friend, looming over me. She was more beautiful than I remember, as the moonlight shimmered in waves off her dark lavender scales. I tried to find the words to tell her about Aaron, to ask her what was happening, as she gently picked me up and placed me on her back. “Hang on,” she called, her voice soft as a lullaby “I’m here to bring you home.”
Need your help- Writing first draft of novel need some feedback here is part of a chapter-?
Ok...
What you have in your present manuscript is basically a plot outline. It reads ok as play by play but it needs to be more descriptive and draw the reader in. I will try to give you an example, but it will not necessarily fit the character or relationships you are creating. One more point, try to use 3rd person in your narration. It is a bit of a fine sticking point, but 1st person is considered a bit to egocentric for most writing.
Example:
From across the ripening fields or wheat, etched in frames of thatched village hearth smoke, the dragon and child played. Sinister scales of crimson and royal purple reflected the late October sun's last rays as if surrounding them in breathed flame, and yet no malice shown in a dance of equals of friends even from so far away their laughter could not be heard.

Reply:Sorry, but you did not grab and keep my attention in the first couple of paragraphs. If some one is checking a book out either to borrow from a library,or to buy from a bookshop, the first two paragraphs is usually all they read before deciding.
Stay on the subject, don`t dart about, it could be good, sort and tidy it a bit.
Reply:I strongly recommend that you not post chapters of your book (even draft chapters) to any site, including this one. You risk someone taking the copy (or the underlying ideas) and using it as their own. Try joining a writing organization or finding a writing buddy. Also, keep the mystery. Share your writing with a friend or two, but withhold the details from the rest. Too much hype and distribution will kill the book when it's eventually published (and it will be published if you do what 98% of writers don't do--actually finish the book). Good luck!

“Umm—you don’t eat people do you?” “Only those that annoy me.” He laughed, teasingly. Whew, that was a relief. Feeling playful—I leaned close to his ear and whispered, “I don’t annoy you do I.”
Aaron grabbed me and threw me up into the air of the brisk moonlit night. My scream lost in my throat. He won’t let me fall to my death- right? I was only teasing. I felt the wind blow against my body—suffocating me as I tried to scream-I was going to pass out! I watched as the ground rose to meet me. “Aaron WHAT did I do?” I tried to scream when all of a sudden I was jerked hard upright, thrown into the air once again and landed safely on Aarons back. “I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to scare you. Let’s go eat!” Eat—eat—does he think I feel like eating after almost crashing to my death because of him?“I’m NOT hungry. Humph…” I said, kicking him in the side.“I said I was sorry—what more do you want?” Does he think I am going to talk to him, after what he did?“Kyra, I was just playing. Please, please believe me when I tell you I would have never let anything happen to you!”“ PLAYING, PLAYING! YOU call that playing?”“ I guess to someone who can’t fly, I can understand how they wouldn’t think that as playing.”“ You got that right!”
We landed in a secluded area on the rocky shores of Canal Park.“Where to?”“Follow my lead.” Aaron said once he changed in human form, holding my hand in his and led the way. We only had to walk a little ways before arriving at a restaurant.
“Have you ever eaten here Kyra?”
“Ya, the food’s yummy.”
“Yummy?”
“Yes, yummy.”
He looked confused. Hasn’t he ever heard the word yummy before? He ordered a big steak with all the works, and I politely said, “The same!” as the server took our order. He looked surprised but not as surprised as I was for how bold I was being. Why not? Didn’t he throw me off the top of the Arial Lift Bridge? A girl can really work up an appetite once the shock wears off a near death experience.
“I guess you’re afraid that this might be your last meal?” Aaron said as he laughed from across the table.“Aaron, what do people think when at school you’re in a wheelchair and out of school your not?”“I just make sure to avoid them. Usually after school I am at places they aren’t—unless of course they can change into birds.” “ Why the wheel chair? You don’t need it?”Aaron explained to me how he chose to be in a wheelchair at school; that he couldn’t walk—even if he tried. “Why? How can you walk one minute and than not the next? I don’t understand.”
“We all do—sometime during our lives.”
He looked so uncomfortable—as if he was telling me a deep dark secret.
“So—how about those Twins,” I chirped.
“Twins, aren’t they baseball? We’re in football season now.”
I smacked my head with the palm of my hand. How could I forget it was football season? I lived on the Wisconsin-Minnesota border—all the rivalry going on between Packer and Viking fans was almost as interesting as the sport itself. Our talking ebbed as our food arrived— shoveling bite after bite as if we were starving in our hungry mouths.
“We have to hurry or you’re going to be late!” Aaron said after he paid for our food and left a sizable tip for the server.We rushed out the door, running down the street towards the white and black lighthouse on Canal Park. “Why—are—we going there?” I asked Aaron when we were half way there.“People on the rocks,” was all he said as he grabbed my hand and hurried me along. With a flick of his wrist, I was cast into the air, landing on his back with a thud. I hadn’t even realized Aaron had changed into a dragon all ready. “How do you do that!” I called to him as the wind whipped my voice away, making it a whisper.“How do I do what?”“Change into a dragon so quickly? Isn’t it difficult?”“ It is more difficult for me to change into human form than it is my original form-think about it?”
I suppose it would be just as difficult for a human to change into a dragon—the scales instead of hair, big pointy teeth, and razor sharp claws instead of finger nails. I could name a few people who probably wouldn’t have any difficulties with the claws, since they always seem to have them bared and ready to use. “Ha ha ha,” I was laughing so hard tears streamed down my cheeks—Aaron had to shift to balance me—I almost fell off Aaron’s back.“What’s so funny that you could have fallen to your doom?”“Claws!” I cried and laughed even harder.“Claws? What is so funny about claws?” As we landed in the alley behind my house, I tried to explain to him how some people seemed too always have their claws out. He did not understand until I used a few examples using some kids from school. “Oh, I get it!”I wasn’t sure he did, but I think he understood a little better before I told him goodbye and gave him a quick peck on the cheek – running into the house so I would not be late.
“Kyra! I was worried about you. I tried to call you on the cell phone for the last hour and you did not answer. Well, young lady?” My dad stood in the kitchen with his feet firmly planted shoulder with apart; with his hands on his hips, and glared at me as if I had committed a cardinal sin. He only acted like this when I was seriously in trouble.“Hi Honey. Did you have a good time tonight?” Mom said as she walked in the kitchen and stood next to my dad. She must have heard him because before I could answer she asked for her cell phone back.“Here you go mom.” I said sheepishly as I unclipped the cell phone from my belt and handed it to her. She flipped her phone open, checking it, holding it up for my dad to see than whispered something in his ear as she mouth to him the words ‘sorry’.
“I’m sorry Kyra. Your mom just informed me that she forgot to turn the ringer and vibrate on, before she gave it to you. Next time you use her cell phone-- please check that it is on.” I stood there in disbelief, how lucky I was at that moment. If the ringer or vibrate had been turned on I would have been grounded to my room for at least a week.“Kyra, I was just worried something happened to you. I love you.” I hadn’t run up to my dad in years and hugged him, tonight was an exception. “I love you too dad.” I said as I squeezed him as tightly as I could. He had been so busy much of my life I had almost forgotten how worried he got when I wasn’t safe at home.
When I was in sixth grade, I went to my first sleep over at a friend’s house for her birthday. She lived a long way out in the country, on a farm. While I was getting my stuff ready to go to her sleepover, there was a breaking news report on the television about a recent bear attack in the area. My dad had been so worried that a bear might break into her house and maul me that he forbade me to go to the sleep over. It wasn’t until my mom’s reassurance that I would be safe-- that the news report said, “the attack was from a bear attacking campers in their tents- who did not secure their food properly- not their homes; did my dad finally lift my restriction on going to the party. As my mom and I walked out the door to drive there, he hugged me as if he was never going to see me again. I laughed when the next day my mom told me my dad had dreamed that he was fighting off bears all night, which made it impossible for her to get any sleep out of concern that he might mistake her for a bear.
I dragged myself up the stairs to my room-- dead tired-- I guess all this flying around as a passenger is starting to wear me out. I still had the riddles to solve—tonight I did get some answers only to find more questions. “Goodnight Kyra,” my mom said softly as she pulled my quilt over me, kissing my forehead gently goodnight. “G--night mom.” I mumbled as I drifted off to sleep.
It was still dark when I woke up; my heart pounding in my chest as I jumped to my feet—ready to protect myself from the threat I felt. I glanced defensively around my room, noticing nothing out of the ordinary. That was until I saw a blurred reddish brown –what looked to be a weird handprint on my glass outside my window. As my eyes adjusted to the dim light, I could see that the print was indeed of a hand—a hand just like Aarons in dragon form. “Aaron!” My mind screamed out his name. It was all I remembered as I woke to the sun shinning through my still scarred window, waking me up for a new day.
Chapter 5
The Note
“Nothing’ but a little late fall house cleaning,” I told my mom as she stood in my doorway watching me clean my window. The windows of our house tilt in for cleaning otherwise I would be frantic about how I was going to hide the bloody print sticky solidly to the middle of the glass. I could only wonder if Aaron was playing some sort of prank, was he injured somehow, or if one of the other dragons did this.
“Kyra, I know I usually harp to you to clean your room. It’s forty degrees outside this morning and I do not think now is a good time to clean outside windows.”
I knew she was right. It was getting chilly in my room from having my window tilted open but I was sure she would be freaked out if I had left it the way it was.
I got dressed quickly, and ran downstairs to the kitchen. My mom was in her usual spot at the table – cup of coffee in hand—no dad in sight.
“Where’s dad?” I asked her as I finished pouring a bowl of cereal for myself.
She looked up from the book she had been reading, “Did you forget he had to go to work this morning as usual?”
Now I did it! I made her mom radar go off by asking her something I should have known.
Nervously I Sloshed the milk, I was trying to pour, over the count top “Oops! I’ll clean it up.” I said as I quickly grabbed a towel.
“What is wrong with you today Kyra. First you’re up this morning cleaning your window than forgetting your dad has to work today- it’s not like you- what’s wrong?”
I wanted to tell her about everything. Aaron and his friends being dragons, flying and about the bloody claw print—I was afraid. I was afraid if I did tell her and she believed me she would ground me forever or if she didn’t believe me I would feel betrayed- betrayed that she didn’t trust me enough not lie to her about something this serious. So-- I did the best thing I could do at the time.
Shrugging my shoulders as I spooned mouthfuls of globules into my mouth I mumbled, “I don’t know.” A safe response that most children learn as soon as they can talk to defend themselves from things they do not want to answer.
I felt guilty as I watched my mom silently get up to pour herself some more coffee. My mom like some adults never forgot what it was like being an adolescent; she knew exactly what I was doing. As I glance over to her empty seat I saw the book she had been reading, ‘Norse Mythology’, it was identical to the one I saw Aaron reading in school.
“Mom! Where did you get that book?”
Startled by the urgency in my voice she turned quickly, knocking her cup off the counter and onto the floor.
“Calm down,” she said as she stooped to clean up the mess. “I found it in your backpack. I’m sorry if I upset you—I didn’t think you would mind.”
“Oh, no mom, I don’t mind—I just forgot I had that book, that’s all.” I said as I shoved the book roughly into my backpack.
I glanced cautiously at her to see if she believed me—she did. My stomach felt like it was churning as I realized—she believed me and this time I had lied to her.
What was I doing? I never lied to my mom before—we had an honesty policy. Our ‘honesty policy’ was an agreement my mom and I created together when I was a little girl. It said that we were never to lie to one another unless it was extreme circumstances like the year dad planned a surprise party for my mom and I wasn’t supposed to tell her—because if I did, it would have wrecked the surprise. Otherwise, we were to be honest with each other.
I didn’t really lie though-- I just used the word forgot rather than didn’t know-- Maybe I really did forget with all the things happening. Just maybe, Aaron gave me the book and I unconsciously put it in my backpack. Great! Now, I was lying to myself.
“Oh this fell out of your book,” she said handing me a tattered folded piece of paper. “In case you’re wondering,” she continued, “I didn’t open it. I respect your privacy.”
This morning was turning out to be one of those days when you wished you stayed safe in bed. Filled with guilt for the partial lie and now her declaration of how she respects my privacy I did the only thing I could do.
I smiled an uttered a “Thanks mom,” stuffing the note in my back pocket as I leaned in and kissed her on the cheek before I grabbed my coat and out the door, walking quickly to the bus stop.
Once at school, I scanned the hallways in between class, hoping to catch a glimpse of Aaron, Andrea or some recognition of any of the other dragons I saw in human form my first night at Barkers Island.
Class after class went by without seeing any of them—I was hopeful, that at lunch Andrea would be there, for my mind was consumed by theories about the bloody hand/claw print.
“That maybe it wasn’t blood at all but red clay. Aaron could have gotten it on his hands/claws before he put the book in my backpack when I was sleeping” or “it was just a prank one of the other dragons was pulling to scare me.”
Though my theories were plausible—I could find loopholes in all of them—except two--, one that Aaron was hurt and the other that it was a prank. If only I could find Aaron or Andrea, they might know.
Lunchtime came and I decided to buy my lunch. The line wasn’t very long—grabbing an apple, a salad, and a bottle of water—I proceeded to the cashier.
She looked bored as she said, “$2.20” while she held out her hand for the money.
I reached in my back pocket pulling out the cash I had stashed there when I noticed the note that had fallen out of the ‘Norse Mythology’ book this morning. Hanging on to my two one-dollar bills and fishing in my front pocket for the twenty cents- finding two dimes. I dropped the money into her hand, snatched up my tray, scanned for a seat where Andrea (if she was at school) could find me, and a little privacy to look at the tattered folded paper. I found the perfect table. It was close to the cafeteria doors—so that Andrea wouldn’t miss me—as well as the space was busy enough for now one to care about what I was doing.
I opened the paper carefully; afraid if I hurried I would tear it, and spread the note out in front of me.
...
...
I know I have seen symbols like this somewhere, but where; maybe in history class when we were studying ancient Egypt.
“Hey, I heard their serving ‘wing dings’ today!” A student said loudly to his pal as they walked to the lunch line, disrupting my thoughts.
All through lunch, I studied the note trying to decipher any of it, while automatically taking bite after bite out of my apple. The salad was forgotten.Br-i- ng….the bell rang out; time to move on to my next class. Disappointed, I jammed the note in my backpack, stuffed the leftover lunch in the trash, hopeful that Aaron would be in Biology to ease my fears and explain what was going on.
In the hallway my head started throbbing, at first a dull pain just behind my ear, it steadily increase as I made my way to class. “Stress headache,” I muttered, trying to comfort myself as the pain in my head amplified.
“Kyra.. Kyra…” I heard someone behind me whisper, I turned around towards the sound to see who said it, but all I saw were a sea of faces bobbing to their next class. I must be imagining it, I thought. Until I heard my name, being whispered again only this, time more urgent. “What!” I replied, frustrated as I abruptly spun around and smacked into Mr. Wilson my biology teacher, almost knocking him off his feet. He was so shocked he could only sputter and shake his head as I offered him a quick apology and scooted off to my next class hoping the time would go by quickly. As I sat in class waiting for it to be over; the thrum in my head worsened, I started to shiver from the pain. “Just a little bit longer,” I coaxed myself trying to hold out until biology. Than I would ask Mr. Wilson for a pass to go to the nurses office, but only after I talk to Aaron.
“KYRA!” I heard someone scream, as I started trembling uncontrollably as an intense pain tore through my head. Blinding me as my body plummeted off my chair down to the cold tiled floor. I never heard the bell ring for biology.
“Kyr.. ra..,” a ghostly voice whispered in the night; the moon lighting up everything around me in an ethereal blush; I saw waves undulating far below me, embracing the rocks that jutted maliciously out of the water, reaching for me, calling my name. I teetered on the edge of the precipice imploring my body not to reply. I could only watch, feeling the alarm rise up in me as my arms reached out to them. “Ky…ra” they called, “come to us..” I wobbled, resisting, as my feet stirred moving closer to the edge. Amongst the waves, sitting on the largest rock I could see a gloomy figure, battered and bloody looking up at me with big sad eyes. “Kyr.. Ra” it called up at me, “RUN!” The dark silhouette’s command shocked me out of my stupor. Regaining control over my body and mind, I spun around and ran howling “Noooo…!” as I realize the broken figure on the rocks, had been Aaron in his dragon form. I found myself running through the wood, branches slashing, grabbing at me trying to stop my plight. When I could run no more, I tumbled to the ground and sobbed. I wept for Aaron, wondering if he was still alive or if the crashing tide washed him away. I cried for myself, lost, afraid, and confused. Wondering how I got to the cliff when my last memory was of me sitting safe in my class at school, waiting for the bell to ring, for my next class was biology. The only class I had Aaron in; who might hold the answers that I needed.
A shadow flickered across the ground. Looking up I saw a large dark shape looming just above the trees, directly over my head. I crouched lower, burying my head in my arms, trying to shield myself from its view. “Kyr.. ra,” it sang to me, it words vibrating through my mind, “don’t be afraid.” I heard the rustling of branches as it made its decent. I looked up, startled to see Andrea, my friend, looming over me. She was more beautiful than I remember, as the moonlight shimmered in waves off her dark lavender scales. I tried to find the words to tell her about Aaron, to ask her what was happening, as she gently picked me up and placed me on her back. “Hang on,” she called, her voice soft as a lullaby “I’m here to bring you home.”
Need your help- Writing first draft of novel need some feedback here is part of a chapter-?
Ok...
What you have in your present manuscript is basically a plot outline. It reads ok as play by play but it needs to be more descriptive and draw the reader in. I will try to give you an example, but it will not necessarily fit the character or relationships you are creating. One more point, try to use 3rd person in your narration. It is a bit of a fine sticking point, but 1st person is considered a bit to egocentric for most writing.
Example:
From across the ripening fields or wheat, etched in frames of thatched village hearth smoke, the dragon and child played. Sinister scales of crimson and royal purple reflected the late October sun's last rays as if surrounding them in breathed flame, and yet no malice shown in a dance of equals of friends even from so far away their laughter could not be heard.

Reply:I don't think it's a good idea to put your own work like this online, as people might steal it and claim it as their own. In other words, did somebody say "potential plagiarism"? Good luck with your novel!! Report It
Reply:This is a good book i didnt read the whole thing but its good
Reply:wow that was great i wish i could read more keep up the good work. you have great poetical.do you have any publish novels if not you will you are really good.i read the whole thing could not stop .
Reply:Sorry, but you did not grab and keep my attention in the first couple of paragraphs. If some one is checking a book out either to borrow from a library,or to buy from a bookshop, the first two paragraphs is usually all they read before deciding.
Stay on the subject, don`t dart about, it could be good, sort and tidy it a bit.
Reply:I strongly recommend that you not post chapters of your book (even draft chapters) to any site, including this one. You risk someone taking the copy (or the underlying ideas) and using it as their own. Try joining a writing organization or finding a writing buddy. Also, keep the mystery. Share your writing with a friend or two, but withhold the details from the rest. Too much hype and distribution will kill the book when it's eventually published (and it will be published if you do what 98% of writers don't do--actually finish the book). Good luck!

How to handle a co-worker?
One of the ladies that I work with has a many irritating habit, but the one that I find unbearable, is when she Come very very close to my face and talks to me. like a few inches away!! We are of the same height her face in right at mine. She does not do it with others as everyone else is taller than both of us. Sometimes her face is so near that I feel like putting my palm on her face and giving her a push away. She is a very nice person and I really dont want to say anything to her as she is very sensitive and is on medication. What should I do :((((( HELP!!!

"Excuse me please, but please step back away from me". OR -
You step back and if she comes closer, then tell her outright, "Do you mind not getting so close to me when we're talking, it makes me uncomfortable".
That simple! And if she continues to do this just walk away from her, she'll get the message.

Reply:Cover your mouth and cough or sneeze every time she does this. Most people will back off then so they don't catch your "cold."
If that doesn't work turn your head and look away. Then tell her that when someone stands within 3' of your face like she does to you, you see double ( a very common problem, my son suffers from this) which is causing you eye problems and your Optometrist has told you not to look at anything within 3' of your face. Then ask her to please back up to 3' away.
Someone who does this isn't going to respond to a talk about personal space because she doesn't feel threatened when someone is that close to her.
Reply:when she does this, stand back about 2-3 feet.
Reply:Have some garlic. She'll back off.
Reply:Start a conversation about personal space tell her you are kind of odd and need a lot then take a step back when she is too close. She should get the hint. Good luck.
Reply:Just back up a little.

Reply:My son does this. He does it because he's excited about what he's talking about, and he wants to make sure you're listening. He doesn't realize he's doing it, but yes, it can be VERY annoying. As much as you like the person, it's just invasive. I simply let him know I'm listening, by saying something like........oh really? or, I'm listening.......and then step away little bit by little. He's young enough though, I can say something to him about it to teach him. Your case is a little different. You could try the technique I use with my son, or you can just simply be as nice as you can and tell her it bothers you. Good luck.
P.S. My son is on medication too. It makes him open up and talk more. He just can't control it sometimes.
