Aha Rusty! I had always suspected such. Now my suspicians are confirmed!
Thanks Kels for the encouragement and the heads-up on the stick. Oh, the dreaded stick!

Hang in there!!! It's been a tough ride for you, just hold on, I promise it will get better.

Feel better, you have too, you've just been passed 'the stick' by Reb L.

Take care J9,
Kels

The application for being a poetry reader:

Question 1 (short essay): Describe your laugh in relation to one of these historical figures: A) Jack the Ripper, B) Atilla the Hun, or C) Niccolo Machiavelli.

Question 2 (True or False): Laughing manically is what I do first when I receive a new poetry submission.

Thanks Suzanne! We can be in the sisterhood of poets with scars from weird tests together 🙂 I hope this club involves ice cream! This was the fourth time they’ve done it on me – apparently the first couple of people didn’t do it right.
Re: the empty mailbox syndrome: I think all the poetry readers must be on break. Or else they are like, “how can we torture these poor poets further? Let’s not respond to anything! That will drain them of their will to do anything! mwu haahhaha.” Why do I always imagine poetry readers with evil laughs?

O, J! I still have the scar where they nicked me once to make sure that my blood knew how to clot or something. I don't remember what it was for---I *hate* needles though and I'm sorry you're getting so many these days. :-(

If it makes you feel any better there's nothing, and I mean nothing in my mail box lately either, it's so frustrating.
