Sufficient perhaps to say that I have read through them all more than once and have found them all totally delightful. Some pertinent questions and some light hearted remarks, but all very much valued and taken note of. Thank you all, it is comments like these that remind me why we do this strange thing called blogging!Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-74657753611936424852012-12-03T07:13:23.065+00:002012-12-03T07:13:23.065+00:00Your lines remind me of definitely something...but...Your lines remind me of definitely something...but not exactly someone...I just have experienced such feeling some day and in some place, I think so.haricothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052133324297115131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-38036411858947628062012-12-03T04:58:04.119+00:002012-12-03T04:58:04.119+00:00This is sublime--beauty without someone to share i...This is sublime--beauty without someone to share it with becomes burdensome to the beholder. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-48111964212356627332012-12-03T02:19:36.326+00:002012-12-03T02:19:36.326+00:00Hey Dave, I suggest you delete all those links fro...Hey Dave, I suggest you delete all those links from "Anonymous."
