She said the last paragraph made no sense and needed work. And I said, most people read blog posts really fast anyway just to get the gist of it, not to read carefully for content. And she said, "Well, then what's the point? And you call yourself a writer!"<br /><br />So I said, "Well, I'll go in and change it then."<br /><br />And she said, "Never mind, you have 16 comments already."<br /><br />LOL just had to share.

In fact so glad that I can hardly write the word L-E-T-T-U-C-E. And I haven't eaten a salad since June.<br /><br />Theresa, I think generally that's the case with editors when you're submitting normally. Like how lame is it to write "thank you for that nice form rejection." <br /><br />Kittie, I've never been in that situation myself, altho my daughter in law is now. Her husband (my son) has been gone for 3 months. Maybe that's why it made me see things that normally I wouldn't have noticed. Thank you for your kind words.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-55497862406435864232010-09-24T15:54:14.500-07:002010-09-24T15:54:14.500-07:00Yay!!

However, I'd really like to comment about your previous post and Tamara's situation with her husband in Afghanistan.<br /><br />My hub retired from the USMC after thirty years of service. Although I've broadened my interests I still consider myself a military wife. During the thirty years my husband was on active duty, he was averaged out to be deployed 10 of those years.<br /><br />I threw my heart and soul in the MC's family readiness programs during an era when what was needed just wasn't there. To the MC's credit, they responded.<br /><br />Having said that, there's no program that will work unless there is a network of support at home. I just want to reach thru the Internet and give you a big hug. You recognized the situation and responded in a positive fashion.
