patwannabe: Three men stood before St. Peter.

"You may come in but don't step on a duck or bad things will happen to you."

They went in and to their dismay, there were ducks everywhere. It was very hard to move around and not step on one.

A few centuries later, one of them saw his friend coming, holding hands with an ugly old hag.

"What happened?" he asked.
"I stepped on a duck."

Several more centuries passed and he met the other friend who was also leading an ugly old hag.

"What happened?" he asked him.
"I stepped on a duck."

Again, a few centuries later, a beautiful blond approached him and said, "I'm all yours."

"Wow", he replied, "what did I do to deserve this?"

"Nothing. I stepped on a duck."
    Cumbrianlass: LMAO! -
    Bellydanser: Yep. Okay. I laughed out loud. -
    adewpearl: Now, that is funny!! :-) -


patwannabe: I didn't realize I'd been away so long. Have been reading and reviewing some, just lost my desire to write. Too many things going on that are making it un-fun to live. No, I'm not planning to do away with myself, but waiting for the other shoe to drop.
    adewpearl: It's good to see you, Pat :-) -
    Shirley B: Dear Pat, Hope things will be looking better for you soon. Happy Easter. :-) -
    Jotting Pen: write it oyt, even if you don't post it, it helps. -
    patwannabe: I'm in the process of making a major move of 3000 miles. It's scary and quick and I don't have time to reply to the reviews that have come in in the last few days. Please bear with me. I will get to them as I can. -
    patwannabe: Well, the other shoe dropped and the "3000 miles away" fell through, but I did land in Bentonville, Arkansas near another daughter. Praise the Lord for family. I'm so blessed. -

patwannabe is a 80 year old widow (after 57 years of marriage) who hates the snow, but lives in it anyway. She has 21 grandchildren, 16 greats, and tutors math and reading during the mornings. The rest of the day and the evening is HERS. She reads, writes, rakes leaves, shovels snow, plays computer games, knits, crochets and quilts. Her writing has been off and on, stop and go forever. Years ago she received $15 for a poem sent to Saturday Evening Post's "Post Scripts", and years ago, she got $50 for a story sent to Ladies Home Journal. That was back when money was worth money. She loves writing children's books but has the normal rejection phobia in which she says to herself, Gotta stop throwing money away on postage. Then she thinks of John Grisham who received 16 rejections for "The Testament" and the rest is history. Dr. Suess' first book wracked up 27 rejections before he found the right publisher. She's sure Harry Potter's "mother" didn't expect to hit the bigtime, either. She's glad she joined and is encouraged by the wonderful reviews she's received for her posts.
