I still haven’t given up on that candy treehouse dream. Now, go read leah’s link, before I take a stick to you!

LOL! That is the cutest thing in the world! Can I ride shotgun?

Sure thing, Cat. You can drive!

A Pote mobile! I love it! It’s even better than the Pope mobile! Haha, you’re the best, Julie!

Thanks, Rachel…hee hee. You can drive, too. Or would that be fly?

My pote mobile has a large crack in the windshield. Heavy sigh.

But at least I can read leah’s books! Waiting for payday, as usual…ha!

Have a good one, Rachel.

You’re the pote laurellette, girl! But I still want a treehouse made of candy…
on June 11, 2009 at 10:36 pm Julie

Never give up the dream, Karen!! Yes, someday…as God is my witness…I will have a treehouse made out of candy if I die trying!

What a sweet dream!

Hi Julie, Wow! I’m impressed, by a child who knew what she wanted to do. (Who cares about the money?- I want the candy treehouse, too! And the poet mobile!)

Hi, Annie! A lady came over when I was writing the letter this morning. She kept staring at it. Can you imagine what she thought? I didn’t tell her…just because I’m ornery like that. Ha! Ha! Yep, we’ll get that treehouse someday:)

julie i looked at the books and i’m going to order. they look very good but i will read or order anything you say because i love your work. except my names not really dan. you might know who i am. i just hate to type or comment. i would read your writing even if it’s scratched on a tree trunk with a rock.
on June 12, 2009 at 2:46 am Julie

Thank you, Dan! I appreciate the kind words about me, but I am especially thrilled that you looked at the link and are going to order.

I love leah’s poetry. leah has also done so much for the small press world. She devotes much of her life to bringing good poetry to the people. It’s not getting her rich. It’s something she loves to do and has been doing it for a long time. I’m happy to help spread the word. Please tell your friends. And THANK YOU very much!

Julie, that is so funny. Pote. I wanna be a pote too. Anyway, I’ll check out the fire sale.
on June 12, 2009 at 3:12 am Julie

Thank you, Christine!

I think you are already flying all over the world in your poet mobile. And may you always keep flying.
on June 12, 2009 at 3:34 am Julie

Hi, Brigindo. That’s an awesome thing to say. You always know how to make my day. Thank you:)

on June 12, 2009 at 7:05 am Julie

Come on in, Odessa! There’s plenty of candy for everybody. Ha! Ha! If I don’t eat it all

RE: You’re comment JR’s Thumbprints…why not submit the picture above as a logo entrant. Your chance at $50 is as good as anyone’s and it does exemplify in it’s own way what we are trying to do?

By the by if you are in an area of heavy foreclosure and all that goes with it, you know Detroit as it is today.

Be Well

Hi, mark. It’s nice to meet you. I’d love a chance at fifty bucks right now. My picture is silly, but why not, huh? Thank you very much for commenting. We were in rural northwest Ohio, but not too far from Detroit. We heard a lot of the Detroit news on our stations, and it is heartbreaking. Like many others, we left for economic reasons. A plant closed. No jobs.

(I just realized I’d better delete this paragraph that I posted previously. I’m getting spammed to death already in my e-mail. I don’t mean anyone who visits here is a spammer. I mean those “other” ones who are lurking around out there. They tend to pick up on certain keywords).

I don’t mean to whine. I’ve met so many people who have it MUCH worse than I do. I have a pleasant place to live and food. We’re paying all the bills, even internet…yes! I have education and experience. My car might be a rattle trap with a cracked windshield, but at least I have a car. I can buy gas. And I have hope. Tomorrow, I might get “the call” that ends all my worries. It’s very possible. So many people don’t have the same hope for opportunity that I do.

Please excuse my soapbox here. I just want to stress to everybody not to forget all those people who have it much worse than I do.

I appreciate leah so much. Where else can people buy brand new books of good (I mean GOOD) poetry for a dollar? That means a lot to me at anytime, but especially now.

Thank you again, Mark. I urge all of my artistic friends to take a look at your link for the logo contest. Take care. -Julie

Well, you are a poet and a writer. You already know that lots of money is a relative concept …But we need to get that candy house …
on June 12, 2009 at 4:58 pm Michelle

I want a POET mobile too! x

*************************************************

Ha! Ha! Hi, Michelle! Can’t you just picture that? I’m going to write a poem about it:) -J
on June 12, 2009 at 5:52 pm Julie

Hi, Annamari. So true! Yes, someday…I will get that candy house! Ha! Ha! We can all eat sweets in the trees:)
on June 12, 2009 at 6:22 pm Julie

Have mercy! I just had to laugh at myself over my last speech. I sound like Ralph Kramden. “Baby, someday…we’re gonna make it.” Ha! Ha! Or maybe Orphan Annie?

Amber, stop worrying. We’re fine

Julie, I am back – have to spend sometime checking out everything you have done since last time here. As always you are busy – love the picture, love the fact that you are flying —-
on June 13, 2009 at 12:23 am Julie

Hi, Barbara! I hope you had a great trip. It’s so good to see you again.
on June 13, 2009 at 5:26 pm Poetikat

I love that Poetmobile – was that before or after the Pope’s?

I don’t know that I wrote down that I wanted to be a “Pote”, but I certainly wrote that I’d be a writer.

You’re so lucky to have this. It’s great!

Hi, Kat. It’s sort of a new dream. Ha! Ha! Thanks much.

i want a poet mobile. real bad. i never knew i wanted one until i recently found out they exist, and now i want one. but, only of it’s off gasoline altogether and runs solely on rainbows and leprechaun tears, which would make it a hybrid of sorts, i suppose.

yes, i want a poet mobile. like the pope mobile, only cooler and less pious. like the weiner mobile, only shorter and less phallic. what a scene i would cause driving down the road in my fabulous new poet mobile.

oh, and Propaganda Press puts out some good books. pick up one or two, or three.
on June 15, 2009 at 5:55 pm Julie

Ha! Ha! Justin, you’re making me roll on the floor again. Poor little leprechauns! And rainbows. A hybrid. Hee hee…that cracks me up.

I’m going to start calling my old clunker the Poet Mobile. I want to spray paint it all sorts of colors, but hubby gets mad when I even mention doing it. I guess I’ll have to be grown up for now. Heavy sigh.

Yes, everybody please order if you can. Or at least take a look and bookmark the site. Propoganda Press has awesome titles. I meant to tell everybody to check the entire catalog, too. The sale is cool, but take a look at it all.

Thanks, Justin!

on June 15, 2009 at 8:36 pm Julie

Hi, Juliet! Jump on in. There’s plenty of room in the poet mobile
