JoDAlm

@joDAlm your welcome,:)

@Anniemena I'm trying ... thank you.

@joDAlm i hope you feel better soon

@HelenGraul Hi ... I'm sorry you're not feeling well, I also hope that your pain will subside ... I'm probably the last person to ask how to post anything here ... I've tried to vote on things for awards too, and I just got so frustrated I decided not to even try any more (and I was an computer application analyst and programmer in my working life!) ... so, don't feel bad, but if you need help, you'd do better asking someone who knows what they're doing (maybe one of those Ambassadors?) ... I hope you feel better soon ... I'll be thinking of you.

@JoDAlm I do understand and will wait patiently!! :) <3

@HelenGraul Again you are so nice with your compliments.  The story is completely written, it's just trying to get it into Wattpad portions that is the hard part, maybe even harder than the original writing!

@JoDAlm Please keep writing this magnificent story!!!! :) <3

@joDAlm yes it can be a bit frustrating at times but there such loving sensetive dogs,hes no bother at all,the sofa is not all mine because he's always on it with me,curled up,he spends more time off the floor than he does on it,he likes to sleep alot haha

@Anniemena I can see where that would be both comforting and annoying, depending on what you're doing and your own mood.  At least with Jimmy I can put him in his cage and cover it up.  I think 2 hours cuddle time in front of the TV is about all either of us can take!

@JoDAlm he follows me everywhere,there very needy and like to be with you all the time,on your lap or in your bed,where ever you are they want to be,

@joDAlm oh of course I'll be asking about your Jimmy again!,he's the oldest bird I've ever known,I'm his new number one fan haha

@Anniemena 
            Any time you want to talk birds, or anything else, just let me know :)

@joDAlm so did I actually!,I hadn't mentioned or thought about my nans bird in Years nor my own it was seeing your Jimmy that started me off,I saw your profile pic and I thought well I'll be Damned that's a cockateil my favourite bird,well I like your birdie and I like your work too,glad you enjoyed the chat with the gal from England who loves birds haha

@MorrighansMuse 
            Again, thank you so much for reading my story and that brought back some memories ... and also, thank you for helping our men through your profession!  I'm sure it does wonders for them.

@AaronRubicon 
            Nice way to plug your book on MY message board :) ... I decided I needed to do a speed-read so that I was current, otherwise, it would bug me each time I received an email indicating your next chapter was up ... I really enjoy your writing style, very fresh and funny ...
            I'm glad you approve of my 'Battle Lines' it got harder to write as I went on, especially when I've had to rewrite a lot of it to make it 'Wattpad' ready ... it was originally a much shorter story ... hope you won't be disappointed ...

@JoDAlm No problem, just glad you're enjoying it :)  Connoisseur is great fun, but much more off the cuff and it should be a good deal shorter.  Once it's done, I'm pitching in to Book 2 and getting the boys back on the road again!

            I've been meaning to read start reading this, but things got in the way.  I need to catch up because I do much better when I read each new chapter as it's posted.  So please excuse me for not commenting on each chapter yet.  What I've read so far is interesting and has held my attention, so I guess I'm along for the ride (although I do miss my 'boys'.)   :)
