hello kealan. just found this website again. you're still a good writer x

Hi Kealan for your coment I have seen many a young person sleeping on the streets without an address you have nothing if you have a child you get help it's such an unfair world .we are so lucky to have a roof over our heads love Wendy .

Kealan, how wonderful to have you back! I've not been too much on line lately. I'll try to catch up on your work.

bi polar is not usually a condition that 'kills itself' drugs and alcohol have a high percentage hold of that one. people with bi polar usually ride out all of the above creatively and with tremendous resource. id leave suicide to rock stars with too much money for heroin o.ds and make room for a manic depressive with a shotgun pointed firmly from the hip at those who would misunderstand them ;) ive never heard of higher rates of suicide than within the rooms of NA and AA recovery...but yeh interesting article. 50% of 'successful' suicides are drawn out, painful and a result of substance misuse rather than mental illness..but of course the question remains, what is mental illness anyway? an what is suicide?... GUILT usually plays is part either real or percieved.guilt can destroy a person..is guilt a mental illness? you seem to be saying with that post that life is so difficult for the mentally ill that suicide is an easier option. which is kind of funny. life is complicated. suicide is not an easy option. good topic.

Hi Kealan. Thank you for your comments on my poem "Anger". But EWWW! LOL! Thanks

Shirley

Thanks for that - - - can't stop just going on a run

Incandescent are asking for submissions for their second edition chuck - think you should send something off to them. It's a book too, rather than a journal, on or offline.

Just realised, your potting shed - it's a 12 step plan! Haha! Must have been written by an ex AA ;D

Yeh, I used to capitalise every single line until probably only a few months ago tbh. Like you, didn't really think about it, til someone pointed it out, and then when you re-examine the lines, sometimes, it seems better to use lower-case if it is a follow-on from the preceding line, know what I mean? Now I've gone the other bloody way and tend not to capitalise anything!

Hi Kealan, Thanks for your comment on St. Pat's,
I will stay clear of that route next time I'm over the water.

hi Kealan, Thanks for your comment on My Guitar. I enjoy playing folk music / songs, but am not very good. Keep playing, Django must have started sometime!

Loved that last blast. Good stuff. Ta much, Nick.

Oh, and sminky floo? Stinky poo? ;)

Alright Kealan - ta for your note on Tickling Fish. What did you mean by 'academic' though? I know what the word means but struggled to see how it could be applied to that!

A corpse is meat gone bad. Well and what's cheese? Corpse of milk.

kealan you have quite possibly said this to me, as i can just hear you, 'corpse of milk' grinning. yes i can hear you grinning, like joyce :)

K what are you on? and can you buy it in UK?

Aw! You look Cute!

Hi Kealan - my thanks to you for commenting on 'One World Soon' - glad you enjoyed that. I've found the acrostic style a useful tool in concentrating thoughts upon a theme - I should probably use it more often, hehe. Best wishes, Dave

Well done Kealan on your joint 1st place in WOL comp.

Hi Kealan. Well done with your WOL comp winning piece. Win

I really appreciate comment on the ?? whatever it is. Unfortunately you are correct in spotting my cynicism. I'd love to have it removed

Cheers K...
''K...'' as Bill would say.

Thanks K, your comment is appreciated. Tommy

HaHa - I usually do "come" indoors Kealan, apart from once on a beach, once on the top deck of a bus...erm... once in a bus shelter, a few times out walking - the oddest was probably once in the snug bar of an open pub = bit risky that one :)
Oh, and once in the visiting room of the psychiatric unit in Carlisle hospital (no - I'm not kidding, called The Glades, or something) :D (doggy style)

Hi Kealan - thanks for the comment on 'the end of summer iii' m8... i think there is just one more to come on this series which i may post over the week-end.

i was also at openmind the other night too and was hoping to see you there.. maybe next time, eh?

many thanks Kealan (mon petit shoe)

Hey fantastic!! :D Which one/s did Full of Crow accept? I'll have to have a look. Haha, they just rejected 5 of mine so have doggedly sent them another 5 :D

I was so excited I put mine on me biog on here heh. I got into Feathertale online, plus their actual book - a Best Of coming out early next year, with Biting The Bullet! I get a copy of the book for payment so still have to buy me own chips, like ;) I got into RedFez too,with Write for Revolution, and that's just online but it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, innit?!

Waiting on bloody loads more - have got a few more links for you too, so will email them to you.

Nice one, well done - knew you'd get published!

Hi Kealan - ta very for reading and making comment
