Not really my style, to get excited at the prospect of being courted by another man… first time for everything, I suppose. Matter of fact… I want those fucking flowers.
Normally, I don't get wooed by men for Valentine's Day. But for Chuck...I'll make an exception! I really want those flowers too. Especially the chocolates. But the only thing I'm putting out will be the phrases lol
Happy to do it. If this works it will create a resource that writers will use a lot, for a long time. Plus if Erik wins (see above) I'll get his mailing address and can commence to really stalking him in a Glenn Close-ish fashion. Don't tell Erik. Shhhhh....
The proudest moment of my life was walking into a Dollar Store in SE Portland and being told that I was their fourth customer. The store had only opened that morning. It didn't even smell like a Dollar Store. On SE Powell Blvd.
Okay, wait a minute.. if I win and get looked at funny at the post office because of the flowers + chocolate. I'll just get on my phone and pretend i'm talking to my love of my life Charlotte from Portland, Oregon, she sent this I tell them, she's romantic.. that will fix any misunderstanding.
Hola! I posted a picture of the bookmark on your Facebook page. Can you or Dennis retrieve it from there? I put a test one (very recognizable). Just trying to subvert the system ;)
Looking forward to this contest. If it's Joke/pun phrases, I nailed it! haha I think I have a signed Beautiful You though. Tough to keep track any more ;)
Thanks for overachieving in the contest department!
In case you're still reading, if, hypothetically, a certain website has become a trap-all for everyone whose opinions (e.g. conspiracy theories, anti-vaxx, false health info) were banned everywhere else, is it still ok to post on there? I wouldn't feel comfortable starting my own page on that site, just by association, but I'm very interested in your opinion.
My life is Nothing But Flowers every Spring. I sure do hope this one involves phrases that I know. Fell on my face in the post looking for colloquialisms or whatever it was a while back.
As a kid those boxed chocolates were untouchable. Luxuries for the wealthy, now I can't wait until they're in stores so I can send them out. Moonstruck used to carry a "chocolate novel" that looked like a book, but opened to reveal bon-bons. I loved to sent those as well. And winter is perfect because the contents won't melt.
Oh, yeah, and the flowers will be real. Not this Dollar Store shit. And the candy is the good stuff in the big box.

Doesn't the Ukrainians say a one time fag is no fag?
You’re too good to us Space Monkeys!
Absolutely agree. Chuck has been better to me than most of my own family.

Oh my.
Fingers crossed for Erik to win then... 😁
I'm intrigued and thrilled. Game on. I'm taking an extra dose of my meds. ;P
Don't talk shit about the dollar store.
The proudest moment of my life was walking into a Dollar Store in SE Portland and being told that I was their fourth customer. The store had only opened that morning. It didn't even smell like a Dollar Store. On SE Powell Blvd.
I think I was the 9th customer that day, Chuck! SE Powell and 30-something? I just missed you!
Yes, right next to the Italian place. Where they torn down Taco House.
However, the Camas Dollar Store will always be my #1.
I LOVE that one, too!
That’s the one!
Represent! lol Where else am I to get chewing gum, sunscreen and crackers for 3 bucks!?
The big box of chocolate you say? Oh my Whitman's Sampler.

Thank you! Can you send a photo via The Cult site's contacts? That way it would get to me asap. Thanks. I will post it here, promise.
No problemo! It may take me 2 - 3 days to set up the perfect shot (just kidding).
You could call this bookmark "the one that got away" (past the border, intact!)
PS Did you see my late "offering on the Rhode I" page? I leapt headlong into it ;)
I will back track now and take a look.
Brace for impact!!
Cancel Valentine´s Day already!
When´s Sebastiane´s Day, btw?
I would love a St. Olga of Kiev day where everyone just goes all in to perform whatever revenge fantasy they've been thinking about for years.
I've been in Spain for St. Sebastian's Day. Everyone gives everyone a book with a sprig of wheat tucked inside it.
You did? Nice.
What book would you give?
I would give everyone the novel "Heartburn" this year.
By Nora Ephron? Have to read that.
Have you seen Sarah Polley´s doc Stories We Tell?
😻

You still have a box of cat toys coming, buster.
Anything "foreigners" (aka pygmies) should know about the prizes? ;)
Candy, flowers, book. Nothing devious or metric.
I still have both of my heart shaped boxes that my chocolate from Chuck came in last year 😍❤😍❤

Hell yeah. Can’t wait.
WOW, really turning the radio DJ host quality all the way up for this Chuck aren't you?
Are you gonna have us write really awkward pick-up lines?
I'm so excited 🤪
Chocolate?????? I'm in!
No nuts please, it's impossible to keep your teeth when you are a crash test dummy
Sounds great! Will try even if i'm french and don't master english as much as most of you
Can't Wait!
