Lots to absorb and learn from. <br /><br />Wishing everyone a joyful, prosperous New Year!<br /><br />(We're sitting by an open fire with a bottle of port, eagerly awaiting the killer moment when the 4 in the Google Doodle knocks the 3 off the dance floor.) <i>#mylifeisexciting</i>Bonnie Shaljeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067442140631504611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-15706572916242960162013-12-31T15:43:09.766-05:002013-12-31T15:43:09.766-05:00Oh God, I LOVE Cards Against Humanity.

Go big when you go small, or go home. For not just picking a winner, but recognizing those flashes of brilliance and wit. <br /><br />For the hard-headed advice straight from the shark's jaws.<br /><br />For the friends I've met here and the books I've discovered. <br /><br />For the chance to meet more of my fellow chum at conferences and gatherings:<br /><br />"So, I read on Janet's blog . . ."<br /><br />"You hang out at the shark tank, me too!"<br /><br />"Wait, are you . . .?"<br /><br />"Yeah."<br /><br />"I love your stuff!"<br /><br />"Hey, let's have a drink."<br /><br />Ta-dah, another connection made. <br /><br />And for reinforcing what I have learned the last couple of years at conferences, ALWAYS CHECK THE BAR.<br /><br />Happy New Year to my fellow chum. Here's to another great year. <br /><br />TerriTerri Lynn Coophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07290316565247120848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-5063859356234368482013-12-31T13:51:22.422-05:002013-12-31T13:51:22.422-05:00Thank you for taking the time to write this blog. ...Thank you for taking the time to write this blog.

I was very lucky to get to see him. But it was your hundred-word contests that taught me the importance of one of his ten rules: Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip. That is but one example of the many important lessons from your blog. Thank you. I wish you the very best for 2014.

If you can't have any of those I wish you chocolate, a full bottle of whatever and humor, lots and lots of nose snorting, milk spitting laughs. May you laugh so hard you piss your pants and toot, in public. That you guffaw until your sides hurt and black mascaraed tears run down your cheeks and stain your Walmart turtleneck in my wish for you. <br />To all who gather here, big who-haws to you as well. With all this cryin’, pissin’ and tootin’ it will be one hell of a year.<br />(And, I said that in exactly 100 words).<br />Carolynnwith2Nshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394998702410764388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-82160188955471928412013-12-31T07:59:11.720-05:002013-12-31T07:59:11.720-05:00Pax vobiscum.Pax vobiscum.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772310179223546476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-87682499242732559302013-12-31T07:39:22.795-05:002013-12-31T07:39:22.795-05:00It is the last day of 2013 and some of us still ha...It is the last day of 2013 and some of us still haven't done Spring Cleaning or built enough shelves for the books in boxes everywhere.
