Comment by Buck P Creacy on September 30, 2008 at 6:54pm: Hello Everyone;

Please check your freindship request and either accept them or reject them. But please don't let them sit idle. If one hundred people do that, if keeps others from making new friends. Just go to your friends tabs, the little silloettes at the top right of your page, under your name and click it. I expect if you haven't found it by now... you may have many pending new friends.

Just a tip.
Buck

Comment by Dianne de Las Casas, Author, Award-Winning Storyteller on September 28, 2008 at 3:09am: Buck, the book is out!!! Order your copy. OMG. It's HUGE. 8.5X11, nearly 400 pages, and 30 chapters of tons of useful information. You're gonna love it. I guarantee!

Warmly, Dianne

Comment by Buck P Creacy on September 9, 2008 at 6:49am: Dianne;

We have talked about this before... I still want the first book off the press. Signed of course and you can stick a hundred dollar bill in there for me to use as a book mark! Hope you get to go home soon... Hope you have no damage.
