Update on literary journal thing - got an acceptance today!


Posted: Jan 25, 2014

It was a wonderrful acceptance.  I also got a wonderful rejection yesterday (translation:  they encourage me to send more poems).

So I get stressed out about it.  That's why I have my AFFIRMATIONS.

Just remember: Lots of submissions have been rejected (over and over) before being recognized for their merits and published. Keep going with your endeavors. Each one can be an affirmation of your worth as a writer.

It's great to see what may happen when we don't give up. I'm very happy for you.

Congratulations! What a wonderful thing, - to have a creative streak!

I'm kind of jealous! My husband is an author, but I don't have a creative bone in my body. I just started dance classes, so if I can get my two left feet to cooperate, perhaps that will be my creative outlet! Lord knows I need one!

Back From Combat, Women Struggle For AcceptanceDec 15, 2009
By KIMBERLY HEFLING, Associated Press Writer Kimberly Hefling, Associated Press Writer – Mon Dec 14, 6:03 pm ET WASHINGTON – Nobody wants to buy them a beer. Even near military bases, female veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan aren't often offered a drink on the house as a welcome home. More than 230,000 American women have fought in those recent wars and at least 120 have died doing so, yet the public still doesn't completely understand t ...

Bill Kristol's Acceptance Of Higher Taxes Isn't New ForNov 12, 2012
From Salon.com: The biggest news on Sunday was Bill Kristol’s declaration on “Fox News Sunday” that Republicans should give in on President Obama’s demand that tax rates go up on income over $250,000 as part of any fiscal “cliff” deal. “It won’t kill the country if we raise taxes a little bit on millionaires,” he said. “It really won’t, I don’t think.

While Listening To Washington Journal This MorningJan 09, 2017
a woman who pointed out about a Youtube video disproving the media over the mocking of a reporter's disability. The liberals jumped for joy with idea that he mocked this reporter and posted it all over the 'net as well as the news sites who picked up ONLY on the tiny piece of that video. So I decided to look for it.  Hmmmm. She was right. There is a video showing where those hand movements he made were also used when he talked about a question Ted Cruz refused to answer and someon ...

Putnam County NY Official Refuses To Hand Over Names To Journal NewsJan 04, 2013
He was interviewed by Megan Kelley (sp) yesterday. Good for this official! I hope he stands by his convictions. Good points were brought up. There is NO reason that registered gun owners names and addresses should be released and NO reason non-gun owners would be pointed out at the same time just because they live near someone who has a registered gun.  Assemblyman Steve Katz backed Sant, saying the newspaper had exposed the names of those who own guns for no good reason, and said the deci ...

Question About "post Neutering" A Cat And AcceptanceOct 29, 2011
We took our male kitty in to be neutered.  Before he went in he was a "mammas boy".  Mom loved him, cleaned him, played with him and he still was nursing.  He has 4 sisters.  He went in a couple days ago, neutered, rabies shot, vaccine, etc (which we hated to do, but thought it would be best for him).  He came home that night and it was like watching the movie "The Thing".  All his sisters and mom hissed at him.  2 were afraid and would not go near him.  W ...

Update And Asking For More Help. Sep 24, 2010
I posted this  a couple months ago. Basically, it's about being depressed, having socially anxiety (or maybe avoidant personality disorder). http://forum.mtstars.com/245664.html Well, instead of getting help then, I decided to get another MT job to try one more time. And I am getting worse. I realize I need to get help now, or my life is not going to go anywhere. I'm starting to have more suicidal thoughts and anxiety attacks. I don't have money to go to a doctor. I know I ...

E-cig UpdateJul 26, 2010
Since this thread started last week, I ordered, received, and have been using e-cigs for 4 days.  They're awesome.  I've smoked since a teenager - before cigarettes were taboo.  Since working at home, I was smoking 2+ packs a day.  I'm now smoking maybe 8 cigarettes a day, with absolutely no withdrawal.  When I smoke a real cig now, it's more of a choice rather than a necessity.  When I run out of my cigs, I won't be buying a new supply ...

Update On HJ Res. 15Jan 07, 2013
Did some more research on this and apparently Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY) is simply a fanatic about repealing the 22nd amendment.  He actually has tried this before (HJ Res. 5) back in 2009, so I'm guessing it'll get about as far this time as it did last time. I would, however, like to have a discussion about the pros and cons of this bill - apparently there are some that would like to see this amendment repealed.  I'm actually for more term limits - senate, house, supreme ...

As you know, she has a new diagnosis with Alzheimer's and am getting her started on coconut oil,  well coconut oil gelcaps, as that was what was available at the store at the time.   Anyway, not a moment too soon.  Just needed to vent a little.  Where to start!  SHE GAVE ALL HER CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FROM ME AWAY!!!!  Her greatest need at this time was warm winter sweaters, sweatshirts, layering pieces like turtlenecks and long-sleeved Tees to wear underneath ...

Just An UpdateAug 06, 2013
I posted a few times on the prayer board about being abused by my sister for as long as I can remember.  Several of you encouraged me to see a therapist, and today was my first visit.   I chose the therapist's name from a list of providers given to me by my insurance company.  I did not know anything about her.  I can say based on our session today that I am extremely pleased.  She is just wonderful.  It was a very difficult session for me, having to give ...

Update On New JobJun 25, 2014
Hi all in MT land: I am here just to stop in and say hi. I had posted awhile back about giving my notice and moving onto a new (and better) job. My last day with my MTSO was Friday the 13th. I started my new job June 9th and stayed on to help finish out the pay period. My last day I posted a message on IM about it being my last day and goodbye everyone kind of thing and didn't hear a peep. Not one message. I don't care, it's not like I was expecting anything, but not even one m ...

Another Update On MeMay 18, 2016
Well, my legs and ankles are mostly normal now. I think I lost 10-15 pounds and took finally four Torsemide two morning and two in afternoon to do it. I have diastolic heart failure and that plus my low potassium threw me into a bad spell with swelling that would not go down. I do feel some better though. I still have the hives and now they are really bothering me badly. I went to the drug store and finally got some CVS brand Allegra 180 mg. I found reviews saying it was good for hives since ...

Update On New Profession ..... SMJan 30, 2012
Hi everyone, I am the one who posted a few weeks ago about going for the job with my State as a dispatcher. Good news!!!!! I had my polygraph today and I PASSED, lol. Yes, I was nervous, of course, because I realize that these are not 100% accurate but I decided ahead of time to just take a deep breath, be completely honest and it worked. I am so excited and hoping (with the way things are going) to be out of this field before the end of February (or earlier, hopefully). I believe that the ...

Another Update On New ProfessionApr 11, 2012
Well, it has been a month, short of 5 days, that I walked away from the medical field and medical transcription after over 23 years.  I have to say that it has been the best thing that I have done for myself and my family in forever.  The work schedule is a little screwy (dispatcher for law enforcement) but with no small kids and my husband already in law enforcement for 27 years, it has been adaptable for us.  The first week was spent becoming certified on state and national comm ...

Update On Dog Food...no Go.Mar 21, 2011
Won't touch the 4Health or Taste of the Wild. So, we're done spending a fortune on dog food. We're going back to Beneful. It seems to be the only thing she likes. Thank heavens, we only bought the small bags and they are gone now. On the positive side, as long as she's not eating much, she might lose some weight.  LOL ...

Update To My Post BelowMar 10, 2011
Thanks to all your messages below.  Here's an update.  We have a small bowl of food out for her.  I just could not stand to wonder if she is starving.  So now we know she isn't.  She is still skiddish, but it warming up to us.  She doesn't run unless we make a movement toward her.  If we stand still and talk to her she will sit and watch us and not run.   She does appear a little thin, but at least I am more comfortable knowing if she i ...

Is It Proper - UpdateJan 29, 2010
I wrote awhile back asking if it was proper to send relatives a sympathy card.  Just wanted to let you know I took all your advice, wrote some nice words about my cousin and heard that my card and words were greatly appreciated and touched their hearts.  On a sadder note, I heard from two of my brothers that unfortunately they believe my cousins death was most likely a suicide.  There is too much evidence leading, but his brother, sister and mom went over to clean up his apartment ...

Update On MammographyNov 23, 2010
Yesterday I went for my repeat films after receiving a call last Monday concerning an area of concern.  The possible nodule again was seen on yesterday's films.  They did an ultrasound which did not pick it up.

Here's An Update On The FightApr 08, 2011
It goes by minutes...and by the way, I noticed that the Cherry Blossom Festival will go on.....Reid was so worried about it not happening. On the other Reid comment about women's health and pubs want to take away that funding.  Planned Parenthood is VERY involved in abortion and unplanned pregnancies besides providing other services to women. If so, this is where most of the fight is all about now, and this is why they want to unfund PP. If PP wouldn't provide abortions, then the ...

Update On TinyApr 07, 2011
Yesterday Tiny received one dose of Lysodren, 1/4 pill.  She actually vomited a few times the day before she ever received it.  The vet said don't give her any dinner that night until her belly settles down, and then Wednesday give her the first dose. This morning my stepfather called me and told me he had to take Tiny to the hospital before 8:30 this morning.  She had vomited huge amounts in the kitchen apparently overnight, very early in the morning.  She was weak and ...

Update On NYC ParkingAug 16, 2010
Just thought I'd let everyone one know that I found a very close parking lot near by (only a block away from the theater).  Thank you to to those who gave me google advice.  It was $35 for the night.  I should have paid better attention though.  To make al ong story short, I had to move my car because the lot closed at midnight and the concert was just ending at 11:45 so at about 8:00 I moved my car and found that parking is free after 7:30 on the streets.  There wa ...

Update On Our Pregnant CatApr 19, 2011
Just in case some were wondering how the stray cat that was pregnant is doing... We have not seen her in a few days.  She was getting pretty big and we were thinking she would have them any time now.  We set up boxes and old towels in different areas just in case.  She looked pretty content, we would look out to find her laying on our lawn in the sun with her big belly :-) and then at night time curled up on our porch, but she has not been around for a few days now.  There i ...

Update On Getting A KittenJul 15, 2010
Just wanted all of you who responded to my post and were so kind after the death of my cat on Sunday that we have a new addition to the family.  I decided to look at our local pet store yesterday on my lunch hour.  It must have been fate.  I was looking for a tortoise shell kitten (I've always loved the colors) and one was just brought in within a half an hour before I got there.  The woman who brought her in was a foster mother to her and her brothers and sisters.  ...

One Dog Vs. Two Dogs - Update :)Apr 13, 2013
We adopted a standard dachshund today from the humane society.  I found him on Petfinder.com.  We had to drive about an hour away to get him but oh, what a sweetie.  He is only 8 months old but he isn't hyper at all.  Very laid back for a youngster.  (He hasn't even barked once!)  His tail wags constantly and he loves everybody in the family. But best of all, our tweenie dachshund loves him!  She has engaged him in play over and over.  He is stil ...

Old Lady - UpdateJun 27, 2013
An update here to a post a couple weeks ago.  I had my meeting, but that day I felt a noticable change in the "climate".  Since that time I honestly feel that the OM and her buddies are ganging up on me.  I am drowning in work that I cannot keep up with.  Our new people are in and I have been assigned to train.  Because of that I cannot perform my daily duties as newbies need constant guidance.  It has been one week, and I got called in and was given a verbal warnin ...
