TKField: My mother passed away last Wednesday peacefully, in her sleep due to complications from AML (acute Myloid Leukemia) at the age of 88. She was quite a complicated person, not easily summed up ( who is?). Anyway there was a great piece in the Dallas Morning News about her, I thought I'd share with all my fellow FanStorians. Here's the link...

    Gloria ....: Thank you for sharing TK. Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss. I read the article about your mother and I gotta tell you I got a big smile from this:

    "Mom, it's white!" said her exasperated son, to whom she replied, "You don't understand -- the wrong shade of white can ruin your life!"

    That's a line of poetic brilliancy. -
    mrsmajor: So sorry for your loss...Prayers and condolences to you and the family...I will certainly read the article...Take Care! -
    TKField: Thanks for your condolences everybody. -


TKField: Thanks to everyone who voted for "The Antique Gods Retirement Home". It tied for first with a poem that had the word "Bethinks" in it.
    adewpearl: TK, you should have stopped when you were ahead while being gracious. :-) -
    Taffspride: Cumbrianlass is correct. bethink is a word. -
    William Walz: I don't believe that the viability of the word itself is the matter in question. I think it's that someone actually had the audacity to use it. -
    TKField: Everybody chill, it was a joke. I love the word bethinks. I drink it all day. But what the hell does it mean? -
    LYLE: I just read your comment - priceless! lol -


TKField: I want to thank everyone who voted for "Invisible Soup" in the faith acrostic prompt. Also, a big shout-out to Jesus and His Daddy. Without their craaazy book, this poem would not have been possible.
