Currently, I'm writing a good friend, who's a poet, some info where to submit poetry and about on-line sites to post poetry or which will direct her to them, if she goes on-line to them. It's wonderful how she asked me about this because I've got oodles of info I'm writing for her. She's been a Dfriend for about 10 years, we met through a Christian crochet website, and she's an LPN, crochets for extra money in her spare time and writes poems. She's never mentioned submitting for $$, but I've got one market for her, which pays $300 per NON-rhyming poems, has contests, with a $ prize, and also if they publish a poem into one of their books, it's $50 for one time pay. They're Blue Mountain Arts, Inc. and do beautiful cards and books. I've always been rejected!
But I'm a RHYMING poet or Haiku, (Haiku doesn't rhyme though) and cannot get the "hang" of free verse. I'm all thumbs, when I write/submit it, don't know what's wrong with me, and gave up. But now that my dfriend's asking for sites, I'm getting the "itch" to research how to write free verse, to get out my 2 poetry books on how to write various poems, and read on them, in my spare time. SPARE TIME? 
I also have 2 Blue Mountain Arts, Inc. poetry books here, to study, and can re-read their contest entries and winning poems at their site, to get the "feel" for free verse. At least I'm able to write rhyming poems for kids' publications. 
So I'm not wasting my talent. I have the goal to master free verse now. If my dfriend can do it, then so can I. If I can master a short story, then I can master free verse poems. 
I shaved in the shower, dried off, and put on Coconut Lime Shea Butter all over my arms and legs. I dressed, but went barefooted into the great room, to the sofa, to put on socks and shoes. Tutu came over to me, licking, sniffing my coconut lime scented legs and after I got one shoe on, she put her head on my shoe and kept rubbing her head back and forth, like she was getting "high" off the scent. It was so funny!
She's been so cute today, running, and we have wood fir floors with 2 area rugs. So when she runs fast, she skids around corners, like a cartoon character and we had skid marks on our floors from her, but DH said the whole idea of fir floors is to let them age, get scratches and mars, etc.. because they give them personality.(((MT))) I hope you're enjoying reading and want you to start feeling better, too.
Kathryn, Do you have a wrist brace?
Mine help. I have 2 kinds.Twins', If you go the way of built-ins, they're really nice!
My MIL had them in her home, which added so much organization for books, displays, etc... She had them in her family room, shelves built in the spare room to make it a library, in the utility room, and a big storage cabinet in her master bedroom. She didn't stop there. She got walls on one or two sides of her garage, too. It was worth the money, she had so much storage, and I believe it helped sell her home, for us, after her death, too. They're very handy and look nice, too.Dee, I hope you'll find that email you need.
Lucylee, Sorry your dmom got dizzy from the loud sounds at the theater, so hoping she can manage that concert. I guess she'll need to excuse herself, to recoup in the lobby or stand out there where it's not quite as loud, to keep from getting dizzy. Sound affects our nervous system, so we can get dizzy from it.
Also, it sometimes causes anxiety or vertigo in some people. Lilac, You're lucky you met MT in person!
Waving hello to Lynlee, Nancy, and Sunny.
