Blessings for luck on the prompt entry...

This is a very good subject to write about and it is so funny too. This is my choice for the entry because, I make up my mind who to vote for along the way when reviewing it.

I like the choice of wording content and the way it is written as well. Mountainstar2

This is a cute and humorous story. In just 100 words it was descriptive enough that I felt I was with you all day. Sorry to hear about the headache.

Great job. RJ

You paint an excellent picture here, John, of your typical day.
And I like that you do so with some delightful humor. Nice
ending to this as well--too bad about the headache. Maybe
tomorrow night . . . :>)

Serving as a paper boy at two a.m. can't be much fun, and I'm guessing the catering business can go on for a while before getting home. I'm surprised you don't have a yard man to give yourself more time. :)

A yard man costs money, that would defeat the purpose of needing to work two jobs. Besides, I really enjoy yard work. It's fun and relaxing. John

Hi John,
it would be hysterical if it wasn't so true of so many people trying to make ends meet these days. Over worked, under paid, missing out on what pleasures life have on offer. Loved the way you wrote this John, an enjoyable read indeed.
Kindest thoughts,
James

Love it! Once again your sense of humor shines through and this truly is the exact replica of your day! I love the way you attempt every time to do these writing prompts and better your writing. Which, by the way, would win awards as it is. You work to hard my love. I wish you didn't have to and wish you would submit your writing to contests to supplement your income. I loved this and I love you!

Hi there Princess. Damn I missed you!!! Thank you for reading this little diddly. Your reviews are so encouraging.

Well, back to work. I'm going to start posting my Mindy & Chloe storybook in a day or so. Be on the look out... Love ya JohnnyD

Ah, John, an interesting idea. Write to the prompt, but avoid that 'blind' business. I like it.
I also like your 'Rite'. Ain't that the truth?
Hey man, you might have won.

Peace, Lee

Only when a prompt intrigues me. Tuesday I entered a contest out if frustration, and won. The post was so bad I never thought I'd get even one vote. I emptied my account cuz my next step was to resign... Go figure.
I don't like the contests on the site. That's why I avoid them. John

Thanks for reading.

reply by humpwhistle on 07-Jun-2013

I agree, John, the prompts and the contests aren't very inspiring. I'm glad you didn't resign. Lee

Hi John,

You're a busy guy. I used to deliver papers on a motor route each morning at 3AM before working my full-time job. I know where you're coming from.

Cute tale, even if it is one of woe.

Your Yanks thumped my Mariners last night. Oh well...

Ray

Hey Ray... Sorry for the delay.
Thanks for the review. Two jobs for a while until things look up..

Mariners took us last night,4-1... Take care my friend, John

Yup, Jeremy Bonderman picked up his first win since 2009. He went through Tommy John surgery since then. He's also somewhat of a local boy--grew up in Pasco, down the road 85 miles southeast of Yakima. You take care too, John. Ray
