Hi everyone. Life has taken many unexpected twists the past few years and has begun aknew...You have my deepest apologies for the untimely delays. Unfortunately my lap top was stolen and I lost ALL of my story notes and outlines. So, when I can afford a new lap top, I have to re-read every unfinished story and work up new notes and outlines... TFG will take the longest to finish as Fillipino Fury has also had many delays. Thank you for your interest in my stories and for your continued patience.

To all my readers/fans:

I haven't abandoned any of you. I'd never do that! I intend to complete my fan-fictions as time allows. I apologize for the waiting periods between updates. I'm under a {publishing contract} deadline for a series of short stories. Thanks for your continued patience and understanding.

P.S. Throughout the years here I've used two pen-names. My original was KittyB78. I've beta'd for a lot of authors on this site, and mentored many others. Occasionally I still beta for a few. So don't be surprised if you see my name mentioned in other fics.

I just completed my first radio interview! Listen to it here: http:///thebestpeopleweknow/2012/08/27/winner-of-the-marketing-for-romance-writers-bootcamp

Update:

I just learned the above radio show is already the #1 ranked radio show about writing. It's only been a little over three days since the show aired. Talk about blown away! Thank you ladies, for allowing me to be part of such an awesome adventure. :)

I'm a Christian and proud of it! Everything I have, I owe to the good Lord, and I'm not ashamed to say it.

Over the years I've received many artworks for my stories. Thank you, to all of the talented artists for taking time to bless me with those thoughtful gifts. Each one is appreciated and brings a smile to my face.

I saw this and had to share it. One of my closest friends is a Marine, fighting to keep us safe. My father is also a Marine. I couldn't be prouder of either of them! :)

US Marines:

You can have your army khaki,
You can have your navy blue,
But there's still another fighter
I'll introduce to you.

His uniform is different,
The best you've ever seen,
The enemy, calls him devil-dog,
But his real name is Marine.

Some are trained at Paris Island,
The land that God forgot,
Where the sand is fourteen inches deep
And the sun is scorching hot.

He has a set many a table
And many a dish he has dried
He also learned to make a bunk,
A broom he sure can guide.
He's peeled a million onions
and twice as many "spuds".
And he spends all his leisure time
Washing up his duds.

So girls, take a little tip
I'm handing it to you,
Just get yourself a good Marine
For there's nothing he can't do.
And when he gets to the Pearly gates
To Saint Peter He will tell,
"Another Marine reporting Sir,
I've done served my time in hell."

Girls Don't Realize These Things

I'm sorry
that I bought you roses
to tell you that I like you

I'm sorry
That I was raised with enough respect
not to sleep with you when you were drunk

I'm sorry
That my body's not ripped enough
to "satisfy" your wants

I'm sorry
that I open your car door,
and pull out your chair like I was raised

I'm sorry
That I'm not cute enough
to be "your guy"

I'm sorry
That I am actually nice;
not a jerk

I'm sorry
I don't have a huge bank account
to buy you expensive things

I'm sorry
I like to spend quality nights at home
cuddling with you, instead of at a club

I'm sorry
I would rather make love to you then just screw you
like some random guy.

I'm sorry
That I am always the one you need to talk to,
but never good enough to date

I'm sorry
That I always held your hair back when you threw up, and didn't get mad at you for puking in my car,
but when we went out you went home with another guy

I'm sorry
That I am there to pick you up at 4am when your new man hit you and dropped you off in the middle of nowhere,
but not good enough for you to listen to me when I need a friend

I'm sorry
If I start not being there because it hurts being used as a door mat, only to be thrown to the side when the new jerk comes around

I'm sorry
If I don't answer my phone anymore when you call, to listen to you cry for hours, instead of getting a couple hours of sleep before work

I'm sorry
that you can't realize.. I've been the one all along.

I'm sorry
If you read this and know somebody like this
but don't care

But most of all

I'm sorry
For not being sorry anymore

I'm sorry
That you can't accept me for who I am

I'm sorry
I can never do anything right, and nothing that I do is good
enough to make it in your world.

I'm sorry
I caught your boyfriend with another girl and told you about it, I thought that was what friends were for...

I'm sorry
That I told you I loved you and actually meant it.

I'm sorry
That I talked to you for nine hours on Thanksgiving when your boyfriend was threatening you instead of spending time with my family.

I'm Sorry
That I cared

I'm sorry
that I listen to you at night talking about how you wish you could have done something different.

Ladies always complain and gripe to their friends that there is never any good guys out there, and they always end up with assholes who mistreat them. Well ladies, next time you're complaining, maybe look up to see who you're complaining to, maybe that special someone is right there hanging on your every word as usual, screaming in his head "Why won't you give me a chance?"
Because the person you are usually searching for is right by you.

If you're a guy and you agree with this letter, copy and paste into your profile as 'I'm sorry.'

If You're one of the FEW girls with enough BALLS to copy and paste this into your profile, and you would never make your guy feel this way, copy and paste into your profile as 'Girls Don't Realize These Things'
