Well, when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac Making bets on your Kentucky derby day I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon Some other girl will take my pain away Take me down little Susie take me down I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground You can send dead flowers every morning You can send dead flowers by the mail You can send dead flowers to my wedding And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

If you see him in the subway, he'll be down at the end of the car Watching you move until he knows, he knows who you are When you get off at your station alone, he'll know that you are Know when you see him Nothing can free him Step aside, open wide It's the Loner

The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade You make the change You rearrange me 'till I'm sane You lock the door And throw away the key And there's someone in my head, but it's not me And if the cloud bursts thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

This is me having a little fun on my Facebook author page . . . M. K. Danielson - Author Welcome to Book Club meeting #1. Today's subject – Propounderance. No, beloved readers, I did not misspell the word preponderance on page 45 of Deadly Possession. The word is propounderance. And yes, I am fully aware that's not really a word. Why then, you might ask, would I use such a non-existing word? Well . . . honestly, it should be a word. Consider for now the root of the word – propound: to put forward or offer for consideration, acceptance, or adoption; set forth; propose. Now, just as we see right in the above definition, the word acceptance, as we all know means – that which is accepted, or is to be accepted, or has been accepted. Following this literary line, it stands to reason that the word propounderance should come to mean that which is propounded, is to be propounded, or has been propounded. And that is the meaning aimed for on page 45. Now for those of you who haven't yet read Deadly Possession (shame on you), let's bring up a little context. The paragraph reads – Tommy filled a cooler with beer. He took it out to the front porch, ignoring the propounderance of salad that stared up at him. He rolled the gas grill over next to the TV, got a chair and sat down. He popped the top off a fresh beer, grabbed a piece of perfectly cooked chicken, put his feet up on the cooler and watched the race. As you can see, the word preponderance would have no place in that sentence. Not even close to the right word. Okay, so why use propounderance, and what's so important about the salad anyway? Why even include it? Fair questions. We know from our first meeting of Tommy that he is recently, once again, back together with his girlfriend, Lisa, with whom he admittedly has an ongoing contentious relationship. In the text body preceding the above paragraph, Tommy and Lisa have a doozy of a fight, during which, in addition to them screaming and name calling before Lisa leaves, a salad, that was meant to go with the grilled chicken, gets spilled on the floor. In the immediate aftermath of the fight, we, the reader, need to know that this time Tommy has really had it with Lisa. We need to feel that this isn't just another run of the mill fight, but that he's totally fed up and feels like he's completely done with her. And in this immediate aftermath there are two reminders of what just happened – a grill full of mostly perfect chicken, except for the two burned pieces that spawned the latest clash, and a freshly made salad that sits spilled on the floor. Now most all us would move to clean up the salad immediately, as leaving it on the floor just isn't right in anybody's world. But in this instance, Tommy, needing to distance himself from all things Lisa, at least in his present, short term post-fight cool-down, chooses to leave the salad on the floor for the time being. So why not just tell you, the beloved reader, all that in so many words like those above? Well, it has to do with great writing. 🤣😁Quality literature arrives when the author shows the reader what the character is feeling rather than telling the reader. Show-don't-tell is where it's at when looking for the audience to connect with characters. So given that the reader already knows the backstory behind the salad on the floor, rather than spell out Tommy's feelings by telling the reader something like, this time Tommy felt like he was really, really done with Lisa (boring)🤑, we can add just enough anthropomorphization🤔 to the salad in order to give it enough of its own life to not sit inanimately on the floor, but to offer itself up (propound itself), tauntingly, to Tommy as a mocking reminder of what just happened. And when we see (not hear about) Tommy choosing to ignore the propounderance of salad, at least for the short term, we, the beloved reader, can see and feel the same frame of mind the character, Tommy is in. Show the reader in a sentence rather than tell the reader with a paragraph. Great literature.😉 Writing like this, my friends, is why, someday (when we're all long gone), Deadly Possession will be talked about as a literary classic, right alongside others like Moby Dick and The Grapes of Wrath.🤣😂😎🥇 The word is propounderance. It's not in the dictionary, but it's my word, and it stays. Thanks for joining today's book club meeting, beloved reader. I heart you all.❤️ M. K. DEADLY POSSESSION: Danielson, M.

Take away your companies Take away your societies and go Get me off this backwards ride Take away your fictitious books See the woman standing in the door World gone by again and again See the blisters growing on your feet Pushed on, pushed on

Well, I used to be a folk singer Keeping managers alive When you saw me on a corner and told me I was jive So I unlocked your mind, you know To see what I could see If you guarantee the postage I'll mail you back the key Well, I woke up in the morning With an arrow through my nose There was an Indian in the corner Tryin' on my clothes

In the beginning I believed every word that you said Now that you're gone My world is in shreds Oh, you loved me and left me You took all the things that I needed so bad I'm standin' here wondering Where is the love that I had Give me silver, blue and gold The color of the sky, I'm told My rainbow is overdue

Spotrac is currently projecting a $235 million cap for next year. Just the fact that the 3-year window of subtracting the rest of what should have been the reduction in 2020 (by the deal that was made back then between NFL/NFLPA) will be back to even, will certainly have it rising more than that. And with all the new TV money coming in it's likely the cap will be much higher than $235 million in 2024. I don't really mean to throw water on the thread, but in this case, I really think it's too early to be concerned.

I saw a review from a "Kindle Customer" that looks very familiar to this comment. So I'll say thank you very much. And if anyone else gives it a read or has read it, I will thank you very much for any reviews left on Amazon. They do help as much or more than anything in convincing prospective buyers to give it a try. Go Bills!

I wanna live, I wanna give I've been a miner for a heart of gold It's these expressions I never give That keep me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old

One and only rebel child From a family meek and mild My mama seemed to know what lay in store Despite all my Sunday learning Towards the bad I kept on turning Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

Thanks I usually run a few years behind.

The cemetery is already right in the middle of things. If they didn't disturb it for the stadium, they're not going to disturb it for a parking lot. Not sure if there's anything to the Native American (see what I did there?) burial grounds. The good news is the new stadium will be across the road and off the land of the cemetery. So hopefully no more curse.

In 1964 they drafted 20 rounds. And the NFL only had 14 teams. So the 88th pick (7th round) would be the equivalent of the 24th pick in the 3rd round today.

Thank you.

Standing on the water casting your bread While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing Distant ships sailing into the mist You were born with a snake in both of your fists While a hurricane was blowing Freedom, just around the corner for you But with truth so far off, what good will it do?

Working on it. Using Amazon ads right now but it's very complex to make it work right. If you don't get it right you spend more in ads than it's worth. Same with FB ads. I likely will try Facebook ads soon they have a similar platform. I have sold quite a few to all my FB friends and family but that honeymoon is mostly over now. Will also put together some local signings. Getting a lot of requests for that. A huge help is getting lots of reviews as people tend to read them before deciding to purchase. I'm in some support/chat groups and everybody says be patient it will grow but not overnight. So that's cool. Not like I'm going anywhere, LOL. Thanks again.

Thanks Muppy and Shaw66 for the favorable reviews on Amazon. Glad you liked it.

It's survival in the city When you live from day to day City streets don't have much pity When you're down, that's where you'll stay

Give my feet to the footloose Careless, fancy free Give my knees to the needy Don't pull that stuff on me Hand me down my walking cane It's a sin to tell a lie Send my mouth way down south And kiss my ass goodbye

Thanks. Glad you liked it.
