Al- Today I received the comment below on my Sunday Photo Fiction post from last week. I emailed her to tell her that if she is referring to the photo in the story it is not my work. I refer her to the link back to Sunday Photo Fiction. PBS is public television here in the US.
COMMENT:Hi Maryann, I’m a photo researcher for a PBS film and would love to talk to you about possibly using one of your images. Can you email me at your earliest convenience at heatherLmerrill@gmail.com?
Al disregard or delete the above message. The person was contacting me about a different post but used my most recent to get me the message. It wasn’t about the horses photo
LOL Not to worry 🙂 Which photo are they wanting to use?
One of my mothers’ crossing on ship immigrating to America. It’s a documentary about Irish-Anericans in the 20th Century
Fantastic 🙂
Hi Al! I’ve nominated you for the Blogger Recognition Award in appreciation for what you bring to the blogging table. Congratulations!
I just realised I didn’t thank you for either of your nominations. I apologise for that.
Thanks for thinking of my blog on these, although I don’t have the time to do the awards, I do appreciate it. Thanks Becky.
You’re welcome!
Hi Al! You’ve been nominated for The Versatile Blogger Award! If you accept this award, please proudly display it on your site, thank the person who nominated you, write 7 things about you, post the rules and 15 folks you nominate for this award. It is way for we bloggers to recognize each other and give a little “love’ for your exceptional efforts. Congratulations! Becky
Not sure how to submit a book for review. I did see your list of books that affected you, and I hope to add one to the list. Next week Transfixion releases, and I can send an advance review copy over if you’re interested. More info here: https://jgiambrone.wordpress.com
Thank you, I would be grateful for that, although I am not a fast reader. I can put you in touch with a blogger who is if you want a review before it comes out?
Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog today. In case you’re interested, Carol Fragale Brill (author of CAPE MAYBE, the book I featured) responded to your comment. (Scroll down to your comment to find her response.) She also added contact information as the last comment on the post. Here’s the link, if you’re interested in what she had to say: http://sandranachlinger.blogspot.com/2014/02/cape-maybe-teaser-tuesday.html
Thank you Sandra. I had your page open on my browser and kept refreshing it last night, but hadn’t got round to doing it this morning yet lol.
I am very impressed that she took the time out to respond to comments. That’s the mark of a good author – one who is willing to talk to readers
I can’t find you on twitter!
Where did you go?
I realised over night that I need twitter as a way of sharing what other people have posted, so I have reactivated it.
Yay 😀
😀
I deactivated it today. I’ve been meaning to do it since I removed all the others
Ah, did you reactivate it then? I saw your response this morning
I did, yes. I reactivated it this morning when I got up. One of the reasons is that I really do need a connection to the outside world.
Al,
Just a quick note to let you know Robyn is out of surgery, and has done great!
It’s way too, early to do a progress report type post, but I just need to tell someone else who cares about the good news thus far, and you truly seem to!
Resa xo
Thank you so much Resa. I was thinking about her today wondering how it was going. So glad it went well.
I can breathe a sigh of relief now. I hope the recovery goes well.
Thank you for letting me know, I really appreciate that
Cheer to Robyn’s wonderful recovery!
Thank you for being here!
♥
You’re welcome and thank yo for letting me know.
Hi Al!
Our friend Robyn Lee is having surgery this week. I hope you will visit the Special Post I did for her. I used to see you on her blog and thought you might want to know what’s happening.
Sincerely,
Resa
Thank you very much Resa, I really appreciate that. I’ll head over there now
Alastair,
Have you heard of this blog: “Fabulous 50s”? It’s operated by Sherry Lachelle who lives in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. She’s an avid photographer who’s traveled quite a bit and often takes pictures of average people in average settings. But, she’s published some pretty good photos, and I thought you might want to check out her blog.
http://travelspirit333.com/
She takes some fantastic photos. Thank you for pointing me in her direction. I am now following her
Hi Bro
Regarding our comment on a post converstaion about related posts appearing on blogs I found this
http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/11/11/related/

The only place is the last months ones in the Photo of the Month page here

They are on here somewhere. You will have go to the search bar and type seagull I’m afraid. Sorry.
aww. nothing to be sorry Al.. will do all it takes to find the ones I will be writing for 🙂 🙂
Hi Alastair….I note that you mentioned commenting on one of my blogs but the comment had been moved by WP to spam. You were right but apart from the comment not appearing on my blog….how did you know?
It’s a problem that a lot of WP people have got at the moment. They are looking into it at the moment, and hopefully will sort it soon
Lets hope!
Hey!… if you have a spare minute, we would love to hear your feeback on our blog 🙂 .. follow this link for a very quick survey: http://kwiksurveys.com/app/rendersurvey.asp?sid=z6e8g6iyclbln6797894&refer=

Thanks for following me, nice blog you have here. Music and the poems and the pictures. The sounds that tempt me to forget myself and the emotions to unravel without me knowing, absolutely nice.
Thank you 🙂
Not at all. 😀

Hi Alastair
I’m doing a post on the moon and would love to post one of your photos if you have one. I would give you credit and a link back to your website. If you’re agreeable, you can send me a photo through an attachment to my email address: ktwendel@charter.net Let me know if you can do this, otherwise I’ll have to use a google image. Thanks from Teresa
I’ll send them tomorrow for you if you want 🙂 It’s too late for me tonight
I’m going to take the easy way out and contact you here, because I’m a lazy sod.
Check this out, if you haven’t already

Dear Alastair, I saw you commented about KOULE on An Autism Dad. Please do not let his views skew yours. KOULE is by no mean any form of exploitation. I am an autism researcher (for over 10 years) and a mum. KOULE is my way of trying to help and do some good. I have responded to all the comments made by An Autism Dad’s and I really hope he will post them. Thanks Tamie
Okay Tamie, can you enlighten me as to how this could help my son please
Not sure if you saw the comments that Tamie and I posted about the KOULE. Quite a detailed exchange.
I’ve just read them … very interesting conversation … I’m not convinced though lol
Haven’t seen this photo of you before. Nice to see the very engaging face behind this blog.
Thank you. Took some guts to put it up lol
Hi, thanks for your recent comment on my post – I realized I was being a bit unclear so I re-wrote it…I guess I was a bit upset when I wrote the piece. All better now.
I imagine you were. I would have been furious. Glad you didn’t send it off first though
Thank you for you piece of advice. I will take care to Twitter my more interesting posts.
You’re welcome 🙂
