Glad to hear that your niece is doing okay. My son and his wife have decided not to get the H1N1 shot for themsleves or their son, my grandson, who is a year and a half. She is in a nursing program and he's in the engineering program at UMass Lowell…

Karen, I'm glad to hear she is okay. As parents we feel guilty about everything. That's probably what makes you a good, concerned parent. I pray, that's what I do.

I like it. I don't know, do you think it might make it stronger if you added names, rather than "some kids" just a thought. Love the talking, walking backwards, sounds like something on You-tube. Nice job Bonnie.

we didn't have the shot......Will i feel guilty if one of my children die, knowing i could have avoided it, yes, i probably would. But i would also feel guilty if i put my kid on the school bus and it crashed. Why didnt' i get the shot? I'm not sure…

Hi everyone. Are you pro H1N1 or Con, and for that matter, what about the regular flu shot? Well, I included it in the novel I am working on and for the record,I did end up getting both shots because I will be caring for my 7 week old grandson when…

Advice From Grammy

Always listen to your chidren and what they have to say. Begin doing this as soon as they start communicating. If and when they interrupt you, and they always do, I believe as long as you teach them how to politely "wait for a break" in the conversation and how to use the words "excuse me" it is so important to hear what they have to say. I know how hard this can be, I owned and operated a ballet school for years when my four children were growing up and at times I thought I would cry with worry… Continue

Oh, no! I didn't mean to. My sister encouraged me to write in my feverish, delirious state -- it would be very Roald Dahl-esque, she said. But maybe she's wrong.

Typically, we've been swapping ms by group email from our home accounts, but posting critiques to the boards here. I like your way a little better -- makes it easier for me, since I have to keep track of all those email accounts the other way. Here, NESCBWI does it for me!

Thanks for the balloon. I needed the smile!

Hi Bonnie,

You did fine -- in fact, you employed a neat little tool that I hadn't considered using before. I hope others respond. This group has been much too quiet lately. Once I'm over my flu and can think properly again, I'm eager to read this ms. I love the title!

Hi Bonnie,

So far we have shared manuscripts via email and then posted feedback on these boards. This may change in the future as we are expanding the group. I'll be sending out an email to everybody in a few days to get everything straight, after members have had a chance to give me some feedback.

In the meantime, welcome!
