Aww... That was nice.

I wish I was that brave when I was that age...

*smiles brightly... meee toooo.....

V.

Awww I like it

thank you Xeans - very much

Hooray for kids with big hearts! Great work as always, Ms. V.

And you got me thinking, it's not just the porcine who get a bad rap. A lot of barnyard animals would go on a list of maligned critters as well: cows, goats, chickens, sheep. None of them have stellar reputations. I wonder why our domesticated animals wind up getting dissed like that.

*give him a big hug... thank you Wire...

probably they are dissed because they are a 'common known' willing to serve man no matter what... or maybe it's the eleven secret herbs and spices (that was a bad joke - if I had to kill my own meat I'd probably be a vegetarian... but who knows - if you are raised to do this then there is no problem, yes?)

*hugs...

A cute story with a nice moral.

thanks so much T....

*hugs....

V.

Penny reminds me of my son in grade school. he was often in trouble for coming to the aid of smaller children being bullied. My pride in his basic goodness and willingness to get involved often put me at odds with the school. In the end the school won and Michael has learned to keep to himself, and not get involved

It's sad to think that the ideals of the Knights Of The Round Table are always held up in theory, but in reality are shoved aside. here are good people (children included) out there Z.

*gives her a hug...

V.

*hugs* I know there are it is too easy to fail to see them.

Z.

Cute. Charming. So much revolving around the little frog who is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Some children are very cruel, but it seems there's exceptions as well. Nice little tale, I liked reading this. Good work.

*gives him a big hug.... it was a good change of pace for me too... a short trip back into Scanectity's world.

V.

A pleasant and entertaining read, unlike the organic chem I must now go submit myself to.

*smiles big... ty ty ty .... oooo organic what? Is that where your garbage is turned to soil by composting?

V.

Nah, it's where my brain is tuned into pulp by the lead-pipe known as education, LOL.

Cute! The prompt being the key to showing that pretty and not so pretty can be only skin deep.

Thank you so much Redbear.

I had to really chuckle at the Robert Orben quote.

I really liked the Lincoln expression too.

I’d seen a couple cute quotes that I couldn’t remember when they’d come in handy, so I started gathering them into a file – to be used when I want to appear wittier than I am.

Any coward can fight a battle when he’s sure of winning. – George Eliot

Anyone who stops learning is old. Whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps leaning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. – Henry Ford

There's one consolation about matrimony. When you look around you can always see somebody who did worse. -- Warren H. Goldsmith

"It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."

I liked all of those... thank you....

V.

Awww, piggie love!

I wish there were a few kids who acted like that at my school, instead of just thinking about it.

It's the generation Hauke... if they are taught right from wrong by their parents - and how to stand up for what they believe in by society - instead of being allowed to lay car hijacking video games... perhaps we could change this.

*smiles... you touched one of my buttons silly...

V.

I touched one of your buttons? I swear it wasn't me!

Gotta love that Alliteration.

Cute story, i liked it alot, Penny reminds me of a friend i had in grade school


....dang i gotta get back to writing....

ty ty ty ... *hugs... and yes you should...

V.

Beautiful my dear. Truly. The way you write the prompts, if you know what the prompt is, you'll find it, usually in a whitty little mannerism of some descript. But when one does not know the prompt, one can still read your stories, and get every inch of the story without it seeming 'forced' to be on any one topic. Wonderful...

*blushes... you are so very kind Kar... thank you so much...

V.

I agree with this story. I can sympathize with the frog, once last year in school, there were come kids who where trying ti make me go "smoosh" Those people pulled knives, and three kids had been sent to three hospital already. Not one person did anything at the high level. I pleaded and begged and argued to the principal, to no great effect. Then there was Dan. Dan was like the penny pig of your story. He took a camera on the bus and got the evidence to prove that bad things were happening. That act that got those irksome bullies who threatened all our lives expelled. Life was never the same again.... Those wonderful memories are what keep my going. With no pressure, there is no change. It feels like there is no power at the lower level, but when enough of the lower level collapses, then the higher powers start to worry, for if the foundations crumble, then so will the structure above.

very well said Jan... I am very happy you got that mess straightened out. The bullies never do believe they will be caught... good for your friend...

V.

Well... Life has its ups and downs. with out either, there will be global unbalance. Or so my Sensei says.

and he is right - the yin and yang of l;ife...

V.

i'll be honest. this was the first thing i've read by you.

and it was fantastic to read. ill make sure to make some time to read the rest of your stuff^^

why thank you so very much... that was so very kind of you to say...

*hugs....

V.

^^;;

its nothing really. the names are really what did it for me. Allerteration is always enjoyable makes the names memorable

Dedicated to me! Oh, Vixyy, you--are--the--greatest.

*grabs her in a big hug and swings her around*

And I love it. Penny is my kinda girl, and it makes me wish she were my friend in grade school. I like how you switched up the old "kissing the frog" bit too. Great job, Vixyy. You're amazing.

wheeeeheeeeeeeeee...... I do love to be swung around yabetcha...

glad you liked it Duroc... oh... and in googling pigs in search of a proper word, I found where yur name came from... way cool....

V.

I never got to raise Durocs, but I was always fascinated with the breed. I used to see them all the time when we used to show at the county fair.

ahhhhhhhhh.... I think that is so cool....

V.

Well I finally read it.

It was sweet, and I think you helped to change the way people think about pigs.

thank Duroc for that Melia... he's the one who got me to thinking... and thanks for your kind words.

*hugs...

V.

I shall, and your welcome.

*smiles so big... thank you so much Lamont... really...

V.

Awww, that's sweet. And I especially liked the ending. Great work Ms. Vixxy! =^.^=

thank you so much Kar... really...

V.

I laughed when Tashi wet herself. Wonderful story as per usual!

Thank you so much Arsonos... it just sort of happened that way... I write what I see...

V.

V.

I like Scanectity's world, pleasant place it is

That’s as nice and warm as I expect from you anymore.

*just smiles....

thank you T...

V.

This made me smile. ^_^ It's good to know that there are still people out there who value another life for its own sake regardless of if it's got skin, feathers, fur, or scales.

~GR

*smiles very big... I do love life...

*hugs...

V.

V.

I am but honest.

Showing off her flexibility? That, my dear, is dirty pool.

*smiles and gives hm a hug... it is so good to see you again Tippy...

V.

there is hope . . . I've seen the floor of my work room for the first time in ages as well :)

oooooo... so it looks a bit like my garage then....

V.

we are NOT, at this time, ready to deal with garages . . . although I do hear tantalizing rumors of people who are actually able to park automobiles in them . . .

I actually saw that once upon a time.... now we have five cars parked in font of a two car garage...

that's Florida...
