"Hey, Joe, there was an offer on
Buy 65 and get 15 free"
"Buy 65 what, Jane?
Plums, toilet tissue, lemons?"
You know many of these deals are often a sprat to catch a mackerel?
"Don't tell me you fell for it, Jane?"
" Joe, you know me, I'm a believer that everyone is good at heart
Which, incidentally, they are, it's the ego that's corrupt"
************************
"Put me out of my misery, Jane,
What did you buy?---
Are we in for countless jars of lemon preserves, yummy!"
*************************
"No, Joe, I purchased 65 stars and didn't get the 15 free"
"O, Jane, not that poetry site again?
What's it called?"---
"It's a renowned former poet's paradise called Hello Poetry"
" Jane, don't jump to conclusions, or take it personally"...
************************
"Did you contact, what's his name, it's slipped my mind?"
"His name is Eliot, and yes, I did, with thus far no reply"
"Never mind, Jane, let's take a mindful breath or two"
"Hey, Joe, thanks for the sound advice ~ I love you"...

I was finally able to purchase stars after some problems
I went for the Buy 65 and get 15 FREE
EXCEPT I DIDN'T GET 15 FREE (and waited patiently)
One, it was the best deal, and secondly, it was such a hassle and worry to purchase them, and the price of stars is considerable now
Replies are not visible, nor is the site working correctly at the moment
I am sorry if I couldn't get to your page. Many have been invisible, so I gave up, as it takes energy I don't have. Best wishes always.. Kim
