The Shadorma is quite a delight. The AS is just as fun.

Love this new style. I had never heard of it. It is quite refreshing so I'll have to try it. I always like a challenge. Thanks.

Loved both of these, but I think the American Sentence has the edge.

I especially like the finality of the last line "last service notice"-all chances are gone.

I admit, I've never heard of a Shadorma so thanks for introducing me to a new concept. Really enjoyed the way you used this week's words and I have to wonder how many times that unheard knock has been on our doors...

I really liked the second one, but both are good.
