Years ago, way back in 2006 CE, I started a group for Viners who are also artists to exhibit their work. It took some time, but I was finally able to get ownership of the group transferred from my first account to this one.

This is a re-publish of an story I put on Newsvine a few years ago... Back in my early college days I participated in two clubs that didn’t have a whole lot in common with each other: theatre club and the rodeo team. But I found my best friends in both places.

I have no idea if this translation is accurate or not, though the video, even without sound, is offensive in it's own right. I dedicate this to all the Viners who, as a way of demonizing Islam, post YouTube videos of Imams talking which also have questionable translations.   …

For several months I have been dealing with a well-known Viner's repeated requests to "turn (the Viner) into a frog". I am a legally ordained Wiccan Priestess, and the Viner knows this. Further, this Viner is rude to others, and is considered to "have an 'in' wit …

Thanks for the FR, I'm honored. Besides having a sense of humor few can fully appreciate, you've got a pretty wicked '70's Lou Reed look going on.
Dennis,

Dennis, I hope you don't mind, but I paid homage to your advice about visiting Ephesus on my latest Foto Friday article: http://circled-thrice.newsvine.com/_news/2011/08/05/7124988-foto-friday-ephesus-turkey
If you do, just let me know and I'll remove the reference. Thanks again!
Dennis,
I was really surprised to find your name on SROs' Banned/Suspended list. But, I was shocked to see what it was for ...... and for a week!
Just so you know, I posted the following comment on that thread;
"Tyler,
"I agree with every word wheel said in #2.11. I too seldom disagree with you and have often defended you when you've been accused of being unfair. However, I don't understand what happened here, referring to a group of Vine as "cretins", who may well have been acting like cretins, does not seem to be a particularly egregious CoH violation, actually I don't see it as a violation at all, as it is not a direct attack on a member, but then I'm not a moderator."
"As I said, I don't know what happened here, but this time I cannot agree with you. If I didn't think it might get me suspended, I would say you just had a temporary lack of judgement, so I won't say it."

You continue to impress me. Thanks for your insight.
Dennis,
you have inspired me to move on to other areas of NV....how you might ask? Well, just enjoying reading your comments enough to come and take a peek at your column. There is so much more here than the Driftwoods and the Victors and I need to move away from them and actually "get smarter"
I knew you had to be a teacher!

You are still one of my favorites Dennis. xoxo
Just checked out the bulletin board on Velvet Underground that you maintain. Cool! (I joined the site as "icu_nurse", of course.) Glad I met you here. Your post brought back nice memories of a time long ago, meeting some extraordinary people (Sterling Morrison, for one). Cheers! :)
You're truly the best of what Newsvine has to offer me. I learn from you every time you show up, even if I don't comment myself. Thanks for all that you offer, and your generosity.
Hey Dennis :) Good to be back~thx for the add babes~

Glad you're back Dennis. I am questioning my voting this upcoming election time. I appreciate your input to the vine. I am relatively new and leaned conservative but now, not so much. I always read your posts and sometimes even learn from them. Thanks!
You have a calm and clarified voice, mixed with some humor...cheers to that. - Dubbya R
