I'll pay you off in twenties.

My heart is a vacuum
and in it a prickly pear.
It is nothing that I swallowed,
it was you who put it there.
In absence of sunlight
it grows and bares flesh
while spines follow limbs
to a fine found filament
of sugar frosted fingers
for my grip almost spent.
It purges heat and a punch
then I swallow it back,
that prickly pear
perhaps, I did put it there.


p.s. it really wasn't as grand as I thought it would be.

I agree, L.

It doesn't take much.


It's so damn frustrating to turn the fucking news on every day, see people killing each other, see people fighting, blowing each other to pieces, it makes me really mad. I'm sure it does the same to the rest of you.

And to know it doesn't have to be like that is what's so frustrating. But no one is doing anything about it, so I say it needs to start somewhere. And what better place to start than with ourselves.

Hey, at Cracker Barrel, that can be a real question sometimes!! I've gotten some gravy that a spoon would stand up in before! Old family story--one time my Nanny was sick, so Papa made the breakfast. The kids were complaining that he couldn't cook as good as her, he told them to "shut up and cut yourself another piece of gravy!"

Here is one of my favorite stories from living down in South Carolina...
My friend took me to meet her aunt. The woman was all upset because of the guy her daughter was dating. She just went on and on about him but for the life of me I couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. He sounded nice. Finally I asked. She looked at me and said, "Honey, he's a Yankee." She was dead serious. Then she asked me where I was from. Oh boy, that was fun. Since I'd been living there for several years I'd picked up a bit of the Southern accent so she really didn't know.

Setting examples is all any of us can do. From one small thing to the bigger things in life. Taking care of each other and having respect for others is so simple, yet, so difficult for some to comprehend.





Does this include NOT trying and failing ot post anonymously, calling people names, deleting it and then blaming other people for "hacking" you? You are thebiggest hypocrites.

Elena, I'm glad to hear your puppy is back safe and sound. Hi Ergo *waves*

Well Mayonaise, today is Earth day, so I decided to post a kinda long post on how people can help preserve our environment and to help Mother Nature. I hope you don't mind. This topic is something that I am slowly becoming really passionate about.



For anyone who is interested in going green and helping our planet one step at a time, here are a few websites that I am posting for more information, articles, and tips.

http://www.thegreenguide.com/products/

http://green.yahoo.com/

http://green.yahoo.com/Recycling

http://www.goinggreenmatters.com/

For anyone who is into natural and organic produce, I highly recommend Whole Foods. Here is the website link:

www.wholefoodsmarket.com

And here are a few great tips courtesy of Going Green Matters

Minimize time spent in the car. An easy way to help reduce those harmful emissions is to leave the car at home for short trips. Also, consolidating errands into one big trip is more beneficial than making several smaller trips from home and back. Carpooling to and from work is another way to contribute to the environment as well.
Unplug non-essential appliances. Many home appliances use low levels of energy even when they are turned off. Unplugging these appliances completely or plugging them into a power strip and turning the strip off are both ways to help reduce energy consumption.
Scrape that dish! Instead of rinsing a dish before placing it in the dishwasher, scraping it is just as effective and doesn't waste any water.
Go green on grocery bags. An innumerable amount of plastic grocery bags are disposed of every single day -- and the recycle rate is extremely low. Saving and re-using plastic grocery bags or getting a special cloth bag just for shopping are both great ways to be green.
Renewable Energy Credits (RECs): When a consumer purchases an REC they ensure that somewhere on the grid, someone is receiving the benefits of green energy instead of fossil-fuel power. Doing so can help push renewable energy to the forefront of consumption, and helps reduce carbon emissions.

Also check out www.idealbite.com for more Eco-friendly tips.

For parents, Moms, Moms-To-Be who are interested in purchasing organic and natural toys and clothing for their little ones, check out this link:

www.thelittleseed.com Courtesy of the TV Guide channel.

For anyone interested in purchasing organic jeans check out this site: www.oxygenrequired.com But please be aware that a pair runs anywhere from $150-$200. Also courtesy of TV Guide channel. Concerning the recycled grocery bags, there are some stores that are now selling reusable grocery bags for $.99. Target is one of the few big-chained retailers that are beginning to sell them for the low price of $1.49
If you would like to save money on your energy bills, you can also purchase CFL lights for about $3 or $4 each, depending on how many watts it uses; also, the design is much more cooler than a regular light bulb.

And if you need to dispose them, do Not dispose them in the garbage, due to containing the chemical Mercury. Instead, here are tips to dispose CFL lights properly and safely:

Recycle. Check if there is a local organization or government agency that takes CFL light bulbs. You also can visit earth911.org, or call them at (800) CLEAN-UP, for a list of disposal options. Another option is to contact your local waste management agency, and some stores including IKEA will take used CFLs.

Step2 Bag it. If there is no place to recycle your CFL light bulb, seal in a plastic bag and put it in the trash. Don't place a CFL bulb, or anything that contains mercury, in an incinerator.

Step3 Pay to get rid of it. Some companies will dispose of CFL light bulbs for a fee, usually somewhere between a quarter and 75 cents per bulb. Look in the Yellow Pages to find a local disposal company.

Step4 Sweep, don't vacuum, if a CFL light bulb breaks. Experts say there isn't much danger from the mercury, so just be careful not to cut yourself. Use rubber gloves to collect the shards on stiff paper or cardboard, and put the shards in a sealed plastic bag. You can use sticky tape or damp towels to collect the smaller fragments, then put the towel or tape into the sealed bag. Let the room air out for 15 minutes to remove any lingering mercury vapors. If there isn't a nearby window, use a fan to blow air out of the room.


For more tips on going green, you can check out the world wide web, and also the search engines, such as Yahoo and Google.

For more information on how to help endangered species, check out www.worldwildlife.org

You can also help in small ways by unplugging appliances that are not being used, such as the TV, radio, etc. and you ca also plant a tree, if you like.

Mercury, schmercury!
When I was a kid, a thermometer broke in my kitchen, and my cousin and I sat on the floor and rolled the mercury back and forth to each other. Looking back now, that's pretty scary. But, mercury is so cool.

In some ways she's older than her peers because she's so smart and she has no use for what she considers to be "typical teenage behavior" but mostly she's just very naive.

And she doesn't want to go on any dates until she's in college. (She says this NOW. O_o )

Hi, all :D

Star, I did have a better day today. Sort of. Work went fine, but I had a headache all afternoon :/ Seems I can't win!

My "sick" co-worker ws back today. We were both in early (I'm in early every day, she was in early today to catch up on some of the work she missed yesterday), and she confessed to me that what she really experienced was an anxiety attack. I had figured it was something like that. She's been having the week from hell, actually, as she got a phone call from her brother this afternoon to tell her that their mother just had a heart attack & was in the hospital. Her mother's elderly (79) and not in good health, so it wasn't exactly a surprise. But it's still shocking for her regardless.

How was your day?

resurrected wreck said...

You're silly, Mustard!

That's horrible for her. But the unfortunate thing is that it makes it hard for you too.

Mustard! That is funny. ^_^

RW,

That's terrible about her mother. I'm so sorry!

resurrected wreck said...

Mustard, I've never met anyone who cries in public as much as my co-worker. Though today she totally had good reason.

I'm not sure how she's holding up. She got the news late in the day, so she went home soon afterwards. I guess I'll see how she is tomorrow.

Anonymous said...

That's awful, RW, jeez. I'd have an anxiety attack too. O_O

Splash, I might have an anxiety attack if I'd dropped my hairbrush in the toilet as well. I guess the million dollar question is, was there anything in the toilet when you dropped it? O_O

Well, I hope everything's okay.

Seems like things aren't so good in her life right now. :/ Yet, as Star said, it kind of comes back on you, too. So, what do you do really?

She had the anxiety attack before she heard about her mother, K. I can only imagine what she's going through tonight :/

Oh my gosh.

I work with some criers, too. Oh man, I'm one of those people who has to go hide out somewhere when bad things happen. I do not like sharing in this thing you humans refer to as "emotion." ;D

Um, well.

No. There wasn't anything in the toilet. But, I mean. It is a toilet. I wouldn't want to go lick the inside of the bowl or anything.

And it's the only hairbrush I have.

I should have ordered the damn things in bulk. >.<

I'm kind of ashamed to admit that I made her cry at work one day. It was totally unintentional. I didn't say anything to her that I hadn't said to anyone else, and she was minding my business. I asked her politely (I thought) to back off, and next thing I knew she was sniffling in a corner.

She admits to being overly sensitive. Now I find myself being superficially cheery all the time at work just so that I don't upset her.

I so totally hear you. And I'm terrible at comforting people. I tend to take the approach that I would want to be taken toward me in a similar circumstance, which is to be left alone. But most breathing, feeling people tent to prefer the opposite. I sometimes worry that they think I'm callous, but I'm just giving them the space that I would want if it were me in their shoes.

I've gotten kind of used to it. But I tell you, I can't wait til the end of next week & I can have a break away from the opera & from her for a bit. After a while all the drama gets exhausting.

Oh, I'm always the first to give hugs and hair-pettings and tissues and sympathy. But if I'm the one who's upset it's like GTFO OF MY FAAACE!

Yeah, yeah.

I shy away from drama. I can't handle it. I just nod my head and continue on.

Mayo, I want you to know that currently in AIM chat we are talking about Def Leppard and how brilliant of a record Pyromania was.

O_o

Well honestly, it was!

sdock10 said...

Pyromania for the meffing win!!


I have seen them 3 times.


...just sayin

resurrected wreck said...

Should I apologize for that, Mustard: ;)

Hell no you shouldn't, RW.

I do a damn good rendition of "Tiny Dancer."

I'm pretty sure it's my favorite EJ song.

She's got electric boobs! Her mom has, too! You know I read it in a magaziiiiiine!

I kinda of agree with the Anon, although I'm not so vehement. Feel free to jump on me with both feet, but I do find it slightly ironic that someone hiding their identity has Honesty as an interest.

Anonymous said...

I never got to see Def Leppard. Know why? Honest to god, they came to Nassau Coliseum and I was not allowed to go and see them BECAUSE I FAILED MATH.

sdock10 said...

Jules,

That is so wrong. You missed Def Lepp cause you failed math??? And how many times a day do you use math? Uhhhh, what like 3 times? And how many times do you sing Def Leppard songs or use Def Leppard logic? Like always!!!

That hardly seems fair.

Most common misheard song lyric, that one!

My cousin and I, many years ago, made up an entire somg from the words we misheard in "Blinded By The Light."

Anonymous said...

I know, Solly, I cried for days, I was such a little emo. I was like 14 at the time. I dropped out of math the next effing year.

I never did get to see Def Leppard, and then Steve Clark died and it wasn't the same anymore after that.

Dude, "Blinded By The Light" is the best one to hear WAY different stuff in.

I mean. WAY different.

You're right about that. When Steve died, it changed everything.

I have just looked up the lyrics and am dismayed to find out that for the most part, what we thought were our own made-up lyrics are, in fact, correct.

A place with a pond, in the fifth months when the rains are falling, is a very moving thing. It's deeply affecting to sit for hours on end staring out at the garden, a sea of monochrome soft green with the pond's water as deep green as the sweet flag and reeds that crowd it, and the heavy rain clouds hanging above. Indeed all places with ponds are at all times moving and delightful, and of course this is so too on winter mornings when the water is frozen over. Rather than a carefully tended pond, I find delightful the sort that have been left neglected to the rampant water weed, where patches of reflected moonlight gleam whitely on the water here and there between the swathes of green.

All moonlight is moving, wherever it may be.
