There are so many things missing, last night
Last week, and now quieted by irreverence
Two feet deep and thick with sickness
We are lost and no longer linger. Still
I can reason your denial in difference
Came upon you for thought, and mine
I must say thrust upon me in shame.
I shut my book to save your eyes.
Who is lost in plain sight can speak
As you have always claimed, in truth.
p.s. with an uncompromised view for any other is...well, it is compromised.

it's too good to waste in hiding.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

no no pictures J, photographing bullriding is hard and I forgot my camera yesterday.
but I used to live up there, my rels live right by the beach
Well pj you name is in the first comment.
hello kapu.
well for small amount of time i was here it was nice.
goodnight
J i would so love to have my own revenge on bush
And some wonder why they left....
Dude is funny. That's all I'm gonna say. And I'm glad you had an awesome day, SS. :)
oh hell yes J 4 hrs stuck in a non moving car with a 6yo then a 5 hour drive home- NOT GOOD
Good to see you, Ergo!
I'm off to bed. Sweet dreams, everyone!
Mayo,
I hope you had a wonderful, relaxing Sunday! I did, and now I am off to bed.
Catch ya tomorrow!
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Weirder by the minute.
H K Hi smoke!
anyone want to fill me in on the weekend at mayos??
here? email?
Ergo, I was missing you today! Good to see you back.
RW, I'm sending you hugs and Georgia sunshine!
BlogBelieve,
Wishing you restful sleep and sweete dreams!
Love ya'll BUNCHES!
goodnight and sweet dreams smoke and sdock!
Hello to you too Ergo and MJ. ^_^
That's supahfly, SS!
And you know? You don't really stop and think about those things unless you're asked to. I'm glad you asked us, and like the others, I'm glad your day was awesome. I don't have to tell you to sleep well. Pretty sure you have that one under control!
Mayo,
It's crazy, just sayin'. I live for it. I can pull it apart, rebuild it, make it different, make its meaning change, put my twist on it, but it's so hard to get the meaning.
The same song stuck in my head all day, the same tune was hummed over and over, and it was awesome, but the words just aren't there for me.
I don't connect.
Wishing you a lovely Monday and a wonderful night. Later, dude.
Goodnight Martha, SDock, and Smoke!
We enjoyed having you here, too, MJ. Good luck at work tomorrow, I'll send some good vibes in your direction.
Ergo, apparently SS spent most of the day being a playtoy for various children. He is now "bruised". (Check comments around 6pm tonight.)
SS, baby, try an icepack and ibuprofen. Or some Myoflex. Or all three. Or as they used to say, take two aspirin and call me in the morning.
I DO have that medical background, you know. :)

*nods*
That may be true. But it's unfortunate that you can't ask questions, or have opinions.
Anyway, that batch of chocolate chip cookies I made earlier turned out Ass-tastic.
I think I didn't let the butter thaw long enough. Back to the drawing board. :P

Goodnight Mustard too!
J
hey everybody. :)
i'm enjoying a moolatte. yummmmmm!
How was your birthday, TJ?
J
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amyranth,
Have you tried chilling the dough?
I don't think there is a bad chocolate chip cookie.
it's been a good day, j, a very good day. :)
thank yoooooooou ergo! :D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEEJ!!!
How is your moolatte? Which one did you get? I prefer the mocha myself. Are you SURE you're not a Bull in Twins clothing?
-A
ergo, i got your email (where's my cowboy?) i just haven't responded to it yet.
this is only the second one i've ever had, amyranth -- i had the mocha the first time, this time i went with the cappuccino.
it's sooooooooooooo good.
(i am a gemini on the cusp, you know -- there's a bit of taurus in the mix!)
When one's returned home on a visit and a senior courtier or someone of the sort comes to call, it would seem that there's gossip and criticism. I don't let this annoy me, since after all I'm not renowned for my modesty and prudence. And anyway, how am I to simply announce that I'm not at home to people who come calling day and night, and send them away again shamefaced? People will come visiting, even if they aren't really very intimate with you.
Happy Birthday Shirley
"Dear me, have you written a poem? I refuse to read it!" he exclaimed, and he flipped it back to me with his fan and fled.
And so it was that this relationship, once so close and mutually supportive, for no real reason began to turn a little sour. Then a letter came from him. "Though things may have gone wrong between us, still I would wish that you remember the loving vows we made, and when we meet out in the world that you woul dlook on me as one who has been your brother."
Look what the cyclone blew in! Hey Elena, long time no see! *hugs* I've missed you.
J
that's ok TJ I was on my phone so it was only quick
there were a few nice lookers but some are probably a little bruised.
Norimitsu often used to say, "If a woman chooses to love me, she should never press poems on me. ANy woman who does this is no friend of mine...."
So in reply to his message, I sent him this poem.
Brother and Sister hills
have crumbled, and between them
Yoshino River flows no more--
so I can no longer see you
even as "he that used to be."
Whether he read it or not I do not know, but no reply ever came.
Hi elena!
thanks for the shirt!
laverne!!! :D
i was so hoping you'd be online tonight. :)
Anon, these ones definitely didn't come out good.
I've never chilled the dough before in my life actually, does that work?
The method I was taught involves thawing a stick of butter, and creaming it with Brown sugar, white sugar and a teaspoon of Vanilla Extract. It works out really well when the butter is thawed properly, but if it's not, or if it's too soft, the cookies get hard, or flat depending.
-A
Or maybe he just didn't give a shit.
Ok, I'm totally going to annoy everyone with this, but:
It's officially L's birthday! She's already gone to bed, but she said she'll be on tomorrow.
She's a true Gemini, TJ. No cusp-riding for her! She is SUCH a Gemini it hurts my brain.
J
Chilling dough prevents spreading.
amy chilling the dough can help if the mix is a soft one.
those bikkies have no flour in them at all?
you can make dough roll it into a roll in greaseproof paper and freeze it, cut it into rounds with out thawing and bake straight from that, it's easy to make double the mix and freeze half
oh hey, get this. amyranth, do you remember earlier today you said you'd bake me a cake and i asked for german chocolate?
tonight when we got back from dinner, my sister surprised me with a birthday cake (candles and all). it was german chocolate.
she didn't even know it was one of my favorites -- when i told her it was, and explained about it being the cake i associate with dad, she was surprised, she had no idea.
and they all sang "happy birthday" to me, i made a wish, all of it.
it actually brought tears to my eyes. so weird.
but, amyranth, how did you bake the cake so fast and ship it to kentucky? lol
oh happy birthday to L too!
TEEJ, OM NOM NOM.
I'm so bad, whenever I go to DQ, I always want a Moolatte. And an ice cream, and a cheeseburger and...
You see my point.
-A
DAMN!!! I was all lurking to be the first to wish L a happy birthday, and I missed!!!
haha you cannot beat me Carrie I am speedy.....like a fox
how are you?
and what is a moolatte?
Anon, spreading. Really? I know that I frequently see shortbread cookies made from a chilled dough, but I never thought to ask why.
Ergo, they do have flour in them. The first step is to combine the flour, baking power and salt in one bowl. The second part is creaming the butter and sugars together in the second bowl.
I think that maybe because I spent too much time trying to work the butter and sugar together, it made the cookies hard and crunchy, as opposed to the usual soft and chewy.
They only bake for 10 minutes, usually.
-A thinks about more than food! Really!
Teej, you know better than to ask!
I'm magick, that's why. ;D
-A
Well J
We are officially under a tornado watch!
Ergo you are very welcome. I tried to get Ray for ya but that's the best I could do.
TJ I'm sorry your gift didn't arrive yesterday. Damn I paid for Priority Shipping!
There are also times when you send someone a poem you're rather pleased with, andfail to receive one in reply. Of course there's no more to be done about it.... Even so, you do lose respect for someone who doesn't produce any response to your tasteful seasonal references. It also dampens the spirit when you're leading a heady life in the swim of things and you receive some boring little old fashioned poem that reeks of the longueurs of the writer, whose time weighs heavy on her hands.
a moolatte is coffee and ice cream, blended and thick like a shake, ergo.
it's a bit like a frappuccino, but more on the ice cream dessert side of things.
All those who really rely on him feel quite devastated. As evening comes, a few among the people who've been packed in together waiting begin to creep stealthily away. Those who have been many years in his service, however, can't bring themselves to leave his side so lightly. It's terribly touching to see them weaving solemnly about as they pace the room, hopefully counting on their fingers the provincial governorships due to come to the end of their term the following year.

Slovenly looking things - The rear view of a man wearing a stone belt in Chinese paintings. The behavior of holy men.
Ergo, Carrie, thanks for the birthday wishes for L! I posted a birthday blogpost for her at "Bollocks" if you'd like to leave her a message. (hinthint)
No pressure, really.
:D
Amy, best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever? The one on the package of Toll House chips. Talk about NOM NOM NOM!
J
Oh shit, Elena, and here I was, kidding about a cyclone! Wizard of Oz reference be damned!
Let us know what's happening, ok?
J
I see amy, you may have worked them too much
you should google cookie mistakes and see if it says why.
oh elena! be careful!!
they've had some bad ones over there
Things that prove disillusioning - Nothing in all the world could be worse than a man or woman who turns out to use words vulgarly. I wonder what the strange quality is in a single word that can make it vulgar or tasteful - though of course the person making this judgment isn't necessarily so splendid herself! And if that's the case, how can one judge what's good and what's not?Well, I don't know about others, but I simply go by my own feelings in the matter.
It's actually not a bad thing to use vulgar or unseemly words intentionally, knowing them for what they are. What's astonishing is when someone produces a word from their private store without pausing to consider its nature.
Leave him be.
An Anon in armour?

Winter is best when it's fearfully cold, while summer is most summer-like when it's impossibly hot.
Yeah the weather has been wicked lately. Don't worry it's just same old same old here.
TJ that would be your birthday gift of course.
Hey Amy, more cookies?
Things that give you pleasure -
You've read the first volume of a tale you hadn't come across before, and are longing to go on with it - then you find another volume. The rest of it can sometimes turn out to be disappointing, however.
When a poem that you've composed for some event, or in an exchange of poems, is talked of by everyone and noted down when thy hear it. This hasn't yet happened to me personally, but I can imagine how it would feel.
When someone you don't like meets with misfortune, you're pleased even though you know this is wicked of you.
If an author of a tale uses poor language it makes you quite despair, and you find yourself squirming with embarrassment for the writer as well.
oh, elena.
*wiggles with excitement*
:D
who is the anon talking about?
TJ a little coffeeshop here does moolattes then, iced coffee but made with icecream and cream - soooooooooo yummy
Ergo, yeah, I figured I had overworked them quite a bit. Oh well. Another bag of chocolate chips, and I try again.
The bright side is nothing ever goes to waste in this house. A small wonder he doesn't weigh an extra 20 pounds!
Elena, tons of cookies, in the kitchen.
-A
Still, Elena, we worry about you out there in the middle of America's Heartland. :)
I think I'm gonna go to bed. Big day tomorrow! All we have planned, so far, is going to Target so I can buy L a set of sheets for her bday (yes, that's what she wants) and dinner (at Amerigo's, an Italian place that opened here a couple months ago). Yeah, we're just runnin' wild out there!
Goodnight Elena, Ergo, Amy, TJ, PJ if you're still around but just not talking, Carrie, and the Anons!
Catch you all tomorrow sometime! Happy Memorial Day!

Mayo,
Two words:
L's Birthday.
Two more words:
Purple Dyson.
Just sayin'.
(Actually, just kidding too. Maybe something smaller and easier to ship. Like a case of Starbucks Italian Roast.)
Goodnight!
love to you

Goodnight J!
I'm saving up for a Dyson. Someday...
*sighs like a dreamy schoolgirl*

goodnight J sweet dreams
hope L has a lovely day tomorrow
Ergo, is that where you vacationed? It looks beautiful!
-A
yeah we just got back fromt eh weekend, I was born there and have relatives there so I hvae spent a LOT of time in townsville
this is from a fair bit back and it's very green so it's a bit browner at the moment (dry season) but in the background is Magnetic Is which is gorgeous one of the bays
Night J
Talk to you and L tomorrow.
SS baby,
Seriously, use the icepacks and ibuprofen.
I'm glad you had a good time today. Hopefully the kids didn't show you up too badly...karate? Oh baby. No. Just, no.
To borrow RW's face, O_o
Sorry I missed you tonight; the timing, hunh? Ah well. Another day, I'm sure.
Take care of yourself and watch out for those kids. ;)
Love you, Precious.
My heart to yours, always.
J
I'm sure SSs girlfriend or fiance or wife will take care of him just fine. He's not alone.
anon perhaps the kids have him tied down a la Gullivers travels now though!
I hope his partner has him safe , or carries scissors
TJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ELENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are you still here?
You know Ergo, I think it's awesome when you can find beauty within your own country. I know of a few people who think they need to leave where they are to find something beautiful, and you almost never do.
-A
Yes Ergo
Ergo, they're huddled in the corner chatting over Moolattes.
-A
I haven't talked to you for days elena, everything been OK?
I'm going to go far a walk tomorrow or at least soon to find a rock to send you
amy I know people take their own places for granted sometimes, and we are really lucky to live where we do, I'd love to travel to more of Aust, there is still so much we haven't seen
when did mayo put reason?
recently or ages ago?
no body loves me everybody hates me think I'll go and eat worms....
Amy do you make muffins?
I'm okay, Ergo. Just having one of those days.
Not good, not bad just there, you know?
I've reserved a special place in my rock garden for your offering.
Anon, my little vice is that while I DO, they're the ones from the Duncan Hines box.
*blushes a bit*
-A
thanks Elena :)
I shall choose a pretty coloured and shaped one, not too big though don't want to pay tonnes of postage! get it - rock - tonnes...
sorry your having a blah day, I have just driven 5 hours so I'm tired. I shall be having a nice relaxing and early night tonight
There's nothing wrong with that amy!
I wanted something different today. I was naughty last night and came home early morning with a slight hang-over, and couldn't sleep, so I made a batch of banana-blueberry cornmeal muffins.
Those, and a very strong coffee helped :)
Ergo, I believe he put up Reason after he made his most recent post.
-A
I'm not sure what amazes me more. That someone can have a slight hangover and not sleep, or have a slight hangover, sleep deprivation, and still make muffins from scratch!
Are you Martha Stewart? *eyes*
-A
I'm bone tired tonight Ergo yet I know I won't sleep. Does that ever happen to you? You'll be so tired yet your brain just won't turn off?
Elena, that happens to me whenever I have to be to work for 6 am.
I know I need sleep, I even force myself to go to bed. All I get for my troubles is a massive headache and no, or little sleep.
I think it's a curse from my old backshift days.

thanks amy
anon sounds nice, you must share them next time you bake :)
Actually, don't laugh, I do like to collect her magazines, and yes, it was one of her recipes.
*blushes*
elena, I find that if I'm constantly thinking of trying to sleep, I can't, but if I start doing something to take my mind off it, it seems to relax my mind enough to make it happen. (hence the muffin making)
elena I know exactly what you mean - that's the crux of my insomnia.
I take medication now but before when it was less persistant I took valerian (like I suggested to sdock) it helps turn off your brain.
I would get stuck with like song lyrics and not even songs I liked! Just repetitive, and looking at the clock and thinking "oh it's only 5 mins since I looked, and constantly calculating the time I had to get to sleep, just insane constant thought.
really try getting valerian (check against other medication if your're taking any) but it is really good 2000mg just one tablet about an hour before bed.
I like her wedding magazines.
Okay, seriously, who am I shitting? I just like wedding magazines.
And I agree with Ergo, pass on that recipe, yo!
Also, Williams-Sonoma is a great recipe source as well. I go in there just ti pick up recipe cards. They have recipes on the website too that you can just print off. A lot of their food is excellent as well. My Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe is from them, and it never fails to please.

you could try drinking warmed milk with 2 tsp of honey
they help increase serotonin, add malt powder too if you have it
I would get stuck with like song lyrics and not even songs I liked! Just repetitive, and looking at the clock and thinking "oh it's only 5 mins since I looked, and constantly calculating the time I had to get to sleep, just insane constant thought.
That drives me nuts!
2AM, and I'm trying to think of nothing but quiet darkness, hoping my brain will get the picture.
A few seconds later..
Hey, do you think that baby ducks have yellow down at birth, or does it turn yellow gradually?You've seen white ducks, right? What if they go white, yellow, white? What about Mallards? What about Wood Ducks? Loons?
And then I'm checking the time, and no luck. It's been another 45 minutes closer to work, and I've got less than an hour's sleep under my belt.
-A
amy yes!
stupid thoughts are the pits! If I was actually worrying over something decent at least I wouldn't feel so stupid!
Exactly!
If you haven't got REAL thoughts to keep you up at night, you feel like an idiot lying there debating whether or not the count of kernels in a microwave popcorn bag is the same from box to box or not.
As you can see, I spend a LOT of time awake.
-A
I'm going to fess up, I love reading her mags! What's wrong with nice food, clean sheets, a fresh smelling home, and something comfortable to lie on? Nothing. And personally, I like warm, inviting houses :)
Here's the recipe
Banana - blueberry cornmeal muffins
vegetable oil cooking spray
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup low fat buttermilk
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 1/2 teaspoons of granulating sugar
1. Preheat oven to 375. Line a standard 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners. Coat liners with cooking spray
2. Whisk together cornmeal, baking powder, soda, salt and 1 cup flour. In a large bowl mix bananas, buttermilk, honey, lemon juice, egg and vanilla. Fold cornmeal mixture into this, until combined. Toss blueberries into batter and lightly fold.
3. Spoon batter into tin, and fill to brim. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 30 minutes. Voila!

Testify Sister!
Thank you so much for the recipe! I'm going to try making them sober first though. My hangovers aren't conducive to walking on my own, let alone operating appliances.

Anon only problem is I don't bake. Well I've tried but always with horrible results!
Ergo I take no medication. I'm really weird about that. I just can't make myself do it. Not exactly a fear but still....
Oh and I hate milk. Truly I give dairy cows the evil eye.

Thanks anon !!
Beautiful boy, you mean the world to me
This is for you
Oh love, hang on,
I’ve gotta say this right
'Cause I only get one shot,
Once in my life
'Cause I want to grow old with you
And I want you to hold me forever
Do you think that you love me?
'Cause I do, I do, I do
Do you want that forever?
'Cause I do, I do, I do
Do you want me to share your life with you?
I do, I do, I do
Oh love, hang on,
If you're willing,
I’ll be strong
And I’ll give you the life that you deserve
'Cause I want you to know all of me
And I, I want to hold you forever
Do you think that you love me?
'Cause I do, I do, I do
Do you want that forever?
'Cause I do, I do, I do
Do you want me to brave this world for you?
I do, I do, I do
I do, I do, I do, I do
You are very welcome. I think the men in your lives might enjoy them also!
All men like being spoiled :)
I get you elena, honey is very good, especially the really pure stuff, or there are teas, but warm water and a big couple of tsps of hony and a bit of lemon if you like and sip it

Tell me about it, mine's rotten to the core because of it.

Ergo, I almost read that as couple of teaspoons of horny ^_~
Must be that time of night!
Elena, get yourself some Lavender or Chamomile Tea.
Chamomile knocks me out cold, and Lavender after a hot bath has the same effect.
You can get Chamomile from the grocery store, either Twinnings or Celestial Seasonings. CS also makes a Sleepytime Tea which really helps as well.

hi i'm back!
sory i disappeared -- i went out to the kitchen to toss my (sadly) empty moolatte cup, and got into a conversation with mom -- womb and tomb stories, you know. my birth, her mom's death, dad's death, family drama (having both been in therapy at one point, we always rehash old dramas for the psychology underlying it...)
but here's the weird thing -- i was talking with her through the time of my birth (some certain unknown years ago...*ahem*) -- it's like i had to be with her again. i've been reborn!
it's aliiiiiive!
i'm officially 12 minutes into my new year.

Well, yeah. That'll knock you out too.
-A isn't much better at this point!
Amy, they're just all boys at heart!
I'll try the tea, Amy.
Thanks
they sure so anon!
I shall have to buy some ingredients next I shop, tonight he'll have to settle for a nice spicy chorizo pasta sauce and perhaps some garlic bread
Anon, you called it!
You know, it's not a bad thing though. I like that charm that guys have, especially my guy.
I wonder how that changes when the kids come along?
-A
Ergo, mine had to settle for Mango Chicken with rice and Naan. He had a real sad face leaving for work. :D
-A
lol well a couple of teaspoons of horny could help too!
Elena, camomile tea is very good to calm down.
And you could purchase a diffuser that you could burn some lavender oil or mix the oil with some cream or bath oil. That's very relaxing. And they also make blends to help you sleep.
amy if your guy is a good one it'll still be there after kids!
and they'll charm the socks off the kids too!
Amy I assume when the kiddies come, you just have a big kid, and a small kid :D
Ergo, charm works well on kids, so God help them if Dad doesn't have it, cause Momma sure as hell don't!
Just kidding.
Sorta.

hey again TJ How interesting, I love hearing stories from relatives, some are great. my aunt was telling me about my great grandpa who accidently mostly chopped fingers off with an axe, cut the rest off with scissors and just dipped them in iodine, then carried on.....*cringe* then he lost the tops of others in a folding canvas chair and did the same!!!
naaan, ummm.
Anon, here's hoping!
They say that Capricorns get younger emotionally as they get older physically. Apparently, they make amazing parents because of this.
-A
Ergo, what?
He lost his fingers to a FOLDING CHAIR?

Thanks anon
I do love the smell of lavender. One of my daughters once made me a little animal filled with lavender. I still have it, it's a silly red lizard.
Elena, nuke it.
The heat brings out the smell.
-A
Lavender is a lovely smell, Elena. But I'm quite partial to vanilla at the moment.
wow, ergo. you come from very hardy stock. i'm impressed!
amy mine is a capricorn and yes they seem to be able to keep that young idea of fun, mine hasn't gotten jaded, unlike his younger brother, mine will be making forts, go carts, chasing kids about, kicking a soccer ball etc while other dads stand about with beers and he's mid 30's
amy it was a lounger thing with a bar across the back to adjust the height by going into different slots (this was 50 odd yrs ago) and my mums cousin was bouncing on his lap and it moved and his hand got in the way
TJ I don't think I'm that tough, it was a different time back then!
some mindless trivia-- apparently the smell of lavender and pumpkin combined together arouses men.
I like vanilla too, anon. My grandma told me once that when she was young they were very poor and couldn't affort perfume so she would dab vanilla behind her ears.
ah, but the times are different, ergo -- maybe you've met challenges with as much strength as he did and have given it little thought, just you doing what seemed appropriate.

I saw in the comment L left with my goodnight last night that she promised I’d do a double shot of Elena’s goodnight tonight. Don’t worry Hun, it ain’t gonna happen. I don’t think anyone in their right mind could take a double shot of Elena’s nonsense. So tonight a short ramble, as I can’t gather my thoughts. I’m sitting here listening to the rain and thinking. I truly wish I could just listen to the rain. The thoughts are troublesome. They won’t leave me alone.
Ah, but the sound of the rain. It’s beautiful. I’ve left the window open knowing full well that raindrops are seeping in but still……I can’t shut out the sound or smell of the rain. It’s cleansing. I need that so much.
So since I have no words to offer you that will make sense I want to share a poem I read today. Something about it touched me. The author is Derek Walcott.
Love after Love
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other’s welcome
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you.
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel you own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
Night Mayo
Elena (flash of lightening, count until the roar)
thanks TJ that is a really cool way of thinking about it
pumpkin and lavender huh?
(not that he needs much encouragement I think breathing arouses men!)
*checks pantry*
actually after the weekend I think i just need a decent sleep....maybe tomorrow
i love that poem.
goodnight elena sweet dreams, or at least sweet enjoyment of natures precipitative symphony
Nite Elena and goodnight all.
Goodnight Anon! Thanks for talking recipes with us!

goodnight anon sweet dreams
I think I'll hit the sack too. I don't have to work until late, but DAMN, where'd those dishes come from?
Goodnight Lovelies, SS and Mayo!

Goodnight Ergo and Teej!
I hope you enjoyed your magick cake!

loved it! :)
TJ I must go to, it's time for baths and making dinner, perhaps with a glass of wine first
So showering you with birthday wishes, lotsa love ! ♥
thank you ergo! have a good day. :)
i'm alone.
it's a dark and stormy night.
um....
mayo?
is that you i see sitting in the corner?
To May 25, 6:07 p.m.
My message is for you
You are everywhere
When the sun shines, remember me, as I remember you
No matter where you are, I’m there too
AG just email them
mayo,
your place is really creepy at night. and the thunder and lightning really don't help matters much, either. (yeah, it's storming here, too.)
but i had a lovely day here. i didn't intend to spend the day on the blog, but i had fun doing so.
so, it was a good birthday.
and hearing the story of my birth...
well, i've heard it before, but not with as many details as tonight. it's an amazing thing, to know how your family felt just before you arrived, to know you were greeted with happy tears.
mayo, do you know your story? is that something that guys get told, or is that a mother-daughter thing? i'll never understand that story the way my sisters do, with memories of their own pregnancies, but still, it's a curiously grounding thing, to have that story in one's possession.
to know that there was a time before, to know how you were greeted. and for me, to know that i was greeted, that i made it. i almost didn't -- cord around my neck. (maybe that explains some things -- that momentary lack of oxygen to my brain...*grin*)
it's a story that gives you an appreciation for a very simple fact: i am alive. i exist.
today i made wishes.
tonight i will give thanks.
another threshold crossed safely, and crossed well. a new year in front of me, and oh, how good this last one has been, with so many gifts, so many changes.
mayo, my friend, thank you for your part in it. you might never truly understand how important you are to me, but believe this: i owe you so much.
i will do my best to honor that debt.
good night, mayo.
sleep tight.
bye TJ!!
glad you had a lovely birthday!
morning mayo!

Anyway I hope everyone here has a great Monday.
LAter
hey mayo how are you? Did you notice me missing at all? lol I really don't expect you to, and I did say I'd be away for the weekend. So I had a really good time, the bullriding show , Troy Dunn's PPBr Bullriding Internationsal Challenge to be specific was really good, a very entertaining night and not too expensive. Also great was seeing my 91 yo grnandmother and my aunt and uncle and cousin, and deciding to stay an extra day , when you're a biit tired, staying by the beach and with good company, wasn't hard. I must admit though I was a bit concerned about catching up with TJ for her birthday, and I really missed hearing from everyone for a couple of days. Funny how it's sort of part of my life now.
So I had a great weekend but I'm happy to be home too :)
so wishing gratefulness, appreciation, humility and wisdom to you and yours much love EP xx
SS - done by a kid huh? sometimes it's just something you have to accept. Hope you're well , adn not too sore
sending love, fun and delight to you and those you love lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbeliev,
hi fasc Pp kass etc and MJ hope work goes ok
night!
Hiya fam! I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes -made my day! Truly appreciated! I hope TJ had a lovely day and I'm hoping OP L has a grand one today! :D
Also wanted to ask the friendly anon the other night to come hang out again, were lovely company. I don't come by here much, but I'm easy to reach -and you would be too -if ya went blue!! ;)
I hope everyone is well and enjoying their holiday this weekend! Mayo and Ss too. -Sorry to hear about the bruises Ss, but those given by family -are some of the very best to get! (well, I could say something else in regards, but I think I'll just leave it at that!) ;p And Mayo, I hope you are feeling better, you seemed sad. I hope you find reason to be happier.
Thanks again everyone, you make me miss this place! Kiss to Far! loves-l
Lewis
I left a note at your blog, and thank you again.
See, I'm blue now!
We shall talk again soon :)
hey lewis sorry i missed wishing you happy birthday- so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

*aaa-chooo* Excuse me!
Good morning/afternoon/night Mayo, SS, Ergo, Persephone, Amy, TJ, Elena, Martha, the night shift, FASC, Kass, Possum, Miranth, watchers, lurkers, cookie makers and muffin bakers of blogbelieve!
How are you all today? Cold free, I hope! I am not *sigh* I shall be coughing and sneezing for at least 3 weeks.....I just know it. Oh well, such is life!
SS: Sorry to hear you were battered and bruised. Ohhh.....the humiliation of getting your butt kicked by 10 year olds. I know that feeling! Actually, I usually get my butt kicked by 9 year olds *blushes*
It seems to bring my nephew and friends GREAT joy! :))
I hope you are pain and humiliation free soon!
HAPPY Memorial Day to my fellow Americans!
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY L !!!!!!!

Darn! I screwed up your first link L....
I'm sorry. It was the sneezing that did it! *wink*
Here you go:
Attempt 2 for L
:P
Thanks for the recipe, recipe anon!
Those muffins sound scumptious (and yummy too)!
*note to self: try muffin recipe as soon as I stop sneezing*
*addendum to note: make lavender and pumpkin candles as well*
Good Morning!
Just popped in real quick before heading into the kitchen to make yet another dozen batches (or so) of cookies for the day and saw that someone has a cold...
Here anon616, I made you a special eucalyptus & citrus cookie to help clear you up and also a cup of green mint tea to stop the sneezing. Hope they help!
Gotta run! Hope everyone enjoyed the Texas-sized Birthday cookie-cake I left!
:)
Hello to all...
Happy Birthday L *hope you like your gift*
Wendy hope you feel better!
cookie anon - uh didn't see the Texas-size cookie cake you left. Uh was that a particular shape?
I'm outta here for a book-hunting day. Hope to find some treasures!
Take care everyone.
Mayo - get out there and make the day your own.
SS - glad to see you had some fun yesterday with family and friends. Treasure those memories.
I wonder whatever became of Roaring Prometheus. It's funny how all these people try to say they are not starting trouble then once it's found out they are, they just never come back.

MEMORIAL DAY
By: Del Abe Jones
A time for picnics, time off work -
Vacations and the "Indy" -
A holiday, too often times
We forget what, it should be.
A time to pay respect to those
Who rallied to the battle cry -
Who gave their lives for liberty -
Those freedoms for you and I.
Such a waste of brave young souls -
Some still struggling through their youth
Who faced and fell willingly
Before wartimes' awful truth.
So as we share this holiday
With our friends or family -
Take a moment to give thanks to
Those who died so we'd stay free.
Let us strive for world peace -
For the end of greed and hate -
For next time, after "the war"
It just may be too damned late.
Because sometimes, we all need a little reminding.
Mayo and BlogBeleive,
Have a great day!
Love ya'll!
Happy Birthday, L!
Make it the best one ever!!
Georgia Sunshine
For you Sun! :)
Happy birthday, L!
Have a good one, BlogBelieve!
Mayo,
Hope you're doing okay today.
SS,
You, too. Maybe you aren't too beat up! :)
I am incredibly bad. I took complete advantage of this day and slept in way too long. But, it was a great sleep!
It's days like today that I don't really know what to do or what to say. It makes me feel so small and insignificant and really out of place at times.
What do you say? "Thank you?" And how do you make it audible and sound as sincere as you feel on the inside? "Thank you" just doesn't feel like it should cut it.
But that's all we can say. That's all we can send up to wherever we send our thoughts to. So, I'll do that today, because I am thankful our country is as free as it is, and that we have it so much better than a lot of other countries. I'll say "Thank you."
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these, time and time again
Additionally, my sincerest apologies for not having already wished Lewis and TJ a wonderful Birthday. I've been a tad preoccupied, but I do hope they were all you had hoped for. And Happy Birthday to L as well. Have a nice day today.
*aaaa-choooo* Excuse me!
*finds special eucalyptus & citrus cookie and green mint tea*
Cookie anon! Thank you so much!
*huge smile*
I feel much better already.
*extra special pounce tackle hug and smooch for you*

Hi Elena, Mustard, Sdock!
Sdock: Yes, we do often forget the meaning(s) behind the
holiday(s). Thank you for posting the poem to remind us all.
Mustard: You are correct. A mere 'thank you' does not seem to be enough, does it. But, I have no doubt, the 'thank yous' are very much appreciated! And HUGS!
Elena: Where have you been, woman?
How's Jake? Did you get the pictures I sent? Sandy Ann wants to know what Jake thinks of her.
;)
Now, where is this TEXAS sized cookie cake?
I heart Texas AND cookies!
Hey everyone! Princess, that is a gorgeous photo. Hope you're all doing something fun and relaxing. I am cleaning the house, taking care of birds, then I guess I'll give my dogs a bath. That's always an adventure. It's about seventy degrees here. not too shabby!
Speaking of TEXAS, you all have the details for OZZFEST 2008, correct?
What's that? NO? Some of you don't have the details????
Well, we simply can not have that!
The lineup for the 2008 Ozzfest has been announced. The tour won’t be its original across the country round of shows this year though. Instead, the tour will be a one stop show in Dallas, TX on August 9th.
The show will be headlined by Ozzy Osbourne and co-headlined by Metallica.
Main stage lineup:
Serj Tankian (System of a Down)
Hellyeah!!!!!!
APOCALYTPICA!!!!!
Jonathan Davis (Korn)
Cavalera Conspiracy
Shadows Fall
In This Moment
Also scheduled on the main stage is a special all-star tribute to slain Pantera guitarist ‘Dimebag’ Darrell Abbott.
Second stage acts include Sevendust, Devildriver, Kingdom of Sorrow, Soilent Green, Witchcraft and Goatwhore. The Texas (third) stage—“an homage to the “many great metal bands that come from Texas,” says Sharon Osbourne–features The Sword, Drowning Pool and Rigor Mortis.
*happy happy happy dance*
T'is going to be another GREAT show!
Kapunua, I caught up and read what happened yesterday with all the anons. I hope you don't trust all of them. Could one of them know you in real life? Could it be someone from where you used to work. Just think about that and be safe. Ok now I have to say something to you. I thought you were annoying for a while. I thought you talked too much and wrote too much poetry and hogged Mayo all the time. I know I'm not the only one. But then things started to change and I started to see you differently. One thing that changed it was when you lost your job. Most people would have whined and felt sorry for themselves and probably been depressed. But you, you picked yourself up still wearing a smile and decided to move on. I realized that's why alot of people dislike you, you are what so many people hate. You are an optimist. When people try to destroy you and you smile at them, they hate that even more. But I found respect in that. A woman never knows how strong she is until she gets into hot water. Then Mayo. I thought you were annoying to him. It annoyed me too. But now I see that you just cared for him and thought of him as a friend. Which is no different from anyone else here. When he had nothing nice or supportive to say to you after you lost your job all of a sudden I just felt bad. I could see you felt let down. Out in the cold. And I felt bad. I was never one of the really mean vultures, I just used to quietly be bothered by you. But I have grown respect for you since then and I just want to say keep on trucking and may all your dreams come true. You deserve better. Ok, out.
Wow that was long. Sorry.
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
This tune is so freakin' catchy, I swear.
But know this, I would fight for each and every one of you...each and every one.
I don't think he excluded anyone in saying that.
-A
Mayo doesn't give a crap about Kapunua. No wonder she felt let down when he just ignored the damage the mean anons caused her and looked the other way.
It amazes me when people think that Mayo could hate Kapunua or he stopped talking to her. I didn't see that. I've been watching since around November. She has always been The Protagonist. he has kept talking to her and sent riddles to her. This post could even be to her. He was "pleased" when she got "sharp". Miranth asked what Keiser Soze was about. Just like with so many other riddles that was to Kapunua. I know that was a long time ago but he never stopped talking to her. Sure he used to talk more openly but did anyone ever stop to think that the anons who were saying he hated her, were making it awkward for him to address her by name... like he used to. I see awkwardness but I just don't see the hate.

-A
He said it, but he didn't do shit.
I disagree anon at 11:53. I think the anons just made it too awkward and maybe he was afraid she'd be targeted worse if he talked to her the way he always used to.
SS wasn't afraid of the backlash. Why would Mayo be?
Remember how I said my roommate moved out and stiffed me on $800 in rent?
The mailman just delivered her Income Tax Check to my house.
*cackles evilly*
-A
It has become harder for everyone to speak in here lately. Seems someone is always picking on someone else or being targeted. Sometimes it's just easier to keep your mouth shut and not say anything at all.
And that saddens me, because we all used to have so much to say. Not only to Mayo, but to each other.
Ooooh, Amy!
You wouldn't....would you?
I rule the universe!
I rule the world!
Sure he used to talk more openly but did anyone ever stop to think that the anons who were saying he hated her, were making it awkward for him to address her by name... like he used to
What? How would that make it awkward for him? Anons kept saying SS hated her as well, but it didn't stop him talking to her and addressing her by name. He even joked about it! This is Mayo's blog and he can do whatever the hell he likes, if he wanted to talk to her, he would. There is no awkwardness, if he wanted to shut up the bitchy anons all he has to do is talk to her but he won't. I'm sure he isn't bothered what the bitchy anons think about him so he's obviously ignoring her through choice. Leave him alone.
I rule!
I agree, Sdock.
Guess not.
No, you still rule. :)
Hey Anon, I highly doubt that Jules was the only one who was able to figure out Mayo's riddles. The rest of us aren't exactly brainless slaves that do nothing but come here and spout gibberish, thanks.
Solly, it happens everywhere, not just here. All sorts of boards and chatrooms go through a cycle like this. It's up to you to decide if it's worth holding onto.
