As any good poem will do, I was moved to another place. Taken back to a day long ago when I was twelve, no maybe eleven, and had spent a good portion of the afternoon alone foraging around in the yard. Aside from some awkward social issues, I was content (even the social issues contented me because it gave me the excuse to be alone). So that particular day, standing in my yard, breathing in the warm fresh air of spring, I recall being rained upon by helicopters. I collected them all in a box, or perhaps it was a bucket, and climbed my favorite tree as high as I could and re-released them to the ground. It was my intention to allow them a second flight, to once again be aloft.
It is amazing how similar we are, humans. Inhale (I’m), exhale (here). At the very core we exist, our attempts to make our lives enjoyable or in some instances passable should be worthy. Take it in, the amazing, the simple, the meaningful and give it away, just the same.
As I have said (and as some have speculated) I am privileged to have a few places to spout off (last count...Three, “oh lucky me.”). Of course, some of my words were never intended to be read by anyone other than the one I wrote them for and in some cases no one at all. These places have never intersected, until now. I have been reminded to rip myself open. So, I have gathered up these words for a second flight.
Her fingers weave through my hair
And her breath is a reminder (that I breathe)
In and out, slow and almost silent
I'm

Her evening promise
brings me rest.
When I wake, whenever that may be
I can tell her anything
and she believes
And I understand
the weight of trust.
She begs me for more,
more anything, more everything
and I oblige, within reason
I can give endlessly
and she will return the favor.
She is at once present
and future entwined
For years in the making
and each moment a step
closer to letting go.
p.s. but once I am dead, Dis.
The written word, in any form, is a powerful gift. But, it can also destroy.

«Oldest ‹Older 3001 – 3200 of 7161 Newer› Newest»The awful dream I had last night is as follows.
It begins pleasantly enough, with a personal visit to my parents' house from Barrack Obama. He is campaigning and pushing his new idea that is supposed to help even out the cost of universal health care. In his plan, hospitals only stay open for four years before closing down and being rebuilt. Don't ask me for the logic, okay, it's just a dream. He and my father start to discuss workman's compensation laws in detail and I'm listening and thinking, "This is such a fantastic moment. I feel like I'm a part of history."
By and by more people start to fill my parents' living room. Not just family members, but other people who want to hear his ideas. Some lady wheels in a little girl in a tremendous wheelchair. It's so big they had to come in through the bay window instead of the door (only don't ask me how they got up there.) She is horribly burned, missing her arms and legs, and almost unrecognizable as a human. There are balloons tied to her wheelchair which only seems to add to the pathos.
Now the room is full, and I look over at my parents' brick fireplace and a see a face coming out from between the bricks. It's not a ghostly face; it looks material enough, and I go over to see who it is and what it wants. It ends up being my uncle-in-law. His wife, my aunt-in-law, died in February, but in the dream, it was he who died instead. Instead, she is sitting next to his face on the fireplace, only she can't see him. I realize that no one can see him but me. This makes me feel terrible and sad for him, so I go over to talk to him. I'm aware that some people are looking at me but I don't care; I want them to know that there's a dead person in the room.
When I get closer I see that his face is only vaguely like a human face. The most startling of all is his eyes: now he's got four of them, and they are elongated, like slits, turned up at the sides, and all the irises are milky blue to white. There are two where normal eyes should go, and two on the sides of his head. But I think he doesn't know this, and I don't want to make it awkward for him so I pretend as if everything is normal.
"How have you been since you died?" I ask him.
"Lonely," he says. "No one can see me and no one ever talks to me anymore."
"I can see you," I tell him. And I feel so sad that he's lonely that I want to try to lighten the mood and make it seem natural. I take a tone that's conspiratorial and gossipy in a light-hearted way and I ask him, "so what's it like after death? What do you see? Is it nice?"
He tells me, "I can't see anything unless I come back to this life, and then no one can see me."
"Maybe that's what your other set of eyes is for," I tell him. Then I remember that he doesn't even know he's got the other set of eyes so I point them out to him. "They don't look bad or anything," I say, even though they are in fact very shocking. "Try to look up with them and see what happens."
Then he rolls one set of eyes up, which looks really frightening--although I remind myself that he himself is not going to hurt me--and he says, "You're right! I can see a lot from here. I can see heaven. Why can't I get to it?"
It occurs to me that maybe he can't get to it because he's stuck in the bricks of my parents' fireplace and I am just about to tell him this, when his mood changes. "I see something you're not going to like," he tells me, and my heart sinks because somehow I already know what he's going to tell me. "It's your cousin," he says.
My cousin SB, the boy who in real life grew up close to me, whose diapers I changed, whom I watched go through school and cried at his graduation, who I never see much anymore these days and against whom I generally measure the rest of humanity and see that it falls short of him. That's not hyperbole, by the way. There are three people I'd die for without question, without even considering why if I had to and he's one of them. Sometimes it seems to me like he's my own kid; I guess this is how mothers feel or something.
In the dream I realize what my uncle is going to say before he says it, and I try to stop him saying it but he does anyway. "Your SB got struck by lightning," he says.
Then I start to get angry. "Well tell someone to bring him back!" I tell him. "Tell them they can't keep him, we'll do a trade!"
My uncle puts his eyes up again as if he's talking to someone else, and then he looks at me with the other set of eyes and says, "How much of a trade?"
Except as he says it, his expression starts to change and I realize by and by that my uncle--who in the dream is still dead and actually had been talking to me through the brick fireplace--has been taken away and replaced with something that only looks like what he had just looked like. The face hasn't changed much but I can sense that this is some malevolent thing that's trying to look like him. Or rather to look like what his four-eyed, dead self looked like, at any rate.
"Any trade!" I tell him. "Me, I'll go instead, let me get struck by lightning."
"You're not worth the trade," he says. "Someone else."
I point to Barrack Obama then, who is holding forth in the living room about ending the war. "That guy," I tell the devil type thing, "he's going to change the world. He can end the war, save thousands of lives. Change the environment. He's going to do a world of good but you can have him instead if you'll give me SB back. You can put McCain in office, how about that?"
"How selfish of you," he says.
"Well that's too bad," I tell him.
"That's still not enough," the devil type thing says. "But I'll take your goddaughter, or your godson instead. Would that be fair?"
I scream at him, "No! You can't have them, I'll find a way to destroy the whole world if you do!"
Then he just starts to laugh and as he does I realize, "Oh my god, this is way too awful to be real, because in reality I could never even make such a choice. Therefore this can only be a really bad nightmare."
And with that, I woke myself up.
Anyway, these are my dearest of dears, my babyloves and my "little" darlings. Don't they look horrified? ^_^ You can't tell them how beautiful and lovely and wonderful they are because they get all, "TCH!" if you do. Except I told Jo-chan a few months ago that I was proud of her because of the fact that she didn't fit in, and it wasn't because she made an effort to not fit in in order to seem different, but rather that she is different and nothing she does is put on or posed. She was stunned and said, "Thank you, that's the best compliment like ever," and then we played video games.
That is my other little darling as you all know. But after that crazy effed up nightmare I wanted to put pictures of them to erase the ickiness.
The boy's gone. The boy's gone home.
What will happen to a face in the crowd when it finally gets too crowded?
And what will happen to the origins of sound after all the sounds have sounded?
Well I hope I never have to see that day,
But by God I know it's headed our way.
So I better be happy now that the boy's going home.
The boy's gone home.
And what becomes of a day for those who rage against it?
And who will sum op the phrase for all left standing around in it?
Well I suppose we'll all make our judgement call.
We'll walk it alone, stand up tall, then march to the fall.
So we better be happy now that we'll all go home.
Be so happy with the way you are.
Be so happy that you made it this far.
Go on be happy now.
Please be happy now.
Because this is something else.
This is something else.
I tried to live my life and live it so well.
But when it's all over, is it heaven or is it hell?
I better be happy now that no one can tell, nobody knows.
I'm gonna be happy with the way that I am.
I'm gonna be happy with all that I stand for.
I'm gonna be happy now, because the boy's going home.
The boy's gone home.
Jules, that would have completely set me on edge. Scary dream.
I have been on edge all day. It's funny how a dream can do that to you.
Ah well, better dreams tonight, for sure! ^_^
I'll be out planting for a bit. Later guys. :D
Your dream just scared the shit out of me. OMG.
Later dudes and dudesses.
Hi everyone!
TJ, good luck today! Let us know how it goes. :)
I was just catching up on all the pages I missed...and there is so much I want to comment on.
Princess, I loved the picture of your front yard. Oh it made me just want to sit outside and enjoy all of its loveliness.
Anon, who wrote all the things they love about some of the people here. Thank you for including me. That brought a much needed smile to my face. See >>>> :)
Elena, so your daughter had moving day? What an amazing time for her. I know you are sad, but always remember, you raised her right...she's gonna make you proud. And I loved her second grade writing. Thanks for sharing!
Ummm, what else? Oh there is lots more!
In a nutshell, all of you rule. It's true!
Mayo, what's new my friend? Any good stories to tell us?
SS, missing you, just saying.
Hi Kapunua (how do you remember all those details?!!) I had a crazy dream last night too. I could try to explain, but it would make no sense at all!
Hiya Mustard, Amyranth, lurkers, anons!
Hi Mayo
Hi SS
Hi everybody
P.S. Elena, that was funny talking to your hubby the other night. I almost forgot that I talked to him!! Too many drinks, I must admit. @_@
...
So what should I have for lunch today? I'm craving those breadsticks from Pizza Hut Slut. Wonders where the closest one is? Hmmm.
Why did I use both 'hut' and 'slut'...? I meant to use just one. I'm so not on the ball today.
Hi Anon. :)
Anima,
I ♥ you. ^_^
That Anon said I had sass and that made me smile, too. They don't know just how sassy I can be.
Okay, gotta go to lunch. I'm thinking Scumway.
*wonders what Food Anon is eating for lunch*
Toodles peeps!
Anima he probably doesn't remember talking to you either for the same reason!
Man, are we having terrible storms. Rain, and lots of wind.

Great song anonymous.
I ♥ you too Princess!
Elena, he probably doesn't remember, because I'm not real!! Hehe.
Looks like we have another round of them coming in this evening. I guess we will be getting what you have right now. Speaking of which, my hubby needs to get the lawn cut...I should probably remind him. ^_^
Anon, that song just brought back a lot of memories. :)

It is.
Here comes the rain
Once I was searchin'
For somethin' to change my ways
Clouds they came rollin'
And from the thunder I heard them say
The rain wizard will wash our hands
Bring magic to our lands
The rain wizard will do it again
Bring magic to our land
Hair strung like silver
And the moons they lit his robe
His boots they are leading
To a path that no one knows
The rain wizard will wash our hands
Bring magic to our lands
The rain wizard will do it again
Bring magic to our land
Here comes the Rain Wizard

Good question. I really don't know.
Typo fairy attacked me mustard!
Now I have the Eurymics song in my head:
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Oooooh
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(here it comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
...
Anon, not sure what happened the those guys. They were something else weren't they.
...
Okay, it's almost time for lunch. Yay!
See you all soon.
Yesterday I was weeding all day and combating insects. We are infested with those fuzzy catterpillar bugs. I had one land on my shoulder. I screamed like a little girl, it was funny.
Bees have made homes in my shed and my house. We had to spray and run. Funny as all hell to see me & the hubby run so fast in the house away from hornets.
Oh hi Mel! Nice to see you.
Sorry I gotta run, my tummy is so hungry.
Truth anon? Where is the truth? I am missing something.
Did I kill the blog? Have a good lunch Anon.
Ok, Pizza slut was funny. I think I will call it that from now on.
Hey Mel
Good to see you. How the weather in your neck of the woods?
Elena said...
Hey Mel
Good to see you. How the weather in your neck of the woods?
June 2, 2008 2:29 PM
Hi Elena. It is beautiful today. I have to go water the plants. I ran out of Miracle grow yesterday. I have to buy more. That stuff works great.
Hope you are having nice weather too.
I was reading an article on MSN and it was telling about unusual spots to get married in. One couple got married in a Graveyard! It was on Halloween, they took pictures next to the headstones. How cool is that?! Weird, but cool.
Aha, another couple ogt married in a bookstore Barnes & Noble where they met. The store didn't close, but would not ring up any transaction until the ceramony was over. That was so nice.
Hey, Barnes & Noble...naw..couln't have been. ^_^
Ok, goodbye everyone. Have a good day. Enjoy the weather. I hope it's nice where you are. Gotta go water the plants and the veggie garden. I will try to catch up with you all later if I can.
Sunshiny hellos from East TN! I'm in for a "quickie" (Elena, I saw you finally "gave in" last night!) before I'm off to do some chores.
Wow, gone for two days and look at all the fun I missed!
I never did say anything about your post, Mayo. So, let me say that it's very thought-provoking. In fact, I've spent what I think is ENOUGH time on it to drive a sane person to lunacy. I like the poem. My interpretation? It's for your momma. Especially with the closing lines:
"...and each moment a step
closer to letting go."
Our parents age, we age, and it's unsettling to see the parallel. My own mother won't be around much longer; I can just feel it in my soul, you know? So even if the relationship isn't all that good, I'm trying so hard to appreciate her and deal with her bizarre behavior.
Ok, next.
SS, darlin', I said it before and I'll repeat (for emphasis): I'm still working with that one piece of info, but I'm not quite sure if there's something to guess at, or just something lovely to appreciate. You're too smart for me! (ALMOST. ;D)
And next again.
TJ, your workday's almost over, and I'm hoping it went well. Office lady sounds much better than customer service rep, and I've been to THAT world! :P Tell us how it went, all right?
Hello to everyone that I usually talk to, everyone I don't, everyone who's "snuck" back on (*coughLewisandKDcough*), nice anons (I'm loving the Anonything2 name!), and various other kind folk who I didn't name.
Anima, hope you're doing ok. *hugs and kisses* Sending you peaceful thoughts and warm sunshine. Oh, and a beautiful butterfly to sit on your shoulder.
Last, but oh most certainly not least.
A Cure tribute band. Oh my cow, Frank, wherever you are, bless your wonderful heart. I can't wait to see the videos off YouTube, even though they'll be fuck-all quality. But, I have to add this encouraging bit of advice:
TOUR THAT MOTHERFUCKER, WILL YOU PLEASE.
I back up Smoke's statement, I'm gonna have to move to Jersey to see good live music. UNLESS THOSE JERSEY BANDS BRING THE MUSIC TO TN.
Just sayin'. (Ok, was my hint too subtle? ;D)
One of us will be back later, or maybe both of us. We're both really tired today, so we're taking it easy for a while. See some or all of you later!
Jappy Monday! It's almost over, hang in there!
love,
J
PS. I just don't understand why people don't leave the Love Anons alone. We get lots of different posters in here, and we ourselves talk about all kinds of things. Why not some extra love? Ain't like we don't need it, what with all the uglies that come to torture us daily. Love Anons, keep on! Its all about the love; all you need is love; no love is wrong.
hi guys!
hi OPJ, mel, elena , anima and anons etc!!
anyone around?
K btw shocking dream!
I read the "truth" and I agree with Amyranth's description of Kapu. Pig describes it all to a T.
And blind describes everyone who can't see it. Thank you for stating it like it is
well anons (or are you just the one person??!!) i commented on wendy's blog as you saw. i like wendy and i am sad that she has left.
i also like K!!
there aren't just 2 sides here you know. there are people in the middle that want to be friends with everyone. i see good qualities in as many people as i can. that is how i try and function. i am so not perfect but i do try!
kindly stop bringing shit up!
anon 3:23
Not everyone here is blind. Some of us sees the truth.
I'm not the one who brought it up!! I followed the link and I AGREE with Amyranth, she is a pig. Just my opinion, so sue me.
BC I obviously didn't mean you
I am also disappointed that Mayo keeps pandaring to her but that's out of my hands
no one is blind guys but it a case of finding a happy medium. that is how people actually accomplish long term friendships/relationships of any kind.
if you are only interested in stirring shit up perhaps you should go and find a new hobby.
I am not stirring up shit. It's funny how it's fine for SOME people to say what they want but not others. There is no sense in trying to keep it off THIS blog. That was the entire point.
*yawns*
WTF? Anyhoo....
Hi FASC!
Hi everyone. Drama as usual I see. People need to leave Kapunua alone but I guess that is never going to happen.
I'm about to write a new post and I wanted to ask a few of you if it was OK to quote you on some of the stuff you said about LynZ and her interviews, where she's acting all shocked about being associated with Gerard. Would that be OK?
Hi there, Verita! Haven't seen you in like forever. :)
why go on and on about it though anon?
in that way it is just bringing up the same shit.
everyone can say what they want. free speech is what its all about. but it would be nice if people (all people) had a little bit more respect for other peoples feelings. we are all just humans after all but just a little thought would maybe help.
i am not preaching...like i said i am miles away from being anywhere near perfect. but i have gone through life trying to be friends with everyone. even if i was better friends with some i have always tried to get along with everyone. thats just the way i am and maybe why i find this a little difficult.
hi there princess!!
hi VV!
yep i'm fine with that.
they were pretty obvious thoughts really.

Thank you anon. That is very nice of you to say so.
Amyranth and FASC, I'm glad the story of my friends eyebrows made you laugh.
It's a true story. Luckily for her , she has no shame so wasn't embarrased for a second.
K, dreams like that will leave you shaken all day. Have you done the thing where you think it could be a premonition and had to physically stop yourself from ringing round relatives to see if they are ok?
Hiya Mayo, Hiya ss.
Hiya everyone, how are you all today?
Hi Smoke&Venom20, it's nice to see you are still posting. I lurk sometimes but I don't really post that much. Kapunua is my friend and it bothers me to see her get treated like that, first by anonymous people then by signed in people, either way it's just drama. But you always seemed pretty cool.
Hi BC, I miss you sweetie. Hi Faraway, I hope you're doing good.
I basically come in when my inbox gets crowded enough and people have something new for me to post about. :-)
Do Lyn-Z's ill thought out comments in a couple of interviews really require a lengthy commentary? To what purpose? Personally I find it trivial and a tad obsessive.
I'll admit though that a few snarky comments about the girl are called for and totally deserved.
Hi miss T!!
thank you so much for reposting that anon's comment!!
i heard princess mention it earlier and in my very quick catch up didn't see it!!
thank you anon whoever you are i will continue to be silly OK?!!
BC?
You still here? I got a question. What do you see? Just curious.
Hi MissT! Hi Anon!
I know you weren't anon 3:33 but I wanted to put in an opinion because I read those comments earlier on as well, but like Faraway said, everyone is entitled to have their own opinion.
The only thing I want for this blog to have is for everyone to find some common ground and treat everyone with at least a decency of respect. People who don't treat others with respect really piss me off, and that also implies with the no name calling, no posting as an "anon" to talk shit about others.
If you find someone having to post as an "anon" to spread hatred and BS because you don't like someone, or whatever other reason, you are nothing more but a lame ass loser to me.
Hiya FASC, no probs sweetie.
How are you today?
Personally I find it trivial and a tad obsessive.
point taken anon but i sort of am trivial and a tad obsessive!!
point taken still though.
Hiya princess.
Woah, major tiara dazzle today. *rubs eyes better*
Oh, I am sparkling today, MissT!
hi BC!
The only thing I want for this blog to have is for everyone to find some common ground and treat everyone with at least a decency of respect.
absolutely BC!!
lovely seeing you around again.
hope you are Ok?
miss T i am fine thank you! managed to watch my double lost and the remaining 3/4 of the england game last night. great result ey!!
i was watching the end in bed with a cuppa tea! fucking knackered!
Razzle dazzle, smoke.
Hi Verita, Smokie, Miss T, Faraway. Sorry for not saying hi earlier.
Smokie, what do I see? I never said this earlier, but sometimes when I'm here I see people not getting treated with respect, but I don't know. If people have issues with others they should try to talk to them about it because ignoring them doesn't change anything, but if that doesn't work out, then I don't know what will.
but other than that, that's all I have left to say.
Sadly, I don't have time to discuss this any further, I gotta leave for now.
Take care everyone.
And yeah, in case you're wondering, I value honesty more than anything.
I know what you mean FASC. What a time to play a match.
I did enjoy hearing our national anthem played on steel drums though.
Oh dear, hi and bye BC sweetie.
I hope you come back to join us later.
Bye for now.
Hi Far. I'm okay, getting ready to leave. I hope you're well.
Later.
Ohhh cool! They are playing hits from the '80's on the radio.
Tears for Fears! DAMNNN! I haven't heard them in like an eternity!
Whoop! Whoop!
see ya BC!
princess i find it incredibly weird that you have even heard of tears for fears??!!
they are so ridiculously english i cannot almost comprehend them being listened to by american ears??
its when martha knows more english music in the '80's than i ever did i am like WTF!! we are but a teany tiny country!!
edit
teeny surely??
Oh gosh, FASC, my mother looooooved Tears for Fears! There was another band, too, that she loved and I can't think of their name right now.
The ones that sang about "I just died in your arms tonight". Gah! I hate when I can't remember something. >_<
cutting crew princess??
good lord this is all down to my best mates big sis!!
Hey guys! Hey Verita, yeah of course you can quote me, I don't care. I love the "sound" of my own "voice." ^_~
I just went to pick up a beautiful baby robin. He's so teeny and young, just a nestling maybe about five days old. Oh man, he is so precious. Robins are among my favorites, they are so much fun to raise. He's a little dehydrated and bruised from the fall, but not too bad. ^_^
Yes! That's it! For some reason I knew it sounded like Counting Crows.
Gah! Thank you! That would have drove me batty. :)
Hi Jules!
Hiya K sweetie. How are you?
Hello lovelies!
OK, I put up a new post, I hope it makes sense because it is patched together. Thank you again Kapunua. To borrow your phrase, "You are a star"! :-)
I hope it's not too hard to follow, it's a little patchy.
Hey there, Bella!
Alright, I get to leave in fifteen minutes. YAYNESS! I don't have to stay until 8pm. Whoop! Whoop!
See you guys later!
Hey Bella, Princess, FASC, MissT! I'm good! Baby birds, Kung Fu tonight, beautiful weather, yummy dinner cooking. It's all good. :)
Now Counting Crows in on the radio.
O_O
Byeeee! ^_^
*feeling the goodness from K* Sounds lovely.

Hi Wendy!
Thank you for your visit! I appreciate the heads up! I really, really miss you on the night crew (and BC, too!) I always had that wonderful sense of camaraderie with you guys :) We did have such fun, much silliness, too :)
I hope you do decide to come back - at least on the night shift! There its (or at least WAS) possible to ignore many of the problems, of which I had a sense before ever I joined. "
NIGHT SHIFT FOR THE WIN
See people are starting to open their eyes that the "porchies" are the real problem here.
Same MissT.
Hey,did you hear from that guy you have met few weeks ago,if you don't mind me asking?
Yeah Bella. His mum was rushed to haspital last Thursday with a stroke.
We are still planning to meet up soon though.

Your kindness is a balm to others, I hope you know! And I hope to see you back... You can always email me if you want to join us some night, so I'll know ;)

Oh my God!How is she now?
Not heard Bella, so maybe it isn't good.
Anon, I am a porchie too and I don't want to cause anyone any trouble. I don't understand how the term porchie is a bad thing. It is a name that the blog owner likes to call the people who hang out there.
It's not a unique club, the blog is open to everyone.
I don't understand how porchie is any worse than lovelie.
It is not the word. It is the people.
Helpful hint, when anonymously quoting something you said, try to remember to not put the "delete" button on there "anon" LOL!
Well, I am one of the people that visit the porch anon, so what trouble am I causing?
Not you though.
You I just feel sorry for because you can't see what they are like
Well, thank you anon.
The way I live here in blogland though, is that I will always be nice to people who are nice to me.
Hope she's okay,MissT.
Yeah anon,MissT is right.
And I would say those anons who try to start shit every time they can are the real problem here.
Maybe you shouldn't be "nice" to people who ignore others. That counts as not being "nice" to the ones who GET ignored.
Helpful hint, when anonymously quoting something you said, try to remember to not put the "delete" button on there "anon" LOL!
Hello All,
How is everyone today?
MissT, how is your guy's mom doing?
The thing is "Anon", its all a matter of taste and preference.
I happen to prefer the day crew and that's only because they have a wider range of conversations that are of interest to me.
When it comes to catching up I invariably scroll past the night shift and that's no disrespect to them its just that they don't interest me.
Live and let live.
A totally impartial Anon.
As long as they don't get affected personally it's all right with them.
Well, I myself would not ignore anyone here.
But if we all got involved in everyone's arguments, this place would all fall apart in two minutes.
I know that I am friends with people that others here don't like, but I won't fall out with people just cos others don't like them.
I guess I just try to get on with everyone. I know that must annoy people too.
It's just the way I am.
Hi sdock!
I'm fine thanks,and you?
Random nonsense interests you?
Thanks Bella, I hope so too.
Hiya Solly sweetie, how are you?
I haven't heard anything else so I hope it's not bad news.
Yeah FAKE is what you are
The porchies talk random asskisisng nonsense. I scroll past the porchies most of the time.
Hi Bella, MissT, Anon(s),
I'm tired from work. Just sitting here trying to soak up some a/c before I go outside to let my doggies out to play.
MissT, I hope it's not bad news either.
good morning all
hows' your Monday been?
Tuesday is looking quite nice as far as I can see, which isn't far as there is a pretty thick fog
Thanks Solly.
Hiya Ergo sweetie, how are you?
Good morning to you ergo!
Right ladies,I'm off to bed.
Take care.
Goodnight Mayo,SS and Family.
Love you all.
*HUGS & KISSES*
Hi Ergo,
How are ya?
Are you saying that Tuesday is going to be foggy and we won't have much clarity or vision?
Nice, I will be right at home then.
missT I hope it was minor and she is ok
G'nite Bella!
Sweet Dreams!
Hi everyone! *waves*
I agree with MissT. The porch is open to all, it's not an exclusive club.
You say the 'porchies' are the problem. Just an observation, but most of the nasty comments made on this blog are made by people posting anonymously.
Hey Ergo & Solly!
Hey, MissT, Bella, Sdock, Ergo anyone else loitering. :)
Whoops! Night, Bella!
Hey, Lucy!
Night Night Bella!
Hi Splash! How goes it?
I finally got my pics uploaded. YAY!
Hi Lucy! Hi Mustard!
How are ya'll?
Mustard, Guess what I got today! New music. Someone made me a Bottle Rockets CD and cool mixed cd with some Elvis Costello, Kinks, Replacements, Hoodoo Gurus, Green on Red, Talking Heads, Breeders, Beastie Boys...and lots more.
I can't wait to listen to it! I get excited about the simplest of things.
I'm good thanks missT just getting motivated to start the day.
sdock hopefully clarity will begin in the next hour or so, everything at the moment is in soft focus
and Bo Diddley died? Loss of another major talent, what a shame
Thanks Ergo, me too.
Goodnight Bella, sweet dreams.
Hiya Mustard, how are you?
Hiya LL, how are you?
Three/Three
sdock! yay for the hoodoo gurus!!! which song?
hi lucy mustard
bye bella sweet dreams
I'm off to feed the doggies. Hopefully, I won't melt.
Muahahah!
Fun, Sdock!
Today sucked all the way around and back again. Just saying.
Oooh Ergo, let's see....
It is..."Out That Door"
Is that a good one?
I'm ok MissT. I just made the biggest pan of chilli tonight, I know what I'll be having for tea tomorrow!
I've been looking at the perfume site K recommended. So many fragrances to choose from. I have a shortlist of about 10! LOL
Mustard,
You're right. It did suck and it will probably continue to suck, but I've been too busy saying "fuck it" today and letting people see the crazy, disturbed look in my eye to notice.
LL, you are gonna be eating chilli till the end of the week.
You'll need some perfume after that.
it's good sdock , but personally I think they have better, they are a fave of mine, I saw them a few times really fun band
You'll need some perfume after that.
Bahaha! ;)
When you say three/three what are you referring to?
I noticed the two earlier in the post.
Does it relate to the three 'heres'?
The night shift is better in my opinion because they aren't as cliquish as the day crew.
LOLLERS MissT!
They don't call me Bean for nothing you know!

What does that even mean?
Seriously, how the fuck am I supposed to ignore someone when I'm not even here? Damn. I go to sleep and other people come on here. Not a damn thing I can do about it.
NIGHT CREW FOR THE WIN
Umm, do you even know how silly that sounds?
Well anyhoo...
Hi everybody! ^_^
So do you plan on just insulting us until the night crew arrive?
Hi Smoke!
LOL Bean, now I know.
Hi again smoke.
I'm about to make a smoothie, so who's jealous now?
Mustard? I know you are.
Anyone else?
Don't worry I will let you lick the pitcher when I am done pouring.
Smoke said "fuck"!
She must really be irritated.
That almost never happens.
You're damn right I'm irritated. I'm sick of petty ass bullshit that doesn't amount to a hill of beans.
Porchies. The night crew. The day crew.
WTF?
WTMF?
It's just stupid.
Now make me a meffin' smoothie.
Hi, Miss T, Solly, Smoke, Lucy, Mustard, Ergo.
How is everybody?
Hi Star! How's you?
Hiya Star, how are you sweetie?
Hi Star & Smok! *waves*
Hey Lucy!
Solly,
Screw you and your smoothie. I'm going to get a piece of blueberry pie.
YUM! YUM! YAYNESS!
The porchies, night crew, graveyard shift, day crew.
Whatever. Does it really matter?
I like hanging when I can hang. Sometimes it's during the day. Sometimes it's at night.
Anonymous, if you like the "night crew" so much, why don't you just hang with them and leave the others alone?
I'm heading out right now, but I'll be on later. That's for anyone who would like to chat.
Ooh pie! I love bramley apple pie with a rich, buttery pastry served warm with a scoop of devon clotted cream & vanilla ice cream *drools*
Well MOTHERFUCKER!
I just burnt up the goddamned blender trying to make a smoothie!
ARRRRRRRRGHH!
Now, my house smells like burnt rubber or hot wires or something.
I'm just groovy.
Hi Jennicula! Good to see you!
Hi smoke Hi star
I'm off for my morning town run, I'll be back in a few!
Oh Noes! My house smelt like that yesterday when one of my kitties singed her tail on the fire. Yes, I had my fire on June. It's England.
Yikes, Solly! That's scary.
Bean, that sounds yummy. I am jealous of you English people and your dairy products!
I just burnt up the goddamned blender trying to make a smoothie!
I guess now would be a bad time to ask for a smoothie, huh?
Hey, Jen! Hello, Star!
It's not scary! It's fucking tragic. Now, I have a pitcher full of fruit and icecream and yogurts and ice and no way to make a smoothie.
GAHHHHHH! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!??????
OK Ergo! Just let me know when you're off to the gym cos I think I'm starting to get a bit of a tum. You've obviously been slacking at the gym and not doing my crunches!
Alls I wanted was a fucking smoothie....
*sigh*
This is what I get for trying to live healthy.
Solly,
Can you put it in a bowl and use a mixer?
I do not know much about this smoothie phenomenon.
Oh Star, it's the best! We also have the most delish (and expensive) baby new potatos that come from Jersey in the Channel Islands. They are new potatos so I guess they could be called New Jersey potatos. Heeee! I'm easily amsued! Ooh a butterfly!
Hi Jenn, Hi Star!
Go ahead you guys. Laugh. Laugh at me. It's funny as hell. I struggle so fucking hard, but at least it's entertainment.
I think I will put on my new CD now and drown my sorrows in music.
Star,
I kinda don't own a mixer, but yeah if I had one, it would work.
Now, how am I going to get this funky ass smell out of my house.
Yankee Candle doesn't make a scent to knock out this funk.
I think I'm gonna head off to beddy byes now. Night night everyone!
A mixer, like with the little beater things? The thing you use for cake and brownie batter?
Is that what you mean?
'Cause dude, that will not work. You'd have shit all over your kitchen if you used one of those!
Night, Lucy. Sleep well!
Goodnight Bean, sweet dreams.
Lucy,
Don't get me started on the magnificence of potatoes.
I am sure they are amazing.
Solly, I mourn the loss of your blender!
G'nite, Lucy! Sweet Dreams!
Mustard,
Then it's a good thing I don't have one, huh?
I'm just gonna try mushing it up with a big spoon.
Yeah! I guess so!
How are you gonna get the ice all crushed up?
Well I will just have to put it in the freezer once I get it mushed up and let it get cold and almost frozen I guess.
Fuck, I don't know. This is a brand new trail I am blazing here.
Goodnight, Lucy!
I need coffee!
I will return!
I wish you well on your journey!
Solly,
Would you like a piece of blueberry pie?
*snickers*
Muwahaha.
*hands Solly flask and sarnies*
before I forget,
*hands her compass too*
Good luck.
Well that's just heartless and mean, Smoke.
It was funny though, right?
Eff yeah it was!
Oh and I had watermelon, too. Niiiice.
MissT,
Thank you, you really love me.
Almost forgot solly,
*wraps solly in blanket*
*puts torch in her hand*
You go out there and find that other way to make smoothies. I have faith in you.
Want me to bring you my mixer, Solly?
*snickers*
MissT,
Awwh, I can count on you to look after me.*
*and possibly snicker and shake your head behind my back
Shut the fuck up, Smoke!
Mayo,
Make her leave me the fuck alone. Do you see how she is? Impossible.
I'll look after you sweetie.
Can't promise that I won't do a little head shaking though.
*puts hands on hips and shakes head*
She could just have a milkshake you know.
