Terry ~ My favorite Tori songs are "Take to the sky", "Winter", "silent all these years", "crucify", "little earthquakes". There are so many more, but those I like the best. I haven't listened to tori much in a very long time though..

Well it looks like I have been reduced to commentaries for awhile, until I get used to my new lot in life.<BR>
<BR>
To Terry ~ I enjoyed your "Walkin in the Rain"... liked the way that it flowed.<BR>
<BR>
To Kevin Urenda ~ "Foreign Entanglements" Creative and Witty, and quite thought provoking.<BR>
<BR>
To Untamed Bird ~ "The April Fool"  How Timely ! ! I really dug the colors and the beat.<BR>

To Niki ~  "There I Stood", was great. Right up my alley.  I could see and feel the blackness of your despair. Your ocean description gave me a nightmarish feeling and chills.<BR>
Thanks.<BR>
<BR>
To StevR ~  "Shuffled", a wonderful metaphor. How true, How true... So many times in a card game, we regret that we didn't stay with the first hand, and in life, how many times do we regret having dumped what we thought was a bad deal, only to reshuffle our lives and wind up screwed with the new hand we are left with ....  BRAVO.... this was GRRrreat ! ! !<BR>
<BR>
To Rae Baby ~ "No Ones Angel" Loved the tempo of this piece, and also loved the expression of being sent the wrong kind of angel... WOW.... started my wheels turning about past evil angels in my life.... Sure had my share...<BR>
Thanks ! ! !<BR>

Well...I am back home in WV. WOW!!! Its fantastic (in most respects)  For anyone who remembers my situation (or me) David is fine, coming home to live with me for the summer, and we made it through three months of hell- still in love.  <BR>
<BR>
I come home RIDICULOUSLY excited to see my roomates, family, etc.  and here is my new problem...I have found out (hours after I cried with joy at our reunion) that my very best friend in the world has been sneaking around with my ex (who is also supposed to be my best friend) Fine- I've moved on obviously.  My problem is I called them POINT BLANK on it and neither told me the truth (nor have they still...I just have hard evidence)  I need LOTS of advice...or just people saying  "God they suck"  Thank the Lord for the Internet cause I can't talk to ANYONE about this here. *sigh*<BR>
<BR>
Sorry to post message concerning personal life (though romance related) in light of some of the postings I have noticed but taking this to email would be tedious.  Call me lazy...but take pity :(<BR>
<BR>
Pathetic I know...<BR>

BK, Slug, Eco, ali, Nightsoul, Michael-- thanks for all the lovely triolets!<BR>
<BR>
Nice to see the  board back on the poetry track:)  I will see if I can find another fun form. <BR>
<BR>
For those of you who want to try it still: <BR>
<BR>
A triolet is: <BR>
a poem or stanza of eight lines in which the first line is repeated as the fourth and seventh and the second line as the eighth with a rhyme scheme of ABaAabAB.<BR>
<BR>
To see how it works- just check out the excellent ones already submitted to the Blender.<BR>

Megs - My advice.... pfffttttt.....  so they've snuck about? They probably thought you'd been through enough hell to bother you with it..... you've moved on, so don't get hung up over  it.  Don't make it an issue, if they want to get together then let them.... if they want to be the others bonk buddy them don't get wound up over it, you've got bigger and better things in store for you.<BR>

Hon, I have been through the shit, the hell, the glory and the greatness with each and every relationship I've had. (loved it all-eventually) And if there's one thing I've learned, it's that no one is 'OURS' (not even our children). We share with them for a time. And when that time is over, someone else shares with them. Understanding that I didn't own anyone, that I laid no real and lasting claim to a person's heart, freed me to continue to love them, no matter what they ever 'did' to me, how our love ended, or who they were with after my time with them. And just as I wanted the freedom to be with whomever I chose, I had to grant that to my old loves as well. Feeling this way created a 'bigness' inside me that was so wonderfully refreshing!! And there was a surpising benefit...I became friends with some of the ladies that came into my lovers' lives. In granting freedom to the ones who came in and out of MY life, I freed myself!<BR>
<BR>
And Ali~ thank you!

It's unfortunate that a friend would do something to someone like that, but as I see it, humans are humans and will always be full of mistakes.  If you have confronted the both of them, and neither will admit it, then let it be.  What good is it to worry and fret over something?  It certainly will do you no good, so instead of being bitter and letting it get to you, be the wiser person, and love them back.  The best remedy for a betrayal by someone, is to love them back.<BR>
<BR>
My prayers are with you
