I have a question, has anyone ever written pages of poems and letters to you and all you could say is hmm...I honestly think I've missed something, because life/love just doesn't work the way I always thought it did. Honestly, pages and all I get is a hmm. What a waste of words. Not that I really knew what I was expected, I'd rather have nothing, than just a hmm. Grr...that makes me so irritated and I suppose that's why it was done. To blaken my heart even more...well, I'm not going to let it. What do you all think?<BR>

Elaina~ Maybe I read wrong... but if you gave a significant other pages of your love and all they said was "hm..." then they just aren't worth your time. A "special someone" should adore every page of your love... down to the last comma.<BR>

B.K.: I enjoyed reading Thingy? for some odd reason the line "her head in hand/on elbow stand" really appealed to me.<BR>

Blue Denim ~ Where do you live??? We live in Santa Maria. And yes, I do love it here. Took a little while for me to get used to - I grew up in heat & humidity, but I truly love it now. If I had to guess, you must be in SLO, AG, Pismo, Paso, Atascadero???

Was it a guy writing "hmmmm"? Hmmm, for guys at least, actually is used to cover a huge range of feeling, sometimes very complex and muddled feeling.  It's not all negative.<BR>

Rhet!! Of course! Jump in! Misti just got back with the Cheezit thingies. Very American! The merlot can be for all you red wine lovers. I have a stock pile of reisling (late harvest). The music is playing...got some Leonard Cohen in for this rainy day. He's so sublime! **scans the horizon for Gala**<BR>

I was thinking that the bomb shelter needs pillows and blankets and other cozy items.  That way, we can all sit around and have poetry readings while tipsy on Rhet's wine. :-) How about brie cheese? mmmmm...

I just got back from Harry Potter.  And, I am not embarrassed to say I REALLY liked it.  Not being the sort to read sci-fi or genres with wizards, I thought it was great fun.  A must see - it rejuvinates the child for a moment.<BR>
