&lt;Totally Confused&gt; <BR>

ligsil/jessica - What I said about Carol was that she hadn't written anything that struck a chord with me - and that wasn't an attack, that was a comment with a context. If you read on, you would also notice that I said I hope she returned and wrote however she damned well liked - just because I what she writes doesn't strike a chord with me, doesn't mean she is any less valued as a member of this Blender famile, or that I value her contribution less than someone who I really love reading. Get it right!

Hey, does one of your group want to plot out a graph of who's sisters with who, who's been out with who, who hates who and who wants to go out with who, but hasn't yet? I'm sure it would be really entertaining. Seriously. Submit it. I'd read it (but then I read anything).  : )

OK... I encouraged wiltedrose to stay. But truly, same thing goes for anyone. I didn't mean to exclude carol or demean her or anything. Frankly, she was never really in the discussion as far as my concerns went.

ligsil/jessica - Well????? <BR>

carol - If there's a problem between us please let me know so we can sort it out. The way I see it, it was a pretty stupid situation all round, and you - to your credit - were never involved. I have never struck a chord with your poetry - yet, but it happens that we all learn and gain with experience. Hope someday you write something that really lights me up. Thanks.

Hello all!  It's been a while since I've been around, but I hope you'll all read my new poem "You".<BR>
<BR>
Bloomingrose:  I've just read your poems and they are beautiful, sounds like you are writing to a friend, and that takes courage to plead with a friend to give up that crutch of dependency on an old love.  I'm sure whomever they are, they can do it beautifully.  The poetry spoke to my own heart as well, it is what I needed to hear today.  So, keep up the good work!<BR>
<BR>
Apajarita:  Your latest poem "Let me touch you" (or something like that) was beautiful.  I see you haven't written in a while, but I hope you'll have more soon.<BR>
<BR>
Ladyinwaiting:  As usual, your poetry is wonderful and I enjoy reading it.  Some of it touches down to my heart, and brings up memories of my past experiences.  Thank you for sharing.<BR>
<BR>
And as far as this whole wiltedrose/carol thing goes, we are all mature people (or we all SHOULD be).  If wiltedrose says they are not carol, then accept it...what good will it do to fight about it.  Even if they were the same person, so what?!?  Life will go on, I promise.

RainbowChaser~ alisha, my deceased husband (who also suffered with PTSD and later head injury) and my mother-in-law had bulimia. Few people knew this, and it was the source of some tremendous problems for them. Because I loved them, I wanted to understand what they dealt with in this eating disorder, or anything that plagued them. I did my best to let them know that it was what was inside their heads and hearts that meant far more to me than their exterior. Our bodies are constantly changing, and someone will love us for what's inside far more than any body we wish them to see. I know that I am far more attracted to a real smile than most anything when I first meet a person. I don't care if that smile is Hollywood perfect or snaggle-toothed because my heart recognizes the difference. My best to you in your quest. I do read you. I've just needed to find the words to comment to you ..... Rennie
