Liz~ That is so weird... what a small world. My whole family lives over there. If I make it back sometime, I'll drop you a line. :-) I really think that it's the most beautiful place in the world. Talk about expensive real estate though... Yikes.
the reference was to this odd item you posted about giving a friend Celexa, stating it nearly killed him...

Chris,
tried sending you an email from Yahoo. Hope this works. I'm at work. Arthur showed me how to access the Internet. Oh my god...Arthur tells me the Celexa I gave him almost killed him!!! He got deathly ill at his ex's on Saturday and she thought he was playing for sympathy. He was passing out and crawling around on the floor. So he and Michael were not able to do any editing on the Barbie scene. That's how sick he was. I feel horrible. I'm so stupid.
Thank you for the blueberry donuts and the lunch money. I don't know if Arthur will want to eat lunch with me after this. I am evil. See you in the morning.
hugs and kisses,
yer wife
• Symptoms of a Celexa overdose include nausea, vomiting, tremor, drowsiness, dizziness, sweating, and a fast heartbeat.
Here dude, try one of my prescription drugs. It's not a crime or irresponsible to give someone these meds, is it? I mean, c'mon - let's party! What? Deathly ill? Passing out? Crawling around? Oops, I better pretend I didn't post that on the internet for all to see...
One of my faves... Killing Arthur
I've heard of suffering for your art, but must you make others suffer as well?
Poem For "Misti"
ahh so you step over the line as nothing but a worm who uses the electronic media to bully and bash. Hiding behind this white screen to not impress but only destroy once again and the horrible thing is you know it. When you look in a mirror outwardly you stay so satisfied yet within you feel how rotten your world truly is and there is nothing you can do to ever change it (this is where I laugh… looking at you and…seeing just what you are) sweet lolly
Gaggin, please take personal vendettas to the politics board. Please don't understand that you don't know the difference.
we've read your writings for years Misty and we know and love you for this.
Echolation-Silly me...thanks for the spell check!!:)
"Please don't understand that you don't know the difference"
Sorry, that should have been "please don't pretend that you don't understand the difference". I mean, maybe you don't understand the difference between personal attacks and arguing issues, in which case you should consider not posting anything negative at all.
Hi Galadrial, I read simply Sipping at 6 a.m. in the morning. It got me with the first line. I always like to start the morning with a sup of love.
Regarding Mark and his fascination with my Board postings...he submits a recent Board posting that doesn't even mention my former friend Arthur (he's not dead, by the way)but puts Arthur's name in the title. His idiocy speaks for itself. I know it wasn't smart to give A Celexa (that's one stupid pill, not a bottle for gawd's fuckin' sake)to someone. Nope, I'm not a doctor. Arthur was depressed and one Celexa was my solution. Anyway. I doubt Mark's concern for someone he's never met, especially considering the fact that Arthur was a friend of mine. He's just trying to bring me down. Well, I'm not running for office and I have nothing to prove to anyone, most of all some jerk who comes to a poetry site to promote George Bush and the Christian way of life. It would take more than a prescription to straighten his shit out.
Kirk,
Not to kiss ass, but I love the Tom Robbins's excerpt. I had the pleasure of meeting Robbins at a book reading/signing last year. He's one of my favorites.
Thanks Ali.
Took a long time to convince myself to even start writing again. Glad to hear it was accepted!
