SYLVIA
How are you? I've missed you and I hope you are happy and well.
this week our kh devoted the whole service meeting to the upcoming international convention in atlanta.
they read a 5 page letter from the branch which stated basically that we should feel priviledged to be invited to this convention.. however, many are not using the "recomended lodging list", "many hotels still have plenty of rooms available", "we must be loyal to this arrangement", (or the organization will not get their comp rooms)..

How are you? I've missed you and I hope you are happy and well.
recent happenings close to home bewilder me by day, terrify me by night.
i am immersed in the profound waters of doubt and, sometimes, despair, as i struggle swimmingly to a far off shore that itself is encased in black mist.. yet, the shroud of fog does rise.
i am able to see outward, through the windows to my soul.
Rippy
you are right about Coco because he is an inspiration to us all
I've had so many different ideas about what might be going on here throughout my life and it remains a mystery. Im just using the time I have left as this person that I perceive is me to investigate, research and ponder the situation. The key is to be fearless and follow the evidence wherever it goes even if it's not what you would want to be the truth.

Life does seem as though everything is rushing past you as you observe and the person you were 50, 30, 10 years ago is gone constantly replaced and yet some faint feeling of continuity lingers.

She wondered how he gathered wits
was it like socks that someone knits
or maybe like a walk in space
or even like a sailboat race
i guess we'll never really know
until he drinks his cup of joe
hello my fellow "apostates".
just wanted to say hi.
i'm still in the borg but mentally out.
Hello

it's another day of wordplay
Good morning Coco, Rippy and the mysterious Mr. Shirley
Is the game a foot or are we laying off of those blue suede shoes?

Oh illustrious Grammar Gods of yore
Mistakes we've made please don't keep score
Confused we are with less and fewer
We feel like meat upon a skewer
The choices that we dare to make
we're anxious is it bring or take
And puncuation what a bore
We don't use it anymore
Release us from the grammar jail
With all it's tests for us to fail

suppose 10% of your nation were hardcore fanatics who can act as one - and they refuse to serve in the army or get jobs!.
and they are the fastest growing group with a high birthrate....... some of the protest photos of them filling the streets are impressive.. .
The genetics of it all is interesting
i did my dna on 23 andme and I am 50% irish, 25% ashkenazi jewish and the rest is sort of germanic. I'm matching chromosomes with some people in Israel so the question is. Who really is a jew?
heavy, heavy upon my failing heart weighs your aching.
need for my full and loving devotion.. oh, how i spend myself willingly on your behalf as,.
truly, your desires outstrip my own.. were i but a younger and wiry man, would i scale.

When i read this I think of many things that life brings to all of us. We don't come out of the womb full of wisdom and good sense so we often make stupid decisions whether they be with another human or an organization. We sometimes give our soul and all our energy and then it blows up in our face. It happens and that's okay but letting something paralyze you for the rest of your life is where the derailment occurs. Some of the best music,poetry and movies glamorize people who can't move on. It's funny isn't it. We humans have to learn to forgive ourselves for making mistakes and take charge of our lives but then what would happen to all those desperate songs like "I fall to pieces" or the titanic song. What about the great literature, what would we write about if we all came to our senses.
I like a line from Billy Joel's this is my life
They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody else
but sooner or later you sleep in your own space either way it's okay you wake up with yourself
What does it mean?

Guess what tomorrow is
It's National Grammar Day
Oh how we've waited all year
and now it's finally here
We need puncuation equilibrium
