Remains

It had once been whole

Maybe not perfect but whole

In 1964, it had dings dents and chips that went deep.

Cracking that covered everything

As if it were layered with the finest of spiders web

It was just accepted at face value

Presented as if there were no imperfections

1982, when I was 18 the cracking went too deep, it shattered

Pieces lay around me scattered

Edges sharp, jagged, revealing the lie

Cut again and again and again

I still walk among the shards

Edges glint with memories that slice

Now just debris

I walk among the shards

Surrounded by the remains of my shattered family

Forged

We walk among the embers

Sure of the pain.

The fire flares from time to time

Scorching us, we are blackened.

Through it all,

These embers have cured us,

Tempered us.

We are not brittle.

We do not break.

Grrrrr... they turned off my cable

by Elsewhere in

friends

i have had a cable modem for at least three years now and as a side effect i had basic cable the whole time... today i get home to find that some f. what really pisses me off is that earlier this year comcast sent me a letter saying that because i did not subscribe to any cable service, they were going to add a $10 a month surcharge to my cable modem service... their way of forcing me to pay for basic cable.

now all of the sudden they want to force me to actually subscribe to the cable service, plus all kinds of "extra" charges that cannot be avoided.

this really pisses me off.

Amy Elizabeth was born on August 6 at 3:21 pm weighing in at 7 lbs and 12 oz in Niagara Falls, Ontario (I knew she was gonna be a canucker ) She was a quick and fast delivery (5 and a half hours)

Amy had low blood sugar at birth so her blood was tested every few hours and Saturday after one of the nurses came in to check her blood, we noticed that her right arm had a twitch in it. She was put in the NICU for monitoring and it became clear that these twitches were actually seizures. She was transferred to the NICU at McMaster University hospital in Hamilton, Ontario on Sunday at 1:30 am.(only the best care for our baby girl, seeing as it's the top facility next to Sick Kids in Toronto)

Right now Momma, Daddy and Baby are doing fine....if anyone want more info just PM me

NO! I am not sleeping w/ your JW husband!

yikes.

i just got a phone call from a woman whose husband i work with.

she found my number in his address book and was calling me to find out why.

SheilaM

I've been married 20 years and Thunder doesn't hug women he works for ...hell he has a hard time hugging anyone even if I am there. Men that can be trusted do not act like that.

Elsewhere has it dead on .....any man that talks or acts like that is wanting more.
