It's been a beautiful day today - my almond and peach are blooming - I decided to walk across the old railroad bridge that's been converted into a walking and cycling bridge.
There were a lot of people who had the same idea -…
And another - Suicide's Auditions

Another one that has always stuck with me -
This one is from Mean Mr. Mustard. Chuck, I hope you get to move all your posts over.
(I had to delete many of the comments to get it under the 100,000 character limit. It's a stroll down memory lane seeing all the names of former members.)

My New Toy

I'm trying to be more active these days. I bought a new bike recently and can do 20 miles now. I got a kayak - the water has finally warmed up - now I have to figure out where to try it out (don't want to drown while I'm learning).
And, yesterday I bought another toy -
It's a 1984 19' West Wight…

MarkinKentuckiana commented on Token's blog post Sparklies Fireworks and Flame!"Reason? Her paranoia and distrust.
As for legality, if the news accounts are to be trusted (yeah, I know), the server was set up before it became absolutely verboten to do so - at the the time it was just very strongly discouraged."

Thanks for your kind words about my banner - it was my idea but the boyfriend drew it and helped me immensely in getting it online.

I shut out the lights before I left.

Kenneth Sibbett said… Sometimes I feel like an old soul. I really do feel we live on in some way, but not in any religious way, but a spiritual way. I think you have one too. I have most of my stuff on Readers. I was also on OurSalon before, but got a little mad and quit OS and this place at the same time. My wife stopped me. I have another story being published in Scene4 Magazine in October that I am really buzzed about. I'll be sure to send you the link. Thanks again for you kind words.
