Now that is what I'm talking aboot! :thumbs:

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

Good luck Cassie with the selling, my parents just put theres up they want to down size, well sorta like going from one with 4 floors too one with maybe a 1 plus the basement.

Well my son pulled at his tooth all day, he even used floss to try and saw it off from under the tooth itself. That dang tooth did not want to come out. I pulled at it got my nail under the edge of the tooth and tried to pull it out but no luck. So after telling him repeatedly to go ask his brother cause he could get it he finaly got the nerve and asked him.

Well my oldest is pretty good at ripping teeth out of him mouth and his sisters, so he has plenty of pratice. Withing 5 mins if that the tooth is out. Blood is every where that dang tooth is huge I dont know what the dentist saw in those x-rays but man that tooth still had roots well that what it looks like to me anyways.

So now the rest of his teeth can move back into place that god most are still baby teeth.

PS.. can you tell i'm bored heheh

Good Morning,

Sorry to hear about the fuel consumption.

Oops, and needed to be done.

You could get some rollerblades, or a bicycle...

just a thought.

Hee, hee.

Well, that avatar is terrific Len.

Why do you need Flames to love it?!

:unsure:

I haven't read too much as I am in Vancouver and totally immersed in the realm of refilling my starved soul.

Ha!

Ah yes, it is part of the journey that will take me back to a land of much noisy energy, and I need to learn to keep spreading the love and not take on anything negative.

I have a question, and I will put it in its own thread.

Please respond...if you feel like it.

Love & Light to All of You!

:star:

Reading the part about refilling your starved soul makes me miss the mountains.

When ever I needed a break from life- taking off for a few days to Jasper was always a sanity saver for me. I don't have a place like that here for me- nor am I in a position anymore that I have that luxury of just hopping in the car and taking off for a few days. Sigh.

I have been so frustrated with life lately. I am seriously lacking something inside myself and I'm not sure what it is.

Hmmmm, oh MissStacey, I hear you completely.

Although there is some cool stuff to see and do in our "new" lives in our "new" cities, it is something that unless your heart aches for it, one cannot explain it to another.

Hiking a mountain for example.

Or needing to jump in the Pacific naked, and feel the sun and water on all parts of one's skin.

Hee, hee.

Or the conversation and the quiet time between close friends that is the comfort zone, the sanity, the oasis in the chaos that is this Western world.

Yes, we all created it and keep feeding it.

Well, I for one really need to stay present.

I really need to not buy into what the general populace is trying to cram down my throat.

They can eat it and I will abstain.

Consumerism, entertainment, etc etc etc...

I do not care for any of it.

Not stuff, not shows...I do not need to be entertained.

My mind entertains me to no end.

All I want is harmony, joy, love and passion.

That fire in the belly that tells you you are where you need to be.

Joy.

Simple.

And challenging.

You know what I mean, jelly bean(s)?

I love life and I am life.

Time to remember that and never fall into victim mode or any other disabling mentality.

Expletives here!

Go after what you need in life like you have but a moment left to live.

Question: "What would you do if you knew you could not fail?"

(No need to answer to me nor anyone else. This is for you alone.)

:star: :star: :star:

How is that cocktail??

Hee, hee.

I want/need to write and write and write...my journal is almost done.

Time to buy a new one.

Exactly :thumbs: It's a scam.

When he wrote me back he gave me the address - which I googled - turns out it is a legit rental - but at $1495.00 not $900

I reported the craigslist posting to them...they have already taken it down.
