Im not hidding hole truth just because I want to stay in another A , or because Im a coubard...I want to keep my family and M alive, and I want to make happy to my H, and step by step I have learned how can I fiil my H EN's..


regreted,

I completely understand this and I can appreciate how you would believe that lying, or withholding the truth, will help your marriage. But I am here to tell you that lies will destroy your marriage quicker than anything. It has destroyed mine. The truth hurts. The only thing worse than the pain of truth is the pain of lies.

Probably not. I need to move and set up house. Not a good setup here. I will either make a sandwich or order Chinese or something.

No, wouldn't know what to do with one.

Probably next week. I will be leaving Thursday or Friday to spend a few days with my best friend. He needs help with his business and what the heck? I have time on my hands. First order of business will be to develop an inventory control system in Excel.

So, anyway, will probably meet with WW the following weekend.

So, I will post a poem anyway. This is a powerful poem by a Georgian, Carson McCullers. I believe she is one of the most underrated writers of the twentieth century, but hey, Kiwi hates her and she is an English professor married to a poet, so what the heck do I know?


The Mortgaged Heart

The dead demand a double vision. A furthered zone,
Ghostly decision of apportionment. For the dead can claim
The lover's senses, the mortgaged heart.

Watch twice the orchard blossoms in gray rain
And to the cold rose skies bring twin surprise.
Endure each summons once, and once again;
Experience multiplied by two--the duty recognized.
Instruct the quivering spirit, instant nerve
To schizophrenic master serve,
Or like a homeless Doppelgänger
Blind love might wander.

The mortgage of the dead is known.
Prepare the cherished wreath, the garland door.
But the secluded ash, the humble bone--
Do the dead know?

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who put his fish in a bucket
He failed to find a cure
To make the right lure
To catch red fish so he chucked it.

Are you sure that's how the "Nantucket" poem goes Todd because I think I've heard it quoted differently.

I think Carson McCullers wrote that poem so she could use the word Doppelganger. How did you get the accent marks?

I'm glad I wasn't diligent about weed whacking, the turkeys are having a feast.

When is the proper time to catch a wild turkey a spirit away from its family?

Don't know the original one. I composed this one.

I used a German keyboard.

All of a sudden, I am craving a turkey sandwich.

As I remember the Nantucket poem is changable & rather salty.

Every third or fourth year I have some deer come & eat my plants. This year they've stayed a way. At first I was happy to just watch them, then when they did some real damage I developed a desire for venison.

That explains why I don't know it.

There is a trick to preventing deer from eating shrubs. Find them so much deer corn that they have no appetite for shrubs. The other trick is to sprinkle bloodmeal on and around the plant.

Have you figured out how to keep snakes out of your yard?

We were playing marbles this last evening and, I must say, I really cleaned up. I mean I had some ricochets you wouldn't believe. I wiped the floor with the DDs. I simply showed no mercy. I...

Wait, I did have a point. Oh yes. WW called and talked to DD1. According to DD1, WW will be coming home in two weeks.

Why does this make me sad?

Is that a good idea? Has she learned anything during the short separation?

Young velvet porcelain boy

How would I know? I am in complete NC. So, based on what I have seen, I would say I have not seen any change.
