    I missed a lot on here lately.

    Ah... though so, but wasn't sure.

    Sorry... who is Colton?

    Hello! They got my internet going this morning. The tech is on his way to the house... he called me and said he'd been working on the lines already. Woot! Don't know why he is six days early, but don't care.

    April 12 is powerful, and echoes my fears and feelings. I will read it again. All are excellent...

    *cough* math nerd *cough* I have been listening to the Canada Geese returning home, one of my favorite springtime things. Three are in the pond to the west. Lovely, timely poetry, Parker. Thank you.

    I've lost my internet. They can't come out until Sunday.

    Great review, @Parker Owens.

    Hey, all.

    Great book, and I understand skipping the evil Bridget bits at bedtime.

    Thanks, @Valkyrie. Please support the efforts of the organizers and the authors by reading and reviewing and commenting. Healthy support convinces writers to continue to engage in site collections, and that is good for everyone.

    Hello, sane ones.

    Hey, Albert. The same. Mostly confined to the couch. Rib pain really sucks.

    Hello, all!

    Thanks, Val. I always do my best to support the anthologies, and I think everyone should, in whatever way they can. Animals have taught me so much throughout my life, their loyalty and willingness to give their all for us(horses especially) making me a better person. Cats are awesome, and I could write a book about Falkor the white. Haiku, for being so concise, allows pure expression of a thought. I love writing them. Glad you enjoyed these, Val. Cheers!

    Actually, no. Tomorrow.

    Thank you, Chris. I never know when my poetry will resonate with readers, but it is rewarding when it garners a response. Cheers!

    I have always been uneasy about our gains, never trusting they would last. Maybe that is because of what we experienced in the past and understanding that bigotry and hate just doesn't disappear. "Keep 'em stupid" allows for easy manipulation, and allows for the few to control the many.

    Dogs sense much that humans don't. I believe my border Collie mourned my horse after she passed. She showed great reverence for where she was buried, and still does in fact. They understand what death is.

    Don't get me started on religion, tim. This new form of Christianity is repulsive, worshipping false idols and suggesting God is political. It's obscene. The fact is the bible was written by men, a collection of parables, and not a guidebook for what is acceptable and what is not. Faith is a good thing, a comfort when we might need it, but today's religion is most blatantly about money and power and control, thumbing its nose at morality. The foxes are in the henhouse, and they are bloodthirsty. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts. Cheers! G

    We had similar experiences, and I particularly remember the relief I felt when we left, a mother and three young children. We had no money, but we had a mother who was fierce. Your story is sad, and I know as well as you do, there was little help available back then for wives abused by their husbands. Men got away with murder, and I remember my mom got child support of $50 every two weeks, money she was never able to collect. Those violent episodes, carried out with regularity, made me who I am today as well, Tim. I abhor bullying of any kind, yet I fell into a situation not so dissimilar to what my mother had found herself in. The worst kind of people make the best liars. Thanks for being so open, and sharing your story and your thoughts. Cheers!

    I too delighted in the progress made, yet always felt uneasy about how tenuous my gut told me it was. You make an excellent point, Tim. I have seen the harshness you speak of, but I have also seen the desperation to hold onto our darker natures, deeming anything we don't like as 'woke' or better yet, something God wouldn't like, encouraged by lies, exploited fears and ridiculous interpretations. I know what it feels like to try to reach through that morass and finally give up. But yes, some folks need time to adjust, yet that shouldn't be at the expense of good people who just want equal rights and considerations. I have no clear answers, but I will do my part when I can. Thanks for reading, friend. Cheers! G
