Finé
Broken deformed phoenix
Raising clouds of bitter ashes from the rubble of
Shattered crystal towers and castles that once
Sailed proudly through the heavens
Wasted ruins silhouetted against
The bleeding, wailing sky are like the spines of sad
Dinosaurs descending into pits of tar and the
Poisoned air is like sand in my lungs
Full of loathing and sick with sorrow, I notch
The arrow and let it fly swift and deep into the
Heart of the phoenix and then sink to my knees
As the blood runs like scarlet rose petals from my breast.
-Frank H. Weeden

Board hog. 
No, just kidding ...thanks I feel like the Phoenix sometimes. Will you kill me, too. Only when I ask, though.

No... Actually, with this, I am taking Ree's lead and taking a hiatus from the board. Maybe later, after I lurk for a couple of years, I can come back and actually have a right to post. Now if I can just get the "old timer" clique to accept me.... No... Entirely too much to ever hope for. Fuck it.

Look, it's no big deal, and I wasn't even going to mention it... I'll be back. Just feeling a little angry and sad at the moment, but I'm resilient and it's just not that big of a thang. Life goes on.

He's gonna go hang out in the Big Rock Candy Mountains for a few and then be back....
1. One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fires were burning,
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
He said, "Boys, I'm not turning
I'm heading for a land that's far away
Beside the crystal fountain
I'll see you all this coming fall
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
Chorus:
2. In the Big Rock Candy Mountain,
It's a land that's fair and bright,
The handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night.
The boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the sleet don't fall
And the winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Chorus:
3. In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
You never change your socks
And little streams of alkyhol
Come trickling down the rocks
O the shacks all have to tip their hats
And the railway bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew
And gingerale too
And you can paddle
All around it in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
Chorus:
4. In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
The cops have wooden legs
The bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmer's trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the sleet don't fall
And the winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Chorus:
5. In the Big Rock Candy Mountain,
The jails are made of tin.
You can slip right out again,
As soon as they put you in.
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
No axes, saws nor picks,
I'm bound to stay
Where you sleep all day,
Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Chorus:
See ya soon bro

I will not be afraid!
Frank - there is at least one crystal tower still standing - blow those clouds of poisoned ashes away with a mere pff and  goodbye
and you'll find us here, many of us, in our somewhat damaged but still standing crystal palace, walking amongst the rose petals - come join us again soon - please dont stay away too long
CC
and if any of you dont like this, tough!  
A lot of us good folks have been pretty shaken by some of the outrageous small-minded goings on round here  - its such a pity to see some so tainted 
whew, that took some doing, Im still shaking, I hate confrontation but Im upset and angry and must VENT!

As Den would say:
"Take what you need and leave the rest"
He also had some "Walk into the sunshine" line, but it's not really sunny out here that much, so...I don't think I can do it! ROFL
Frankster, you know that people will always care. I don't know what it is that attacks you here because I don't read every post since I'm sort of sporadic updating here and there, but I'm sorry if you feel like you have to leave.
Honestly, just take a deep breath and remember that you have friends.
Luv,
Lizzie
