The Angry Republican’s Neighborhood

The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance...
our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other in and out of time.
When the first stone looked up at the blazing sun
and the first tree struggled up from the forest floor
I had always loved you more.
You freed your braids...
gave your hair to the breeze.
It hummed like a hive of honey bees.
I reached in the mass for the sweet honey comb there....
Mmmm...God how I love your hair.
You saw me bludgeoned by circumstance.
Lost, injured, hurt by chance.
I screamed to the heavens....loudly screamed....
Trying to change our nightmares to dreams...
The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other in and out
in and out
in and out
of time.

Every time I see Madea's Family Reunion...and it comes to the wedding scene...I fall in love all over again...I love this poem...most of all I love Maya's voice.

To fall in love and have it last is the sweetest thing to have to pass...yet at this time my love is bound. Sealed away to protect the shell of sanity so thin and fine. One crack and it's likely to fall to pieces. ...

How old do you think children should be before they join social networks like Facebook and MySpace?

 

At least sixteen...with parental supervision...i mean like the parent make sure that they have parental controls put up not just on the computer...and make sure you child's page is private...she/he doesn't add anyone they don't know...

Go forth and fill your libraries with media.

Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.

I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.

I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.

Cheers,

daisy

Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.

We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.

I will keep you posted.

Thank you for being so patient.

I finally have been able to go to a meeting. I didn't want to go. I wanted to quit recovery. I didn't want to relapse, I just didn't want to deal with people anymore. I'm so glad I went though. It was what I needed. Even though my depression isn't totally lifted, I got a new perspective on things. At least I don't feel like dieing anymore. My kid got picked up yesterday (a day early, I might add) so she could visit and go to her uncle's wedding. I miss her terribly but my friends and everyone say I should enjoy this free time. I know I should and I'm going to try. Even with my depression, I'm going to try a little of a positive outlook. If I don't I'm surely going to do something stupid like relapse and I really don't want to do that. It's gloomy and cold outside and usually I would be gloomy and cold right along with the day but i don't know. I don't really have much else to say, so I guess I'll stop.

Which do you prefer? City life or country living?

That's a hard decision. I like living in both...there are pros and cons of living and in the country and in the city
