    Milestones have come

    For many of us on here

    We need to rejoice!

    ____

    We say "Celebrate"

    We need to enjoy ourselves

    Every chance we get

    ____

    Life is way too short

    Not to take every joy

    That it brings to us.

    Much love to all!

    Live life once again

    Red has reason to enjoy

    The first day of Spring!

    ____

    Red so happy for you. Over and done!  I hope your skin heals well and fast. Better yet if you have no trouble. Although I've been told it can take a week after it ends to finish the burn before getting better. Here's hoping yours is an easy recovery! 

    Badger hope your Mom and you have a good trip out here. Let us know how it's going when you get a chance. 

    Any one have questions about the Campout? 

    Much love.

    I'm sorry Monica, what camp out? Did I miss something.

    Rads are all done now,

    I worked until 430

    LOL Red. Back at work!  I am hosting a camp out at my DH family tree farm in Wisconsin in late July. Anyone is welcome to come. We have many beds and the only cost will be for food as we will hve some communal meals depending on how many people want to come.  So i posted here as well as on the WI board just in case anyone can travel LOL

    Quiet peaceful trees

    People, fireplace, and fun

    To meet and to hug

    Sounds like a fun time.

    Wish I could be there with you.

    Where is Wisconsin? 


    Drama in the threads 

    Not sure what to do with that

    May have to drop two.

    Wisconsin is south of Thunder Bay. Draw a line almost straight down on a map (over Lake Superior) and you'll be in Central WI. Look for Wausau. That's about where we'll be camping. Not exactly but I don't want to put directions on open thread. Lots if pine woods and flat land. I live further east near Lake Michigan. Not so piney and way less flat! LOL.   If you could come that would be awesime. But if not I sure understand. Maybe someday we could meet up in Duluth MN. I'm not sure where in Ontario you are either. LOL.  

    Red lives far away

    In the land of the Canucks

    Lovely up there too!

    _____

    Moon's in Wisconsin

    With caves, lakes, rivers, and bluffs

    Oh. And LOTS of trees.....

    _____

    Waiting for Badger

    To tell us she and her Mom

    Have arrived just fine...

    ______

    Gina, how are you?

    Are you finished with treatments?

    Too many questions? 

    LOL! 

    ______

    Hey Blue sky willow

    Wondering just how you are

    Hope you found answers

    ____

    I'll say HELLO ALL

    If you haven't been writing,

    we miss you on here

    Bump for Kathec

    Tomboy Member Posts: 2,700

    thanks, haiku fell off

    and i just thought no one came

    to say things in lovely ways!

    I am sorry you were having a hard time on a couple of threads, Red. if you tell me who they are, i WILL go beat 'em up for you! not nice, it has happened to me too, and it hurts worse than "real life," somehow because i think i had higher expectations of a  common ground, and uncommon hurt. and i was dissapointed. but you can block em. like moon, i want to know too, so i know who to avoid. mean people suck! thanks for the bump! love, kathe

    Hate when this falls off

    And it happens way too much

    Got to try harder!

    _____

    I won't go start wars

    I hate to waste that much time

    So i ignore that!

    _____

    This is a fun thread

    We wouldn't like it hijacked

    To feed some egos!

    _____

    Today was slow day

    Did my workout at the Y

    Will hurt tomorrow!

    ______

    Hope Red feels better

    I know we'll feel better then

    So Red, get BETTER!

    _____

    KATHEC, Welcome back

    Missed all your words of wisdom

    Waiting for them now!

    _____

    Does that help Kathec?

    Or is that too much pressure

    To put on your back? 

    ___

    LOL!   Yes it's a pain when a thread drops off. This one isn't as bad as others. If you miss the dinner thread, even a day there can be 20 posts! Triple Plus is just as bad! LOL.  

    Much love.

    (does that happen? it just falls out of your favorites some how? i guess i only click on the red new box, without even looking to see which thread it is!) (((Red))). (you made it through rads with flying colors, you will be fine, it just takes time)

    O poetry gals

    Won't you come out tonight,huh

    Come out tonight-hey!

    kathec, I know I lose threads all the time. Remove from my favorites is right above the posting box and it's really easy to touch it as you are scrolling yo post. At least that's what I am assuming is what happens. I kind of watch it now and have noticed it flashing go blue sometimes and that's when it goes bye bye! If I don't notice it right it can be a week or more before I realize I haven't read anything on a board and go looking for it! LOL.  

    Sometimes it's just us

    With our clumsy fingers too

    No one else to blame.....

    Red IS number 1

    Though it's hard to understand

    She needs to be that!

    Poetry is fun

    Whether short poem or long one

    Just write and it's done!

     Hang in there Red. You have to take care of you in order to take care of anyone else. 

    Badger I hope you and your Mom are doing ok.

    A sharp wind belies

    the beckoning sun.  The birds

    sing welcome to Spring.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The "leaves" on that tree

    is a flock of singing birds.

    They just flew away!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Today I will play

    pick up sticks in my backyard.

    Winter detritus.

    Caught between two friends,

    Red didn't want to hurt either,

    So she chickened out.


    My Kathy, my Lynne

    At war with each other still

    Painful for them both


    How about drinking

    First site I really enjoyed

    Then I found Bonfire 


    Fun and irreverent 

    Both sites had their charms, but then

    Caught in the middle.


    Kathec, I'm aware,

    You love Lynne and so do I

    Wish I was bus bound. 


    But if I post there

    Lurkers beware, I know they

    Watch the others site.


    Aww. To heck with it. I can't explain this in haiku well. I will hurt Kathy by being on bonfire, but if I ignore Lynne on drinking, I will make Kath feel better but hurt Lynne. I really struggled with this and decided to back out of both sites. I too lurked for a couple days, and I haven't quite gotten to the point where I take them off my favorites. But I guess I should because I want to be there every time I see a post. Especially when we are just being silly. It's a great release. I love both sites but I can't add to what my friends are going through. 

    Love you ladies.

    ((Red)) I'm sorry you didn't feel more welcome at the bonfire.  IMHO there's always room for one more on a magic bus trip. ♥ 

    We are sisters bound

    together by circumstance.

    WTF you guys?

    Red, i am so sorry that there is trouble of that sort on these boards. i have had to stay away from one or two, myself, and the first time it happened, i just aboout cried, and it really affected me, and made me sad. almost unbearable sad, because i guess i had set the bar so high for BCO, was expecting more compassion from people who had experienced a common awfulness. but really, there are all sorts, and mostly i do stick to the more informative type threads. and with so many personalities, it is hard easy for one to get knocked off balance. and i do know what you mean by lurkers, too, and i have had to block a couple. but then i even got so paranoid there for awhile, that i was sure they had one of their minions report back to headquarters so to speak. brrrrr, no fun. i hope i am not the kathe who should be careful? is there something going on i dont know about? please pm me if so, and i will be the one to avoid any trouble makers i shoulld know about, ok. hiaku buds are the best. i dont know who lynn is, but i am glad that you are here. if there are people that cant be friends with someone cause of who they talk to, that is sick, and so third grade. so i amm so sorry for you, that you had to experience this, so i will see you here! didnt know how to say that in haiku. i dont care who sees my writing, it is how i feel.

    i dont think i go to drinking....

    aw Red. I read some of the posts. Neither will let it go. You are caught in the middle. The bar is set pretty high here in BCO. We have avoided most of the drama found on boards like this. There's been a few big ones I remember but we'll I try to stay away. Just not worth it. I will pm people rather than post if it's a big deal. 

    I am glad you're here

    Writing all the little things

    That make up our lives.

    SPRING

    Snow

    Wind

    Rain

    Mud

    Sun

    A poem I wrote in high school.

    Love

       Is

          A

              River

                 So

                     Deep 

                          And

                               Swift

                                    Flowing

                                        That

                                              Most

                                                   Drown
