I am really really upset so upset I am going to have a cigarette. The chap who is doing up the house next door is cutting down all the trees birds nests and all!! I shot down to make sure they weren't cutting mine down and ask what the hell they were doing it for and all I got was shrugs then when they thought I couldnt see or hear them they were tsking the piss prancing around and saying in a high voices "Don't cut my trees down" then laughing their heads off! I got all tight and hard inside and for some reason their power saw stopped working and won't start again ...... coincidence? My magpies are nesting in my biggest tree next to where they are working as they do every year I just hope they don't desert

Maybe a paint ball gun?

Good morning Sweet (morning here). I hope your day gets better.

UYS, while you've got the hex on them and their saw, phone the council office and see if they need a permit to remove trees. I imagine some of them, if they're over the house or any "permanent" structures would be acceptable or if they're sending roots into plumbing, as well, I suppose. Here, we have green space maintenance bylaws that means you can't just cut a tree down without replacing it, because you want it so.

Still in PA? You're closer to my time zone now.

Erm I don't think I want to antagonise 5 asian guys with a power saw to hand quite that much even WITH Chloe protecting me!

Has anyone seen Hmmnmm lately? I haven't seen him around

Still in PA. Same time zone, though. Lancaster, PA and Miami Beach both EDT. It's almost eleven here. Are you okay? Are you home? Is it still cold there? My prayers have been with you. I miss your voice around here.

It's 58 degrees here, and I'm freezing. I don't own any warm clothes (yet). Just these stupid flowered shirts I wear all the time back home (Mojitoville, you know,) and 58 is killing me. I'm going out in a bit to buy a coat. We're spending a few days exploring the town and the house--our bid was accepted, and the place is empty, so we are allowed to roam free inside and plan. The kids think this is all a hoot--running around an empty house deciding where their things will go, while we tsk tsk over awful bathrooms and kitchen that need explosives. Very cool house, though. Nothing that lots of money can't improve.

Show 'em the dogs. If they are really 120 pounds, they might be bigger than the tree-cutters.

UYS, tihmmnmm is kicking around. He actually was active in the forums about 30 mins ago. Send a pm and ask how he's doin'.

Chefapalooza, I'm ok. I've had a lot of life intruding on my virtual reality lately. Unfortunately, much of it is spent driving (I live 3 hours northeast of Edmonton, which is the closest major centre). Any specialists appointments (or hardware shopping, yes spring is home improvement time) is usually accomplished in the city, so to devote 6 hours in a day to being on the road for a 30 minute appointment is a bit tiring.

I didn't realize Pa wasn't a bit further inland. But on a map you're closer, maybe latitudinally . We've been having some extremes in weather. Four days ago we had 87 degree (F) temperatures and fires being fanned with 50 mile an hour winds, today, the wind is only gusting to 30mph and it's raining and around 44 degrees (F). Our 'mercan visitors have had a taste of our local climate served up 3 ways and yes, many of them are in parkas. We simply roffle at their silliness.

We have a major military exercise annually called Maple Flag, the Canadian half of the US's Red Flag. It's where NATO allied air forces come together to work as a unified threat to unfriendly forces. There is a 2000 square mile bombing range used for live ammunitions loved by all aircrews who participate in the exercise and competitions. I'll take some pics at the open house this week and get them into the photo album...

Don't think my dogs weigh that much although I havent weighed them for a while think it was Bijou said that her dogs did though tut tut are you mixing up your amours ?

fucking pricks (the tree-cutters, not the magpies - magpies are cool): somebody should mow them down. Or whoever. bah!

The bastards have taken out one of my tall trees!! I suppose I should have stayed and guarded them but I was so upset I got as far away as possible and they have trampled my broccolli and sprouts plants down too

As they say in the nation south of here, "Don't waste that hate, litigate!" Sue 'em. I'm so sorry they damaged your property. Is this a city crew? If it is, your mayor should have something to say.

​

I made some poetry/prose regarding a similar happening here (not nearly as severe and rude and near as yours): trees shaved off along the river in town. It was the 'city' who did it. Never found out why. This kind of stuff really... really...

and fuck the litigation. sometimes you just gotta figure out how to... you know. Someone needs to suffer for that. Someone must speak for the broccolis.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

It's the guy doing up the house next door it got real run down and was repossessed and he bought it at auction ... the fence his side is down and he has decided which trees are on his property and chopped them all down. The one of ours was right on the fence line but it wouldn't have taken rocket science to figure out it was ours its part of the big one the magpies are nesting in ffs

I have just found out that I was conceived on or about 15 May 1949 which was a Sunday. I was born in the chinese year of the Ox. My Native American Zodiac sign is Otter; my plant is Fern.
born in the Egyptian month of Parmuthy, the fourth month of the season of Poret (Emergence - Fertile soil). I am 1,839,561,951 seconds old. My birth tree is

Poplar, the Uncertainty
Looks very decorative, no self-confident behaviour, only courageous if necessary, needs goodwill and pleasant surroundings, very choosy, often lonely, great animosity, artistic nature, good organiser, tends to philosophy, reliable in any situation, takes partnership serious.

The moon's phase on the day I was born was waning gibbous.

This wouldn't be allowed in Australia. You have to get council permission to cut down ANY trees, even those on your own property. And the Council will likely NOT give permission, unless the tree is in danger of falling over on your house. Hence where I live is completely green. From the air it must look like a forest with a few roofs peaking through.

I'm amazed that this is allowed in Britain: but the current state of Britain — well England really — is a source of unremitting despair for me. What the fuck has happened to the place?

Dear God! Sue 'em.

 

[Homburg]

Her eyes have looked to me for two decades. She is my rock, the earth upon which I've built our life. She wants to be my sun and moon, and can't quite see why earth and stable stone mean more to me. She sees me gaze to the heavens and wishes I looked so at her. She can't understand how lost I would be without her.

I would give every poem left in me to make her see that fact. I would never write nor paint nor sing again if she could but see herself how I see her.

Take these, mine eyes, and see thyself.

Homb you have a beautiful soul

 

[WickedEve]

My soul scratches itself and burps. It keeps the rest of me seemingly polite in public.

 

[Millificent]

*clears throat nervously*

Two hands
intertwined
resting on the stomach
of the prone
figure
fingers touching fingers
touching sides and back
three forms
one perfect union

You burp n fart all you want hun better out than in

*clears throat nervously*

Two hands
intertwined
resting on the stomach
of the prone
figure
fingers touching fingers
touching sides and back
three forms
one perfect union

You seem to have this thing going strong for you hun and I am glad you are happy and fullfilled

 

[unpredictablebijou]

*dashes in, reads everything really fast*

Viv, that is gorgeous. Really nostalgic for me, too. There's nothing like three in a bed for a sensation of total nourishment...

Eve, LOL! I think we have a lot in common...

and UYS, we'll change the poetry challenge deadline accordingly and as for the tree butchers, well, tie their tiny dicks in knots, by god. It sucks to have to watch carnage like that, and I'm so sorry.

*dashes out again. Back later for a short while and then gone some more.*

carry on, lovely poets,

bj

 

[WickedEve]

I don't poot. It's a medical condition. My man says he's worried about it. Of course he doesn't realize I pop gas-x often. I simply refuse to pass gas. And I only burp when I drink beer. Okay, that's probably not ladylike. I think that's another thing I'll let my soul take care of. "Really, it wasn't me. It was my soul. My soul is uncouth."

Homb I went and got some of that Glucosamine chontroitin from the health food shop today good job it was a half price sale my word its expensive and the size of them it's like swallowing bloody horse pills! I am terrible at taking pills so I will be awash with what I have to drink to get them down.
On a diff note last August I had a DEXA scan for osteoporosis as my mother had it when I rang for the results I kept getting fobbed off that the results werent back then that the doctor hadnt seen them yet and I would get a call if anything was wrong so I let it slide. Then a few weeks back I had one of those private things and the results of that recommended I had a DEXA scan! So I got onto the clinic again and they said oh the docotor has nt seen it yet and you will get a call back! I had to go in today for one of my regular women's pokes n prods (ouch) and I created hell about the DEXA scan the nurse found it on the computer and told me she isnt qualified to actually diagnose from the results but she thinks it means my spine has a slight deterioration and I should see the doctor. So back I trooped to the reception, the ones who had been mucking me about and made my point clearly and concisely as to what I thought about the situation ...... and I see my doctor on Tuesday!

...we'll change the poetry challenge deadline accordingly...

I know it's been awhile for me, but I think I missed something in my catch-up reading. What is the challenge, and what are the rules?
