If we all repeat our posts in both threads, maybe a mod will shut this one down, or not.

That the theme song for Billy Jack is poetic , it’s always interesting reading the overnight posts in all the different sections of the site.

Lyrics
Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley-folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stone
And the valley-people swore
They'd have it for their very own
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgment day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill
It came an answer from the mountain
With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain
All the riches buried there
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgment day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
Now the valley cried with anger
"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they killed the mountain-people
So they won their just reward
Now they stood beside the treasure
On the mountain, dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it
"Peace on Earth" was all it said
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgment day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgment day
On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away

Sorry too long for my attention span.

I'm sure it was most enlightening like most your posts.

Absolutely spectacular day.
Can’t replace the mountains....but beautiful enough in its own way.

Life is wonderful.

Lyrics
Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago...

That song is titled 'One Tin Soldier', I've been playing and singing it for decades - often around campfires. In a large enough crowd there are usually a few others who will sing along. It's one of my favourite sad folk songs for somber moments, closely rivaled by:


The Queen and the Soldier
-by Suzanne Vega

The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
He said, "I am not fighting for you any more"
And the queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
And slowly she let him inside

He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill
And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will
Only first I am asking you why"

Down the long narrow hall he was led
Into her rooms with her tapestries red
And she never once took the crown from her head
She asked him there to sit down

He said, "I see you now and you are so very young
But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won
And I've got this intuition, says it's all for your fun
And now will you tell me why?"

Well, the young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye
She said, "You won't understand and you may as well not try"
But her face was a child's and he thought she would cry
But she closed herself up like a fan

And she said, "I've swallowed a secret burning thread
It cuts me inside and often I've bled"
And he laid his hand then on top of her head
And he bowed her down to the ground

"And tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel
As you are living here alone and you are never revealed
But I won't march again on your battlefield"
And he took her to the window to see

And the sun, it was gold though the sky, it was gray
And she wanted more than she ever could say
But she knew how it frightened her and she turned away
And would not look at his face again

And he said, "I want to live as an honest man
To get all I deserve and to give all I can
And to love a young woman who I don't understand
Your highness, your ways are very strange"

But the crown, it had fallen and she thought she would break
And she stood there ashamed of the way her heart ached
And she took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait
She would only be a moment inside

Out in the distance her order was heard
And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word
And while the queen went on strangling
In the solitude she preferred, the battle continued on

I feel like I should post something really long and meaningful. Maybe a Shakespeare play. I think Hamlet is the longest.

I can’t believe it’s almost been a year already…..I miss you, more than I expected, more than I have a right to, but I hope you’re doing well.

That PMDD and menopause can both fuck right off

@AngelicaS1780 are you still dealing with PMDD, i suspect my wife has it, yet she refuses even the slightest thought or discussion about it. 41yo .... probably with perimeno also kicking in ....

Thankfully, I am not.

@AngelicaS1780 is there any good hint or advice you could give me or my wife to approach the possible pmdd? what was a game changer for you?
