Hi--Tam here--I'll bring a bean salad & my grand-daughter. You figure the Freudian symbolism,

Holden. A very lovely, moving, touching pome! The unknown lover to the unknown beloved separated by chance & pain & suffering is simply a marvelous emotional & intellectual ordering of meaning. The "romeo and romeo" at once delightful & heartrending--fate then trumped by th...

Welcome Scott,

You will find good resources on tridd & good friends. Good PFLAG group. On the medical questions, I recommend you contact Troy (troy@tridd.com). He can direct you on the ins & outs.

Welcome again.

Very happy you're with us. Welcome.

Hi Hersal,

Many,many welcomes. When life gives lemons, switch to good scotch!

Hi all,

Tony will be at Baylor at least through Friday Jan. 25, & probably a day or two more. He welcomes in person & phone visits: 214-818-7531. That's his room phone that he can answer directly.

Cheers, love, joy, peace, & slainte,

Troy, As a concerned citizen I'm signing this petition. I've personally seen SHRET's failure to step up to the plate for HIV patients in need. I also have met Sue & at a recent meeting witnessed her enormous & gentle skill as a counselor. She will be a devastating loss to the HIV, gay, &...

Ox, Read the pome before logging in & had to log in to tell you that your pome & you are beautiful--pome took my breath away. The catalog of flagging body parts countered by the assertion of beautiful and finally of unflagging spirit assaults, yeah, assaults, the sensibilities. I second Gerr...

Elpe, A very beautiful & haunting piece. I've just been dealing with the attempted suicide of a very dear one. The trains going by have great resonance for me who very often travels England & Scotland by train. The mysterious little towns & villages with their forlorn yet hopeful station...

Troy,

Perfect for us all. Thanks.

Cheers, love, joy, peace, & slainte to all tridders (Steve Cantrell's delightful coinage),

Hi Steve friend, A list of one can certainly be a majority of one, & a majority of one can be on the shopping list, Santa's list, a things to do list & looking out the window "blindly" lets the reader "see" that a list of one can only be a lonely list--not anyone even to ...

Hi Steve, Nobody expects an answer, I think. Do you really want to know about today's bout with lumbago? about my damned headache? about my miserable children? about my dense spouse/partner? I don't think so & I think you'd be shocked if someone started to tell you instead of using the place fil...

Hi Jeanne, No, Steve's not the only one to reply. Your favorite pest back on duty. And it's not boo diddley, etc. "Mind that seals/So a soul can be free" simply a fine, chilling image. Sealing hardly allows freeing, only a pretense at it, a test so the later suspicion can say, "gotcha...

Hi friends, Desiderata a beloved of mine too. I sit holding a little "holy card" in my hand that says, "Found in Old Saint Paul's Church, Baltimore; Dated 1692." Don't know where the Max guy fits in (plagiarism?), but Old Saint Paul's is & the date 1692 I've seen many times b...
