It is not helping my figure-but it sure tastes good. <br><br>I agree on the hoo haw over the word refugee. They are definitely needing refuge. there's nothing negative about that. Just a reminder that Donne was right. Some laughed at Hillary Clinton tried to tell us it took a village to raise a child. Looks like its going to take the whole country and then some to rebuild the gulf coast.<br><br>Jackie<br>http://journals.aol.com/thesheatons/PixelsPoliticsPosiesandPussycatsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-6895134947659265972005-09-09T23:36:00.000-07:002005-09-09T23:36:00.000-07:00Blurp away.

I highly value politeness and courtesy, but political correctness sometimes makes me want to champion my inner redneck. The silliest term I've heard yet is IDP -- Internally Displaced Person. It makes me think of someone whose surgeon found out their organs aren't where they're supposed to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-80577891844102702252005-09-10T12:14:00.000-07:002005-09-10T12:14:00.000-07:00love the photo.great poem.what is the big deal on ...love the photo.<br>great poem.<br>what is the big deal on calling the victims refugees or evacuee? i have wondered the same.<br><br>KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-20311059149712736202005-09-10T21:26:00.000-07:002005-09-10T21:26:00.000-07:00Robbie,You are a poet!!!

I'm sorry for you...the world wasn't nearly as f'd up when I was in my thirties. Or maybe it was (those were the Reagan/Bush I years) and I was just too self-absorbed to notice...

I think you have a book or two of things you have in your past you could write about. I for one would buy the book and wish you'd write more. A lot more about anything that comes into your head.<br><br>So like did you ever quit smoking for an example? If yes, how is it going. If no, where does the most difficult part come in? As a smoke free wanker for 18 years, I know how hard it is. How it kills me that two of my three kids smoke. And there is nothing a parent can do at that point, and that did I fail? Where? Doesn't their grandfather with emphasima make them think at all?<br><br>That is only one little piece of your life I'm interested in from afar. Besides wishing you'd come live in MPLS. 8-D And yes, I know you wouldn't for love nor money... Its a snow thing...
