Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live. Dorothy Thompson

Dorothy Thompson

The old Gray Ghost comes and goes. lol This is a test!

I must have been La Queen that got this thread going again. Welcome back, you are always missed.
Now for the real test can I post once again too.
Yeah, I can post. It was double, but that is better than not being able to post at all.
Welcome back LaQueen.
Glad you are here Gray Ghost. Trust me, you are on the "absolutely do not ban list", along with several others.
Okie, I wish I had answers for you and Gray Ghost, but I don't.
I can ban those we do not want around, change names, and a few other simple things. Anything involving making the forum run is beyond my abilities. I leave all that up to BLWedge, and thank him for all he does to keep FS running.

“There isn't any symbolism. The sea is the sea. The old man is an old man. The boy is a boy and the fish is a fish. The shark are all sharks no better and no worse. All the symbolism that people say is shit. What goes beyond is what you see beyond when you know.”
Ernest Hemingway
"THE ROSE did caper on her cheek,
Her bodice rose and fell,
Her pretty speech, like drunken men,
Did stagger pitiful.
Her fingers fumbled at her work,— 5
Her needle would not go;
What ailed so smart a little maid
It puzzled me to know,
Till opposite I spied a cheek
That bore another rose; 10
Just opposite, another speech
That like the drunkard goes;
A vest that, like the bodice, danced
To the immortal tune,—
Till those two troubled little clocks 15
Ticked softly into one."
Emily Dickinson
Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not. Samuel Johnson
