Neato, Maine!

Burke's Restaurant is still going strong by the way, although I've never actually been there.  I just think "that's mommy's sink restaurant" when I pass it, which is about three times a week.

One category of my recurring dreams is bathroom-fixture malfunctions and mishaps, and this overlaps with another category, which is being caught with my pants down in a bathroom.  For example, I'll be looking for a bathroom stall that has a locking door and a decently clean toilet -- stall after stall, maybe wandering into another, less frequently used part of the bathroom, perhaps, in search of a toilet.  I'll find one, whip down my pants and get ready to do my business, when suddenly the stall walls fall away, or I realize I made a mistake and the toilet is in the middle of a sales floor in a department store, or it's in a MEN'S room.  I can't stay there on the toilet, but I can get up because my pants are down!  This happens over and over again.  Occasionally I decide to take a bath or shower, and something similar happens.  And fixtures that won't turn off -- like I decide to draw a bath for myself in a house that isn't mine, and I come back to the bathroom and the water is about to crest over the lip of the tub --- total horror.

By the way I hope y'all realized that telling sinks mishaps is my way of saying I'm staying.  I don't have a lot, but I have my dreams, memories, reflections.

Awww, this is certainly a heartwarming thread!  It's very reassuring to hear all of you say you're stayin' around.  You're all stuck with me for a long time to come.  I can't imagine leaving BetterMost.  It's now thoroughly part of my daily routine and I don't know what I'd do without all the good Brokeback discussions and good friends.

Not to get philosophical or anything ... :P, but the way I see it is, there is a time to come and a time to go.  As much as we would all love to be here forever, some of us will come to a time when we feel it is time to move on, just because it's time... that is inevitable.

What counts to me is making the most of the now that we all got goin' here. ;)
I too have made some great friends here and continue to get to know more people.
This here is a great cyber-community and all in all, it's a sweet life and I'm lovin' it one day at a time!  :-*

First, I love your dreams, Sarah, and how you tell them.

Second, this place is so much what we make it.  There's no sphere of human activity without some drama from time-to-time.  Different folks feed off of different energies, so it's pretty predictable that there will be eruptions and changes.  I don't see some massive change reflected here - just a few people caught up in a drama of their own making.

But this isn't a forum defined by anyone but ourselves.  It's our own participation that shapes the conversations, interactions, and meaning.  It's easy enough to create something here if you want it, or disappear if you don't.  There are new voices emerging and old ones growing quiet ~ just like real life. 

We know how much we've come to mean to each other in our own ways, in our own spheres, and how we need that to continue or not.  I make no pronouncements here other than to say this is a community that still has relevance in my life.  How and why keeps changing. 

But I'm not too worried about what that means.  For all the changes in my life over the last 6 months, I continue to enjoy pulling up the rocking chair on the porch here, having a cup a coffee and a piece a cherry cake with y'all, and just hanging.  And sometimes I have something to say, and sometimes I got nothing.  But it seems fine either way.

I go weeks now where I read more than I write.  I have even gone 48 hours or so in a row a couple of times where I didn't log on at all.  But no one's gonna love it like us, no one else, I can see....

ca restera comme une lumiere
qui m'tirendra chaud dans mes hivers
un petit feu de toi qui s'eteint pas.

There will remain like a light
who will hold me warm in my winters
a small fire of you who does not go out.

Um, I ain't 'goin' nowhere'...  :D


I don't even know what happened, nor do I really care to know.  All seems kinda 'High School' to me.

DITTO!

It seems that our paths do not often meet on this board, but I want you to know that I love reading your posts. Always very insightful and warm. Just lovely.
Any chance you might attend our Euro Brokie meeting in September, in London? ;D
