Gotta admit I love it here, Toxicity, nuclear waste & all, Who cares, I have no fear, I’ve been here long enough, For it to by now have my body through & through seared… No matter where I do travel, Not for long can I stay, For NJ my mind does unravel, Insanity does run in our bloodstreams, Without breathing NJ’s noxious atmosphere, Nightmare does of my sleep disturb, creating waking fear… I wanna here die, Have my ashen body thrown to the sea, I don’t mean to of NJ imply, Its better than elsewhere or where you are, As if you ain’t where you are, then you’re no where, see…? © ed 4/5/09

Now I know why Ma says that you glowed in the dark! As PeeWee commented that New Jersey happens to you...and when you will take the clan down for that boat trip to Florida Keys?

There's no place like home. And you've described it well.

It is always nice to enjoy the place we call home. I think that we are fortunate, here in the USA, that we have the opportunity to live in nearly any climate and type of community we wish and still remain in our homeland.
Take care,
Sherry

Eventually, I'm sure, if far far in the future.
NJ would never be the same without you.
Long live NJ and You, Ed. -gene.

I would rather be in Ohio than in Texas, where I am now. Or maybe Alaska. Anywhere but Texas!! I hope you aren't thinking of doing yourself in; you are needed here! We need you; we love you!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

Praying for a miracle for you; you deserve and need one!!

Home is where the heart is, I've heard tell - my heart is in Alaska, although I've never been there - this one makes me sad. I hope you aren't thrown to the sea for a long time, Ed - Rufuz needs you, I need your smiling words -

(((HUGS))) love and prayer, Karla. :(

Growing up alone is not so bad...

Alone in life...

Memories I am Unable to Forget...

To wish for death...

I find it interesting that only in the wee hours of the morning is when I find myself able to write anymore... <br>

Rain, thunder & lightning, oh my...

Hey, I think I might have found a little humor...?
