...if I had not work to do, would I die, would I cry, would I at the least sigh...?
Addicted to Work… Parades & cookouts, Camping with scouts, Fishing the lake for trout, Living alone we both go without… A day to just vegetate, A day to be with my mate, Though she is not here in body, Her spirit lives on beyond her past fate… What to do with nothing to do? One does feel altogether blue, Nothing to eat not even some stew, Actually I am addicted to work, But what the hell else is new…? © ed ~5/30/05

Well, your addictions seem to be evolving... but work? ICK! If I didn't have to, I wouldn't... anywhere!

Ahhhhhh... to be free of other people's rules... but I bend them as far as I can. Life is too short to answer to others, yet we do.

I'm trying to babble, so I can ignore the heavy feeling I have thinking of you all alone, sounding lonely. Does Ruffie play cards? how 'bout Scrabble? Go down to the ocean... she will empower you. katy xox

My many years with Authors Den will come to a close in May, thank you to all that has reviewed of me, I hope you all continue on to your own end...

Most likely my END or maybe NOT!

Yep, it''s that time of the year again, break out the credit card...

Merry Christmas...

We all got em''...

The Saggy, Baggy Boobs Blues,

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...?

...NEAT...
