inattentive

E.T.

 I agree, Sand ~ unbelievable cheekiness on their part, for sure!

I copied the following poem I saw yesterday on a thread posted by Hespera, TexTrekkie's daughter and it brought tears to my eyes.  Reposting it here in her honor.

My Last Hurrah (for my Mom)

There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on
Virtual chairs at virtual tables
Soon my friends will all be gone.

Here we talked of news and gaming
Here it was we lit some flames
Here we sang about tomorrow
Now we know all the talk was tame.

From our place in Chit Chat Corner
We could see Big Fish reborn
And we 'talked' with voices ringing
I can hear us now!
The very words that we were saying
Became our last communion...

Oh my friends, can we forgive them
For this needless thing they've done?
There's a grief that can't be spoken
There's a pain goes on and on.

Phantom faces at the 'windows'
Phantom shadows at the 'doors'
Virtual chairs at virtual tables
Where my friends will meet no more.

Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me
What all your trust was for
Virtual chairs at virtual tables
Where my friends will meet no more.

Borrowed from Les Miserables 'Empty Chairs At Empty Tables'

Hi, guys.  Spent so much time reading threads last night, I had to force myself to go to bed.  Had to take my folk's dog to the vet this morning as yesterday he seemed to be in some pain ~ hope it's not bad news.  So glad to see Wendy here and glad you were able to reach PZ, and welcome to all the new folks. 

It's hard for me to concentrate on anything as I'm so discouraged with BFG right now ~ the recent GM fiasco, lots of games that have problems, and now this.  Seems like a heartless group is running the show now; certainly not reminiscent of Paul, back in the day.  Although I didn't post much except in our thread, it was still fun to pop in and out of threads and catch up on things.  Oh well, as the saying goes, nothing ever stays the same.

Been working on Botanica and for some reason, I'm not that enthralled with it, beautiful but just doesn't have that something special about it.

I made it guys.  I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma (and really an Okie from Muskogee-lived there til I got married)
