Easy as falling off that log Complicated as a tangled knot We are born into the music But we still must learn the dance Hurt and joy go hand in hand leather and lace has its place There has to be some intimacy a little tenderness to see it through and just enough passion to be true LGRĀ©2/21/14 |

Ahhh . . . You have the blueprint for love, that's a fact. ~*~ It's not that the man did not know how to juggle, he just didn't have the balls to do it. ~*~ |

Jerry I was trying to draw attention... no, wait, draw straws... no, wait, draw a happy conclusion as to what (in my humble opinion) the building blocks of a lasting loving relationship are. I've been married over 30 years (not to the same person) I'd like to think I have some idea what works and what doesn't (yes, I was a child bride. Practically an infant) Lori |

After all that time being wed I would imagine it would give you an insightful way of making it work. Your husband is very lucky. ~*~ It's not that the man did not know how to juggle, he just didn't have the balls to do it. ~*~ |

Thanks for the vote of convidence Jerry, but I'm sure there are days he would swear he didn't fall off that log but that I hit him with it! LOL!! Lori |

Eh . . . It goes with the territory. Sometimes you have to make your point in whatever way you have to. ~*~ It's not that the man did not know how to juggle, he just didn't have the balls to do it. ~*~ |

There is no better thing Richy, you got that right. The only time to think about abandoning ship is if you find you are rowing that boat alone. Thank you so much for all the thoughtful things you say. Lori |

I like it a lot! Anyone would agree that you can't dance 'til you hear the music. Oh, I guess you could in reality, but one's no good without the other. Touch, but don't look |

Sometimes I like to go out back in the 'alley' and see if I can find some overlooked treasures. You know, the ones with 0 hits? Well, when I found one that had 20 hits, I slid across the seat to see who the author was and what attracted so much attention to their post. Lo and behold! It was you Miss Lori! After reading your lovely and well constructed poem, I grabbed hold of it and drove it up to the top so folks can have another read themselves. Hope you don't mind. I wouldn't want to set you to blushing. 88's friend She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

I'm delighted! Given that my memory isn't what it used to be I had to read it to remember what I'd written! If you really want to make me blush you will have to do better than that... ~L |
