Do I mean something to you? Would you notice if I’m gone? It’s getting harder lately Just to keep on holding on. I may have reached the point in time To give in or give up Somehow I must have missed my sip From life’s blessing cup. I never was a parent, Failed at being a wife - Do I really make a difference In anybody’s life? My job says I’m dispensable Don’t know what I’m going to do. Maybe I’ll just sit here wondering, Feeling sad and broke and blue. But I must ask a favor - Could someone help me please? I seem to have my share of whine - Does anyone have cheese? |

Would you prefer Raspberry Basil Brie or maybe Smoked Gouda? Got a really nice aged Asiago, too.  |

Camembert? Gouda? Which might then please? for I am stocked full of all sorts of cheese... You bring the whine, I'll stock the shelves with crackers and crumpets, we'll be ourselves... Let's see just who all can come share... because I know deep down, they really care! |

A "Suthern" belle such as yourself, should be pampered, adored, and honored! It sounds like you have not been getting your due! This poem actually almost made me cry!--but your "rye" sense of humor at the end was an up-lifting denouement!---and a very clever come hither plea! tehe Sending you lots of warm hugs and some pineapple cream cheese (that may not be considered a fromage of haute cuisine but I find it very comforting!) P.S. If you set out another glass of wine, I'd love to join you! Then we can "whine" together! Linda |

SEA: Shots would DEFINITELY work! LOL I'd be giggling in no time. *G* Duncan: The Smoked Gouda, please... AND the Asiago!!! LOL (Did I mention that I'm greedy? LOL) Seymour: Sweet man, you need bring nothing but yourself... and ear plugs. LOL Shining One: Just give me directions and I'll be on my way! *G* EA: I ain't been gettin' nuttin' but threats of unemployment. LOL And as comforts go, that sucks big time. *G* I honestly wasn't intending a "come hither"... just a boot to suthern's butt to keep her from wallowing too deeply. LOL But I've got plenty of glasses and wine as well as whine... bring your hugs and pineapple cream cheese! *G* Thanks to all of you... I greatly appreciate your indulgence. *S* |

Head north, follow your red nose through the cold... hang a left on I-70, and I'll be the one out waving the white flag! |

If it takes cheese your whine to appease I fear I am a slacker for it's so cold here that it freezes your beer and the cubbord only holds crackers but head up this way if you don't mind a stay on ice and snow covered sheets the vodka is chilled and if your strong willed we'll drink until we are quackers |

Sunshine: But... but... a white flag is for surrender... and hard to see against snow and ice? LOL Cpat Hair: ROFL... I do have a strong will And I get a brief thrill From the swill of vodka, I must say And though you lack crackers I know you're no slacker But ice covered sheets mean a short stay! Toerag: You dear. *S* I'm not one to quibble 'Bout the size of the nibble It's the tastiness of the treat! And if I were with you I would never be "bleu"... Wanna lunch on some barbecued meat? |

(giggles) Sorry, I don't eat cheese (seriously, LOL) but I would be happy to share some flatbread with apple butter or coconut juice with you! (kiss on cheek) I think we all are guilty of whining every no and then, but know things will get better as your golden heart is deserving of this rest, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Suthern, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Toerag, dear, you know that you'd Make any meal taste sweet But maybe I'll just sop the sauce And let you have the meat? But really... to be near to you Is all that I could ask... To look upon your gorgeous face And in your sweet smiles bask. So g'head and chow on down I'll trade my whine for beer And be a happy suthern gal Just to know you're near!! M'toe: Flatbread's good... but no cheese??? LOL I think I'll let you keep the healthy stuff... but I'll lap up every drop of your good wishes... thank you! *S* |

sweet lady, I hope you break out of this soon...and never leave us. As upbeat at the ending lines are, I see the pain you've set in place here...it's hard to be at that point in life...I have felt this way for years, and the doc says it's depression. alawys remember and never forget: whatever you do today and tomorrow, if just a simple something different from yesterday, it will be great!

Suthern Lady...Hi  I love cheese and Florida's not too far from where you are, I'm sure, so maybe we can meet half way? Besides, I've sure been in a "whine" mood lately, too......That's why I haven't been replying as much lately. I can't seem to get the poetry just right like you do when I'm depressed. I'm serious, though, about "meeting half-way"......in thoughts, prayers, and friendship. There's lots of folks here in our great big "family of friends" who are willing, I'm sure. Love and hugs from Ethel  P.S. I couldn't think of any cute littel, witty poem to reply with, so I just replied with what's in my heart...I do that best, anyway..... |

Ruth, you can share a cup of "whine" with me anytime! It's not good to drink alone, after all! Yes, you do matter. Life can beat us down, but we always still matter. (((HUGS))) |

Suthern beloved heart, yes I’d miss you very very very much, so don’t leave me alone, the nights are too dark and the clouds hang too close. You steady me when the world goes mad And the dreams I have make my soul sad You give me the strength to find my way When my feet roam and I’m led astray You give me hope that love shines bright You lift my soul from the depths of night And when the thoughts within seem drear Your voices touch sends back pain’s fear You are the beacon that speaks to me The light within you shines clear and free The pain that falls across my soul won’t stay You shatter its hold sending it away The hand you hold out shelters me From the demons that chase me constantly It’s your smile that lifts my spirit high From the depths of hell into a clear sky If not for you I’d be left in endless rain Your touch soothes and heals the pain The sun will shine because you told it too The sky will be cloudless and ever blue If there is a reason that I’ll walk on Its because you lead my soul in song There’s no reason other than you are you Your friendship hand is always true Darling heart you are the reason to the why The answer to the questions inside the sigh Marsha Love and warm stuff as always Mushy Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

Who moved the cheese away from you? how could they do that deed to you it makes me bleu in vein of true that you have whine, no cheese fondue I'll bring the cheese I will, I will and visit you, to laugh until forgotten blues, you have your fill of the best of life, not ill. And if that doesn't save the day I'll nag Toerag back your way. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

I've heard a rumor that all you have to do is say it...."CHEESE"... and you find yourself smiling... Well said verse, suthern one... |
