OF MOTHS AND MEN JM, have you read this one? I understand it offers great incites (spelling intentional) to understanding the ways of men and moths, and how best to not upset the balance of nature. I’ve heard that men don’t fly, but women do.. off the handle when they are upset. Do you believe it? I’m wondering, what does a lady moth do when she is angry? Is there an anger management technique, to solving a problem, or do moths just fly away and hope the problem can’t ketchup with’m? I’m at a loss for answers, so anything you can do to help adjust my wings and help me fly straight today will be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance for your technical assistance. ![]() [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (04-21-2003 04:19 PM).] |

They say hell hath no fury like that of a moth scorned ... these wings are singed, scorched, tired, tattered and torn. I'm not the best to give advice, my own I cant take ... for the warm of the flame ... my heart I will forsake. I'd love to offer you the wisdom of my winged insight ... but far too many times... I've been blinded by the light. Wings are overrated ... or perhaps I just never learn ... So I live by the mothy motto of ... burn baby burn. ![]() ![]() You're the best I've ever felt ... |

We are more alike than you could ever imagine. ![]() Funny how we seem to enjoy the flames over the cooling streams, huh? Hell, let's just enjoy the warmth. |

LMAO.. you two crack me up... In the end run of all that is said we live, learn to love on the way and all too soon we are dead. In each touch of another whether in anger or in the 'flame" our hearts only grow deeper and we are never the same. |

LOL... Trailing moths it is true can be as sticky as glue for all through the air they leave little for compare but I just lit a flame and to it they came and I got to read their despair. |

~Smoke and Ashes~ by:Tracy Chapman from the CD New Beginings I thought I'd won your heart when I held your hand in mine I thought it was true love the way we complemented each other But my right is your wrong And when you're right then I'm left with nothing Your light and your heat have all been spent Leaving only smoke and ashes Only smoke and ashes baby I've got a red hot heart Any your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins I say there's fire down below You say it's only smoke and ashes baby ~~~~ Moth anthems...ya gotta love em ![]() |

(chuckling)... Tell me does the road soothe the aches and all the pains like the touch of another one or does it negate your gains You can ride a thousand backroads and search a million miles but nothing baby's gonna soothe the ache like when a lover smiles. So cruise upon the highways and try to forget that name in the end you'll just be lonely if you keep playing at this game Song lyrics.... by RWT as yet unplublished.. |

LOL, yes, perhaps. But at least I'll crash in the very best company! I can't laugh too much right now though since I'm ![]() (Nina Simone was one of my all-time favorites.) |

'or do moths just fly away and hope the problem can’t ketchup with’m?' Page 753, section 25, subsection 12, paragraph 2... Moths love ketchup. |

I'm afraid to hear it you'd have to find someone to sing it.. I am about as musical as a toad.. only noise... not harmony.. |

I’ve heard that men don’t fly, but women do.. off the handle Goodness yes!!! What a fun thread, burn baby burn she says! But for how long exactly?? A melt down is enough to send me into a panic attack, so I best stay clear of the flames so I don't burn my hiney. Fun write Kacy~ |

Thanks for adding to the humor of this thread, Bluesy. Hey, maybe you could sing Ron's song? Or maybe we should be the Blues Sisters? |

When I saw the title's light I zinged to Moth Queen for insight for I knew she could bring the burn as only those who know blue flame learn... for what's invisible to all the rest is how the moths surpass the test... |

I viewed from the sidelines Like a bug upon a leaf. I marveled at the poetry Of moths and men, “good grief!” So few words can describe The draw of moths to a flame, So I came and got burned again, Just to play Kacy’s game. I fly away with wounds again, Having learned a thing or two ... Don’t mess with moths or men Whatever else you do! They will try to out-talk you Though they don’t have much to say, That is why this moth flys single, Yes, even to this day! ![]() ![]() [This message has been edited by Mysteria (04-22-2003 01:16 PM).] |

ROTFL at your reply Sharon. You always have plenty to say, and can fly equally alongside the best of the flock. ![]() |
