8O Chuck reminds Nan that he is extremely visual, and really appreciates this vision of cornrows that are forever stuck in his mind now thank you very much. Will be an interesting night at work now...

Chanting preceeded humans,who learned it's power by listening to the waves,the trickeling streams,the heartbeat,buffalo hoofs and wolves howling.


Hummm, I would think we have our very own, some call it the primal scream, it makes the wolves stop howling and take notice. It came built in. The scream came first, ask a baby. Chanting is learning to control the scream. It is restraint. It's too bad people have forgotten the old ways. But see we didn't really forget, we bind ourselves, bend ourselves to only do it when it's an ok thing to do, we deny ourselevs the pleasure, the pain, the agony all relased in that primal scream. We let it all build up till we get over whelmed. I mean we have to, they don't like it if you just let loose in a grocery store. So instead we melt down. See that scream has so much power in it, it makes the very wolves tremble in the woods, it can sway a buffalo herd, it puts the fear in another human to hear the truth, but it didn't use to. They would answer you in the night.

I do.

You have to admit it would make a great Monty Python skit...Village of the Primal Scream. A place where it's just fine to cut loose and under the settings that fit you, being a life long , err, resident.

Primal Scream Therapy

The problem that I saw with it when it came out...they'd still throw me out of the grocery store, before I got what I needed.

It's going to take me a while to catch up. Let me start with Nan.

Quote:
"kilkelley, ireland, eighteen and sixty, my dear and loving son john..." .

sad song, but good.
:cry: Lot's of tears from this one. Beautiful. Thanks, Nan. Going to send it to my son Sean, a fine young Irishman he is.

Well that was easier than I thought. Didn't take me so long after all.

geez,did I scare off a few folks or is that just my ego speaking.Reguardless,I dont want to dominate the cafe,honestly.I just wanted you folks to be the first I shared with.I couldnt decide where to post this for WP feedback but finally decided on the ''Writing/arts" section,since that is who I hope will want to participate.Maybe I will move it to general,eventually.

So,that is where anyone who wants to discus this can go to contribute or I'm open to PM's for volunteers,submits,ideas,etc.One thing I know would help is if I had the ability to "edit the superflous",good lord I am a wordy SOB and know I have probably lost 90% of readers with the daunting task of desiphering my bad spelling,run on sentences and page long posts...


Robyn.....help.I'm in great need of your editing super powers.(She has a special red pen :wink: and not afraid to use it)

Glad to have the addition of your voice Blessedmom.I only howl background vocals,need somene who can carry a melody.I also am hoping you will submit some of your knitting designs,creations and suggestions.I think it is a wonderful "stim" for flappers.


no, darlin' you are not 'dominating' the Cafe. ( I know Domination and you ain't doin' it!) I am digesting it, because I want to give it more than just a glance and a toss off opinion. I am reading it more than once and I am t h i n k i n g about it. . .

criipes, and stop being so down on youself. . .you take away everything we could damn you with and it 's no fun to put someone down that has beaten you to it!!

:wink:
Merle

PS you gotta count me in, you just gotta!!

Thanks Merle,I hope to be seeing some of your writing in the mag....sort of a prelude to your book.(I hear aspie like dark humor,sure now I do).

A far as the "tearing myself apart"...how do you think I managed to avoid the majority of bullying in school.I learned that "trick" in 3rd grade.I can insult myself better thatn most people and then they had nothing left to say and I got the laughs.Self depriciation,ask the Jews,they taught me everything I know about it.What people didnt realize(and perhaps you dont?),is that I like myself even if I do know a lot of reasons I shouldnt....call it a gift.It is the same gift that allows me to like people inspite of their faults.There actually arent many people I dislike,(though I admit many bore me,a flaw I do dislike in myself).The only people I really dislike are mean people and I am nieve enough not to see it 90% of the time.

Anywhoooo,I hope you will visit the writing forum.

Nan, Do I have to move there and take care of you, too? :shameonyou: I am looking for a place, I've heard there are some near you. Maybe they'll take my dogs. It isn't looking like anyone here wants to.

oh yes! did I miss a link on your post??

you know, Postie once said to me on msn chat, "I saw your post and I just yelled 'you GO girl, that's my Woodstock Sister! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah, that ROCKS!! woo hoo! what a great post!" and then didn't post anyting about it because he had already ah. . .shot his bolt, so to speak on his verbal appreciation.

So sometimes we don't get everything we need posted back to us because YOU ARE POSTING TO ASPIES that live in their heads. It's a bummer but there it is.

Merle

B y the way. . I have the Google toolbar on my Microsoft Internet Explorer browser page and it has a nifty little spell checker that I would be far too embarrassed to post without. If you don't have it you can download it from Google and I can show you how if you wanna. . .
it works great!

Merle
