Poem (by Edna St. Vincent Millay) May 29, 2007 12:22 pm

What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply,
And in my heart there sits a quiet pain
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a cry.
Thus in the winter stands the lonely tree,
Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one,
Yet knows its boughs more silent than before:
I cannot say what loves have come and gone,
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.

~ Edna St. Vincent Millay

Alas, back to the world of reality... say it isn't so!!

I recently got back from a 3 week trip to Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands - what a fantastically awesome time & if you ever have the chance to go, then grab it! Where do I even begin?? It was absolutely amazing & there were enough activities to last a lifetime. I went with a small tour group (8 of us, plus the main guide) and there was a great mix of personalities among us. We hung out in Quito, Ecuador at the beginning of the journey and saw the poverty that was prevalent everywhere. Little boys of 5, 6 & older walking around with shoeshine kits offering to polish our sandals. So sad - makes you really appreciate what you have and not what you don't. What an eye-opening experience as far as that's concerned. The Ecuadorian people are very gracious & happy even though they don't have much. We eventually flew to the Galapagos island of Santa Cruz & stayed in very primitive hotel conditions which had one absolute primo factor ---- it was right on the water & when you stepped out the door onto the balcony, we literally saw sea lions swimming, pelicans fishing on the rocks, giant iguanas (some the size of large house cats) sunning themselves, and thousands of those red crabs like you see in the National Geographic specials. That alone made it all worthwhile. We also went trekking through the jungles of a turtle reserve & saw these massive tortoises, some the size of small dining tables, just standing there eating some wild guava. It was pretty wild. After a few days, we then boarded a boat named The Flamingo for almost a week's worth of boating pleasure. I say this somewhat sarcastically - it was extremely cramped & uncomfortable at times since the boat was small & slightly rickety, but the scenery we saw was unsurpassable at times. One of the best things about staying on that boat was when a group of us went snorkling around Devil's Crown. It was so fantastic -- the water was crystal clear, you could see all the way to the bottom. Again, it was like a National Geographic special with all the colorful fish, wild tortoises, mustard rays, sea snakes, sharks (small & not interested in eating us) and sea lions swimming up to us. Talk about an experience I will never forget!! We also did day trips to Galapagos islands uninhabited by humans which were all pretty neat & went to a beach where the tortoises lay their eggs. I'll never forget taking a motor boat to one of the islands & seeing dozens upon dozens of sea lions just lazing on the beach & not being too concerned when we literally walked among them, some of them less than a foot away! And it was the time of year where sea lion mothers give birth, so there were tons of sea lions pups to admire as well, they were absolutely adorable.

From the boat, we headed off to another Galapagos Island called Isabela. The accomodations were much improved, although still primitive. This place was right on the beach with the ocean about 300 feet away, the view reminded me of one of those Corona commercials. A million dollar view from a slightly dilapidated shanty, so funny. We did some horseback riding & trekked miles and miles through this volcanic crater. Not to worry the guide said, a volcano hadn't occured there in 20 years or so. No, not to worry my foot. But boy oh boy, what a strenous hike that was & I ran of water half way through the return trip. So thirst it was!! We eventually left that dusty island and flew to beautiful island of San Cristobal, which was my favorite Galapagos island. San Cristobal is very charming, is probably one of the more up-to-date islands (has internet cafes!) and the islanders were gearing up for Festival, so the whole island was in a happy, festive mood. Eventually, we headed back to Quito, and then took a trip out to the highlands of Ibarra. Ibarra was great, very gracious people, much more laid back than Quito, and we saw many older people dressed in the traditional garb of little hats & wool wraps. We also visited the town of Otavalo where we got to experience some of the native Indians at their craft: looming & weaving, making reed mats & baskets, instrument making, etc. So much work goes into their crafts. Also, the Otavalo market was a fantastic time, plenty of shopping & people watching & eating to be done there.

After 3 weeks, I was a little anxious to get home, but will never forget this adventure. Again, if you ever have the chance to go, you won't regret it, especially if you're a nature & animal lover. Hope all is well with everyone & thanks for stopping by. Any suggestions for the next adventure??

My friend Russell took the pic to your left on my behalf -- thanks for the pic Russell!! How very sweet & appropriate of you!

This past Christmas was wonderful!! I got to spend time with family & friends and appreciate how truly wonderful life can be. Also, I've grown to feel this site is more than just a meeting place for singles --- it's where you can meet some wonderful people & make great friends (male & female) with lasting connections. I've truly enjoyed the ride thus far & am looking forward to what else comes my way!

New Year's Eve is almost upon us & this year I find myself doing some heavy inner-reflection. I wish all of you who see this much happiness & pleasure in 2007, and try to keep in mind that life is really too short... you need to grab it by the balls & enjoy whatever comes your way!! Whoo-ahhh!

I WANT TO OPEN A CHECKING ACCOUNT!

A crusty old man walks into a bank and says to the woman at the teller window, "I want to open a damn checking account."

The astonished woman replies, "I beg your pardon, sir. I must have misunderstood you. What did you say?"

"Listen up, damn it. I said I want to open a damn checking account now!"

"I'm very sorry sir, but that kind of language is not tolerated in this bank."

The teller leaves the window and goes over to the bank manager to inform him of her situation. The manager agrees that the teller does not have to listen to that foul language.

They both return to the window and the manager asks the old geezer, "Sir, what seems to be the problem here?"

"There is no damn problem," the man says. "I just won 50 million bucks in the damn lottery and I want to open a damn checking account in this damn bank."

"I see" says the manager, "And is this b*tch is giving you a hard time?"

A bus stops and 2 Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation.

The lady sitting next to them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of them say the following:

"Emma come first.
Den I come.
Den two asses come together.
I come once-a-more.
Two asses, they come together again.
I come yet again.
Den you have da pee twice.
Den I come one lasta time."

"You foul-mouthed s-e-x obsessed swine," retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country we don't speak aloud in public places about our s-e-x lives."

"Hey, coola down lady," said the man. "Who talkin' abouta s-e-x? I'm a justa tellin' my frienda how to spell 'Mississippi'."

Okay, so it's been 3 weeks on this site now & I must admit I'm a little hooked, especially with the magazine section. The passion, the drama, the dilemmas, the characters! Better than Oprah anyday, hands down. I don't even really survey the 'scene' (profiles) that much anymore because there's far more entertainment in the good old magazine section! Who knew.

Romance update: still feeling my way around here, still think there's an interesting man or two in the bunch. Just gonna wing it.

ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST

Count every "F" in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

(SEE BELOW)

HOW MANY ?

..................... 3?

WRONG, THERE ARE ..
6! No joke.

READ IT AGAIN !

Really, go back and try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.

The reasoning behind is further down.

The brain cannot process "OF".

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!

Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius. Three is normal, four is quite rare.
