.................................................................

The Poetry Branch has been in limbo since the prior hostess left FreeRepublic April 15th 2003. We've since learned that said hostess has lost her posting privilege. That being the case, and Jim Robinson having given his ok, I wanted to renew the thread.

FreeRepublic is blessed with many fine poets, and we look forward to seeing their poems posted on FR once again. There were many non-poet FReepers who visited the Poetry Branch for the camaraderie; we hope they will return.

I would like to invite everyone to visit and relax at Poetry and Potpourri. Hopefully you will renew old acquaintances for chatting, sharing jokes, telling stories, posting cartoons, etc. Everyone needs a place to escape from the everyday news, make Poetry and Potpourri that place.

I'm going to bid you all a fond "adieu." (Eek, that's french!! - Wash my mouth out!) :-)

Amy - hope you get your power back soon.

G'night ((((((((HUGS)))))))), y'all!

[ST.LOUIE1]

When my laptop crashed and burned, I moved my PC out to the dining room table - Dan's is in the living room, which is really part of the same room.

All that *togetherness* seems to be working. Nice. You two ROCK!!!!!

As *you* would say. LOL

Beginning to End...

I don't know what to say....It touches me deeply...

[Mama_Bear]

how's about running 'in' *here*? LOL

Okay, I'm here. I told you I'd be back. Now I need to check in over on the Finest thread. Maybe I will catch up with you there. :-)

Amy, I am fresh out of poems, but I do have a pretty autumn picture - "Fall in New York"....

[chadsworth]

Well, hopefully she won't. :)

I see you did what you could to prevent LIR from seeing what my main diet was -- Cute:) but I need to give you a little lesson in being secretive. LOL

I will talk to the lipstick manufacturers and see if they can't improve their product. The lipstick you gals are purchasing just doesn't work -it doesn't stick your lips together, you can still open your mouths :) :) :) :).

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL ! A classic ! ...

You had better get the power company to hurry, these people get wild when they are unattended.

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL, I forgot to ping ya.

[Alkhin]

Hi Pippin...I am only just catching up to Freeper threads...what is this thread about??? I am afraid I am not much of a poet...and am probably poorly qualified as consultant for such literature. I am one of those malformed souls who has no feeling for poetry...

[Aquamarine]

Nice song Victoria. :)

[deadhead]

Love that song! Thanks for the ping. Have a great night all.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Wow!!! That's a beautiful GIF, Aquamarine. You are so talented.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks so much, Colleen. Nighty night.

Sweet dreams.

[Aquamarine]

Thanks but I didn't make that gif. Billie made it last year, she used that doll in the daisy mae shorts that you gave me.
I'm just now learning how to do things like that.

[JustAmy]

Welcome to Poetry and Potpourri, Alkhin!!

If you scan this thread you will see it includes jokes, stories, poetry and whatever.

Hope you can find some jokes to enjoy or a story to share. Thank for stopping by.

I'm baaaaack!! Thanks Chads.

Actually, I've finally gotten back to the PC and have been trying to catch up on the thread. I had a couple of errands that could not wait another day.

While in the middle of answering FReepmail, I lost power and telephone service. Rumor has it that a crop duster clipped power lines and took out a transformer and all telephone lines. When we contacted the power company, we were told the power would be off for about 4 hours.

Okay, may as well take care of all the errands prior to the meeting. Have you ever taken a spit bath using a couple of bottles of bottled water? Living in the country, no power equals no water, and nothing except charcoal on the barby to heat any water on hand.

Of course, the cell phone was not fully charged, so calls had to be held to a minimum. A couple of days ago, I decided to get organized and transfer phone numbers from pieces of paper to my e-mail address book. Now.... how was I suppose to get to any of those numbers? I found the slip of paper with Chads and LIR's phone number. At last, a means to get a message to all of you!!

The power came on just as we were walking out the door, decided I really did not have time to log back onto FR if I wanted to have any chance of making my appointment.

Now, I will go back and see what I missed today. LOL

Hope to see you later tonight or tomorrow.
