I really didn't know about the Lair until Soaring Feather told me about it a week ago. I normally stay in WFTD because I disdain infighting. Unfortunately, it's now happening in there, too. Must be the elections or full moon or something. No, no, no, it's that evil Karl Rove and his weather machine. LOL!
Soaring Feather and I go back to the first poetry thread. I didn't post much, but I always read it because it gave me such delicious dreams. The then Hostess (RIP) and I (we) were good friends. In fact, we had people believing she was Cyber's first wife. It was hysterical.
There are several different non-combative places to hang out and IMHO, the Lair is one of the mellowest and definitely the prettiest.
I don't recall another poetry thread, but I came here quite combative over Clinton in 1998 and didn't settle down for several years.
Just think, you'll have delicious dreams again!
