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

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.

Thanks! normally I do not have too many words..

[dansangel]

Uh-oh - you sure messed up, Dan! Now there will be no more ready-made, store-bought birthday, anniversary, or valentine cards. :)

Kewl! I hadn't thought of that!

:-)

[MistyCA]

Well, if you are a person of few words, you sure do save them up for good use! :)

[ST.LOUIE1]

I'm stunned, I tell you! He's quite an artist, too, but he'd never share that with you. I consult with him on all of my threads for his input on how they appear visually.

The 'quiet' type, eh? maybe you should be adding his name to your threads? : )

***BUT**** - I can outshoot him anyday. ROFL!!

LOL!!!!

[.45MAN]

Thanks to both of you. I am new at this, well not really, but it's been a very long time...

.( my main diet- uh oh, I had better be careful - doghouse is vacant right now)- and I hope LIR doesn't see this one.

Right. Well, hopefully she won't. :)

[Billie]

WoooooHooo! Let's roll!!!

LOL! Could you take me over the river and up the hill to the Finest? I have a few more pings to answer there. :)

The 'quiet' type, eh? maybe you should be adding his name to your threads? : )

Definitely a "silent partner." But, maybe no more. I think he's found his "voice." LOL!

Pings to a few of my Texan (and non-Texan) FReeper FRiends for this gem I received in my email:

Due to the popularity of the Survivor shows, Texas is planning
to do its own, entitled "Survivor-Texas Style."

The contestants will start in Dallas, travel to Waco, Austin, San
Antonio, over to Houston and down to Brownsville. They will then
proceed up to Del Rio, on to El Paso, then to Midland, Odessa,
Lubbock, and Amarillo.

From there, they'll proceed to Abilene, Ft. Worth, and finally back
to Dallas.

Each will be driving a pink Volvo with bumper stickers that read:

"I'm gay....I love the Dixie Chicks....I'm a vegetarian....I voted for Al
Gore....George Strait Sucks....Hillary in 2004!... and I'm here to
confiscate your guns!"

Anyone who makes it back to Dallas alive, wins.

[Argh]

Texas stuff for the Whyisa.

[dansangel]

Thanks for passing it along! :-)

[Argh]

Thank you for posting a good chuckle, Miss Angel.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Thanks to both of you. I am new at this, well not really, but it's been a very long time...

Well, time hasn't been unkind, .45, you write beautifully.

[dansangel]

(((((Argh)))))

I get so much *junk* in my email - it's always a pleasure to get something funny.

[ST.LOUIE1]

The 'quiet' type, eh? maybe you should be adding his name to your threads? : )

Definitely a "silent partner." But, maybe no more. I think he's found his "voice." LOL!

Shhhhh.....don't say too much....he's in the room. LOL

You're right though, he does seem to be more 'talky', lately. LOL

"I'm gay....I love the Dixie Chicks....I'm a vegetarian....I voted for Al Gore....George Strait Sucks....Hillary in 2004!... and I'm here to confiscate your guns!"

Anyone who makes it back to Dallas alive, wins.

Dansy, I doubt the contestants will make it out of Dallas.
Oughta be a short series.. "one-hit wonder" as it were!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Thanks for thinking of me Argh.....

[ST.LOUIE1]

WoooooHooo! Let's roll!!!

We're off!!! Your wish is my comm....aw, I already told you that! LOL

[dansangel]

You've confirmed what I suspected to be true (((((((humblegunner))))))

:-)

[dansangel]

Shhhhh.....don't say too much....he's in the room. LOL

You happen to be correct. We have our respective PCs set up in the same room so we can FReep and do our other *computing* together - LOL!

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. Even though I've gotten the laptop fixed, I've left my PC out here as I've gotten accustomed to it being here and working on it once again.
