Only brought the dear lady to what, Joe? You can't load a sentence like that, then accuse us of screwballednes when it goes off. Joe here: I'll have you know that my b...............oh shoot! almost blew that one!! Uhhh.........ok..........Loaded sentences aside. I somehow associate your equesrian activities to those of a certain Lady Godiva. I think resuscitation on the lawn would then be in order. Now who's loaded?? Uhhh........I mean....whose SENTENCES are loaded?? Good Grief! Joe

Dear Joe, I think you've found your true calling in life. Now - here's a humdinger: last week I joined an internet singles search-o-rama outfit, and now I've got fifteen potential dates, but I think they're only after me for my money (I lied about being a sextazillionaire just to see what would happen). What do you suggest I do? Sincerely, Little Miss LonelyHearts

Dear Joe,
We have a thread for posting our original poetry on the "Getting Creative" forum. And we have a thread for posting music lyrics on the same forum. And I think "Dear Joe" worked just fine on the Lives of the Chatterbox forum, but it got moved to the Chatterbox Advisary Board.
So I want your advice, Joe. Do you think a general poetry thread for posting the poems of Auden, Frost, Hughes, and other great poets ought to be on the "Getting Creative" forum even though it wouldn't be us getting creative, just copying, or do you think it ought to be on the "Lives of the Chatterboxers" forum since for some of us poetry is part of our daily lives? Or should it be on "News and Weather", "Getting Political", or maybe there should be a poetry thread on every forum just in case someone wants to post a political poem, for example?
Please help, Joe. I want to know where to post poems that are burning holes in my soul.
Signed, Are You There? (Each lover has some theory of his own About the difference between the ache Of being with his love, and being alone:
Why what, when dreaming, is dear flesh and bone That really stirs the senses, when awake, Appears a simulacrum of his own.
Narcissus disbelieves in the unknown; He cannot join his image in the lake So long as he assumes he is alone.
The child, the waterfall, the fire, the stone, Are always up to mischief, though, and take The universe for granted as their own.
The elderly, like Proust, are always prone To think of love as a subjective fake; The more they love, the more they feel alone.
Whatever view we hold, it must be shown Why every lover has a wish to make Some kind of otherness his own: Perhaps, in fact, we never are alone.)

Dear Are You There?,
Josie here. I think that the thread might have happily remained where it was, but possibly a moderator wanted to flex some muscles. Or just try out some control issues.
My advice? Let it go. In the end, this is almost always the best advice. Just let it go.
The poetry you post is essential to you, but perhaps not to others, so it'd difficult to know where to insert it. Personally, Are You There?, for me, poetry is like water.
May it ever trickle onto your thirsty lips.
Signed, Josie

btw, posting Frost and Carver leads into creative thought. Remember Copying the Master from a forum long ago? That thread was one of the best in which I'd ever partook. Or is that partaken?

I have no problem with moved threads. The fact that two or more have been moved leads me to think even more than I usually do about logical organization of things (I hate the way my husband loads the dishwasher; I do appreciate that he does). So, well, slb, your remark that posted poetry may lead to creative experimentation is a good thought.
I'll be back.

Dear Joe,
I have a couple of old, very soft bananas on my kitchen table. Are there any uses for old, soft bananas that don't involve baking?

Dear I want out: Joe here: I think your best recourse would be to put those bananas in the freezer. Sometime when you're in the mood, you can then make banana bread Bring me a generous slice and I'll be madly in love with you................................until it's gone. Signed Joe

Old soft bananas. Kinda makes you wanna cry.
When the kids were little and I was running late getting them off for school I'd throw a few of those 'nanners into the blender and then wing it:
Cocoa is good An egg and a dash of nutmeg /cinnamon Strawberries Ice cream Orange juice
Whatever. Then add milk to desired thickness.
Gee. Maybe I invented the smoothie.
Then I'd put them in tall paper cups with a straw and send the little darlings off to school. They thought it was neat and I could feel like a half-way good Mom.
Guess the Moms who don't serve breakfast anymore can send the kids to school early for their breakfast. Having had a son who arose at 4:00am for several years and me working second shift what I wouldn't have given to stay in bed and just let the kids be raised by the school altogether. Then there's latchkey. Heck. Just birth 'em and the state will take care of most of the rest!
Another?
In small paper cup put a little cold hot fudge sauce, center a maraschino, some vanilla ice cream, mashed banana, strawberry ice cream. Stick a popsicle stick in the middle and freeze. Instant banana split.
We were talking about fruit, right?
Another Josie

MissHart, you sound like way more than a halfway good Mom!
I created a banana cake and a banana cookie recipe, if anyone wants them.....they are honest-to-goodness blue ribbon winners at the county fair back home. They're also going to be in my cookbook (which I try to work on every day and would probably have DONE by now if I didn't play here so much....)
