Where'd everybody go?

[Doreen Peri]

Where'd everybody go?
Are they out fishing?
Off the internet listening to the radio?
Are they out at a dance, jazz jamming?
Looking at the stars and wishing?
Dishing up some gourmet cuisine?
Are they camping at the shore or the
mountains or somewhere in between?
Are they on a road trip? Did they fly overseas?
Are they staying at a fancy hotel or maybe
with friends enjoying a summer breeze?

Where'd everybody go?
Are their computers broke?
Is anybody around who knows?
Is there a punch line coming?
Maybe it's a joke.
Is the internet out of order?

Did the log-in break?
Is it my breath for goodness sake?



Hope you all are having a good summer.
Just stopped by to say it's you I miss.
Here's a hug and a kiss.

I was here just a moment ago

[Doreen Peri]

There's somebody!



Hi Lightning Rod!

[Steve Plonk]

Just having a staycation. One thing about
going nowhere...It doesn't matter when you
show up. Just remain present and accounted for.

[Doreen Peri]

Hi Steve!

Judih, does Israel celebrate its independence day in 1948 and/or what day is it? Yes, July 4th is just another weekend in Israel. Good to have staycations , once and a while, and do nothing very slowly...my usual "slim shady" coffee is "Maxwell House". I also like "JFG", "Folgers", and even "Dunkin Donuts" and "Starbucks". Columbian is also good.

Can't afford Panamanian... But I drink some once in a while at coffee houses. My bro brought me a bag up once in 1977 from his travels down there. What are some brands of coffee in Israel? I know coffee originally came from the East somewhere...A cup of "Java"? Maybe we can google it.

hi steve -
our Independence Day comes out differently every year (about 3 weeks or so after Passover), so this year it was April something.

Coffee? we buy colombian green beans, roast them, grind them and make espresso.
Instant coffee round here is either Nescafe, Taster's Choice, and other brands of instant. Turkish coffee comes in packs and it's put out by Elite - one of the biggest firms here.

I was just gagged and taken away
against my will and I fisted and scruffed,
but my parents truly wanted my ut-most attention.

It was a peaceful week. I spent it going through old things
like my grandmother's perfume, rainbowed dishes, my grandfather's metals and fishing gear, then I relaxed on the water's edge listening to life. It was nice, missed yas though.

Did you get the chance to light any up?

[Doreen Peri]

Judih ....cay stations and slim shady coffee.. what's not to like? Hope you enjoy your trip to Canada!

Dame... gagged and taken away against your will? Well then that explains it! Ahhh... but glad you enjoyed a beautiful week with your parents! Going through your grandparents stuff must have been cool... and I envy you to have sat by the water's edge. I need the water! I must do that myself. Nice to see you. Light any up? Nah... the only thing lit up over here was the sky last night for the 4th. I saw a few fireworks over the treetops. ... a ways down the road. I'm seriously considering actually leaving the house.

[mnaz]

I'm not here . . . .

[Doreen Peri]

I can see that, mnaz! Would have been nice to have seen you.

BTW, I've had 2 regular members contact me within the last 2 weeks telling me they've had problems accessing the site. I instructed them both to clean their cache and cookies. But in both cases it didn't work.

The 2nd contact was just last night. With only one person, I was sure it wasn't the site. Now, with 2, I'm not so sure.

Has anybody who IS getting in had trouble logging in recently? If so, if you could tell me what exactly you experienced, that will be helpful. I'll talk to the host about it.

Hi D

Life altering events have had me in a funk. Hopefully I'll be able to shake it.

[judih]

(goddamn life altering events,
but) glad you shared
