Is it wrong to want to cut oneself out of society?

We have a patch of woodland out in the middle of nowhere in rural Dorset, fed by a small stream and shaded from the worst of the weather. It is mixed woodland bordered by pine and dotted with forgot-me-not, quintessential English stuff.





I have a small cabin on order, no more than a larger, insulated shed really. I am going to erect it in the middle of the woodland and move in as soon as I can, miles from the nearest town or road.





I'll get by by living off of the land, which I have experience of, and spend my days building and maintaining my land and house and chopping wood. No need for contact with the outside world unless I say so, which is absolutely the way I want it. No more gridlock, offices, politicians, wars, rudeness, terror threats and fumes. Just me, some good friends now and again, and the simple life, frozen in time. A bit of fishing and walking when I get tired.





Is it wrong of me, as a young man, to want this from life?





Thanks!

Is it wrong to want to cut oneself out of society?
That sounds like pure heaven and so it should be! Society is highly overrated and well I live in the country side also, with my nearest neighbour 5 miles away and I am a very happy person for it...Life is too short go for it!


Believe me you won't regret it...all you need is the right girl and mans best 4 legged friend to enjoy it all with...


Good luck!
Reply:You go for it sunshine.





Sounds like heaven. ; )
Reply:nothing wrong with this at all.


its your choice, if you have the means and will to do this then by all means go for it.


however i personally would count too much isolation as a negative aspect of this plan - a good circle of friends would help alot in this case. it could also be a little bit hazardous to have no-one else around in case of an accident, so keeping a mobile phone might not be a bad idea.


i recognise your motivation in getting away from certain aspects of society, however as you are probably used to company it may be a bit difficult to change.


ideally if i was in this situation i would need some kind of work or activity to keep me busy so regular trips back into the "real" world might be a good idea also.


also (if its relevant) there are scatterings of "new agers" throughout britain and ireland who go in for this same way of living, maybe research them, they probably have good advice for you.


maybe things were better back when people lived like this.
Reply:Nope, I think most of us would just envy you. Nothing wrong at all.
Reply:Absolutely not, it sounds like heaven, wish I could do the same.

Reply:That's what everyone wants but be careful! Remember the film Clockwork Orange? It was banned because of a scene where a man and woman were beaten and the woman died. Stanley kuberick was living in a remote cottage in the UK at the time, probably fearing it could happen to his wife and children as well.
Reply:Wrong? I think not!





Sounds idyllic, really...think I'm jealous
Reply:It's not wrong,but it's mentally unhealthy to feel that way.

Could someone tell about the freemason's? please?

my granda was one but he didn't/couldn't tell anything about it all i could see that he done was go to meetings and playing domino' i know nothing at all about their beliefs!





another thing when he died they gave my gran a little blue flower! she calls it a forget me not but it must symbolise something? no

Could someone tell about the freemason's? please?
I am a Freemason and will be happy to answer honestly and openly.





The Forget Me Not is a Freemason symbol used during Nazi Germany so that Freemasons could recognize each other; they were hunted and killed by the Nazi's.





The Forget Me Not is also used by the Society of Blue Friars (or something like that) which is an invite only body of Freemason Authors.





You are right, not much info about Freemasonry below.





We are a social fraternity that studies morality through ritual, symbol and allegory. Our main tenets are faith, hope and charity and we provide more charity than any other group on the planet.





to some others:





Tribe- knows nothing about freemasonry, there is no master magician (or any kind of magician) in freemasonry





* freemasonry is not a cult





* chick.com is typical of uninformed anti-mason propganda





* interesting story from Bro Dan, that's all it is though
Reply:Check out:





Freemasons for Dummies by Chris Hodapp and Idiot's Guide to Freemasonry by Brent Morris.





Both books are written by Freemasons - while they contain no "secrets" they do offer a lot of good information to Masons and non-masons alike.





Sorry to hear of your Grandfather's passing Report It

Reply:Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation that arose from obscure origins in the late 16th to early 17th century. Freemasonry now exists in various forms all over the world, with a membership estimated at around 5 million, with around 480,000 in England, Scotland and Ireland alone, and just under two million in the United States. The various forms all share moral and metaphysical ideals, which include, in most cases, a constitutional declaration of belief in a Supreme Being.





The fraternity is administratively organised into Grand Lodges (or sometimes Orients), each of which governs its own jurisdiction, which consists of subordinate (or constituent) Lodges. Grand Lodges recognise each other through a process of landmarks and regularity. There are also appendant bodies, which are organisations related to the main branch of Freemasonry, but with their own independent administration.








To learn more, you can look for a Lodge in your area and speak to someone there. If you're male, you may even discuss joining their organization (if you're female, your father [if you're unwed] or your husband will have to join, and you'll assist other daughters/wives).
Reply:The freemasons were a secret society (which is why your grandad couldn't tell you anything). Freemasonry is still in existence, but back in the 1700s it was mostly a brotherhood of diests (not necessarily a personal savior belief). It was big on constitutional rights, including freedom to worship, but served practically as a mens retreat in which they swore loyalty and patriotism but also sat around and smoked or played games or competed in organized elements like chess or wrestling or whatever...





I think it was basically a mens club that incorporated politics and religion.
Reply:They are the least expensive stone cutters.





In reality the Masons are simply a fraternal organization that actually provide allot of charity for children hospitals all over the country.





They have their secret ceremonies that seem weird to us because we don't practice them, but in reality all ceremonies seem weird if you aren't familiar to them. Imagine drinking the blood of your god to remember him?





I suggest going to a local lodge and getting to know some of the old fellas there. Masons, unlike Christians aren't allowed to ask you to join them, you must approach them.
Reply:Remember when you were a kid, and you had your "fort" and you had to do the initiation, and then you got a secret knock, password, or handshake... all that cool stuff, then you just kinda hung out.





The freemasons were on TV explaining exactly what the whole thing is. They're that "fort". And they don't accept atheists or agnostics, you have to be part of a legitimate religion. So the fact that to get in you HAVE to believe in one of the religions, that includes possibly being a Christian, it doesn't make sense that they would be satanic if believing in and following Jesus could be one of the requirements to get in.
Reply:Contrary to Y/A belief not all Masons are old geezers. Of the Masons that I know a couple are younger and quite hot.





They are now very similar to a fraternity/lodge many families will have the men in the Masons. Like it's been suggested-do a search-there's a ton of interesting information on the Masons.





BTW-The Masonic Temple in DC is beautiful. Fabulous architecture.
Reply:"Witchcraft."





"Only most of them have government jobs, from the military,


to appointed justices, to elected officials; (yes, 'the VERY


ELECT'), professors, doctors, lawyers, barbers, some are


store owners, even pimps."





"The highest degree, is 'the Master Magician'."





"The Fate of the Master Magician, is written inside the Book


of Revelations, as 'the BOTTOMLESS PIT'."
Reply:The story is like this. When the Knights Templar came to the Holy Land, they discovered a different Jesus. Jesus did not die on the cross, and he married Magdalene. Mary was pregnant and she went to Europe to escape their enemies. Her womb (the grail) had the bloodline of Jesus (sangre real). This bloodline had descendants who were considered to be king of kings all over Europe but they never went public. Their antagonists were the apostle Paul and, later, the Roman pontiff. To them, Paul was a Roman spy who penetrated the early Church to convert it into a Roman tool of influence. The Knights Templar were destroyed by the Pope but secret societies followed in their footsteps. The Freemasons are among these societies.
Reply:I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.





They used to be a group of freethinkers that were heavily involved in the Enlightenment. There's all sorts of conspiracy theories about them. They're not all that involved in anything anymore, unless you think the John Birchers know something everyone else doesn't.





Edit: OOOOO look, we just got a visit from the Thumbs Down Fairy! Isn't she UGLY?
Reply:They are a fraternity. If you want to hang with a bunch of old guys and wear silly hats and aprons, it's for you.





Google it and you can find the whole ritual on line even though it is supposed to be this big secret. It's pretty silly if you ask me.
Reply:A 5-second google search of 'freemasons' will get you PAGES of info without the need to ask US. Try it. If it doesn't work for you, then come back and ask again. Results guaranteed or your time back.
Reply:Click on this link :http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0093... it will give you an in depth look at freemasons (Masonry) and what it's all about.
Reply:Why are there so many questions every week on this subject. Once and for all, Freemasonry has nothing to do with either religion or spirituality.
Reply:Actually freemasonry has religious characteristics and recieves a tax break for it in California.
Reply:The flower has a demon in it. Throw it away.

i agree with poo bear fan, the flowers are directing everyone to look at your boobs! Dress is wonderful though!!! Why buy fresh flowers when you only use them for one day, girl go to Michael's or any craft store and have them make your arrangements, my girlfriend did that, cost of flowers went from $800 for fresh to $175!
Reply:I am getting my flowers from http://theflowerexchange.com and making my own bouquets and arrangements.


Most flowers are around $8 a bunch, some less or more depending on the type.





EDIT: The dress is gorgeous =]
Reply:the dress is really pretty however the flowers at the top would add to much attention to the breast area would ask if flowers could be removed or smaller ones put on there

Planting other plants over tulip bed?

Since tulips only bloom in the spring, they will leave the patch looking barren during the summer? If so, can anything be planted over the tulip bed while ensuring the bulbs are intact for next year? Also, I read that tulip beds should be accompanied by something like forget me not but if the tulips are dead then wont that look awkward?? Any help is appreciated. By the way, I am in NJ - zone 6.

Planting other plants over tulip bed?
We plant tulips and daffodils together ....then let them die down ( they can't be cut back because they use the stem to store food for the next year) After the stalks have died down I plant annuals....usually nasturtiums.
Reply:I have always wondered the same thing. What I do is wait until the entire tulip dies back, remove all the dead foliage then I put a large potted container of flowers over the area to fill the void. I have also planted flowers near the tulips that will vine and spread over the area, such as creeping jenny. Good luck, will be watching to see what other answers you get.
Reply:that depends on if you want the same plants every year... you can put down petunias after the tulips die down.. but they wont come back every year... dont put down anything like hostas.. or anything like that because they will come back and take over...you can always put down flowers that will die off at the end of the year... and then you can change them every year.. and keep your tulips intact. good luck!
Reply:What you do is tie the tulip leaves in a loose knot and plant annuals in front of them

Okay i seriosly need help on my science project?

Okay my science project is I water, water, coffee, and soda to a forget me not (flower) every two days (1/4 cup) and see which one grows faster!!!!


i have no idea what i did wrong maybe water it to much (idk)


but its not growing!!!


HELP!!!

Okay i seriosly need help on my science project?
What you need to do is remember that as long as you can explain what happened, you didn't "get it wrong".


Write up your data and present your conclusions. None of them grew because:


1) I watered them too much. Site source like where the plant lives and the annual rainfall for that area (BTW did you use the orange or the yellow, doesn't matter, just wondering)


2) The lighting in your environment was off some how.


3) You didn't know , but the water you were using was contaminated with acid or something making all the trials the same


Think up something and stick to it.





If the experiment is still going, decrease watering and make note of it in your conclusion.


Did you do some background on this plant before you started. If you didn't , DO IT NOW and put that in there.


PLEAsE answer!!!!?

Oi, peoples, I know this question is asked entirely too much, but please help. I like the screennames like forget me not and stuff. I also am sorta emo and LOVE rock music. HELPPP??? please

Old country music.I found the lyrics?

I found the lyrics to an old country song, forget-me-nots, but i cant find who sang this one.i remember it from yrs back .can you all help.. partial lyrics are as fallows. .In a town in Tennessee, an old man reaches


For a torn and tattered book upon a shelf


He takes it down and opens to


Some pressed forget-me-nots so blue


And he reads her tear-stained letters to himself





Forget me not, regret me not, my darling


I’ll be yours, as long as these blossoms stay true blue


And if our love this meant too bloom, I’ll be back to you real soon

I'm wanting to get a girl a like flowers, what kind should i get?

should i get roses, yellow chrysanthemums, forget-me-not flowers, yellow tulips, or orchids?


i know i'm gonna surprise her with flowers, no she's not my girlfriend, and i don't know if she still likes me or not....could you help out at all? it would be greatly appreiciated.

I'm wanting to get a girl a like flowers, what kind should i get?
Definately go with tulips. They don't have the romantic connotation while being good flowers too. If you know what flowers are her favorites, get those and act all surprised when she says they're her favorite. Good times...
Reply:orchids or chrysanthemums for sure!





good luck


; }
Reply:well red roses if u think she likes u.


yellow roses mean friendship.


and roses like 2 dozen of them. fresh roses alwys always r the best best way man. trust me i want a man too, who gives me roses
Reply:it depends what they are for...if it is for romantic purposes i'd say go for red roses, for anything else either iris's or orchids or her favourite type!
Reply:Personally, I wouldn't go with roses. They just seem to be common when getting flowers. Go with something different. I like the forget-me-nots or the tulips. Or go with a bunch of different flowers.
Reply:If you can't decide, get them all! All girls love flowers, and she'll think something of you, even if she doesn't like you.
Reply:Red roses are very, very classical and romantic! But I love tulips, it depends on what she likes more! I would say if you really like her get her the roses, that will make her surprised for sure! :)
Reply:Those are all pretty good flowers. I think that the best thing to do is to ask one of her friends what her favorite flowers are. That way, you can decide much easier =).
Reply:White and pink roses


it means Peace and admiration ...
Reply:save the flowers for valentines day... just take her out for dinner
Reply:I would get her a mix of flowers... unless you know that she likes a particular kind. That way you cover your bases, and the arrangement is pretty and interesting!
Reply:Seriously, never buy a girl flowers if she isn't already yours. That shows you are the weak one who is begging for her attention. Once you go out on a date get her a flower. Right now just be cool and confident. Flowers make you seem unimaginative and needy.

I'm considering getting a tattoo on my wrist. Has anyone gotten one there? Do you regret it or like it?

What I intend to get is the words "VERY MUCH ALIVE" with a small forget me not flower underneath, but I can't decide where. I'm not worried about it showing. That wouldn't be one of my concerns. So what do you think of the wrist? Also open to other suggestions for good spots for girls.

I'm considering getting a tattoo on my wrist. Has anyone gotten one there? Do you regret it or like it?
I have one on my inner wrist, Its my daughters birthdate with stars separating the numbers. Its not huge, but its not small either. I love it. Im also 25 and a SAHM, so I dont have to worry about it being visable. If you plan on eventually having a job where tattoo's are taboo, it might not be a good spot.
Reply:I have a tattoo on my wrist!! Its really no different than wearing a bracelet!(except a tattoo you can never take it off)
Reply:I have a full sleeve, my last tattoo extends down my wrist and almost onto my hand. I love my tattoos, but regret getting anything on my wrists. Its always visible and harder to cover with long sleeves..





Also, what do you do for work? what WILL you do for work? These should all factor in as to how far down on your arm a tattoo goes.





Do you want to be in your 20s with a wrist tattoo? or do you want to be in your 60s with a wrist tattoo?





I have "Stay Gold" on mine, and I can guarantee that when I'm 50, it won't be too gold anymore.
Reply:you should never get a tattoo that can not be covered up by business casual
Reply:That's going to look silly at your funeral some day...
Reply:nice place. i just got one on my inner right wrist of my gf's initials. its definately gonna show most of the time, but if thats what you want and you dont mind that, go for it. youll get alot of questions about it since it sticks out. but i love tattoos on that part of the body. means you have no shame in what you beleive in ;]
Reply:I dunno about the wrists, i like tattoos alot and never tell people not to get them, thats stupid. i think the wrist would be a good spot if you dont plan on having a job that dont allow tattoos to be showing. go for it if you dont have/plan on having a job like that
Reply:I have a little one on the inside of my wrist. I don't regret it AT ALL. I think it's sort of sexy because it's not OUT THERE. You kinda have to get close to see it. (mine is on the INSIDE of my wrist).......





Some other cool places for girls are.. the back of the neck, hip area, ankle, and.... yup. that's about it. If you want one on the lower back just be prepared for people to refer to it as a "tramp stamp" . haha... =)

Reply:my sons' initials are tattooed on the inside of my left wrist. i love it becuase it's the only tat that i have that's easily visiable. it's a daily reminder of why i work so hard to succeed.
Reply:I got one just last week on the inside of my left wrist, it's the zodiac sign of my starsign 'Capricorn'. It hurt a little when getting it done, but just a scratchy kinda feeling. The adrenaline cancels out the pain. I love my new tattoo and don't regret it one bit. It's my tag. I swore to all that it would be my first and last, but now i really want another one. I'm thinking a ribbon on the back of my neck! I probably will, but it definately be the last.......


Good luck with getting yours done, I hope you like it.
Reply:I know someone who did. He has to wear long sleeves at work even when it was really hot to cover them or he would be written up or fired. At the time he didn't care because his company let him.





That is a very nice idea for a tat. I would put that by the hip bone on the line of you pants. So you have to slid it down just a little to show anyone. It has a hot appeal and can be your secret if needed.
Reply:both my wrist are done, they didnt hurt, and i dont regret it at all

What is it about Bush & Company that makes both George and his corporate cronies so hamhanded about ethics?

Take Bush's recent attempt to shove Michael Baroody into the charimanship of the Consumer Products Safety Commission. This watchdog agency is supposed to protect the public from manufacturers who make shoddy products that harm or kill people. So – is Baroody a noted consumer advocate?





Hardly! He's the top lobbyist for the National Association of Manufacturers! Yes, he represents the very makers of the dangerous and deadly products the agency is supposed to guard against. With this appointment, Bush was not merely putting the fox in the henhouse – he was trying to deliver the hens directly to the fox's den!





To make this obvious conflict of interest even stinkier, the NAM came up with an under-the-table scheme to subsidize Baroody's salary at the consumer agency, promising to hand him a forget-me-not of $150,000. The Bushites knew about this payment – yet saw nothing even slightly unethical about it.

What is it about Bush %26amp; Company that makes both George and his corporate cronies so hamhanded about ethics?
The biggest problem is that Bush is just plain stupid. He has also surrounded himself with advisers who, like him, live in the corporate world of fantasy.


As Ron White once said, you can get knees replaced, hearing aids for deafness, surgery for vision, etc., but "You Can't Fix Stupid."
Reply:They're on a "mission from God"
Reply:I've been gravely disappointed by this administration. However, when you focus on them entirely, your bias shows through. Previous administrations, particularly Clinton, Carter, and Nixon, have had far more ethical questions raised about their cabinet members and other admin. officials. Try not to be so one-sided.
Reply:They're not as bad as the Clintons, though. Sometimes things fall through the cracks.


A poem by myself, tell me what you think!?

Forget Me Not





If I told you a tale woven with pearls, Would you wonder of how it came to be? If you were to ask, I would tell you this...


A lady of the wood lived within a whitened willow.


She a prisoner of her soul wore a single flower. The flower of sorrow. She lay in her tree and thinketh of something that might have been.


As she slept within in a dream on warm summer's eve,


She found herself looking upon a familiar sight.


A far away dream within a dream....Faded, yet passionate.


A deserted hope of a once renewed power of Promise,


The Promise of an eternal bond of sweet passion,


Once found within a heart of the blossoming flower of sorrow,


This Promise found through a premonition of forbidden freedom. Within a hope of a dream,


She woke to find her bonds forever cut with the razor of forgiving love.


A love that scars the face of deceit and smashes a prison of clear molten glass. And within the same night,


She left her willow to find the lost dream


by Lauren Edwards

A poem by myself, tell me what you think!?

My boyfriend and I broke up when I left for college. We attempted the long distance thing, but the relationship caved underneath the stress of trying to keep the bond when your 400 miles apart. I'm tired of hearing give it time, things will get better. I've got plenty to handle, to distract me from thoughts of him. I go out, I concentrate on my studies, I participate in clubs, and activities with friends. But it's only a temporary solution. 18 months is ample time for something like this to heal... and things may have gotten a little better, but the pain still lurks in the shadows. I've accepted that it's over, that we can never again be, and that its actually for the best. But I still have feelings of love... and some of hate. I hate him b/c I can't forget him, like he's forgotten me. Not a day goes by that he still doesnt cross my mind. Why is it that he so easily has moved on, but yet I'm stuck? How do I finally release this love thats long gone? How do I let go of my first love?

It's been a year and six months... why can't I let go?
Do you have any items that remind you of him? Put them away and in a box, and keep them as far out of reach as possible.


Do you still talk to him? It's much easier if you don't.





It sounds like you're still in love with him, even if you don't want to be. You can do the things above, and more. Seperate him from your life. If you don't see him or his things, it's less likely that you'll think about him, and the bond will wear down faster.





Another thing you can do is take a peice of paper and write down all of the things you liked about the relationship on one side, and on the other, all the things you didn't like. Everything about that relationship on this one peice of paper. Then, rip it up into little peices and throw them in the trash (or recycle bin). Think about the good times and the bad times while you get rid of the peice of paper. As soon as every peice of this paper is gone from you and your hands, think, "it's not going to bother me anymore". "I am perfectly fine without him -- it was good while it could be good, and I will take the good times and make them better for my next love" You don't have to say that exactilly, but something along those lines. It's more psychological than anything, but it might help you move on.





Hope all of that helped. (:
Reply:you will never completely get over your first love. he will always be in the back of your head and you will compare other men to him. he changed your life he had an impact. and thats ok. one day you will find the right person for you and you will be able to look back on your past fondly and remember that he helped make you who you are he helped you get ready for your real true love
Reply:When you find out tell me..........
Reply:There isn't a lot more you can do except what you're doing...I know you hate hearing this but only time can heal these wounds so keep doing things to get your mind off him and soon enough one day he'll just be gone from your mind
Reply:I am really sorry to say this, but I don't think that you ever really totally get over your first love. It fades a bit, and then some more...you move on...but he is the one that started the ball rolling, the one who got in before you knew to defend your heart. He will always pop into your thoughts from time to time, even when you truly have moved on and love someone else.





I don't know if this holds true for men and their first loves, but most women seem to have this problem. Can't be helped. But time does help and you will love other people. Just differently. Which is a good thing. And he will just be a fond memory
Reply:Time...
Reply:it doesn't matter if it's ten years, if you choose not to let go, you won't. you say that you've let go, but deep inside you still haven't decided that. you try to convince yourself, but you know you're fooling yourself. YOU HAVE TO DECIDE TO LET GO. if you're somehow hoping things will go back to before, you're not helping yourself.
Reply:Its about time yes. But not for you to time it. Depending on how much u were attached to the person it would definetely take time for u to be over it. Realise also that u will always know u loved him deeply even if u are no longer in love with him. That particular attachment cannot just be ripped off and uve got to face it.


With time everything will be fine. I know u hate that by now but no way out.





It will be okay. Keep on focusing on other things other than him. Because otherwise u will remain stuck. He has moved on probably because he is not thinking of what u are thinking of him but u keep him in your mind by wondering how has he managed/ didnt he love me the same way? is he happy where he is? I hate him or love him? THAT WAY YOUR FOCUS IS STILL ON HIM.


ONLY DIFFERENTLY.


U are the only one who can make that change








All the best
Reply:You need to move on before you can 4get, him trust me the same thing happened to me, the reason you still have feelings for him is because you guys could have been together if you lived closer. Simple as that you mind plays tricks and says what if
Reply:Why do think he's just moved on and never thinks about you?? The reason you can't let go is bc like you said you still have anger toward him. You have to let that go and see that everything happens for a reason. You said it was for the best so you must see that. Something I think your missing is that you can't cover something up forever and not deal with it. You say that you do this and that but have you ever just sat down and dealt with it? Your life doesn't sound that bad. You will have to deal with the past before you even begin to look at the future. Just take it one step at a time. Find a friend who understands and will be there.
Reply:ive been through this. the thing is people try to stop loving so it hurts.once you open your heart to another there is no going back. try accepting the new distance and keep on loving them.


it only appears easy for him,let me tell you; as a guy, it usually takes men longer than even they know to get over a relationship.


we are masters of the mask! hope this finds you well!!


Where to get a custom flower arrangement?

I'm not going for looks so much, but as thought behind it as these are her favorite flowers, and from any of the online flower places (1800, ftd, etc) they are only sold as pre-set arrangements. Would a local florist be able to provide me with some random flowers for me to arrange myself, or do they always sell pre-set arrangements?





I'm going for:





Forget me Not


Tulips


Orchids


Lily of the Valley





Are these common enough to find at any florist, or are these out of line?

Where to get a custom flower arrangement?
Contact your local florist,


they will be able to order these flowers for you in any amount.


just be prepared to pay. Try your local green houses and your large grocery stores, most have a flower section

Name this band and song?

Born in the flood


bloody fingerpaint sets


blackmarketed fresh


water canons forget me not


epitaph airbrush with death


white tee's


wife beaters


button up


reattach flesh





in between the lines


outside of the law


underneath the veil


we dig our foundations


we navigate the globe


trying to find a pattern to break the mold


with a family to feed


theres nowhere we wont go





but what if were caught


they say I'm a snitch


shot at the check point


found with his throat slit





theres spray paint on the teleprompter


anchorman screams that hes seen a monster


[mayday]


theres bloodstains on his shirt


[mayday]


they say that hes gone berserk





sometimes


when I wanna shut out this world


wanna rip up this page


wanna pour out this heart


wanna get up on this stage


and my lips become percussion


and my fists become the rage


and I pound on this table


til it gives me something to say


then I think about things that Ive seen


right in front of me


that I dont wanna believe


gimme one of these mikes


let me let em know


the way that it is is not how its gonna be


not if we dont let em get ahead of us


the present tensions no threat


its just a fence across the path


that were already ready to walk


rock solid footsteps


letem put up obstacles


and prove that it isnt possible


**** that


we dont give in anyway


true liberty and freedoms at stake


peace will never become pass


live my life until my last day





it was half-past eight in the bat cave


when the cracks in the plaster collapsed


and gave way to gaps in the pavement


mayday mayday


put it on blast


for the passengers and messengers


cause this is a disaster


where the **** are the rescue workers


not far


off pissing on a cop car


in the hall with a poptart


sipping liquor in the rockbar


everyone climb to the frontline


lunchtimes cancelled


all hands on deck to pull survivors from the landfill


onlookers passers-by brush of your shoulders


shake off that rubble


break free from your standstill





signs of a better world


causes we understand


failures we expected to occur


and bring redemption for our sins


safety from the crowds


in the shadows on the run


we write our own cider house


rules to keep alive


rituals that prove their worth


search for systems we can trust


rhythms we can lock into





this is madness salvage teams


can't bandage


hope when its damaged


or broken compassion


not enough rope in the van when


world is collapsing


our mode of action


broadcast through the glass


all we can manage


donate with the plastic


scraps from the salad


hoping to balance


emotions invalidated


and staged on 4:3 aspects


just ballast for sadness


lives shattered are standard


fare for cameras and channels


stare no abracabras





no faster answers


or mantras for disasters


remastered and plastered


we got it all backwards


do you know the faction your backing


its another man down


another mother gone


child drowned


another silenced song


solitude


another kind of strong


I miss you


another strung along


missing in action


another page is blackend burned


turned to ashes to ashes


dust off the flags and the caskets





we will never find another you


despite the life of love we knew


these lightning times are trouble who


cant count the strikes that punished through


the bonds we thought would never break


and never will and never change and never fade


but there is the rage


of losing you to their mistakes





in between the lines


signs of a the next movement


refuge from the crowd


outside of the law


causes we understand


hands that trace


instructions for descendants in the


shadows on the run


underneath the veil


failures we expected to


occur and bring redemption for our sins


in between the lines

How bad will these types of flowers spread?

I bought a bag of Butterfly %26amp; Hummingbird Attracting flower seeds. What I would like someone to tell me is if these are the types of flowers that will spread all over my (and my neighboors') yard. Here's the seeds:





Baby's Breath


Zinnia


Chinese Forget Me Not


Bachelor Button


Cosmos Sensation


Candytuft


Shasta Daisy


Black-Eyed Susat


Alyssum


Scarlet Sage


Foxglove





Also, are these flowers ones that will come back year after year?

How bad will these types of flowers spread?
Cosmos are self re seeding and will spread , Black eyed susan will spread. What zone are you in? This will determine if they are considered hardy in your zone. Tender perennials are plants that in Southern zones are usually hardy, but in more temperate climates will only be annual. Foxglove, Forget me nots, and Baby's Breath(Gypsophilia) are generally perennials in all zones.You will have Cosmos re seeding every year, but not the same plants coming back.Black Eyed Susan can become a nuisance, seeding itself every where, becoming invasive.
Reply:Bachelor buttons spread to a degree, but they're not that invasive. The others are all fine. The zinna, cosos, candytuft, alyssum will last one year. The foxglove, bachelor button, daisy and black eyed susan should come back. I'm not sure about the scarlet sage or chinese forget-me-not, I don't recognize their names as flowers that I have seen or planted.I think your butterfly garden is pretty safe not to get out of control.
Reply:The foxgloves are biennials - they make a plant the first year amn may not flower until the next. then they will seed and new plants will appear in surprising places, but they are easy to pull out if you don't want them. Cant tell you awhat the others will do as it could depend on where you live.
Reply:some will depend on your Zone and how good your ground is. My last place I culdnt get Cosmos to grow,here it self seeds all over the place Forget me nots will also take over by slef seeding if its happy and Black eyed Susan is a perennial that spreads both by self seeding and by spreading by runners. Never grew Baby's Breath...Zinna like to self seed, as do bachelors buttons and daisys Foxgloves have to really like their soil to ..
Reply:Naa, won't spread. Not absolutely positive, but they all sound like annuals - - this year only unless you save seeds for next year. They will create seeds. If have concerns, pluck off the dead flowers %26amp; dispose of them or save seeds for next year. If saving seeds, make sure they are thoroughly dried out, zip lock bag %26amp; label with marker what is in it %26amp; what color.





The best thing I ever did was buy a perennial book for plants, trees, flowers that return each year. Then periodically I add annual seeds of different flowers in front %26amp; around my permanent plantings. I marked each item in that book for my zone. I can not pick %26amp; choose for sun/shade, height, color and when %26amp; how long they bloom. I also created my yard on a graph paper with each square as a foot. This helped over the years for fencing, plantings, fountain, etc... Each perennial I marked a number on my 'blueprint' and the explanation of its name, etc.. on the back for future use.





Lot of work, but it reduces remeasuring over the years and moving some plants again and again.





I got myself on a catalog mailing list through Gurney's, Burbee's, etc... which allowwed additional options other than what is being sold in my city only. Prices was cheaper, too.


What do you imagine when you hear the word "love"?

I need symbols or objects such as hearts or forget-me-not flower. plz help

I like the Penelope or Audrey shoe clip better than the anklet.

Major English Assignment no. 3: The Sonnet.?

Rolling grasslands swept by lazy breezes,


Afternoon sun silhouettes Cinnamon,


Pollinated respite, coughs and sneezes,


Assuaged by some lotion and liniment,





Forget-me-not petals, even numbered,


On far away pond, canoe awaits us,


Paddling gently, breathe unencumbered,


Tailwind urges along without compass,





Storm clouds on horizon black with anger,


Our lunchtime picnic’s has gone asunder,


Hurry back to the shore, back to Bangor,


Feeling the fury’s lightning and thunder,





Next time we’ll have lunch inside, where it’s dry,


And then for desert, deep dish apple pie…

Major English Assignment no. 3: The Sonnet.?

The silver stream from the day’s snow melt


Swells and washes its banks

28 years old & getting grief about my relationship from my mum.?

My partner of 4 yrs %26amp; I are currently on a break, his dad recently died %26amp; he is taking some time to clear his head %26amp; get some space. For the past 6 weeks we have taken a large step back %26amp; hardly seen each other. I dont really understand how he is feeling (I have never lost a parent) %26amp; he reacts differently to things than I do.


The trouble is, not only am I trying to deal with us being on "a break" which is hard (I really miss him %26amp; am scared that he will get over me %26amp; forget me %26amp; not come back) but my mum keeps on telling me how he is being selfish, cruel, wrong towards me %26amp; I should end things. As soon as I get to grips with why he needs time %26amp; feel reassured she bowls in and makes me feel all wobbly again. I have tried to explain to her that its not helpful to me or the situation to have her be so negative. She says that she cannot and will not understand him. the whole situation is just getting too much. Plus I live with my mum (still) so cannot walk away

28 years old %26amp; getting grief about my relationship from my mum.?
oh no what a difficult situation! well its understandable that your partners head is messed up at the moment and he may have 'gone off the rails' but given time and space i am sure he will come back to you when he is ready, once hes sorted his head out a little (you and him probably wouldnt be any good around each other at the moment anyway, especially as you cannot understand him. many people just need their space and some time). your mum should definitely not be saying things like that to you, she hasnt tried to put herself in his shoes at all. its a shame you still live with your mum as i was going to suggest not seeing her for a while as she is doing more harm than good. but as you cant you must try to let the things she says to you go straight over your head and dont encourage her but replying and b*tching with her about your partner, although that is hard in your position but she might start to get the hint. remember that 6 weeks isnt a long time and its not that he is running away from the relationship/ you -its something awful and something that he must deal with on his own in his own way. i am sure your mother would still be saying the same sort of things if he was still around as he would still upset you because of all the stress he is under, so try to point that out and that it is probably best for you both that you are not together at this difficult time. when he feels a bit better, when he needs you, he will be back x x
Reply:go and die u asswholes Report It

Reply:That's tough.


I know when we're in relationships it's easy to share things about what's going on in it. So, your mother feels she can share her opinion about it. I recommend putting your foot down now (as politely as possible, of course, considering the living arrangements), letting her know, pretty much like you have, that "this area of your life is NOT open for discussion". AND by all means, do "walk away", leave the room, take a walk, when/if she does continue even though you've made yourself clear about this...again. Stick to this plan and eventually she will tire of bringing it up and you leaving the room. She only continues because you are making it a discussion...refuse to discuss it or even listen to her discuss it, by walking away.





On the other hand, I don't exactly know what your partner is thinking. You've been together awhile. Maybe this face with dying and death has really changed his perspective on what he'd been doing with his life....that includes his relationship with you apparently.





If he has not kept in touch in the past couple months, that isn't a good sign. IF he is, at least, trying to "check in" once in awhile, then yes, perhaps there is still hope.





I wouldn't wait more than another couple months though...it's up to you, of course, but you deserve total honesty here. You deserve to know what's happening to this relationship---it's your life too.





I would think he should be getting some grief counselling by now if he is still not handling it well enough to be able to communicate openly with his partner of 4 years. THEN he and your relationship could benefit from that.





Good luck and take care.
Reply:when you said "Still "you answrd your own question.
Reply:It's a hard situation ... I think you're probably going to have to sit down with your mum and tell her that your 28 years old, you have your own thoughts and actions now and they do not have to be approved by her, but the least you expect is her support .... she does not have to understand his way of thinking, but she could at least be there for you and offer you a shoulder without passing comment.





Whatever happens for you hun, I really hope it works out for the best.
Reply:Why don't you confront your boyfriend and tell him to end the break? If you're really important to him, then he should understand. In some ways, I do think he is being selfish, because he's hurting the people around him.





Anyways, I don't understand why he had to have a 6 week break from you... if anything, after losing a parent he should become more dependent on your support.





Talk to your boyfriend, because obviously, the break can't last any longer, or else something's going to give.





Good Luck!
Reply:Firstly, your mum. Good ol' Mum. She is being a bit of a pain but she has your best interests at heart. However, I think she has a point. Your partner is excluding you from a major event in his life which he feels unable (or does not wish) to share with you. This does seem unkind.


My father died of cancer when I was 22. It was a long slow death and horrible to witness. I would have welcomed a partner to comfort me and help me through grieving. But that's me. I'm not your bf.


If you want the relationship to resume (and it sounds like you do) then I think after 6 weeks you are justified in contacting him to find out if you still both want the same things.


Good luck!
Reply:I'd say 6 weeks is a rather long time to clear one's head. hmmm...go with mama!
Reply:I'm sorry but your mum is wrong, your partner is not being cruel or selfish by wanting alone time to deal with the death of a parent. You're 28 years old tell your mother to mind her own business!





But from experience I will own up to say that I watched my father slowly die from Cancer, I was in a relationship at the time and I broke up with my partner because I couldn't deal with a relationship at the same time...
Reply:I left home at 28 (for the third time!). My mum elbowed me out gently about 2 years after we lost my dad as she said I should have a chance to live my own life and not live through hers. Unless you are very happy living at home(which it seems you are not) then it may be time for you to find your own space which will give you time to think on a clear head also. My mother gave me a life, but it seems that you are being prevented from having one. You cannot be dictated to forever as I'm sure your mother would not be. You have to make your own choices in life and no-one can tell you whether they are right or wrong. Only time will tell. You have to give your partner his space as he has asked for it but simply let him know that you are there for him if he needs you, as all people react differently to a death in the family but it is never easy. Whatever the end result is, I wish you good luck.

For help with childcare costs apply for working parents tax credit as they can pay up to the full amount of this for you if you are a single working mother. Also, look for further advice from social services (I know it sounds drastic but they are human and can actually be talked to and sometimes even give out good advice). There are many organisations out there who are willing to help people who want to help themselves.
Reply:I suggest you speak to your man asap find out what he is up to i would want the support of my partner like most in that situation,they say the truth hurts,. but your still your mum's baby and always will be she wants what's best for you.when you decide how long you can stay " waiting"You need to sit your mum down and talk to her calmly and explain to her that as much as you love her and understand her feelings it is your LIFE not hers you need her support not criticism. good luck

I am 28 and my mum is giving me grief about my partner!?

My partner of 4 yrs %26amp; I are currently on a break (see my previous Q) his dad recently died and he is taking some time to clear his head %26amp; get some space. For the past 6 weeks we have taken a large step back %26amp; hardly seen each other. I dont really understand how he is feeling (I have never lost a parent) %26amp; he reacts differently to things than I do.


The trouble is, not only am I trying to deal with us being on "a break" which is hard (I really miss him %26amp; am scared that he will get over me %26amp; forget me %26amp; not come back) but my mum keeps on telling me how he is being selfish, cruel, wrong towards me %26amp; I should end things. As soon as I get to grips with why he needs time %26amp; feel reassured she bowls in and makes me feel all wobbly again. I have tried to explain to her that its not helpful to me or the situation to have her be so negative. She says that she cannot and will not understand him. the whole situation is just getting too much. Plus I live with my mum (still) so cannot walk away

I am 28 and my mum is giving me grief about my partner!?
sorry girl but i've just got to ask, what on earth are you still doing living at home? no wonder your mum thinks she's entitled to have an opinion in your personal relationships,i'm really sorry but i've just got to tell you how it is: 1 find your own place and move out.(you've been wiyh your boyfriend for 4 years and if you were living together he wouldn't find the need to have a break from you because you would be showing some maturity and he would know he could relly on you,plus your mum wouldn't be interfering. 2 stop feeling sorry for yourself, he's the 1 tha's just lost a parent so show him some support by refusing to have a break, show him how much he means to you by being there, by listening by letting him know you don't have to of lost a parent to understand how he is feeling or what he must be going thru, by staying positive in the moments of need, by picking him up when he's down, by making him realize that he should remember the good things that him and his dad shared instead of what ifs, by showing him what he's got to live for. good luck.
Reply:I can see how this would be unnerving, but remember your Mom loves you and wants good thing for you and that is why she is doing this.





I think you are way too old to be living with her for this very reason. Her natural instinct is to take care of her offspring - she is not able to leave you alone just because you are 28. So if you don't want to hear her opinion about it everyday, you need your own place. Tell her you love her and you'll live nearby and visit often! But your lives should be separate - she cant just stop acting like a mom! It's not fair for you to expect her to.
