We're all so confused,
But always amused.
The antics of all,
Think!, the capital of Nepal?
Now aren't we bemused?



There are threads in this forum,
No ways can we bore 'em.
On topic, off topic,
From the pole to the tropic.
But each and everyone, a gem....


Well done all .......

On second thought, yes you can. I have GOT to clean out that garage.

Stuff is so fun when you get it,
But the fun last only a minute.
You trip over crap,
And it falls in you lap.
Till you life is controlled by the s***.

That episode so convicted me!
Fast forward 9-10 years... and where is all of my stuff? In boxes! Big heavy ones! Boxes that I keep having to move around every time my husband wants to work on a certain area of our barn! I think that is my main source of exercise-- moving boxes from room to room, two floors up, one floor down and back again. If I didn't still have some small hope that we would someday have finished rooms and walls to decorate, they would all be garage-saled (except that we don't have a garage) all except the treasured photos. Seven years later and I still have my hope. So, 'til then I'll be moving big boxes of stuff! (I do like my stuff, but I'd enjoy it a whole lot more, well, not in a box!)

Now back to the subject... I think I could write an epic limerick about my life in a barn! In fact I think it could be rather healing, since I lost my sense of humor over this project about five years into it.

Seems obvious to me! And I like RSE (RED)'s limerick. Gotta clean my garage as soon as my 4 day holiday weekend is over. Next Tuesday or so!

Oh, is THAT what the "barn" in your name is about! (do you also spell it "born" sometimes? the fact that you've watched Veggie Tales makes me ask)
Care to tell us about the barn story? Or have you already, and I missed it?

Yes, you can insert born in place of barn, just as well. I sort of intended that, since you ask. My license plates say "REBARN 1" with the same double meaning.

It's a long one!
From my profile I'm a displaced city dweller (think Green Acres) living in a barn under, well... transformation, homeschooling my daughter.
From a different thread I am just now getting a floor built downstairs (main level). It's been mostly dirt and cracked, uneven concrete, all this time. We live on the 2nd level with plywood floors and unfinished drywall. It's been an adventure and an exercise in patience!
Maybe that's why I like MobileRead so much, it's a wonderful escape from reality, (from one psock to panother!! )

Here's a few pics. I should put together an album on my profile page.

mom's doing a rebarn construction
and often it's caused some obstruction.
City life is now gone,
country grass newly mown;
inspiration for daughter's instruction.

V-cat had a birthday today
but she works while her boss is away.
For fifteen days straight
she works and she waits.
Then she'll have her own grand holiday.

bad-good-Deb is a kindly young lass
with a heart likely made out of glass.
Alter ego is strong.
Better never do wrong,
