Friends         | This venue is my way to reach out and stay in touch with friends. Hopefully, with the grace of luck and some harmless trickery, I might be able to make some new ones. I have recently rekindled a love I thought was lost a long ago - and that is writing. For reasons I do not know, it has sprung back with a fury and a vengeance. I am grateful to all who have taken the time to read my autobiographical short stories. These are stories which capture the love and the humor for which I grew up in. I write these stories as a testament to my parents but I share them with you, my dear friends. I have little concern for what your ethnic, cultural or spiritual background is. You will not be judged for anything more than your ability to be a human being with a grand soul. If you can't be a human being - if your purpose is to cause pain and discord - then I will come at you like a rabid badger. Diversification is fine, for we are all part of the same race.... the Human Race. ~Thosny~ View all 4 posts  EyzzBrown: 3 years ago • Report  2  gingertreegirl: Awww Thosny , i hope you will never stop writing such beguiling thoughts ❣️ As i hesitate a moment before stuff my 6 month old bed pillow in a yard bag to join several previous ones , to donate to the animal shelter , because i suspect dust mite accumulation , when i imagine i hear things ....  CatcherAl: I read this just before it's time to rest my head, In hopes of bliss full slumber, no nightmares which I dread. Your eloquence with words doth make me smile and sometimes weep I thank you for your rhetoric as I lay me down to sleep. Bless you Thosny, my true and faithful friend.

View all 11 posts  Thosny in reply to Chele1L: It was a tremendous honor in helping bring peace to you and your family during such a harrowing time.  Thosny: Not everything that people post, necessarily make it to my Home Page. I suspect its the sheer volume that I have befriended over the years, that makes it impossible to see everything. But since I am nosey, I am not opposed to randomly go thru my friends list and pick someone that I haven't seen or heard from for awhile. This weekend I visited catcheral - whose real name is Alan. Alan's been here for quite awhile. 76 years of age, Alan hails from the area of Brexley over in the UK. He lives modestly and I can't imagine Alan ever meeting a stranger that he couldn't befriend. Not only is Alan a great guy, but he is extremely literate and a colorful fella. My gut tells me that he is the type of gentleman who would be the first to lend a hand to any befallen soul. What I have always admired in Alan is how he conveys his stories and personal updates. There is a rhythm to his writing that reminds me of a soft ebbing tide rolling onto a shoreline around sunset. Adding to this, the man loves working with his hands. Whether its crafting spectacular works of art with wood or in beautifying his house and grounds with frangrant flowers, you can tell this man eminates a unique peacefulness. So Alan, I want you to know... I think you are a great guy! I think all of us who know you, who have been witness to your stories, your art, your crafts and the way you treat people - are humbled, blessed and better off for it.

He is a true "Mans Man" yet has the intelligence and aptitude to switch to a wonderful empathic, caring and loving side normally found in the "Fairer Sex". He has a multitude of followers and friends and it wasn't until purely by chance I saw he was online and opened a private message just to say hi and ask about his well being. He then told me about his post, regarding me. I rarely use wire these days as severe neuropathy in my hands and fingers make typing a chore. That coupled with newly diagnosed Parkinson's make hitting. the right keys a nightmare. Every sentence has a couple of mistakes which have to be addressed. Thosny said he uses a verbal system to dictate his words and instructed me on how and where to find it. Life this morning has been a real chore with yet more to do. Yesterday a heard a fluttering behind the gas fire in my lounge and suspected a wood pigeon had fallen down the chimney and got trapped. They frequently mate on the chimney pots and I guess the poor guy got maybe over excited and fell in a big way for his mate Years ago I built the fireplace but now lack the ability to bend and work on it so I called my new landlord. (more about this story later in my wall). He carefully took the brass surround away from the back facia and shone a torch in. He could not see it at all. I said leave the surround unscrewed until today and this morning there was no rustling at all. I was gardening for about four hours and completely wiped out and in pain and thought, time for lunch but thought a seat in the lounge was called for first. Horror upon Horror as the entire fireplace, carpet, and a stack of CD'S were covered in soot as well as vases and brass objects had a half inch coating of soot. (Stop giggling you naughty people it's not that funny). There is only a gap of two inches so the main gas line has to be disconnected in order to remove the fire and free the errant bird. I am prepared with my angling landing net and then have the chore of cleaning everything. I will take pictures and again post on my wall. I was planning on going fishing tomorrow as the sun is shining and the winds are light but it looks as if that idea may have to be shelved. Grrrrrrrrrrr. Back to this post of Thosny's regarding me. I certainly don't think I deserved all the accolades but am so touched by his approval of me. One never really knows just what people think about each other and I feel honoured, flattered and extremely moved by this wonderful man's appreciation of me. All I have ever done here on wire is to be honest, kind, thoughtful and tried to make everyone's life a little happier. I am always there for people and just wish there were more, men especially, displaying a kinder and loving world. Thanks once again buddy. Bless you View all 24 posts Thosny in reply to Puffolino: Oh for heavens sake. Why is this post coming back? Is the Crayola Colorer of Words picking on my cat again? We need to remember Momma's Rule. Momma's Rule always warned us to never itch an old scab. These are prophetic words to live by, my friends She and her 7 member gaggle of ragamonkeys are nothing but SCABS. Don't itch them. Don't pick them. Don't even pay attention to them. But I get it. Every once in awhile, we have to deal with the Chatnips and the Walters who want to disrupt our days. God forbid we push back with an equal or greater vengeance. But what do they expect? Do they want us to just lie on our backs and just take the abuse? Nobody should have to endure that. Much has been said about how I reacted toward Chatnip when she decided to devowel me... right after Walter did. People said I was despicable. They said I was subhumanly vengeful. They said I was a vile and immoral. They said I hit FAR below the belt. My response? ABSO_FREAKIN_LUTELY!!! I hope that bimbo remembers that the next time she decides to mess with me in a chatroom. Thosny: I don't get it. Why do people feel the need to use such big fancy words in chat, when a singulary unloquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity?   I know, I know. I don't get it either. |
