Deep In The Soul of Desire Writing FB, Mike's etc

There comes a time in every women's life when they search

for that "perfect lover". Someone they have known from the

past who will continue ad infinitum to give them love and

desire and pleasure that they need to live life for another

fifty years or so. Whatever it takes to make love last and

eternity can wait for me to find that perfect lover, the

mesher of souls the one flesh imbiber, thee knowing man,

the eternal man. That destiny speaks to me of which is

found and known deep in the soul of desire.

eXPO 67 WHAT THE? HOW HAS THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE MEETING

OF THE AMERICAS? OH MY I am so NAIVE..but oh well. yes

according to Col Sanders (ok Jeffrey something or other

from Kentucky (Ken Tuckey I did date in the

70's)..anyway..I think I am DIPLOMATIC...therefore I AM

DIPLOMATIC...and totally wasted again in

MARGARITAVILLE..well I am Irish and I am drinking Jack's

Jungle Juice...which is absolutely the verybest he's made

all week..buzzzzzz...zzzz...zzz.z!

Dearest Bruce: You are most welcome. If I hit open the

concept of your piece, or I am way off...oh well! I hope

that you have illicited a response to the weighty matter as

as we age "gravity so beseiges us os" and we must clamour

for amourwear..or defense against the blight. We

babyboomers are easy prey for the weighty matters, and it

does matter, as a babyboomer spokesperson myself...ssems

like a lot of metabolic mechanisms simply "turn off", some

keen observation and action can curtail the excess, and

make us enjoy our well-earned "golden years". If this in

fact is of which you write in your most excellent verse. Oh

this is a winner! To the diet gods; please figure out the

enzyme action once and for all so we may live to eat

another day? Provenders all! Mucho Sir Bruce!jajo--- In

Dear Ed: When we are struck down we are

also raised up again; you indeed have raised the roofbeam.

We are never given more than we can handle, so the good

book says.
Your struggle is truly a wonderful lesson in grace and

proves once again how life's blessings can be both simple

and profound.
I may or may not know who you truly are; but I do know you

are a wonderful person who just happens to be megatalented

superstar poet laureate.
We are truly blessed to have a Pulitzer Prize contender in

this group. As I am now dumbstruck with shock and awe.

Feeling like I am floating on the very rarified and elative

air of pure genius in the room!:)jajo --- In

one can blame lack of fat metabolic processes and lack of

exercise. Eating incorrect food, such as excess sugars and

fats are deadly. The dieting yoyo is a viscious cycle. One

day they will find the enyzme missing as well as how to

stay heart smart without the burden of weight-bearing

exercise which reek havoc on the joints. As people age the

process of fat storing (especially for women) is one which

does not seem advantageous to the youthful streamline look.

why diets are almost impossible to maintain. What is needed

is a healthy overall lifestyle, with a new way of thinking

about being healthy, not just skinny.

(not cooked, ever), grapes, nuts (not roasted), fish, (5)

variations in fruit and veggies per day and you have the

diet side of the healthy lifestyle. As for the exercise

program; the heart has to be elevated to a certain

prescribled level in order to loose calories. 1/2 to an 1

hr 3 times a week on an Elliptical (not hard on the joints)

will get the heart strenghtened. The yoga stretching

exercises and windsor pilates are excellent for muscle

tone, as well as some light weight bearing to maintain

muscle mass. Relaxation tapes help to put one in the mood

as well as good advise from a real doctor. Try

www.drmirkin.com...he is an amazing doctor who specialist

in Sports Medicine,he is widely knowledgeable and has much

information on all topic areas on his website. Dieting

doesnt have to be so depressing. When you are motivated to

eat when you shouldn't try to change the eating habit for

some other habit. Also keep tensing and untensing muscles

whenever possible. Hope this helps...? Zillion dollar

industry hasnt cured "fatwars" as yet...why not? Too much

money being made on crazy diet plans. Think "healthy" much

better!jajo --- In mikeswritingworkshop@yahoogroups.com,

Part and parcel of his (or her) dieting, then, must be rank

idiocy and rank foolishness.

I'm all too dimensionally involved with and in the process

sometimes is or at least may seem ultra-abundant.

Furthermore, edible items on hand might seem like some huge

smorgasbord of possibilities. I will carefully intend to

consume "this, that, and the other" (for example), but I

will soon have added on and added on -- perhaps only in

small amounts, yet those amounts mount up.
