The candle
[img]http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x87/BonnyMiss/POEMS/flame.gif[/img]
I watched intently as the wax slowly flowed from the candle
The flickering flame melted my memories upon the mantle
I prayed the flame would not go out taking all that I cherish
Love, life,laughter and all things good and rich
In the flame I see the smile that touched my heart
Fond recollections of events in the distant past
Shadows of a time once glorious played upon the wall
Alone,I sit and wait to answer to your call
Our candle held so much hope,sweet serenity in a world turning way too fast
Can time stand still, Allowing the candle's flame to last?
But now the slowly melting wax signals the end
Of hopes and dreams, no more can I pretend
It has been a journey for you and I
The time has come to say a sad goodbye
I place the keys to the door upon the mantle
And take one last look at the melted candle.

Even regional differences can vary immensely from even one state away. About twenty years ago, I went with my then-roommate to lower Michigan for a wedding. Getting the munchies, but not wanting to spoil my dinner, I went to the local convenience store to buy a box of potato chips. This is a common thing in Wisconsin -- a box containing two bags of potato chips, sort-of like a picnic pack. They looked at me like I had three heads. They had never even HEARD of something so "ridiculous" as a BOX of chips!
There are boxes of chips? 
We have crisps(chips) in tubes here in the UK and we also buy chips(fries) wrapped in newspapers from the fish and chip shop ( both taste delicious) |

If you constantly practice the wrong things, all you will achieve is to make your faults more consistent.
That's the reason I like doing hand stands in the corner whilst wearing big blue cotton knickers.  |

People in the south, mostly females, I don't know exactly what the males might use, we call people "hon, sugar, darlin, etc". Most of the time, it's a form of endearment, but you'll find waitresses, clerks, etc. that don't know you, referring to you in one of these ways, simply acknowleding that you exist since we don't know your name. Twice, in the past month I've been reproached because I called someone "hon". Neither time did I know this persons name, one even after 4 emails wouldn't sign or say his name, the other mocked me in a thread. Since there's people from all over in these forums, do you find it offensive to be called any of the names mentioned above?
just done to make others feel welcomed - not derogatory.
I'm PROUD to have grown up in the south with all these wonderful southern females!!!!!
yer not the only one there fella,,,, i wouldnt trade it for any other spot in the country,, where else you gonna find the right food???
YEP......Porterhouse over a hickory fire and Baked potatos!!!!
You cannot fool me any longer ! I know Porterhouse is a steak and I also know that the hickory you are referring to is that mouse that ran up the clock. I may be British but I'm cottoning on to you Americans. |

Thank goodness ! I was about to post asking if I'm the only Brit in this thread. Hi Dan 
I know it gets boring when you are left in the company of yanks! lol!
That and the fact that I have no comprehension of what a wood tick or a coonass is.
Me neither. The second one sounds racist though!
I thought it related to a racoon's butt  |

I am always of the opinion that no matter how good you are at spelling or explaining yourself, most often written text just does not convey the tone of spoken text and a person's written testimony can be misconstrued as condescending ........... So now I've taken to sending voice mail ! hello OMTA received any voice mail lately?  |
