Did Leather like Riche? The Fonze
had Pinky, so I'm guessing it
was Riche. Please, please not Ralph
Mouth or Potsie.

That link is all I need to say, taught me to try and drop almost all my negativity and to appreciate life in general.
Fleetwood Mac: I was getting bored of music before I started listening to FM, in a hard rock rut. They brought me out of it and made me love music again.
Georgie (ButterCookie): Not nearly enough characters to list all the reasons.
John McVie: In addition to Fleetwood Mac because I now strive to be as cool as John one day. I know it'll probably never happen but can't hurt to try

I loved this show as a kid, too. I thought it was Ralph Malph.

You might be right Jannie. I'd always thought it was Mouth because
he was always running his. Remember the corny jokes?

Of course. And you're probably right; who knows- great show, though. I always liked the first Arnold. Laverne and Shirley came on right after Happy Days, I think.

Yeah, who knows? I liked the first Arnold too. The first couple of
seasons were much better. Fonzie was a little tougher character in
the begining.

I remember Laverne and Shirley appearing on Happy Days. There
characters were much different than what they would become on
their own show, especially Shirley's. I never really cared for that
show, but what else did we have to choose from back then?

So Jannie, did you also watch Giligan's Island and The
Brady Bunch? I grew up on those and Scooby Doo.

since feeling is first
e.e. cummings

since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
—the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis

[daniellaaarisen]

"We die containing a richness of lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have plunged into and swum up as if rivers of wisdom, characters we have climbed into as if trees, fears we have hidden in as if caves. I wish for all this to be marked on my body when I am dead. I believe in such cartography- to be marked by nature, not just to label ourselves on a map like the names of rich men and women on buildings. We are communal histories, communal books. We are not owned or monogamous in our taste or experience. All I desired was to walk upon such an earth that had no maps."
