me either and that is why I like it here..TP will see to it not bickering....
This reminds me of a story of my dear ol mum.  My brother and I were little kids running around the house playing cowboys shooting each other with our cap guns. We both got rather involved and caught up in the game and we ended up shouting at each other yelling loudly "I'am going to kill you!"


Mom happened to over hear this and here she came stomping into the room... she grabbed us each by one arm and drug us up stairs to our bedroom. Then she made us neal down next to our bed and and made us both pray to God forgiveness.


We never said that again ever... but we did have a bit more fear and respect for mum.

I was not aware of any problem with Cyg and myself... very sorry if I left that impression. I don't like conflict either.

Perhaps, I read it wrong.
In any event, I deleted my profile from TP'S forum shortly after receiving the typical response I usually do when visiting one of your own hometown threads - simply stating and hoping for its return to some form of normalcy - namely, Spin The Bottle - which brought the usual arrogant replies in tow with the same characters.

However, I reinstated my profile, afterwards and will visit the threads that bring joy to me rather than posters that choose to seek otherwise.
I will continue to read you and Mrs. Cowface along those journeys, wherever that may bring the each of us which leaves very few threads to post on..

This reminds me of another childhood story... Mom & Dad went to visit a lady at her home and took my brother and I with them.  We were about age 5 and we sat quietly while the adults talked.


Out of the blue I spoke to the lady and said "Got anything to eat?"  The lady said back "Not much to eat here maybe some bread".  Mom said to the lady "No don't bother, they are fine".


But Mom had quite a bit more to say when we got back to the car!. In the car Mom lit into me saying "You don't ever,  ever beg or ask for food when visiting at other peoples homes!" I kept my mouth shut... wanting to say "But I was hungery".

One year my brother and I got Christmas and Halloween confused.  We told Mom & Dad that it was Halloween Eve and that children were allowed to go trick or treating both nights... which we did. We got a few strange looks when neighbors answered doors two nights in a row for our "Trick or Treat!".

I think that I will be choosing some different directions in my nearest future, if you shouldn't mind.
I'm certain that will keep both our flows going in the right direction for all parties concerned..

IslandGurl your ways of speaking of directions and flows are quite interesting me. Have your ever read the book "The Dove"? There is a movie also.This reminds me of you somehow. I hope you will hang out with a while yet.

My childhood; I grew up in a family of sociopaths (didn't we all)

Punishment was usually swift and extreme for the usual mundane "bad" things kids do. One day, around the age of 8, I was hanged out of a second story window for arguing with my sibling by a parental figure. Made to hang on for dear life for what seemed to be an eternity out of an old Victorian era house, you know the ones with the 12 foot ceilings making the 2nd story height seem that more devastating to a young child if he were to fall. 

You might be asking, why would this be a 'fond' memory? In short, the parental figure didn't let go.

In that moment I understood there was some good buried within all that 'psychotic' rage induced, generational abuse passed down from parental figure to offspring that went back in my family line as old  as the stories themselves are told about it. A bit of good that was realized one day when this parental figure gave their life to the Christian God, Jesus, a few short years later. Still fallible and flawed, such is the human condition, but a total and marked change from the monstrous person that once was.


Ah, good times.

Hey there WLU... long time no see. I have missed you from the old Topix days. Glad you found your way here. Your writing is as impressive as always. You had me entranced from the start with 12 foot ceilings. I know those very same tall windows you speak of reaching to the ceiliing.


The very fact that the parental figure hung you out the window... but did not let you go... is a pivotal fact. You were loved then... as you are here among friends.

Mr. Cowface,

As always, your stories are also a pleasure to read. I am always enthralled with your tales of hitchhiking across country or living in a colony. I try to imagine and visualize the sights, sounds and experiences one would have on such grand adventures. Like you, I once drove across country to meet a girl (Ohio to Spokane, Washington). I drove 33 hours, 2,100 miles non-stop on sheer willpower.

Ah, the things you do when you're young, in love and a lot less cynical.


How is Mrs. Cowface and you planning to do a garden this year? I thought about growing some Tobacco this year.

Good Morning, Cowface.
Yes, I'm aware of the book, but he didn't actually sail all alone - he had two kittens aboard.💞

When I first decided to join TP'S forum I thought it would remain a private site without opening it up to allow anonymous users which in my opinion was one of the biggest downfalls of Topix as a whole - that and the lack of fair moderation skills/practices.

I come here to only find the exact same thing happening here on the Guest Forum.
Lots of fighting, bickering and trickery.

I'll be sticking around for a bit yet to see where all this goes.
Happy posting, Princess.

No it didn't get solved because names/conflicts between posters from Topix continues to be discussed on other threads and carried directly from there to here onto Texas Pete's forum.
Perhaps, some enjoy for that drama to continue - most posters, however, do not.

Not a good or wise move at all, if one truly wishes for harmony & peace to take place here - that is.
And, I'll remain vocal on this topic until it stops completely..

I forgot about the kittens, but I think he met a girl on one of the islands. Didn't he take her with him sailing on the end of his voyage?  Not sure; I read the book over 45 years ago when I was hitchhiking through the Florida Keys. His journey really inspired me on my own journey.
