[QUOTE="200Meters, post: 755671, member: 23727"] Copa, my quoting Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" got me to listen to their other early classic "[URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUbMWtUyIIE'][U]Don't you want somebody to love?[/U][/URL]" on the way home yesterday and that, in turn, reminded me of something you posted, that I think affects all of us in one way or another. You said: The first two lines of the first stanza of "Don't you want somebody to love?" are: "When the truth is found to be lies And all the joy within you dies" I remember the first time it hit us that Youngest was in serious, deep trouble. It felt like the ground was being ripped out from under our feet and that we were looking into an abyss. Perhaps more than anything else, I resent Youngest (and Oldest, he is not innocent here) for making me into something I am not, for forcing me to be something I hate. I am, by nature, trusting and I tend to be gullible. I [I]want[/I] to believe people, especially our sons. Our sons! But I have had to go against my nature and become suspicious, skeptical and mistrustful. I cannot tell you how much I hate that, but I have no choice. To the lines from "Don't you want somebody to love?", it felt like something within us died when the police arrested him. The other lines of the first stanza are: Don't you want somebody to love Don't you need somebody to love Wouldn't you love somebody to love You better find somebody to love If anything, dealing with this has brought Mrs. 200Meters & I closer together. We lean on and support each other and give each other strength. I couldn't do this without her. Why not kosher and vegetarian/vegan both. We are not required to eat meat, poultry and fish but if we want to, then we have to follow certain rules. No dairy and meat together. No pork. No rabbit. No shrimp or clams, etc. ([URL='http://www.jewfaq.org/kashrut.htm'][U]This[/U][/URL] is a good, basic read on the Jewish dietary laws.) Thank you; so do we. I can only promise to try. :) Thank you. [I][COLOR=#ff0000][B]BLUSHBLUSHBLUSH[/B][/COLOR][/I] We all know our Dormouses...Dormice? I I hear you and I agree with you. I might've said that he was a pain in the [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7b/Donkey_1_arp_750px.jpg/220px-Donkey_1_arp_750px.jpg[/IMG] but "challenge" also works. :) Thank you. If that is the case, it is thanks to Mrs. 200Meters (see above) and our faith in G-d. Ditto! [/QUOTE]
