Open Thread - Rants, Muses, Books & Music (and Some Cooking Too).
Submitted by Mark from Queens on Tue, 02/28/2017 - 6:00amIt's good to see you. Come on in, leave your shoes in the hallway, we've got fire on the stove preparing lunch for later. In the meantime, browse the bookshelves and plunk down on the sofa with one, or pick out some tunes from the music library or come in to the kitchen to help with the cooking. Our special blend of tea is steeping and will be right up.

Submitted by The Aspie Corner on Mon, 02/27/2017 - 8:33pmToday I went on yet another car ride with the employment specialist across the county to follow up on jobs I know I'll never even be considered for.
Stop being negative, she says. Bah. I've spent 15 fuckin' years with Voc Rehab and despite spending years in college completing 2 degree programs, holding several intern and volunteer positions over 3 years during and after college, I still can't get a single god damned employer to take me seriously.

Lines Written In Early Spring
William Wordsworth
William Wordsworth
I heard a thousand blended notes,
While in a grove I sate reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.
While in a grove I sate reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.
To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man.
