Just Stuff
I am Marilyn. Used to be called GardenGal, but prefer my own name. What do I have to hide?
I am a nurse by profession, a poet in my soul, passionate in my heart for those I love: My family and my friends. They are the life blood of human existence. A thinker and an observer of the human condition. I am always thirsting for knowledge. It is an insatiable thirst.
I am a part of a community here on Yuku. Grabba Jabba. Funny name, but great place. Like its name suggests, lots of fun there--just like at your friendly corner pub, coffee house, or bar & grill. And like the cozy little place on the corner, we gather, talk about nothing and everything from the serious to the silly--a wide variety of subjects. It is a great community of people from all walks of life. Always good conversations go on there, and just like a good pub or bar, there's always the club bands playing their tunes over in the Music Expresso forum.
I extend the invitation to come and have a cuppa Joe or a brewsky while we chat. Drinks are on me, and I'll gladly play a game of darts with you!

Oh, and before you go, if you like my style in designing--good hint of it is in my profile--you just might like the community skins I have percolating over
at Designs
By Harmony Hollow Graphics.
These are unique skins for Yuku communities. So mosey on over and see if you might find one or two or three to take with you to your own communities!
If you do drop by, drop a comment or two about the designs. You are free to post in the main forum or on each posted design. I'd love to read your feedback!
In the meantime, stay safe, live long, and prosper! And thank you for visiting with me!

Life's Roller Coaster Ride: The Ups & Downs
09/29/09 18:38:13 | 2 Comments
Have you ever known someone who it seems, there's just this swirl of controversy, drama, and chaos that surrounds them? Then there are people who, at least on the surface, seem to lead charmed lives--everything goes their way, life just hums along without major hitches, at least to those of us observing these charmed ones' lives.
The majority of us, I do believe, fall somewhere in the middle.
If we took our lives and plotted them out on a graph, I think we'd find an undulating, but fairly straight line for the majority of our lives, with a few spikes up, and even fewer downward plunges. A rather boring roller-coaster in layout.
I think I am also average in my optimism. I'm not overly optimistic, but I am not pessimistic for the most part. If total pessimism was to the far left of the spectrum and total optimism was to the far right, I figure most of the time, I am at center with a little more leanings towards the right, and only... -
Love & Peace: Reflections of Woodstock

The original 3 days of THE love and peace event of the 60's started on Friday, August 15, 1969. Now, many of you weren't even a gleam in your Daddy's eye at that time; some of us were snot-nosed brats, some were in high school, some were older--twenties, etc.
All I remember at the time was hearing news reports of it gradually leaking out over the weekend. I recall being up at Warren Dunes in Michigan camping out with a group of high school friends without my parent's knowledge since it was with a co-ed group--they thought I was spending the weekend with my best friend in town. I remember climbing up to the top of one of the dunes at the beach with some of the group watching the sunset and mentioning it, but only in passing. I was just heading into my last year of HS.
The radio stations were all talking about it on the way back that Sunday evening as we returned to Illinois via I-94 to I-80 to I-57 as we skirted the southern...
