but im not a poet and im not very smart and educated like you guyz so ill be axin questions...

Welcome, welcome among us, Veda, my dear lady!

We are so very much the richer that you have come to be among us here; thank you for joining us.

I am not very smart nor very educated either, yet I persist in trying to get good at poetry.  

Someday I mean to!

And until then, I will reach, and stretch, and strive, and grow.  Even if I fail, this beau geste is good exercise.

I hope you enjoy my attempts.

I have a homepage, if you would be interested in seeing it:

Thank you again, with all my heart, for coming to be among us here.

I am in unbreakable solidarity with you, always!

Namaste.

Hi veda,

Welcome to the Family at mindbrain!!

You have obviously been having a peek as a guest, and you honour us by joining; you could pay us all no greater tribute!

And, don't worry about what you don't know.
I'm clever enough to know that that there are a million times more things I don't know than I do know!
So we all give and take as we are able, and take one step at a time up the ladder of knowledge. Some think they're on the top rung, but don't realise the rungs below have all disappeared! Others are lower down and can only see many rungs above. The key is to look sideways and take in all you can.

Have a good time here, and ask me any questions you like [by IM if you want]. I will never say "you should know that".
Best regards, Bill.

wow thanx guyz!
