I think I may adopt the OCM? / BadNick form of posting here - meaning: I wait for the bump, and then post.
It makes easier to post, for one, and then I don't also trip over my fifteen topics limit in which I've set for myself.

-- (to note: We, I mean you, perhaps the entity known as 'The Thread', missed a consecutive streak last week. It upset me for half a second, mostly because I wasn't there.)

- - -

I wonder if either (four?) of us are in-tune to all these "Finals" going on around us?

Not just to bump this thread, but I also have a couple questions.

What do you mean by "missed a consecutive streak last week"?

What "Finals" are you referring to? I know my son is into the NBA thing but are there other finals also? ...I guess a lot of students are taking finals about now, being end of school year for many.

There was one full day (and then some additional hours) in which this thread did not register a single post on [un]said date (I believe it was on the 26th).

I'm trying to raise awareness to whichever Finals you are willing to talk about, and then I'll chime in... for example, I just partook in some three off-and-on hours recently to watch Game 1 of the NHL Finals, which just concluded in spectacular fashion. -- (to note: additionally, there's also school finals to graze on, season finales to dish about, the NBA Finals might also come up, or how about thos French Semi-Finals, aren't they something? Is the Tour de France starting soon? I wonder... but none too often out loud.)

I wondered, Jetee.
I wavered towards some fretting
'bout your whereabouts.

but I thought, my dear,
since that tends to be my wont,
it's just your bizness.

Well said, Ocm?. Me, too.

I'm in the mood for squid. How 'bout some Cambodian sauteed squid with fresh green peppercorns and scallions?

This thread languishes;
I don't see a way away.
Should I shut up, too?

I doesn't seem to jive up with the word's meaning, but "languish" sounds like something nice to do.

Plank to plank, they were...

Zook, you talking about those pirates?

Arrrrg! Avast ye matey! Ye can swab the poop deck, but ye can't poop on the swab deck.

Your object, fascination,
from your subject matter, based in fact,
cannot preclude each other.

The reasons I followed you?
You were too pretty to be believed,
& you seemed legitimate.

Ocm?, that inspired me to see if pirate haiku exists. I guess I should have known that on the internet, everything exists Pirate Haiku

My daughter sent me
something referencing that,
as if I wrote it.

I laughed until I cried.

24/8x1=3

Something to cry for,
besides beloved country,
might be in order.

(Where are they?
Have they been interned,
or hiding?)

I love that book! ...Cry, the Beloved Country. It was one of those books I read that inspired me to read more good books because it moved me.

I don't know where they could be, Ocm?. It's just you and me in here for now.

Just you & me here
are proceeding apace-like,
& quite morally.

(2-4)+8+1=7

//Suddenly beyond content,
in a state where satisfaction lies,
if not knowing where I am.

Speaking of space...

Ocm?,

In this regard, I've told myself that we should stay focused on "persistence". Sort of like the fable of the tortoise and the hare, or the hare and the tortoise if you have that perspective.

gg,
that is a pic that warms my heart in so many ways...as I'm sure you would if you were here :) ...no disrespect intended. I had a couple beers for lunch which seems to loosen my tongue, both physical and virtual.

(also speaking of space):

No-space 'twixt my ears
seems like telling you a lie,
but I'll discuss it.

(Very nice of you to drop in, my fellow horticulturist!)

See...I love flowers and plants. Who in the right mind wouldn't? Or even left mind.

Soon, when I "retire" from my life as VP of Engineering, I hope to find a "job" in a flower shop. There are so many things I would enjoy about that. Will do.

More natural than a library,
with their vibrations more intensely self-sure,
flowers depress nobody I know.

2x4/8=2/2

Another idea....maybe it can be a library filled with plants and flowers.

Great scene, Zooksport2.
Communication failure
can be a problem.

-(24/8)=2-5

It probably hurts me more than it hurts you.

Maybe so, BadNick.
I just close my eyes real tight
& wash up later.

(2+4+8)/2=7

Then, too, you're employed.
I only talk to artists
who want their brains picked.

It's an amazing culture, right?

Turn the music on and watch this. It made me feel better.

Nice, nick, now see if this will....

whoa! Talented baby with a sense of humor:

What are we up to?
I'm chatting with sillygirl
through easy gmail.

I just chatted with sillygirl via mental telepathy ...I hope she picks up my vibes.

Ocm?, I sent a second wave in your direction and then turned to the south to help another one go all the way down under to Zooks. I turned my power button up all the way to help it get there.

It needs more power!, cap'n!

aye aye, Scotty. Get the cheese to sickbay!

Funny you say cheese:
around the time you mentalled,
I was eating some.

Smiling? But of course!
Cheese is as good as choc'late
when you're in the mood.

I love cheese
I love chocolate
chocolate cheesecake
mmm mmm mmm

I don't happen to have any chococheesecake at the moment, but dear wifey made some pretty good looking homemade mac & cheese that I'm about to taste...before the wild wolves aka my boys eat everything in sight. Growing boys must eat must be true.

In fact, thanks to readily available technology, here it is with her stuffed peppers in the background:

May I come over?
I need something well-prepared
& more delicious.

of course, please come visit anytime

I'm glad it's Friday,
it was a strangely long week.
Weekend's forecast: NICE!

I like that tune, as well as a light rain on a warm sunny afternoon. And that reminds me I can still remaster my future.

It's possible rain tonight but tomorrow will be nice here, too!
