Peg, I will send a link to the thread and a quote of your post out onto the prayer chain. Don't assume that if you hear nothing back, people did not pray-- we mostly pray and just leave it at that. And you don't need to worry about people praying crap AT you. Our people pray what's requested, in the main, and leave the rest to your own heart. There's a sense that you know what you need, and are asking it, and we put our effort right there on that spot. OK?

Peg, you might want to check Landlady's Daughter's thread (Housing Songs); she's got a song for every situation, from every age to the present. I think you'll find "You Just Can't Take My Home Away" in their somewhere. If you don't find the song, ask her and refresh the thread at the same time. She'll be thrilled to get a request. You might even ask her for "Boil Them Landlords Down" – an alternative energy song.

Peg, your request just went out.

I forgot to tell you that the Wallace Stevens poem has been in my collection for years-- one of my very favorite pieces. (He's a tough one, isn't he?) Do you happen to like Kenneth Patchen too?

Here, you poor frozen ladies -- let me put my lemonade down, remove my sandals, and offer some poor measure of heartfelt consolation to those of you who, lured by the baubles of culture, hypnotized by mere literacy, or mayhap enthralled by the dumb magic of deciduous forests, have opted to spend a third of your year practicing for the next Ice Age:

BLOW, blow, thou winter wind,
  Thou art not so unkind
 As man's ingratitude;
 Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
 
 Heigh ho! sing, heigh ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
 Then heigh ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.
 
 
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
 Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remember'd not.
 
 Heigh ho! sing, heigh ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then heigh ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly,
For them as has lolly.

Warmest regards,

A
