VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997.

We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

I went to the last page of the archives here and saw this post. One more new thread and this post would have been knocked off the board altogether.
I'm not quite sure why, but this one is my favorite of Linda's drawings. I know Linda could always re-post this, but I'll save her the trouble, it should be safe now for a bit!

In the past I've reposted other folk's classic posts from days of LARS yore, so just for good measure, I'll add her poem from a different post from the same archive page:

UNDERSTAND ME


Walk a mile in my shoes.
I fell in love with The Blues.
Pursuing its glory
Has brought me sad news.

It is Business, they say,
Takes my Chosen away.
I’m a Fool and a Bad Boy
For fighting this way!

Walk a mile in my shoes,
They have killed you, my Blues.
I must yield to their Wisdom
Or Careers they will lose!

It is Business, you see.
They throw Garbage at me.
This Fluff will make Money,
With my Blues, it can’t be.

Walk a mile in my shoes.
I am weeping, my Blues.
I’m called Demon and Purist,
Despised and abused.

It is Business, my bane.
Some folks call me insane.
All I touch turns to smoke
While I cry in the rain.

Walk a mile in my shoes.
They’ve abandoned my Blues.
I must cast them aside
Though my life I may lose.

It was Business, the Beast,
Ate my Dreams at the feast
Of my roasted ambitions.
Cared for me? Not the least!

Walk a mile in my shoes,
With my beloved Blues.
Though my battle is lost,
Yield to them? I refuse!
