😂😂 Okay here goes...
This is part of a poem...
'Be still, thou unregenerate part,
Disturb no more my settled heart,
For I have vow'd (and so will do)
Thee as a foe still to pursue,
And combat with thee will and must
Until I see thee laid in th' dust.
Sister we are, yea twins we be,
Yet deadly feud 'twixt thee and me,
For from one father are we not.
Who wrote it and what is the name of the poem?

Pammy Jo"

How are you?"
Oh, Allyson, I feel for you! I had to wear a brace on my right hand and wrist for 5 years! Severely injured tendons. It still hurts and my arm is still a bit deformed. I hope you heal quickly! Braces are uncomfortable!
Pammy

What happened to you?"
I was injured by terrible grammar."
Yeah that was pretty bad. 😂😂

Hmm, I've never read this before! Therefore I will guess that the author is Edgar Allen Poe. The title I have no idea! 😅

That's terrible and so sad Pammy!!😟 Hopefully I'll just have to wear it for a month. I'm just glad it's toward the end of summer so I don't have to wear it in the heat!!

🙈-I feel so behind.
(No jokes, Emma!😋)
Even wee (as in young) Allyson
knows this one.❤

I volunteered in a facility for those with alzheimer's disease and an elderly man attacked me, grabbed my lower arm and repeatedly beat my arm against the door frame. It took some time to subdue him, but the damage was done. He also ripped out a large hunk of my hair. It was terrifying and he snapped without warning. He didn't realize what he was doing, of course. That was 8 years ago.
Pamela

How lovely to see you!

Good God, Pamela!
