I just looked it up and it would be between 6and 10k. Still, it is an amount I do not have. I am sure if I sold everything I own I could come up with maybe 50k which in some counties sound like a lot. Here is the good old USA that is nothing. It is my reward for a life of service to my country and community. I have healthcare I earned though work and military service that I can not take with me outside of the country. I make it sound bad but in reality my like is OK. My White Trash Palace is paid for so I have no housing cost outside of the yearly taxes I pay. If I want I have enough land to plant a garden or have some chickens. I workout daily as a matter of fact today I am going to hike on Black Mountain. Saturday I am going to mountain bike in Wilson Creek. All in all I don’t have lot but I think a simple life is best.
As far as the boys you like not liking you then too bad for them. You are a smart and beautiful young lady and they are blind if they can not see your brilliance.
She walks in grace, like tepui heights,
Where clouds embrace the emerald peaks;
And all that’s best of tropical nights
Resides within her sun-kissed cheeks;
Thus mellowed to that golden light
Which through the Avila’s shadow seeks.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts of Orinoco express
The spirit of her ancient race.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
Like Angel Falls in steady flow,
They tell of days in music spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is continent.
Yes it does mimic Byron but that was my intention. I am a weirdo. I did my Masters in British Romanticism and my MFA in poetry so long ago. I can’t figure out the formatting problem with the stanzas.

That was awesome! Byron was troubled, but incredibly talented!
I hope happiness finds you and stays there
