The god of Christmas shopping

A speaker invited to a school to talk about the meaning of Christmas instead went rogue and told the kids – some as young as 4 – that Santa doesn’t exist and then handed out chocolate Santas for them to smash up. Parents have rushed to

Man cave

So you have the chance to buy, pretty cheaply, a 600 sq m shed. Yes, that size is right. 600 square metres. Big enough to park, oh, 30 regular cars? In a SHED. Next to your home. Would you? Why? T

Pie

Sometimes I include a family size fruit pie in my weekly shopping. It could be cherry or rhubarb, but is more usually apple. I do my shopping at the weekend, and will typically have a piece of the pie mid morning on the following day, with a cup of

Your human-ness being deleted?

Would you care what you ate....if you could not taste or smell? (what has caused taste and smell disappear lately?) Would you care who you loved or had s*x with...as long as it satisfied you? (what is going on today with the corn industry

These boots were made for walking

My dog was extremely emphatic about it. She'd rather have cold feet. Rather even grit in her paws. It's the eve of Christmas Eve and four, count 'em, FOUR days before I have to go

a night on the town...

Well...inspired by another person having a night on the town right now Last night a buddy of mine Nick and I went out to the big city....a city of about 5000 people. That is huge around here. We both concluded it as being

So Finally

Thanks to a good friend of mine, my guitar is finally in the shop for a complete overhaul. I could never afford it but my friend told me to put it in the shop and not to worry about it so I did. Frets, nut, bridge being realigned, neck shimmed, the w

Child on Christmas night

Do you still get that way...even as an adult? You know something is very exciting coming up in the near future and you cannot sleep. I just discovered something tonight and the event is taking place on Sunday. I cannot wait....a major investment o

Under Achiever

At school my teachers thought I would never amount to anything. I haven’t seen any of them since I left so they probably don’t know how accurate their predictions were. None of my achievements in life have been more than minor. This has, from time

Reflections Of My life

I have done a lot of thinking of late. Thinking about what might have been, what could have been, what has been and what has not been. For some things there is still time while for others, I fear, it is too late. Mercifully those are few. I have done

Dying Breed

It won’t happen in our lifetimes but I find it interesting that the racial category I will call Anglo for purposes of this blog will, in a few hundred years, be statistically extinct. It is already incredibly challenging to find population perce

Sweet and Sour Summer

Today I took the short trip to a nearby village where I was to view a property. The young couple and their two children were delightful. I then walked along the canal tow path with my dog squeezing past the shire horse and the boatman as they towed

pop-up ads

Is it only me that is getting 3 to 4 pop up ads jumping up at once on your screen with this site? For me, that is what is going on and it actually makes it very difficult to use this site. Heck, I hardly even use the site anymore, and that is ev

maybe...we asked for it

I suspect that everything that has ever happened to us...or has yet to happen to us...we have asked for it. Through decisions we have made throughout our lives..... these decisions have put us in certain situations/environments/places/relation

Are you who you say you are?

Are blogs the easiest way to tell who is real? What they really think? Their attitudes and what they really say about what they want in life?

Immortality

Do we become immortal when our name and date of birth and death become engraved in a granite stone? If you think about what stands the test of time. Would you write your most important bit of wisdom on your stone for the future of humanity

Solitude

The world is a dark and selfish place, Society creates unrealistic demands on us and these drive us to become pro-solitude. Society tells us who we are and how we should live, but solitude shows us who we are and who we want to be. We like being a

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CH! She is another year older today and another year wiser.

All the things NOT in your profile

You are not your age, nor the size of clothes you wear, You are not a weight, or the color of your hair. You are not your name, or the dimples in your cheeks. You are all the books you read, and all the words you speak. You are your croaky mornin

Lets sort this out for once and for all.

OK, I'm hearing a lot of people want to know the truth about tooth gaps. There is plenty of anectdotal evidence and hearsay about the matter, but apparently some are sticklers for facts and details. going on what I've heard, they absolutely love i

Would it were otherwise.....

...A dystopian cautionary tale, worse than one from any fiction page turner. The one party fake communist, VERY fake, state that is China, is well on it's way to completing their system of "social scoring". Based on almost universal CCTV coverage,

the car is moving on....

... How often we must bear the challenges of life; The endless roller coaster between happiness and sorrow; The constant ups and downs of daily strife. And always the question remains .... why? Life is not an easy road for mos

Would you relocate?

I've been on CS for around a year now. The reason I'm here is that I want to meet English speaking people. Living in Spain and in the area I do, there aren't many around. I know that in Spain there are quite a few and its been easy to talk to them o

When you go on holiday

wish you'd tell me what things are important to you about the place where you stay Do you insist everything be five star, including your own private pool / sauna / 24 hour service or do you stay in hostels and hope the other 9 in the room won

feminism

I wanted to post a comment on the most recent feminism blog, but I see the comments had been disabled. Let it be known, I will not attack anyone on their personal opinions and perceptions. I don't see a productive furthering the discussion of a ser

If you were my mobile phone, where would you be?

And please don't all shout at once. I can't phone it, it is going straight to voicemail, it does that, decides to take a break every now and then. The alarm is due to go off tomorrow morning, sure, I could hear it then - but it may have r

Why ask why?

Okay. I need to preface this story with a little factual information first. I don't know. Maybe about 10 years or so. I heard it was bad for you to get dressed while you were still wet. Not sure exactly why, but it just makes sense to me. Actua

Shape up our day and future

We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW

question that has baffled only men for centuries and decades

I am sure that most, if not all, men have pondered this thought and question...and many have most likely shed a tear or two over it. Living alone. All by yourself. No woman as company. Just you. That is it. The question is...whe

I would love to live in a world

Where we found as much justification if not more for compassion, as we do for war. Where we valued ...... more than we do ........ Please fill in the blanks yourself. I imagine you have your own small thoughts on the first

Nice. But how much is to much.

Or is there even such a thing as to much. I think two of these would be about enough to keep me happy.

Loneliness Vs. Being Alone

The Wall

Having a large property that borders onto derelict homes and orchards is becoming a security risk; I am finding illegal animals coming over the boundary and stealing my animal’s food, hanging around and generally causing the legal residents to be too

With THIS blog, I'm risking an injury

And maybe a friendship also.... but I done it years ago before, and because I'm deeply worried, I'll risk it again. Since April of this year my friend, our friend Nam is in Ukraine, assisting in their war. September 2nd is the last mail I recei
