Florence Nightingale - She cared for poor and indigent people.

Joan of Arc - She led the French army to several important victories and led king Charles VII to his coronation. She was captured by the English and tried by an ecclesiastical court led by Bishop Pierre Cauchon, an English partisan; the court convicted her of heresy and she was burned at the stake by the English when she was nineteen years old.

Agatha Barbara - During the Second World War, she worked as an air raid warden. She was a schoolteacher from the early 1940s until 1947, when she became the first woman elected to the Maltese parliament; she was the only woman to be returned in these elections. She was a member of parliament until 1981, by which time she had contested and been elected in ten consecutive elections. She served as education minister of Malta in the Labour Party government of Dom Mintoff from 1955 to 1958 and instituted compulsory full-time education in Malta for children, leading to the hiring of hundreds of new teachers. In 1958 she served 43 days in prison "with hard labour", for picketing during a national strike following the resignation of Mintoff.

what's even more confusing is the fact that I never wanted to allow myself in such situations... I never wanted to meet my boyfriend's parents so early in our relationship... now, if I decide to end the relationship and go for the other one... I won't just hurt him but all the family... I know I should only think about my feelings now... but its very difficult the way I am!! It would have been much easier for me to decide if either one of them treated me like shit!

You know what... last night we were watching Manchester U vs. Rome and we made a bet... I was the only italian fan at his place watching the game... and he said that if Rome should score I shall walk it home... jokingly :-) but i truly was hoping that something comes up and would not drive me so I could call the other one to come and pick me up! Am i going crazy or what??

to be honest, it really frightened me when I answered my mobile and the lady said its his mother. The thing is that from his messages and emails, he seems that he's really feeling down... and its true that I don't want to hurt him. But I don't want to end my short relationship just not to hurt him either!! its so complicated... but thank you all for your advice.

Well... some of you might got to know me... I have been on CS for some couple of months now, and through this site I met a couple of wonderful people that really left footprints in my heart.

I now need some advice. In february I met someone from CS a couple of times... he was very nice physically and we got on really well together. I enjoyed every minute with him... and loved just reading his sms... and I realised he was shy. Well... to make a not so long story even shorter... after a couple of dates he decided to 'not meet me anymore' because he did not know at the moment what was it that he wanted in life. And it hurt some even I knew him only for a couple of weeks.

Anyway, in time, I met someone else from CS... and this guy is also very sweet and caring... but sometimes I do have my doubts if I have to be honest with him... I see him as too childish and too shy... but friends told me I should wait and see how it will turn out... even it scares me to death as after a week together I met his mother. But then she was very nice and we get on well together... for now!!

Yesterday I got an sms from the guy I had met in February, saying how sorry he is that he ended the relationship and that he's looking forward to hear from me and I replied in honesty telling him that I am very sorry that it had to end like that, and that I would love to be his friend but unfortunately I am seeing someone else... guess what!!! to make it all the more confusing for me, his mother called me saying that he is very sorry... that he's not feeling well after I told him that... etc etc and that I should get with him cause he owns a house and bla bla bla....

please... what shall I do?? I really don't want to hurt any of these guys as I do like them both very much!!! any advice??

A black swan dumped by her lover has been reunited with her old flame - a giant pedal boat in the shape of a white swan she had been pining for all winter.

Petra made headlines all around the world in 2006 when she grew so fond of the plastic boat she could not bear to be parted from it.

The romance between the odd couple blossomed after German zoo officials in the town of Muenster released Petra on a local lake next to the boat.





She became so besotted with her pedal boat love that she refused to leave its side, even refusing to mingle with the other swans.

The bizarre love affair attracted worldwide attention and a busy tourism industry built up at the Aasee Lake where local shops sold souvenirs of Petra and her pedalo lover.

Last winter Petra refused to fly to warmer climes so she and the vessel were taken into Muenster zoo and housed in the heated enclosure.

Over the past few months the rare Australian black swan struck up a relationship with a real-life German white swan she met at the zoo.

Zookeepers thought that she was all set when the pair started building a nest together.

The real white swan, nicknamed Bruce, was besotted with Petra and they were inseparable, according to zoo staff.

But that romance was short lived and went on the rocks last weekend when Bruce ditched Petra for another. Her unfaithful mate decided to fly off and seek the company of other black swans.

Since then the heartbroken Petra has been swimming around in an agitated state and zoo officials had to do something to calm her down.

This weekend zookeepers decided to reunite her with her beloved boat, which had been returned to its owner only last week.

They are hoping Petra's return to the lake that she shared with the boat for nearly two years will boost up the lovesick bird's spirits.

When they took her away from the boat, she seemed to lose her way, they said. Now that she is reunited with her "old love" they hope she will soon feel better again and regain her sense of security.

Hi Corazon... if you were maltese like me I would suggest you learn Arabic.... its very common to maltese, but then you should make a study in your country and see what is requested most.

In the Tantric model, the sexual experience is seen as a dance with no beginning or end. There is no goal, only the present moment of exquisite union. For this reason, lovemaking is meditative, expressive and intimate. Tantra teaches lovers how to extend the peak of their sexual ecstasy so that women and men can experience several orgasms in a single sexual encounter.

Communicate with your lover to discover what he or she finds most arousing.

Make time for each other every week.

Create an inviting atmosphere.

Dress provocatively.

Developing intamacy together by simple things as feeding each other delicious foods or sharing a glass of wine in the nude. Or bathing together....


The above are some techninques in the study of tantric sex... but do we have to read a book or take lessons to do these things with our partners???


its it worth studying tantra sex or is there no time for it in the modern world?: click here to read the entire thread »

I totally agree with smoky. You have to make yourself noticed... send flowers to any men you might like and tell them that you would like to get to know more as obviously profiles are not enough. start exchanging emails through CS, participate in the forums, and I am sure that you'll be more noticed.

I did, and met a wonderful person through CS. It's been already a month since we started dating, and he is so very good to me.

As someone else already said, every person is different... I don't usually make the first move, but if there's someone i really like and need desperately to know if he's interested or not, then I do tend to be a bit forward. Until now it worked fine ;-) why not take risks!! in the end, we all can survive rejection.

You should have added another sentence in your poll - Both

Sometimes we eat because we need to kill hunger, but when we are in good company, we are living to eat... its a great way to enjoy a special someone's company.

Tea can also impede the absorption of iron from fruits and vegetables. Adding lemon or milk to your tea or drinking it between meals will counteract this problem. Tea also contains caffeine, albeit in smaller amounts than coffee.

Drinking a cup of tea a few times a day may be a pleasant way to consume antioxidants and other healthful plant compounds. In green tea-drinking cultures, the usual amount is three cups per day. Three to five minutes of steeping is enough to bring out the catechins.

Drinking tea is generally safe, with a few caveats. In large amounts, it can interfere with blood clotting and thus may interact with the drug warfarin (Coumadin) and other blood thinners.

The best way of course to get the catechins and other flavonoids in tea is to drink it freshly brewed. Decaffeinated, bottled ready-to-drink (regular and diet) tea preparations, and instant teas have less of these compounds. An ever refreshing way to start your day, choose from either ice tea or warm lemontea for additional health benefits.

agree totally with cristina. and when i was in a situation myself, it hurts all the time.


What do my good friends think of....: click here to read the entire thread »

First and foremost, I would like to thank God who gave me life and is keeping me alive day after day.
I would like to thank my parents for giving me their love and support throughout these years. They have given me so much and been of inspiration to me. They thought me to respect myself and others and how to love.

My sisters who has been there whenever I needed them, when I was in need of a shoulder to cry on. From my older sister I learned how to make the best out of what you have, and my younger one, that there's no boundaries where love is concerned! Thank you so much girls... I love you lots!

A great big hug and thanks to all my friends who were there when I needed reassurances in life... when I thought that my life was going to end, but with their support I got through the bad things and am now a stronger person.

My teachers in school, ex collegues and my ex boss, who was so inspiring and helped me to reach a goal in life. He was the one who pushed me in my career.

Then I would like to thank my ex boyfriend, even though our relationship ended in some tears, I learned how life can be difficult at times, but we can still see sunshine through the storms.

Finally, I would love to give a great big thank you to all my friends here on CS. I met a lot of amazing people, whom help me a lot when I am feeling low.

Thank you all!!!
