I am bad at every availabe oppotunity.

Yes darlin...you can't make people do something they don't want to.....

'Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.'
-Albert Einstein

Your "limerick" to Limerick made me chuckle

Excellent Tumpa!!! We like clever

She smiles

My living room at the moment is looking good...all facilities nearby seeing as there is a tent pitched in the middle of it

Remnants of 2 little girls having fun today

How long have I been on this site.....about 1.2 million words worth of typing. I'm actually on my 2nd keyboard. It's been worth it. Sometimes the only light in my room is from the glow of the monitor, displaying all the thoughts of people from far and wide. What we need, and it will come someday, is a holographic computer, where we're all visible in 3D. Add touch sensors to our bodies and we all might as well be REAL. Imagine the fun..... who just brushed against me with a taut nipple ? Don't know, there's 28 holograms in my room.

Sighisoura, Romania...birth place of Vlad Tepes (aka Dracula).
In the fall...when smoke is swirling from chimneys stacked on red and green tiled roofs, and you can hear footsteps echoing on the village's cobblestoned streets. Devine!

one day after about a month of PT in my intial recovery
from a spinal cord injury, my shoulder became dislocated.
what a sound it made being uh re-located-

it hurt for days-just my arm hanging on my body-

PT is so great long term and can be really tuff in the short term
but it is encouraging to get to that point-

so ENjoy

watch the junkyard dog!!!

Imagine we could have a heck of a time in a bar.... chatting up the patrons...

good luck, there is nowhere more romantic than a junkyard.... and yes, to a picnic...........

I was thinking that we dedicate songs and quotes to others, but what would we like to hear for ourselves?

The idea has come about because of the song Amazing, by Blue October.........Now remember, it is to yourself, from whoever, and if you haven't found your whoever yet, then your whoever that you want to have......

Amazing, by Blue October...........

How am I supposed to breathe?
I try to relax. I touch your still frame
So I can watch you closer
And study the ways I believe I belong to you
I scratch at your waist line... your doll hair
I dig up the thought of how your eyes glow
So I make you my religion, my collision, an escape goat
So have I found your secret weak spot, baby?

[Chorus]
Can you pretend I'm amazing?
I can pretend I'm amazing...
Instead of what we both know
I cut to the punch line baby
Can you pretend I'm amazing
Instead of what we both know

Now our history is for sale
And for that I apoligize
You see you're my only know how
The study of when I believe I belonged to you
You see I've made you into something delicious,
My sweet ghost
So have I found your secret weak spot, baby?yes..........

I'd say yes, but to somewhere a little more romantic than a junkyard.

So wise James, and true integration means learning the language, and adapting to the culture.

This is why I chose a part of Spain to live where the only expats I meet are teachers like me, or people who live on the coast in their 'Little Britain' communities and come to visit for the day.

I’ve just gone through a couple of situations, one personal and one involving the entire non-management staff where I work, which began with resistance, strong and angry resistance, and ended in bitter acceptance. I watched myself go through the phases of my situation, and I watched my co-workers go through the phases of theirs at the same time. It is interesting how at first there was resistance, anger, self-righteousness (not underserved), frustration, and eventually sad, even sorrowful, acceptance of the inevitable—for my co-workers, there is simply nothing they can do, save quit their jobs, and for me, I have also had to accept I have no choice.

My question is, when do we know it is time to give up on something? When do we continue to fight back? If it is a principle you are fighting for, should you go on fighting even though it may cause damage to your livelihood and security? How important does the principle have to be to go that far? Are we too accepting, in general, we humans, and give in too easily most of the time? Are we too absorbed in our own problems and concerns to notice or care when others are fighting something that is ethically or morally wrong, too self-absorbed to care or help them if it is inconvenient for us?

Great Topic and some interesting responses!

I guess that I would have like to have been around during the American Revolution. I would have signed up with the Continental Marines and fought for a real cause, Freedom. After the war I would have either explored the interior or settled in the Smokey Mountains.

Where in the world is your fav place for a vacation.

Retreat was just a thought
that hid from sunlight.
Day, the marker of time's passage.

Issues unresolved, and piling deep,
questions, all unanswered,
clutter on the threshold of the dawn
while fear waits
for confirmation
and hope stands firm
all cheeky, hands on hips
and stalwart
in the light that threatens
news.
