Chinese Zodiac Compatibility -

Happy New Year Of The Monkey, Y'all!

What with all the blogs on the Chinese New Year, I became curious if the Chinese Zodiac could be used to predict compatibility between people.

This is CONNECTING Singles, you know. roll eyes

I figured if this could be done, the information would surely be on the 'net...
and of course it is! grin

Simply search -

Chinese Zodiac Compatibility

Enter your birthdate and that of a prospective partner.
VOILA!
You'll find out if you and your intended are...
Star-ordained...hug heart wings grin
or
Star-crossed...devil very mad blues

You are, of course, free to decide whether or not there is any validity to this.

If the Zodiac predicts wonderful things for you...
professor
Chinese are really smart people. This system has been developed and refined over millennia; it embodies the wisdom of the ages.

If the Zodiac predicts things NOT so wonderful...
mumbling
This is stupid superstitious nonsense.

Have fun and...Happy New Year Y'all!

WATCH: The Anti-Migrant Video Going Viral Across Europe - Breitbart

Many points of view are expressed in the vid. I'm not endorsing any of them.
All comments are welcome.
I'd be especially interested in receiving comments from people living in Europe.
Is this an accurate depiction of events?
Is it fear-mongering?
Is it, in fact, "Going Viral Across Europe"?

IS THIS SITE REAL? DOES ANYBODY MEET SOMEBODY HERE

It is rare to go more than a couple weeks or so without someone posting a blog with that title (or something similar).

Typically, the disgruntled blogger then launches into now-familiar gripes...
devilvery mad

"No one on this site is real!" blues

"All my mail comes from scammers!" moping

"I try to mail/flower women/men with decent sounding profiles...
I'm ignored. sigh
Or blocked." crying

Am I saying those things don't happen?
of course not!

Yes, this site attracts scammers like ants to a picnic!
devil
No doubt about it. very mad

So picnics attract ants. dunno
Does that mean you quit enjoying picnics?
I think NOT! scold

Just keep the scammers in perspective.
Think of them as the ants at the CS picnic.

(Scammers & ants -
a peculiarly apt comparison...
wouldn't you agree? very mad)

Anyway...to answer the questions posed in this blog's title...
Not only yes...
HELL yes! peace

I (miclee) joined CS nearly 1 1/2 years ago.
Sent out flowers...emails.
Some ignored.
Some not interested because...
(Name your reason. Not enough room to list.)
Some started talking...moved on...

(Scammers & all that, you know! mumbling)

After some time e-mailing...

What to do?? confused

Ask for her phone number?
Hmmm...Might be thought a scammer.
& never hear from her again. blues

idea Give HER MY phone number...
"Want to call?...Like to hear from you!
Want to keep it on CS?...that's O.K. too!"

WORKED!! yay

She called!

(Honey, do this.

Things that might've been put off...
simply because it'd be easier to do them with a guy around...
(Strong back. flex Weak mind. roll eyes )

Worked on the gas grill...
rewarded with great food. burger

Having GREAT TIME.

Gotta go. gotta go
I got me a "Honeydew list"! grin
(Best part about being given a "Honeydew List"?

Gun Control & Syrian Refugees - European Style...

Recent News Items...
President Obama has said he wants the U.S. to take in 10,000+ Syrian refugees in 2016.
Hillary Clinton has said she supports U.S. gun control laws similar to those of Australia/Western Europe.

Gun Control & Syrian Refugees...
Soooo........Europe?.......How's that workin' out for ya?!

More News Items...
In response to the influx of Syrian refugees, Europeans are rushing to arm themselves like never before.

In Austria - where gun control laws are among the least restrictive - it is now almost impossible to buy a gun. They've been cleaned out. Quite likely, many will be re-sold in more restrictive countries - at black market prices.

European women are buying a substantial proportion of the firearms.

Some Belgians are now calling for repeal of restrictive gun laws.

The Foods of Autumn

For those residing in the Northern Hemisphere, days are now growing shorter and the air crisper. Frost either has, or soon will, end our growing season; snow will soon blanket our gardens. It is, in a word, Autumn.

We mourn the passing of Summer. We console ourselves with favorite comfort foods, some of which have been handed down in families over several generations. We have holidays celebrating nature's gifts of the harvest season: Halloween, Harvest Home, Thanksgiving, Twelve Days of Yuletide.

As we enter this season of food, it would be good for us to share some those foods with CS friends. We might also share memories or family traditions associated with these foods.

Many of these memories may involve a long ago passed grandmother filling an old house with aromas sweet and savory, possibly while using a long ago replaced wood fired range. Others may be more odious; of children encouraged (forced?) to "confirm" their family lineage by consuming ethnic foods which might be most charitably described as, well, unusual.

To get things going I'll offer up MIC'S BARBECUED TURKEY:

Start with a pan suitable to the size of the turkey (or other fowl), and a covered outdoor barbecue.

Prepare a whole bird exactly as you would for oven roasting. Place the bird in the pan and add apple cider nearly to the top of the pan. Load the grill generously with charcoal (the process takes quite some time, depending on the bird's size; adding fuel isn't a really good option). Add chips of apple or other wood for flavor, if desired.

Establish a good bed of coals. Place the pan in the barbecue and cover. Open the vents about 1/3. (May vary by barbecue model.) Cover and allow the bird to cook for the time appropriate to its size. (I've done 20+ lb. turkeys.) OR, if using a pop up timer inserted in the bird, it is very reliable with this cooking method. RESIST temptation to open the barbecue frequently to check progress. This loses heat and extends the cooking time. DO check the cider level after cooking for quite some time. Replenish as necessary to keep the pan from running dry of cider.

The cooking should be done slowly. Ideally, the skin will not scorch, but take on a color resembling the patina of an antique gold pocket watch.

Collect the cider/drippings from the pan and use it as the base for making gravy, using variations according to taste.

That's the recipe. Here's the story:

Men carry a gene that draws them instinctively to fire. If you have a large group, the men WILL congregate around the barbecue. Often enjoying beer pointing PBR.

This frees the entire indoor range - oven & stove top - for the women to prepare pies, veggies & other side dishes. More importantly, It gets the men the hell out of the kitchen so they can do so in peace. Often enjoying wine pointing Cabernet Sauvignon. laugh

Have fun! I'm looking forward to some great food & stories! beer pointing PBR Yep. cowboy

HAPPY REDHEAD DAYS, Y'ALL!

Yep. This weekend is dedicated to the World's Smallest Minority...people with naturally red hair. We comprise about 2% or so of Earth's human population - though some might dispute that "human" part. laugh

There are actually several days celebrating Redheads (aka - Gingers) in several lands. Roodharigendag (Redhead Day) celebrated in Breda, Netherlands seems to be taking on a more international aspect. The festival kicks off this evening, and upwards of 5,000 Gingers & 30,000 spectators (Ginger wannabes?) Are expected to take in a wide variety of related activities. Group photos from past years are on the 'net. The Images of thousands of assembled Gingers is quite amazing! wow

Gingers have been variously celebrated applause or maligned very mad throughout history. Any of y'all having Ginger mythology, jokes, or stories are encouraged to share them in the comments below.

Where do Gingers come from?

"While the rest of the species descended from monkeys, redheads derived from cats." cats meow
So said Mark Twain...who was Ginger.

Who might be America's most revered Ginger? Certainly George Washington would have to be a contender. Yep. George Washington. Father of the Country. Ginger! professor

Have fun, y'all! And HAPPY REDHEAD DAYS! gingerbread

(Special thanks to Mimi for bringing Redhead Days to my attention. beer )

Full Moon occurs on Friday the 13th!

This concurrence has not occurred since 2000. It will not occur again until 2049. The Canadian Government has alerted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police that a celebration is planned to take place at Wreck(!) Beach in B.C. So, what, if any, plans (or precautions) have YOU made to in preparation for this momentous event? grin - cheers - drinking ...OR...wow - uh oh - blues

Should "Peace" organizations participate in Memori

Monday is Memorial Day in the United States. Communities across the country will hold events commemorating those who died in all our nation's wars. Some communities allow various peace groups to participate in these events, some do not. I am interested in hearing people's comments on the subject. I do have my personal views but, for now anyway, I'm interested in what others have to say, and will withhold my personal input. In that spirit, I hope I have worded the Title and Post objectively in order to encourage people with varying viewpoints to comment. Thank you for your opinions.
