In what has to be one of the biggest yet slowest reported news items of the week\year so far -

The mayor of Cologne has summoned police for crisis talks after about 80 women reported s*xual assaults and muggings by men on New Year's Eve,The scale of the attacks on women at the city's central railway station has shocked Germany. About 1,000 drunk and aggressive young men were involved. City police chief Wolfgang Albers called it "a completely new dimension of crime". The men were of Arab or North African appearance, he said. Women were also targeted in Hamburg. Most of the crimes reported to police were robberies.

What is particularly disturbing is that the attacks appear to have been organised. Around 1,000 young men arrived in large groups, seemingly with the specific intention of carrying out attacks on women. A volunteer policewoman was among those sexually molested.

Police in Hamburg are now reporting similar incidents on New Year's Eve in the party area of St Pauli. One politician says this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Copy pasted from a BBC news report in order that I don't get accused of putting a slant on it.

At FB these days people make a lot of postings about Christmas just like “I hate it to be broke, no money for the xmas shopping”, “I go crazy, don’t know what to do first to prepare everything for xmas”, “today started baking cookies for xmas but hubby ate them right away, could start again” and so on. Everyone’s complaining about money, shopping, preparations, they complain about people that say “happy holidays” but not “merry Christmas”, they complain about everything.

When I asked some of them “why do you complain about all these things, you’re the lucky one” they asked me if I’m crazy. NO, I’m not, I answered. I wish I would have all those problems, and if only for just one Christmas. Then they asked me if I’m on drugs or if I missed a date with my psychiatrist. NO, I answered. Not at all.

Doesn’t matter if I’m broke or not I don’t have anyone to buy a Christmas present for.

I don’t need to prepare something for Christmas cause I’ll spend it all alone, just like every year. The only company I’ll have are my dogs, my PC, my TV and my couch. Nobody to have party with, nobody to hug, nobody to talk to… except my clients who are crying on the phone that they are alone at Christmas and need me to talk to.

The only cookies I’m baking are some doggy treats and except my dogs nobody will eat them.

It will be just another day, nothing special…neither a happy holiday nor a merry Christmas. I’ll get up, have my cup of coffee, go outside with the dogs, work, take a walk with the dogs, make dinner for the three of us, maybe watch a stupid film on TV, work again and later on I’ll go to bed. That’s all. It will be just a usual day like all the other 364 days of the year.

So, tell me, who’s the lucky one???

Communication is a strange thing!
Sometimes it can (mis)lead us to such a maze of misunderstanding... It can even spoil a relationship that has been built for months/years. The more you try to clear up and explain things the more you get drown in the quicksand of a new misunderstanding. Eventually things may end up with mutual mistrust, disappointment, and bitterness.

What to do? Sometimes the better communication is the reduced communication: less explanations, less misunderstanding. A couple of simple sincere words can bring us back to the safe ground of the trust and understanding. Leaving the extreme stubbornness and pride helps too

In this vast universe, we're but tiny speck.
Millions of galaxies out there.

Question is: ARE WE ALONE?

Thanks all for your reads.

I truly appreciate.

Have a good day/night/evening.

We read about sex changes all the time and debate the morality of it even more. I’m not talking about corrective surgery when life dealt somebody a bad hand and both organs are present. I’m talking about apparent dead normal people wanting to change their gender. People who had several relationships with the opposite gender.

Should such surgery be allowed? And would you marry a person after he/she had a sex change?

But my biggest question is; does the alteration of the external appearance of organs change your gender? What about the internal workings and hormones produced by your body? Can a person really claim to be a man or a woman just based on the altered appearance of their genitals or does it go a bit deeper?

Surely the role you take in s*xual activity does not determine your gender. Is it not the part you play in reproduction that determines your gender?

Gender Dysphoria is a condition where a person experiences discomfort because there appears to be a mismatch between their genitals and gender identity. It is a recognized medical condition and not a mental illness. It is not the same as transvestism or cross-dressing and is not related to s*xual orientation. People with the condition may identify as straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual or asexual, and this may change with treatment.


Have a monster of a day.

Yesterday I posted comments on blogs stating that in my opinion people have been brainwashed as far as religion goes, today I read that after a break of 5 years the Turin Shroud is to go back on view, now as I recall the item was proved to be a fake & not even the church claim it to be real, in which case case why have a million people booked to go & see it why would anyone want to view a dirty old sheet from person or persons unknown

I was caught in an unexpected shower the other day while taking a short walk. Within minutes I was drenched. Although it was a sunny day the wind was quite strong and I was chilled to the bone by the time I got home.

And now I have a cold… in summer!

We planned to go fishing tomorrow, but I guess that will have to wait now.

Yech.


Wish you all a great day. I'll be spending the day in bed with my laptop.

Whilst posting a new profile picture I noticed that the old one had accumulated 11 comments I haven't checked for comments in over a year so it was a pleasant surprise to see I had some but what was really amazing was the incredible coincidence that they all have the same profile name I didn't even know you could have more than one member with the same name but for some reason "Profile Deleted" seems to be a really popular name I think having so many members with this name could present problems but I see from the problem solving chart that there's nothing to worry about

But can't remember what. When the chips are down & you're memory's shot, you need to keep as cool as a cucumber, being as keen as mustard won't bring home the bacon, it's just hard cheese, getting old isn't a movable feast, that's the way the cookie crumbles & thinking it will improve is just pie in the sky, no point in having sour grapes over it, the salad days are gone & your memory will no longer be toast of the town, the difference in it now is like chalk & cheese & it'll never be in apple pie order again so just say cheese it may be jam tomorrow, Oh yes I remember what I'm supposed to be doing.........cooking dinner

I play a lot of scrabble and joined a club. Its all women and I'm the only man.
I've been told not to worry about size, as squeezing a small one into the right slot at the correct time can yield quite the score,
and leave the the Woman opposite quite hot and flustered.
And a fast quick lay can even double the pleasure if it touches the on the right spot.
But most of all, I enjoy the expression of anticipation
as a some what shy lady is about to play with her triples.

Ladies what way do you like to score ?
Loads of short quick ones.!
On the triples or just maybe adding a little something to the end of a long one.
Maybe you do all Three

Either way play safe
