The midnight sun.............. (88)
FlowerOfTheSnowMalaga, Andalusia Spain23 Threads 2,212 PostsYour apolology would have almost worked if you hadn't added the last line intended to make soft hearted women feel sorry for you! 
But Flower...do you see any soft hearted women around? 
I only see witches 
I only see witches Yeah loads of them! witchy witches that is! 
Life is like a box of choklits - you've obviously got a sweet, gooey, sickly centre! Women feel sorry for me - never! To know me is to want to bite me, dammit.........now this business of the midnight sun cruise.......you ladies need to go when it's the midday night so you can have a 24 hour witching session!
That's on the 23 of june...
It is the day where the medieval wise men and women (the doctors of that time) would gather special herbs that they needed for the rest of the year to cure people.
It has been celebrated since the times of the Vikings, by visiting healing water wells and making a large bonfire to ward away evil spirits. Today the water well tradition is gone. Bonfires on the beach, speeches, picnics and songs are traditional, although bonfires are built in many other places where beaches may not be close by (i.e. on the shores of lakes and other waterways, parks, etc.). In the 1920s a tradition of putting a witch made of straw and cloth (probably made by the elder women of the family) on the bonfire emerged as a remembrance of the church's witchburnings from 1540 to 1693. (Unofficially a witch was lynched as late as 1897.) This burning sends the witch—and by extension, all our cares and worries—away from us, to Bloksbjerg, the mountain 'Brocken' in the Harz region of Germany where the great witch gathering was thought to be held on this day.

Yum! Yum! I've not been to a good witch burning for simply ages! I agree that burning a witch takes away all one's tensions and worries - like a good massage.
I'm such an idiot!
This guy sent me yesterday an e-mail saying "You're too old for me"...you know,"look at me how smart and funny I am" - like.
And what the above-mentioned idiot does?She replies "Well,I guess I won't be in your will,then".
Why nobody told me that rusty knight was Mr. Ritchie Rich in disguise,huh?
His dad just gave him an expensive gift,he throws parties for 500 people in London and that's just the beginning.I bet he has hundreds of stories like that;he's a newcomer,give him some time...
Damn it!! I just missed the opportunity to make him fall in love with me and ask me to marry him.
You see,Ritchie boy,in a couple of years I could have made you adore me (if you were still alive that is
)and,afterwards,I could have left you for another man (with a functional brain,for a change).
What a pity!We could have been so hapy together...
Somebody,please,help me get this silly song* out of my head!
*"Another one bites the dust"

I was kind of wondering if all I saw in his posts was money...
Actually, I was considering "endearing" myself even....

We celebrate it every year, not burning the witch, but more that it's the day they/we 
go to Bloksberg... To the witch reunion...

What a relief! For a minute I mis-understood you there! 
Full house of witches now...you rock girl 
Just wondering, what cruiseline would you be travelling with??
That's too easy Oslo, he's gonna google it
LOL Go and sort him out then, but please do share with us the poison you dump on him 
this is a perfect example of witchy witches powers - you see we did not need much practice to join our knowledge to make it useful and soooooooooo entertaining 
I think it'll be with Huntigrugen (however you spell it) - they have a special offer at the end of August - just because my dad's paying doesn't mean I have to rip him off. I couldn't see any cheap flights to Bergen but I can get a one pence flight to one of the Oslo airports with Ryan Air - then get the train over the mountains to Bergen for about 600 kroner - the cruise starts on the 28th August for 12 days and if I fly out from Malta late on the 26th i can get an early flight on the 27th to Oslo, get across to Bergen and stay overnight there in a hotel. Does that sound sensible to you? I hear that the mountain railway Oslo to Bergen is an experience - is late August too late in the year? I see average maximum temperatures in the day on the coast are about 50F - cool, b ut not freezing.
Picky, you are definatley one fine candidate for the "Top-Notch-Witch of 2007" contest.
You have entertainment value to be envied for. Do you give classes in witty and sharp remarks?
I need to get another hit of FOS'es broth
yummmmmy
There is a hint of caramel, isnt there?
