Anyone heading to trinidad?

Hi Ed
I read between the lines at that blog.It is much healthier to surround yourself with family values.I know that as mature adults our friendships are less sidetracking than during our coming of legal age.Many people are experiencing the isolation and backlash of partying too hard,or never became a prodigal son.God Welcomed You and answered the prayers of all involved.My family is reforming now that the twins turned 26 and are putting that behind them.

$$$$$$$$$$ kid/from birth-(can legally emancipate at 16 yrs)
AND $$$$$$$$$$:college,car,housing,addiction,loans,jail bond,unemployment,wedding and the grandchild,medical,dental emergencies(bills)= cost of supporting one CS Scammer/year


My largest debt was brief (5yrs?):paid off my college loan.

What are typical daily expenses outside the US.?

Did you know the earliest birth year for your profile is 1865? How did CS know -I'm 130 years old.In CS years Catfoot and Zman are older though.

Do you celebrate it with scaring people,pranks or Jedi mind tricks...what have you done and did it ever back fire? I know some old tricks..like turning off the hot water while he/she is showering,putting plastic across the toilet seat so it bounces off,etc.when I had roommates our pranks escalated into year round paybacks.

If you saw my 1st profile info/pics..at Easter (Easter Seals-does anyone remembers that organization) I donated my 12" braids to Locks for Love.
Extra personal info;before I started doing caregiving/hospice for wages-as a young mom I had a few hours to spare and I volunteered at the hospital to read,teach and play with terminally ill children.Their own families were quarantined from them sometimes if a sibling was sick.They had compromised immune systems due to chemotherapy,which kept them isolated from family.Also my older sister is a cancer survivor of over 10 years.

So I am back to resume where I left off,minus my photo.It may appear briefly when I blog (when I'm allowed in about 4 days)as was my practice,that and erasing my blogs after hours or days.I realize there were several couples who have left but I am missing a nature lover and surfer especially.Hope they are well and need some reassurance if someone could provide it.I enjoyed the break from many social media accounts,not just here.I still read blogs on occasion without needing to log in.My laptop crashed and this tablet,hmmm.
Please inform me what's new with you and check back on occassion to read posts/replies.Love, Patti

Hi where are all the middle aged bikers on this site ???

I am just seeking a fun loving guy who has a gentle heart, and knows what he wants out of life. I am seeking someone between the ages of 52 and 60. Someone who knows God and is God fearing. No games, lies, or cheating in this corner.

If you wish to draw/paint for working into that domain, you may have two roads, to take – one is following a school of arts, or being self teacher (with certain risks). The difference between these two could be set from certain angles, as for acquiring some knowledge into certain skill one needs a teacher, a guide; but my personal opinion is that self teaching could be a way to discover yourself (based on a question like – “Ok, but what about the 1st painters? They did not had someone to teach them!” It was not a miracle always that one had the gift of mastering the art of drawing/painting, neither the 1st artist to have someone who taught it – therefore, I do believe that was possible a mastery also not having a teacher – it’s own soul who was a teacher, God was a teacher, nature was a teacher, the universe was a teacher and… even the small pencil, was its teacher! Then, in such roads, one may encounter crossroads. Goes on a path, follows another and so on, till one day either works as a private organization, agency, either works in education domain, under signature, with diplomas or other documents. Yet, even among them, could be found persons who maybe studied hard and never reached anywhere, just because they did not had the opportunity and perhaps their works will be visible after their death. But in that case, of following one of these roads, you have the chance to experience a lot of things – people have many different techniques, when comes about drawing or painting; my personal opinion is that one may have a specific technique as a guidance, but in a certain moment should seek a personal one – old masters had that, if one may study the structures of their paintings. So, one may work in education, one may be self employed – in that aspect, could be also a big deal since there are many “street painters” who actually doesn’t master any technique, or even creating the so-popular term called “Kitsch”. Yet, even that, is their work – doesn’t matter that such a work is best or better, or if values a lot of money or not, or if is well received by public, or if follows a certain structure defined by drawing/painting manuals, or not. It is all about people’s choice!


If you wish to become a master in the art of drawing/painting, prepare yourself for a lot of sacrifices, in the real meaning of word. Such skill requires a huge amount of work, as the word saying “from 1000 bad paintings, comes a good one”. Here is strictly necessary a large study upon the history of arts and variety of techniques, is forbidden to avoid the basic rules of drawing/painting, is extremely necessary a permanent seeking of accuracy, realism and not only – in my personal view, only some people in the history of arts were alike ultimate masters – the classics – but my personal view strictly makes a reference because I love the realism of their paintings, alike the drawings or paintings come alive; I don’t deny the aspects of the impressionists, as I am aware that there was set an accent on leaving emotion traces in the colors, as well as “tricking” the viewer that the things are there, but not there.

FOREWORD











“For me, ART is something beyond my poor meanings of words - my words can define a mountain, even with a large amount of details - yet, the mountain, is not the same with the word representing it.”








Before you draw or paint, you need to establish an objective to be reached. A primary question for you should be: “Why do you want to draw/paint?” The answer will provide you some aspects for determination of the limits you establish right even before to start. Some people could answer that they want to draw/paint for fun or relaxation – in fact, the majority would say that. Others will say that they want to draw/paint for they wish to work or activate in that field. In the end, there is a small percent of people who would draw/paint because they feel that such creativity exists inside them, runs alike the blood through their veins. No matter what answer will be, one needs to know exactly what its goals are. It is your time to ask yourself such a simple question!


If you wish to draw/paint just for fun and relaxation, you maybe won’t expect too much things to happen, concerning a progress in a continue process along years – you will be just satisfied that you found a way to enjoy the free time you get from a daily routine, or it is another way to deal some problems, a possible refuge inside art; maybe you are not much than a simple observer, you don’t need to know history, or too many techniques and in case that happens, is just accidentally, or… you are just happy in the small universe that surrounds you when drawing or painting.

Can anyone enlighten me on the economy stability in Canada pls?.

I'm always struggling with this even in still my 40s. I cane out at 21 and never looked back. However, with that said, I'm wondering how my people are "totally" out to everyone (family / friends / workplace). The world is changing, sure, but Prejudice is still going strong in some areas. So, what are others opinions of being 'out' at the workplace?
