RE: Does temperament matter?

There was some research I read a fair while ago about something similar.

In studying plane crashes and sinking ships a group found (figures may not be precise but as best as I can recall) that under conditions of severe duress about %25 of people are pro-active in finding a solution, around %55 will follow decisions made and twenty percent will just be frozen with fear. It didn't go into personality types or character traits though.

RE: the treatment of my soul

Ah the mournful minors. Best enjoyed with a bottle or two of whiskey.

RE: the treatment of my soul

I find when I'm playing the guitar time stops and I'm transported to a place where everything is alright in the world. It brings me comfort I guess. To not need nothing more than the instrument and just being in the moment is kind of a therapy in a way.

RE: have a wonderful weekend

I'm off to Kathmandu in the morning.

Hope your cat mends quickly, Cali.

How very nice to see all you folks

RE: hidden meanings

Hey choco. Must be hard to be so far away from everyone right now but nice to know the family is rallying for each other.

Return of The Three

Pity, I would have liked to see what it is you do.

Parti - You are a man ahead of your time. It's Thursday, isn't it?

Lazly - My cover is blown. I am really here on CS to steal progressive business ideas like egg farming.

RE: PAPA-FIT-VITE-VIP-Mobil

I like ya bike guadal. I would ride it with a helmet that has a little red wind fan thingy on it.

Lazly - What type of business would you like to have?

Return of The Three

Sounds great el. Let me know where you are going at some point and see if we can't find a guitar, pool cue or beer somewhere.

Return of The Three

Aye aye, captain - Pool,drinking and travel. Doesn't get much better than that.

RE: Japans Nuclear Disaster may kill us all

Yes, she would have to own a fall-out shelter in the Seychelles.

Hi there funlaugh - I think there will probably be a few "on here" answers for Friday night. I think we should all make dancing with someone other than ex's or family members a goal as well.

Hi Lachi - I'm so excited for you going to Thailand, and that sounds like a long day at work.

Hey marlene - Him? how very nice. Anyone we know ?

RE: under Anesthesia

Anyone who works with people all day, especially in health related fields, has my respect.

I wouldn't have the patience for those types of patients.

Feels like it sometimes, parti.

RE: Come to my dinner party

You have just sent a man that has been living on dehydrated food for the last 5 weeks to heaven. Thank you, thank you so very much.

Oh my goodness, I just read the menu again. Sublime.

Yes, I've checked. You are looking/growing younger. I'm just checking flights to Bulgaria.


Now wouldn't THAT be a fun thing to do - a CS Blogs world tour.

Ariel - You are another gifted with the look of youth. Your most recent photo actually has you looking younger than normal. I'm going to look at your profile as I believe you are in asthetic regress - or something like that. You seem to have reversed aging, I mean.

Yeah lachi - Not far at all. It's some time since I've been there and things may have changed in the town itself, but the caves close by and the little valley it is in is pretty. Great food there as well.

Choco - some may be a little envious of your,um, increased proportions, but I do understand the loss of energy with age. maybe we need to be more active as we age.

Hi Amalia - Having spent some time in Asia I have noticed some cultures do place more responsibility on children than others perhaps and as a consequence, in certain ways, these children grow up well before their time. I guess there has to be a balance though, like everything. A little partying and exploring should be alright when you are young. Lord knows your body makes it harder as you get older to do those things.

North Thailand is great, I think you'll love it. A little place called Pai in the North I really like. Hard to beat the southern island beaches though.

It happened overnight

Nope, not comin back.

Hey lachi - I wonder how much rest it will take to have me looking 30 again.

Just booked my flight to Nepal, arrive this Sunday.

Can I send you anything, chica? Some tea,or a flute? Maybe some incense? Big strong Swedish mountain climber?

It happened overnight

I can hardly wait, Cali. I can hardly wait.

Reminds me of an old joke.

What's the worst thing about having a colostomy bag?
Finding the shoes to match.

An observer of the highest calibre you are Rbrt.

Hi Jules - If I could have an age in which to relive, I think it would be thirty or thirty something. Ah, good times. Old enough to know some things but young enough to ignore them if I chose.

RE: A Stranger in a Stranger Land

Living in developing countries can be challenging to say the least, but these countries also offer a great deal for the individual to learn if the person has an inclination to do so.

I really enjoyed Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, a bit of classic SciFi.
