RE: Ruminations on Our Amazing Bodies

All very interesting,regeneration of some parts of the body are very rare as seen by modern tecnology and transplants,all of which are NOT successful!!! but surely as the years pass more cures for serious illness will be found,i have both kidneys NOT WORKING, and have dialisis 3 times a week for 4 hours each visit,its only 9 months i have this treatment, it keeps me alive but its a long way from normal lifestyle,i am a little disapointed about people in general have heard the word dialisis but know very little about it.i am still enjoying life when i have good days,my age is 70 which excludes me from a transplant, and is correct that many young people who have to have this treatment have first chance of a transplant.
sorry if my reply is not connected directly with your subject, but i would like to give new year wishes to all dialisis patients, nurses and doctors who are doing there very best to make our lives as normal as possible.
Thank you all who have taken a few minutes to read my reply.
A happy new year to all at C.S.

RE: Religion - why does it infiltrate our every day li

being a non believer in religion, i think that respect for all religions is importatant, but when wars are fought in the name of religion its difficult for me to believe in a peacefull world, yes it is important in a relationship, i have friends here in Italy from many different countries, i would never argue with another even though i dont agree, live and let live, but dont make war!!!!!!!

RE: Its About Time ............to Micro Chip...

Virgo, 2 years ago when another 15 year old went missing on the TV they discussed what could be done to safeguard the kids, i sent an email to the programe, the reply was, "its not a suitable moment to talk about tracking devices" they are crazy!!!!!

RE: IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

Hi, being an alien myself in italy,i have no reason to invent anything!even at my age

RE: Its About Time ............to Micro Chip...

Hi Virgo, i have been thinking about the same thing lately, here they put tracking devices on dogs!!! they are small and can be inserted in clothes, bags, etc, so many kids are lost these days, mobile phones are not the best because the bad guys throw it away or destroy it, with tracking devices the signal can be traced on either mobile or computer, its possible to hear an alarm if the device goes out of a certain distance etc, i would have thought that more parents would use technology to keep safer their kids.

RE: Having fun

clearing away the snow so the dogs can go out to do a pee!!!!!

RE: My move to Spain, Part 1.

Hi zmountainman,good luck for your new adventure,i made a move to Italy 20 years ago when houses were cheap and to live cost very little,now i am thinking of moving again! my pension is no longer enough to live well,my next destination? looking seriously at Bulgaria,next spring i will decide, cant wait long as the years are passing by.

RE: Old Cars or New Cars

Hi Virgo, i would like to find an E-type 3.8 to restore, i did drive one many years ago and loved it, maybe when i sell this big house i will search for it.

RE: Tired of christmas.

Its a symbolic date,the calender wasnt even invented, and the true date could be wrong by several years,and like many other celebrations has become to comercialised and away from its true meaning,its time to take a step back and to help more other people.

RE: Be grateful...

Morg, Tange, what a fantastic christmas for you,best wishes to you both.

RE: Speaking the universal language...

RE: Speaking the universal language...

Hi Tange, better ask my girlfriend,

RE: LETS RIDE THE TIDE

Hi Livein, The south coast of England is beautifull, and i knew where to find the quite places,then my life changed direction, to escape from the rat race,20 years now in Italy and love it,the people,culture,slow life style, every morning i wake to the sound of a waterfall close to my house,with the advantage of being only 30 mins from the sea.

RE: LETS RIDE THE TIDE

44 years i lived walking distance from the sea, then transfered to the mountains of Italy, away from the crowds,to clean air and silence.

RE: This past year.

Hi Sweet, my ex girlfriend in England had the same op, it took her a while for her body to adjust, for a lovely lady

RE: Terrific weekend !

what a great weekend you had Jim, photos of the Eagle eating a squirrel will surely make you some money,+ the enjoyment of being in such a wonderfull place, here its been thunder storms most of the weekend and +16 c ,

RE: Free at last !

its not a case of being guilty or innocent. IF THERE IS REASONABLE DOUBT, any person should be freed. now there is talk of reopening the case of "Rudy" the suposed killer of "Meradith".as usual the chaos in the legal systen continues in Italy.

RE: Free at last !

Hi Jim. when there are lawyers who hide evidence from the courts, as happened in a recent case, what chance is there of a fair trial.+ every case is on TV every day of the week with so called experts, in this way you are prejudged guilty od innocent before the case is heard. For Amanda public opinion found her guilty.

RE: What is your way?

Your welcome Tange,i have been here a while now, i dont write very often.but read a lot. my time is taken writing to my lady. lets hope all goes well for me and you.

RE: Free at last !

As i have lived in Italy for 20 years i have seen so many times injustice from the Italian courts, the problems are many, starting from the investigation of the crime,there does not exist a procedure of investigation,which is done in a very unprofessional way, in the case of Amanda there was only contaminated biological evidence!! the mistakes being discovered 4 years later!!! i have no Trust in the Italian courts. the LIE, which is written on every courtroom says "THE LAW IS EQUAL FOR EVERYONE"
