RE: a bright new day

Thank you, Tatami... I am lazy. If I get my nails manicured... I don't have to do anything myself.


So, did you have a wonderful birthday?

... and then the sun comes out

Hello Fotinia,

I still recall the night you and I drank a few glasses. Ahhhh... It's always better to drink with someone.

Yes, I found it a bit sad and yet I was so proud of where my nephew is... he has been hired by the company he wanted to be hired by, he did well at school, his achievements are many... He is a remarkable young man... and yet, I truly struggled as he drove away yesterday.

... and then the sun comes out

@Bogart... What can I say... you bring out the best in me

@KNenagh... Finding that balance, or ... more accurately, accepting that balance is what I need to learn. I have a lot of positive areas in my life, balanced by some areas I need to work on. Although I must say that having a day off today was wonderful!

Good luck with settling... I moved around so much for years that I crave that settled homelife.

@Ed... often I blog and return the following morning, because of the time difference. In my head it is bad manners to not respond, so I will always try to respond to any comments directed at me.

Thank you for coming in and sharing your experiences. It's hard letting go sometimes.

... and then the sun comes out

@Ummka... I realise that time slips through our fingers, but it's difficult to accept when you realise that things are about to change irrevocably.

@Catfoot... Oh come on...do tell!!

@ Hans... Truth be told , tonight I moved to Drambuie.

... and then the sun comes out

Oh my god, Martha... I just watched a young man perform that song on 'The Voice' and I got all teary and now you share it.

Thank you.

RE: Lending A Hand

Thank you for explaining. Best if I go back to the beginning though and learn to say hello.

So much for me to learn...

RE: Lending A Hand

'oom' and 'tannie' ? So, how would you define these? (Yes, this is a language lesson... I must know the basics )

... and then the sun comes out

I have enough to share if you like Obs.

I didn't get that feeling with my own daughter when she left, Obs...but with my niece and nephew...there are these overwhelming feelings Thank you for making me at least seem normal.

RE: Lending A Hand

Thank you for explaining, Cat. I love learning about other cultures. So wait, does this mean I can call you Uncle? I should check your age, you might become "Uncle Cat"

RE: Lending A Hand

Can I help the uncle? I am curious, this is a language thing... an Uncle would be someone you are related to here???

RE: Mole not mull or mule

Oh how cute! I want one of those

... and then the sun comes out

I am not sure I want to make it to the summit. I want to remember what it took to make it to the top, the journey.

Thank you though, Non.

RE: Do average, sane, serious people respond to blog p

I believe 'Z' has covered it rather well. Each person is different and will join the blogs within their own level of comfort. We make decisions on where and when we will interact, but then... we do that offline too.

RE: I have a question for the lady,s !!!!

So, how DO you look in that maid's outfit??!

RE: I have a question for the lady,s !!!!

Geez Market, if you are going to put a maids uniform on... My house needs cleaning too.

RE: I have a question for the lady,s !!!!

Ropes binding you is simply an illusion. They will eventually free you and you will move past this... With every door that closes, a window opens...

RE: I have a question for the lady,s !!!!

Sometimes even though we know the answer, we still ask the question... that's what we call 'hope'.

With time you will put this behind you, and make new friends.

RE: I have a question for the lady,s !!!!

Market, I am not one to beat around the bush... that's why I work in the field I do. I am very sorry to hear you are hurting though...

RE: I have a question for the lady,s !!!!

Without wishing to hurt your feelings, Market... She has moved on, and my guess is she is not responding because she is in a relationship and does not want to compromise that relationship.

As for the gifts, I purchase gifts for my friends randomly, without an 'occasion' as an excuse... and they do the same for me. At no point have I ever taken it out of the context of friendship.

...sorry, I don't believe I am much help to you here.

RE: a bright new day

Happy Birthday, Tatami.

RE: Genetic Engineering.

Cat, I relaxed so much that I went to bed. I came home from Melbourne last night.... had a glass of wine and slept in my own bed. And ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh MY god, it was so good.

RE: Genetic Engineering.

Oh come now, Hans... it's all in fun.

But you are right, let's return to genetic engineering and continue to destroy what nature created.

RE: you learn something everyday.....

Delatude, I have no doubt that it's because you are sensitive to other peoples needs. But ... Market did not seem the least put out by our comments. In fact, we should have asked him to join us for a wine...

RE: Genetic Engineering.

I was joking.


... Kinda

RE: Genetic Engineering.

Hans! What do I say to that! I thought I would share the wine...and what do YOU focus on...the nails!

RE: Genetic Engineering.

Indeed. But let's drink to that, shall we?

RE: Genetic Engineering.

Ahhh for me, they have always been... How ridiculous that I lost that will to live dangerously.

RE: Genetic Engineering.

I would have offered you a wine, but I don't really know you very well... and drinking with a man often has implications

RE: Genetic Engineering.

Let's see, I might have a bottle or two of that on hand...but usually I don't drink. Tonight I thought I might have a tipple.

RE: DONT JUdge A BOOK by it,s COVER.....

Oh but I like attractive covers! Obviously the pages inside have to be enthralling, yes?
