America certainly has some amazing places to explore. I haven't been to Michigan, but I am assured there are some amazing places. I loved Texas, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming ... and a few other states. The parks there are just beautiful.
I have called Mike many things, but never a 'brush'... hmmm, not sure what to make of that... Use him for my hair?
I recall once when I was in Texas with a friend and he suggested going 'hiking' ... I looked at him and said, "Bushwalking, you mean?"... He laughed at me and told me I was a weird Australian.
I often have to drive up the freeway to go past this, and I have wanted to stop and take photos for weeks now. Alas, it's a no-no stopping on a freeway. AND they have been working on the area, so usually it's restricted. This last weekend, I thought I would try the subsidiary road as I was in Morwell for an appointment.
May I suggest you invite your family, even if they say no... My brother married a Scottish lady several years back and we were not invited. Later when we asked him about it, he excused his behaviour by saying the flights were expensive. Both my oldest brother and I could afford to have travelled for it.
If your family does say no, at least you have included them. :)
... the crux of the issue here is that people do in face misconstrue things. Quoting yourself earlier---" Love is impulsive...compatibility nowhere in the sight at the point of time."
This is personal experience and therefore it's based on your personal emotive response. What if someone were to meet at a dance night, both individuals were passionate about dancing... and there was physical attraction as well. Compatibility might well be quite high considering they met at an event that they were both passionate about.
iotaoo... Love is impulsive? Whilst it can be, it is not wholly defined by that. Look at your love of nature, the love of a child, the love of a friend...
If you look the definition of 'love' ... I don't believe the word 'impulsive' is mentioned. That is attributed by personal experience by individuals.
Anger can incite one to act, to respond... It's not a completely wasted emotion. I would hope that anger incites someone to intervene when a person is being hurt... or if they are being discriminated against.
Although , I do believe it needs to be contained quickly or it can impair judgement.
Bushwalking
It was a lovely day out, Z.This area has lovely trees, but it simply depends on what area of Australia you live in. Beach areas have scrub-like trees.
... Although I must say, a tea party sounds lovely!
