RE: Over or under

Not educating, just sharing my personal toilet etiquette

RE: Over or under

Abby, I rather don't go into details. Since I've lived in an Asian country I'm going with a toilet shower, a bidet or when not available wet tissues. They come in single sheets so no headache about the over or under thing.

RE: Over or under

Never mind the over or under - the use of it in general is revolting to me.

RE: Terrorism is just a part of our daily lives

Hi Lindsy

I think it's about the West getting back what they've given out.

Approx. 3'000 Americans died in 9/11.
Approx. 1'500'000 innocent Iraqis died during the US invasion for something they didn't do.
The list could go on and on.

I feel what we're facing now is our own creation. We're all one and what we do to another we do to ourselves.

I feel we all need to wake up, take responsibility, apologize and through forgiveness allow all to heal:




Last but not least, I feel one of the greatest commandment "You shall love your neighbour as yourself" lived may serve us all better than praying.

leave not live

RE: Moving to another city/country

Great blog! I recall that out of my 13 years living on Bali I've spend the first 3 years having a nervous breakdown and wanting to pack up and live on a two weekly basis Moving back to Switzerland was even more challenging since packing up and leaving wasn't even an option.
Someone, somewhere said once: "A mind expanded to new dimensions will never return to its original state" and I feel that's exactly what happen to people who have lived in different cultures and places. At least that's what happen to me and now I've to go and prepare for the Nyeppie celebration..

RE: jealous

Does he know you're on here looking for long term? Just asking.

RE: OLDER MEN AND YOUNGER WOMEN.

My last partner was 28 years older and I was proud to be and walk at his site.
Except when hiking to Angels landing (Zion National park USA) he had to leave me behind because I couldn't make it to the very top

RE: Alcohol And Drugs

Are you sure you're smoking weed and not grass over there in Canada? Just kidding. Trust there's a big difference in quality around.

RE: European Updates: Good to be single, hey!!!!!!

I've survived dengue fever twice - worst experience ever
Given the fact That it has an incubation time of 4 to 14 days and So many people travelling around the globe it amazes me it's not yet a worldwide thread.

RE: "CHRISTMAS EVE" "SILENT NIGHT"

I remember that scene from the movie "war horse" they sang and played ball after they united to untangle the horse out of the army wire. That scene gave me tears. What am I talking about, I cried all the way through the real life movie.

RE: Would any women be interested?????

Sands, you totally got me on that one! I was wondering for a while how and why you misspelled peeps

RE: Would any women be interested?????

Why paying if we can get one of those on here for free?

RE: Non Christians And Non Believers

Lindsy
I feel it's a cultural thing for non believers to celebrate Xmas. It's handed down from one generation to the next without people thinking or questioning anything or anybody about it.

I've just had a discussion with my son why the heck we had to have a Xmas tree. I'd have to take up with the spilling needles in the living room until after new year when the town would come around to collect it, or better what's left of it, while he wont do be the favour of going to Xmas mess in the local church. I've even left it up to him to pick one of the local churches.
I do believe in a god and I don't follow any organized religion. Guess that makes me a believer without a religion.
No doubt, I can suspend my disbelief for an evening and participate respectfully in an Xmas mess. After all, if I've to fiddle around with a tree taller than myself, a stupid stand and all the needles I may as well grasp some of the true meaning, history and foremost spirit behind it.

I do shake my head when talking to younger children, they all seem to know everything about Santa and nothing about the three kings. Strange times we live in indeed.

My folks are great and we get together a lot. Well, in summer time that is. We're all more the outdoor-barbecue kind of people and that's literally put on ice for a few months to come

RE: Worry

Cocheta, I was surprised to see I was the fastest typist

RE: Non Christians And Non Believers

Great blog!
I've just had a loud rant today to my mother about how much I hated this Xmas consumerism and the fact that even not one person in our family was believing in the bible had to use it as a reason (or excuse?) to get together. I suggested to have a monthly get together over a simple meal in rotating homes. Even though the whole family lives close by to each other I've not had any feedbacks.

Well, my heart and thoughts go out to sales personal. Never mind they believe in the Xmas story or not, they seem to be the most suffering right now.

RE: Worry

Is there a reason for your screaming?

RE: Love myself! :)

This blog sure gave me a huge grin from one ear to the other - so happy that you've finally reached this point.
Enjoy your days at the pool while I turn up the heating system


In case you ever need a reminder to this blog:

RE: "AWAKENING"

I feel the only way to get to know somebody is in real life. Blogs and comments only give a feeling about/for a person.
We paint a picture of another person based on our awareness and perception of their words and behaviour on the blogs.

I've only ever met one regular blogger in real life - the picture I've had drawn myself of him was irresistible - he turned out to be the person I've had imagined him to be and much better because then he even had a voice and a great laughter.

Guess, it's a about being a good judge of character and ones drawings skills

Plenty of Kindness all around me - what I send out always comes back to me.

We always have a choice in all our interactions between being right or being kind. By chosing to be kind and you'll bring more peace into this world

RE: Christmas Card For a 5-year-old

Thank you for sharing.. I'm off and to the post office

RE: Death of a best friend

What a wonderful obituary! Thank you for sharing, I feel you.
I do believe in reincarnation and I'm looking forward to be reunited with my cat and dogs. I doubt I'll have any again in this life - too painful to loose such special souls.

RE: "DEFENDING HER FEELINGS"

I resonate with you and don't even try to figure out about who this is. Thanks for stepping up for her!
