RE: People Of Japan

Taking a tiny bit of an issue with an implication in your blog, too. Japan's culture stretches back way, way further back than the war. They did not pull themselves together and become a productive and impressive nation in 60 years. There's been much more contact since, yes. But they were in no way backward or undeveloped before. Insular, proud and aggressive, yes, but advanced enough to cause havoc at Pearl Harbour.

Read your history - many speculate about alien life in the universe, and how we would react as a world if aliens suddenly found us. Read the books about the English discovering Japan, and the clash of two differently-developed cultures totally alien to each other. Fascinating stuff.

Just saying.

well THAT's a relief

Behaving.

And yay, less than half an hour to go to midnight, I think I'm going to make it, I think I zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Doesn't Angel look GREAT?

Minerva - turn into a pumpkin.

Angel, here Skype is now CRAWLING with advertising but still free. Phew!

Calliope, I did that once at a bring-a-swap party. The idea was all the girls took along a man who, for whatever reason, was available and recommended. I took along two 25 year old guys who were dead keen to meet forty-something hotties but it did not go down well with my hostess.

They got a lot of phone numbers, though.

The alternative was my ex-husband, no-one would have thanked me. He's not party-material, he's the type who grows on you. Like moss.

RE: Facebook People

I'm a South African, and my family and friends are scattered all over the world now. I personally live in Scotland, 95 miles from my nearest relative (a niece).

Facebook is a personalized newspaper for me, when I open it up I get casual news of what they are up too, can see photos of new relatives born far away and how they are growing up, it is like having them nearby. For sure my daughter wouldn't post me regular photos of her enormous puppy, or photos of her playing hockey. (She's extremely good!) I wouldn't see videos of my brother's kids competing in horse events, or playing sport. I keep in casual touch with nearly 70 people who have all been part of my life in a happier past, and if anything interesting happens to me, I pass that on too. I wish I had interesting things to say more often!

I completely agree my Facebook would be paralysingly boring for anyone who doesn't know them, but it is pretty interesting to me.

well THAT's a relief

Angel, I didn't think anyone could get banned from Skype!! are you NOT an Angel? It must be the pepper ...

I will look up Tango.

well THAT's a relief

Angel, she's being so mischievous! Huh.

Min, will I still love you tomorrow?

well THAT's a relief

I have my second wind. Who's still awake? I have to stay awake until midnight in an hour and a half, or I will be evil tomorrow.

"Will skype for coffee"

RE: A Simple Solution.

Yup mine is a rescue dog too but has scornfully resisted training all her life and just looks at me now pityingly when I try to teach an old dog new tricks!

RE: SELF- WILL

Good advice

RE: A Simple Solution.

Permanent hazard around my tiny back garden. Don't know where my bulldog keeps it all. I just know where she puts it.

well THAT's a relief

Z, I have to hope they at least have the nous to find my treasures. But yup, pretty accessible.

well THAT's a relief

Min, a patient man who likes old ruins sounds just my cup of tea. Set it up.

well THAT's a relief

Ed, it never is!

well THAT's a relief

Minerva, YES. Er - does he speak any English? No hablo español

well THAT's a relief

Just had a message from a man of 58 who thinks I look genuine. Should I tell him he's too old? Or is it more polite just to not reply?


If HE looked genuine the social etiquette would be even trickier

RE: Lying about age.

Sola, you would be absolutely mindblown by the real me. There's a taster pic on the assortment so he doesn't have a heart-attack, mind. I am drop dead GORGEOUS.

RE: Lying about age.

I'm really 24 but looking for a sugar-daddy. When he sees what actually turns up for the date, he'll forgive me my tiny deception.

well THAT's a relief

I was joking about the 50 shades of CS. Not that I didn't think it would be a best-seller

well THAT's a relief

Pedal, yikes. The thought of having children with a man of 150 is, well, fortunately in my case, no longer an option. PHEW!!!!!!

well THAT's a relief

Know what you're thinking, Teena. HURRY UP already

well THAT's a relief

Thanks, Titania! 50 shades of CS is in the pipeline, all contributions accepted and will be credited under profile or real name as preferred

Joan Collins is an exception that proves the laws in nature! Good on her. Agatha Christie's second husband was a good deal younger, she said an archeologist is the best husband to have, the older you get, the more interesting they find you.

Any archeologists on here? I'm getting quite interesting!

well THAT's a relief

My profile photo should be a woman in profile. Do please let me know if it changes to anything else.
