RE: The bad effects of smoking

Lindsy ~ I smoked heavily from 18 to 27. There were no patches to put on our arms or gum to chew to help with withdrawals. I tried and failed so much I just decided they had to go [or my fiancee at the time would leave me as he hated smoking] so I went down slowly on them....
It worked, I did not talk about it, join a group, I just went down to milder types of cigarettes and eventually was off. My hints are, Drink plenty of water, Avoid Curried or highly spiced food as this brings on the urge for a ciggie. Same goes for sweet things, cookies, cakes. fizzy drinks.

If you are craving a cigarette, eat an apple and keep brushing your teeth. I did it and If I can do it anyone can. I used to have a cigarette before my breakfast !!

RE: At least, he DID know his name...

I saw that on American TV and indeed our own here in Ireland last night. It seems counter productive to take the 5th Amendment to so many questions, is this not just prolonging the agony ?

RE: The Days He Ran Away..

Kalpataru ~ Contrary to what you hear. A cat can be just as affectionate and as grateful as a dog.
I really hope you keep him. I had a rescue cat and called him Poppy, just on my window and terrified but yet came each day, fed him at same time daily, left out water and dry food and a wooden box to sleep in.
Eventually he was in the house. I had a Cat litter tray but he went outside . A beautiful cat lived for many years.

RE: The soul keeper

satoraxismund ~ I can actually give you all the verses if you like. As you know I studied Wicca and still do some healing on animals but I studied Judaism as you know and then on from there Christianity and Q'uran because I do a lot of online work with converting same. I am going out today, I will send you those verses
Blessings.

RE: Getting To Know Someone Better..

Kalpataru ~ Romance is different for everyone. I loved both your blogs. The Cat one especially as I work part time in a Cat Sanctuary and have taken in orphans as a kid and all my life. My local Vet often calls me and collects me to help with a very fritghtened cat. Slow movements and a soft voice and to realise they are terrified I wish you look with that little bundle of fear and love.

I really loved your blog Getting to know somebone better was really an education for me. I do ask questions in a relationship but I would want to know more I am glad you are happy

RE: The Days He Ran Away..

Kalpatcru ~ I am guessing you are the only human who bothers to feed this little orphaned kitten. He was obviously unwanted and perhaps is used to being shoooooo ed away or roard at. Many do no like or understand Cats.
As a kitten it is quite vulnerable out there, a small fluffy ball , thin and depending on you for food. If you look at teh kitten next time, and you meet eyes , close your eyes for about 3 seconds not moving, in cat language this is 'I trust you , I won't hurt you ' Try and feed the little mite each day at the same time and even a little place to sleep with something soft on it. Cats are clean and eventually he will allow you to pet him,
He has known no love. Just because he is afraid of you [as he has probably been dumped by humans ] does not mean that this cat does not love you. Lucky is an obvious name but calling him and for him/her to get to know your voice will work.

RE: Why Trump is running for President again

lyndsy ~ There was a time i would have politely disagreed but events and appalling behavior on behalf of Democrats and other information that has come my way have changed my mind about Donald T. I hope he gets back in . I really do. Especially with us on the edge of WW3.

RE: The soul keeper

There are over 100 verses about Soul keepers in the Bible. They are referred to as Shepherd Keepers.
Hebrews 13 verse 17 1 Peter verse 25 1 Peter 5: 4

RE: Know when to fold them.

Orzzz What you said about your valued being someone elses thrash , that upsets me. I have seen old people die around here and there is a house for sale. Suddenly children appear that I don't remember seeing, Where there is a will there is a relative. The skip is brought in and little ornaments and books and favourite pictures are thrown mercilessly on the pile. I always think it is so disrespectful.

As for swedish Death cleaning. I don't have a farm but because I live in a small space I have clutter, It does work but it is the getting the energy and midnset to do it without being emotional about 'stuff'
I don' t think about being on a walker or zimoframe as it is too close to the bone I visited my uncle 'till he died in a 5 star home. IT was so depressing to visit him. sitting there in a lovely room but it could have been a horses stable. The main room had music and most of the people were half asleep or medicalized and falling to the side asleep. The smells of ageing were just dreadful. I would be so depressed after those visits once a week. I think you seem to be doing well on that farm and for me anyway, living in the day is what makes thing better. Take good care.

RE: Smart Appliances...

Unfayzed ~ We in Europe, will have plenty of electricity blackouts this winter and Gas shortages so a simple fridge freezer for me, Both Gas and Electric cooker and of course there will be the huge bills.
Take aways ? nope, Rubbish. I like to know where my food comes from.

RE: Anne Heche...

Chatillion I saw something about it in one of our papers. There was a photo of her and she was so pretty, talented and young. I had never heard of her either but such a traumatic way to die, and at such a young age 53 with so much life ahead of her. RIP

RE: Back to being employed!

Deighted for you Philipsen, Isn't it great for the spirit when you get good news. Congrats.

RE: Politicians I Like to Kill

Woops That should have been WW3 [haven't had breakfast yet and it is 11.30 ].
There is money in War, there is land in war there is death in war, there are no winners in war if you count
civilian and soldiers lives.

and the band played Waltzing Matilda
As they slowly lowered him down
Then we buried ours and they buried theirs
and we started all over again

RE: Death and Fear

Decent love I love that guy Sadhguru. His utubes are terrific on many subjects.
I do admit to having a fear of death, not of death itself , but of what will happen to me thereafter.
I am Christian. Have you read the Bhagavad Gita ? Nirvana as you know is the sought after place.
In christianity t hough we have Heaven or paradise where we will be with our creator God who sent
himself in the form of man to be crucified for our sin, so that we would have eternal happiness.
Nice blog.

RE: Get ready for 'The Pit'

Agentbob Bart to the future ~ Yes, brilliant.

RE: Politicians I Like to Kill

Satoraxis ~ Morning from Dublin The situation is very dangerous now. Zelensky having been given millions and millions of dollars worth of highly efficient equipment that hits the target, is now using it
in Russia and now Crimea.
Once begging for weapons, which we in EU gave, U.S. gave so much and more because of course they have an interest in this awful war and as you said it's effects on Civilians , children and elderly especially it is heartbreaking. We have allowed thousands in to our country. We have a huge homeless situation here and a broken health system and we still allowed thousands in, and they are on social welfare and being sheltered and have Medical cards for free medical trips to doctors.

I come across as not humane but this is not true. You can't offer to take somebody on a sinking boat.
At this stage we need to pray, heal and do what we can that Zelensky will put his ego in his pocket and
go and meet Putin and his cohorts before we end up in WW 2. Take care and keep Good vibes , this world has gone mad.

RE: To my dear friends (enemies as well), specially Billy

Phyllis ~ Nice photos. I am glad you are feeling blessed and grateful. I hope you enjoyed your day.
It's 11pm here so Wishing you a great year and continued happiness,:drinkpou

RE: American way of life.....

Teenameena ~ I was having some fun . Yes you are correct of course. Very few Americans are really American. Except for Native American of course.

RE: FLASH! Musk might make an offer and buy the FBI. Will Clintons sell?

galrads, well old Bill Clinton and young Elon Musk have a lot in common in the 'fun and games with the young ladies ' department so nothing is impossible. I thought Bush sold FBI to Saudi, Gosh I must have got that all wrong.

RE: American way of life.....

Teenameena ~
Have you ever met an American you liked ? or do they all do your head in ? This is a serious question.
You don't have to answer.

RE: Pelosi full of praise for China

Swamie ~ The UTUBE of Pelosi is terrific. It is a serious situation but I got a good laugh.

RE: Happy Birthday to ...............lindsyjones

Linday Jones


I WISH YOU A VERY VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY I HOPE YOU HAVE A LOVELY DAY.
I WISH YOU MANY MANY MORE BIRTHDAYS, ROSIE

RE: Politicians I Like to Kill

PS ~ I meant to say Ukraine shooting missiles that US told them Not to fire in to Russia, could escalate.
There are too many leaders to name, North Korean, Kim Yong etc., our own are not great either x

RE: What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

Typho I don't know how I could live without Jesus in this world.

RE: What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

In this world Jenny, I don't know how I would live with Jesus. Wars and rumours of wars, labour pains, and I did not fully understand, now with climate change and fires nearby in France, our rivers here so warm that Salmon and other fish are dying horrible deaths and in a world which spends zillions on Arms and Tanks we have such a large amount of people starving. I know his ways are not my ways when it comes to my life and my hopes and wishes and I respect that now. I wish more people could believe what is in store for those who believe.

RE: American way of life.....

Teenameena ~ Most Govts, cater to the rich sadly. Tax is especially kind to the rich, it is the stretched middle classes who pay the most. Getting dark here now.

RE: Not an official vacation...

Chatillion ~ I personally prefer long weekends or days away than a 2 week holiday in one place, I find this as I get older. I love to see new places within my own country and sometimes being in the one place just lying in sun for a week is overestimated, just my humble opinion. Enjoy your days off.

RE: American way of life.....

Teenameena ~ I love PUKKA products, their teas and Ayurvedic medicines. The West has managed to medicalise everything from watching too much Tv and being on social media to being abit unhappy, hence one in three are on SSRIs in many Western countries. Going to have ..... my once a week Beef Stew, best beef I could buy, only once a week, I need the iron. Garlic, onions, lots of veg, tiny bit of curry powder, other spices. Grass fed and tender. Going , good blog.

RE: American way of life.....

CROWN ~ Wow I am going to have to watch what I write here, when I said spiritual, I simply meant that I had gone through the designer clothes, expensive high heels and hair cuts era [for me , my decision ] and found that it did not bring happiness. I was alluding to the great god of excessive Consumerism which is rampant in EU, Ireland and U.S. It does not make us happy and community and other things do, good friendship, the love of friends and a loving relationship if we get lucky or they get lucky Incessant buying of 'stuff' and things that make us seem wealthy and silly people envious is not a ticket to happiness, that is what I was really meaning to say.
I don't want a Cartier watch. ...... I think,

RE: Trump...Seriously Flawed

Loulou, in a high pitched, deliberately slow voice 'I must be the most persecuted president in the history of the state' or words to that effect.
Regarding Politics and Newspapers, I can only speak for Ireland, UK and many of the European papers are all owned by politicians or, friends of politicians. It is extremely rare to get an honest view on any subject.
I didn't mention Russian newspapers or TV as that is too obvious.

Do you still have pic of me and others 'spite girls ' on your profile.
