I've posted on this before... I do believe in some sort of conscious energy, or ghost for lack of a better term. I grew up with one... he was a constant part of our lives, was quite mischieveous and a very noticeable presence, so much so that we even named him. "Alfi "enjoyed moving things around, making noises like furniture being dragged around and you would frequently catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of your eye. I found it kind of comforting when I was home alone, that he was there with me and kind of miss him now.
I still maintain a really active social life and spend a lot of time with friends outside the internet... the biggest effect being online has for me is that it's reduced the amount of time I spend reading... I used to read 3 or 4 books a week, now I only read one a week. Oh, I probably don't do quite as much housework as I used to...
I smoked for 11 years and then quit cold turkey for 14 years... then I bought a bar and have been smoking for an additional 11 years... I recently changed to rollup cigarettes which has cut my smoking in half, and now smoke pure tobacco without all the horrible chemical additives and feel much better for it. In fact, if a get lazy and bum a normal cigarette from someone it actually makes me nauseous.
I'm not ready to quit just yet and it's ridiculous to even try if it's not something you really want, but I think probably within the next year I'll call it quits.
I wish the plow had never been invented. For the first time in history man was able to produce more then he needed to survive thus changing everything and putting us where we are today. What a different world it would be if each of spent the majority of our time providing for ourselves and our families... no mass fishing, farming etc.
My weekend was working... had a fantastic blues band in the bar friday night, we were packed. I got the bright idea of doing a proper sunday lunch in addition to the tapas menu we have in the day, it went over fantastic... but guess who cooks in the day time..... me I can't wait to hire a day time chef!!!! Today is my day off and I'm going to catch up on laundry, be lazy and go out to dinner with some friends this evening.
Feeling healthy again... but yes, long hours. I love it though, we had a party with a great blues band last night, had people from all over the island in. We're being written up as one of the top five cocktail bars... and if we can get the editor of the guide in before they go to print there's a good chance of being included in the top 5 restaurants as well. The bar opened 3 weeks ago... the restaurant's official opening is April 18, right now we're only serving Tapas, but will go to a full menu then.
If you actually retain the information that you read, you'll remember that I already said I love cooking, and enjoy cooking for friends and family. I am even training my chef in the restaurant with my recipes, we served 78 meals last night without a single complaint and loads of rave reviews... you have put no wisdom before me... I'm just shocked at your outdated and chauvinistic attitude.
Well if you want to get into how families have made their money do a little research on the Kennedy's, the Getty's, the Vanderbilts... black market liquor during prohibition and loads of other crime... find an old money family and you'll find a nest of corruption, politics, and crime.
OK, you've taken the time to see these "factual" videos. Now why don't you look at the other side. Go to Snopes.com and do a search on "The Clinton Body Count" makes for some interesting reading.
Hi BB, wonderful use of words... as always! How are you? Sorry you're going through such a crap time. I wish that I could help in some way, but it's such an empty wish as distance makes any practical help impossible. Know that I am sending lots of positive thoughts your way.
He was my "roomie" in Guatamala for a couple of weeks, I was camping outside the ruins of Tikal and me made himself at home in my tent with me at night, during the day he hung out in the trees.
I'm pretty honest with myself... I am a middle aged woman who could stand to lose a few pounds, I've actually lost 40 already and still need to lose about 30 more to reach my ideal weight and plan to do it before my daughters wedding in February. I think I'm attractive but certainly not beautiful.
Welcome to the order of the "Nuns of Prepetual Sin"... Where all must cast themselves upon Gilly's casting couch to be deemed worthy of entry into the new religion...
RE: Male Translation Please!! =D
It means ..... "Why do you want to go out with him, when you could be going out with me?"
