It was my Karma that I end up in Switzerland... the land of Fairy Tales, gnarled trees, gnomes, witches and wizards. And yes, my brother was Grimm, very Grimm! and if he was connected to Cybaspace instead of doing his Astral travelling in the Universe, I am sure he would have been a permanent fixture at this Cyba Pub!!!
Exactly! When chores/goods/services/whatever are exchanged on a bartering system, without cash money exchanging hands..... then everyone contributes equally....or suffers.
And the upside of that sort of system, is that no Taxes are paid, and eventually there would be no Government, and eventually Life, and the Planet, could return to normal.
Money seems to be an Entity, and causes people to fall in love with it, and generates Greed.
Sorry Killingtime... I called you Wooffy by mistake!!
Pertinent to what you said....about people changing... Yes I do agree and think that is one of the reasons for disgruntlement in relationships.
I notice so many young, especially the females, that once they are married, and usually after having children, they just seem to let themselves go to pieces, getting fat, slobby, out of shape, drab and uninteresting.... and then expect their menfolk to have to put up with their Whale-like appearance!.... because if the husband doesnt like it, well... he can just forfeit his children, his home, and spend the rest of his life paying alimony and child maintenance...
Ah ha! I found Wedy on the right thread..... and I got a message for him, except its in morse code... he should be able to decipher it, cause he types in morse...... doesnt he?
I agree here.... Movie Stars, and other high profile Beauty figures, NEVER appear without their make-up.
That Red-Hot-Mama of Country and Western Singing, Dolly Parton said when she wants to go out and not be noticed... she simply leaves off her make-up and outrageous wig!... and trundles thru town and supermarkets without a second glance.
Anneline Kriel Kurzner, ex Miss South Africa and Miss Universe... Well! A local magazine published a photo of her without her make-up, and she was SO plain!
Expert make-up does absolutely incredible things... I once had a Professional Make-up Artist work miracles on me!!!.... the end result was that I looked NOTHING like the real me.... I actually looked like that actress Pamela in the Soap Series of Dallas!!!!!
So.... if you realy believe that actresses and other famous people look like their photos.... you living in La-La-Land!
Never fear about meeting a woman, and worrying about impressing her! You can only be yourself, and if yourself is not good enough, then nothing will be good enough.... and then you got no more problems anyway! People meeting for the first time.... Im sure they've both gone to a lot of trouble for each other....? The food, the wine....those are the incidentals, something to do, the eating and drinking... while you check each other out. Flowers are good too.... one flower sounds romantic. A whole bunch would be a bit overboard?.... the poor things are going to wilt while you eating and drinking and talking? And maybe she is allergic to something in the bouquet and the meeting is ruined because she is sneezing, drooling, blowing her nose, running out of tissues, scratching her rash, etc... get the picture?
I believe Woofy and Sunshine have about got the right answers...
At the same time, I would say that some people are just plain old-fashioned Loyal? ... and unless they get shoved out, they will not take off on their own.
People build their lives with another person, their lives are inter-woven, financially, emotionally, and maybe they have small children too.... so they just hang in and hope somehow that things will come right. Of course nothing comes right....and eventually they become immune to each other and continue in their bitter relationship, ignoring their hurts and building a veneer over their feelings. This is the part where fear for the future comes into the picture.... to be alone "out there".
There is a Thread somewhere here where someone asks if being on an Internet Date Site is because we have become too "picky" about choosing a partner? I would say that in a settled relationship, the "pickyness" comes in more....at the time when one person decides their mate is no longer "good enough" for them...and they want more than what they have.
Und.... Vot eggzaktly is a "Quokka"? Ahh, maybe its the Quagga? that smaller Zebra that still lives in the cape area of South Africa? Foreveryoung should be able to verify this..... huh? or is it spelt Kwagga, no that looks wrong.... must be Quagga! Well done!
In my little Swiss village, I am astounded at the beauty of the local young girls.... Realy Astounded. I often think that the boys here just must not know how absolutely lucky they are!!!!!!! Most of them have the most incredible skins, beautiful faces, eyes,figures.... Realy, the young people of Today are absolute marvels.
Take a good hard look at Marilyn, there is nothing wrong with her, but take off her make-up, and she is just an ordinary little girl.....with natural dark brown hair!..... Also, remember, she was a very fragile personality, with no self-confidence, and ended up dead in her early thirties..... either by suicide or cleverly contrived political murder..... Not a happy person by any standards.
Moored at Greenwich? Isnt that meantime?./... where they going to move it to afterwards?
Must be something like the Queen Elizabeth 1 or 11 (2 roman)? Everything else is still working and earning its living... like the elephants in India, the Zoo animals, the circus animals, the Tsitsikama Forest Elephants, etc etc.
SUNSHINE..... Me and Picky have decided to do a Duo, on-stage, and we going to sing Happy Birthday a'la 1930's style, lots of crooning and shoo-be-doo sashaying from side to side..... Freeze would have joined us, but she is busy working on the ship, so excuse her... but I am sure she sends her love and wishes. uk1971 (must be the year he was born huh?) is the DJ, and he knows what the music should be? Swedish Star is ditching her specs, putting on her mini and joining us, while she practices as back up singer.... she is quite good actually, when she loses her shyness! Wedy is in his James Bond Suit, doing back-up, in the background.
Yes Nick, Stay and make friends. We get a good feel for each other, and you get to know how your favourite people think and react to all sorts of subjects. And you can ask the most ridiculous questions, and you can answer the most ridiculous questions..... Its like getting drunk in your favourite local pub with all your best friends.
Well, between doing your job of work all day, commuting home, doing your whatever you do before going to bed to get ready for the next day..... Guess you could go hang out in a bar somewhere, and hope some sort of lone female/male will drift by with whom you can strike up a conversation, and then maybe get going with a relationship?
Going to bars and such places after dark/work/whatever is also more dangerous these days.... soooo.... So much easier to sit with a pc and comunicate thru cybaspace? Its called Advancement of Technology. I love it. Imagine having to drink beer/wine everytime one feels like going on the prowl?
Sometimes.... No, actually most times... those with whom we have the hugest arguments....turn out to be the best of friends! Maybe its to do with getting down to grass-roots, and being honest.... And then they begin to understand each other.. and eventually.. LO! they are now friends!
.. And in August, in Austria, they can join arms, and dance down the street!!!!!
The Famous Ship? It just simply has to be that one that belongs to the Queen? that huge big floating thing like an hotel, that they cant afford to run anymore? whats it called? now you pay your pennies and you can walk all over it...... ?
A Bottle of Scotch AND a bottle of Rioja!! Wedy dear, would you like to join me, Picky, Sunshine, and whoever else pops in, and help us to flatten these two bottles of beautiful Alcohol?
Us girls also wouldnt object if you could rustle up a Fondue with nice crispy bread for us, just so we dont drink on totally empty tummies? Thanks hey!
I wish Swedish Star would pop in, I got a feeling we made a mistake and misinterpreted her meanings..... She looks a realy nice person, and also someone who likes to have some fun. Wonder if she would be interested in joining our Flying Club?
RE: hi
hello from Switzerland I am not Swiss, but I| greet you on their behalf....Anything you want to know about South Africa |I can help you with....
