Actually, most rescued animals make the best pets...

RE: Talk too much, and take a Gamble, . . or play it Safe, and Speak Rarely?

Hmmmm well, I think just being yourself in the end is your best bet. Some people will like you and others won't. Simple as that.

RE: The best dog breed for your family.....

What about the sweet/hot chili sauce?

RE: Say something about something, or anything. :)

This is SO tragic. The world has lost its innocence, and our children pay the price.

THE FOUL MOUTHED PARROT.... A CHRISTMAS STORY!!!

Thank you! It rather appealed to me too!!!

RE: The best dog breed for your family.....

None of the above although I love all dogs. My favourite is a miniature sausage dog (daschund)!!!

28 degrees C here with a chance of thunderstorms....

RE: My xmas present

Hiya time4fun4u.... Well, it could be lovely to have a white Christmas in Scotland OR you could have a big party at your place and invite all the other Spanish CS residents??!!! Either way, you don't HAVE to be on your own!

RE: What would do it for you ?

Yes, that's always a good thing! Also, just listening helps too.....

THE FOUL MOUTHED PARROT.... A CHRISTMAS STORY!!!

Aw shame!

THE FOUL MOUTHED PARROT.... A CHRISTMAS STORY!!!

Yay, glad I wasn't the ONLY one who found it funny! I was beginning to wonder!!!!

RE: The London riots and the attack on Prince Charles

The whole northern hemisphere seems to be freezing and here we are all hot and steamy!

RE: What would do it for you ?

I agree. I luuuurve romance, but don't take it all that seriously. Sweet words are lovely, but actions are far more meaningful. By all means tell me "You look gorgeous tonight", but holding my hand while we're walking and stroking my arm or in the midst of dinner suddenly saying: "Do you mind if I do something?" then leaning across and kissing me tenderly on the lips... that'll melt my heart...

RE: BLIND DATES

Well sometimes it does and other times it doesn't... My ex husband was a blind date and we dated for 2 years then were married for 23 years!!! I think you have nothing to lose. At the very least, you could make a new friend.

RE: The London riots and the attack on Prince Charles

I feel a lot of these sorts of riots are fear based... Fear about their future. Here we have them from time to time during political rallies and it is usually to do with our high unemployment. It's sad coz here in SA good education costs a fortune and then there aren't that many jobs available for our kids once they've graduated from university (sorry, but especially if you're white and male). Far too many have to leave for distant shores...

RE: what would be the main reason that anyone would wish 2 be in a relationship with you?

1) refreshingly honest
2) funny

... so I'm told anyway!

RE: Freudian slip

Hugs for you Justy! I really need to be thinking about going to bed soon - it's nearly 1am here....

RE: Freudian slip

Uh oh! A bit of a blooper!

RE: Are women happier if their place is in the home (traditional role)?

Not at all.... I just wish more women (and men for that matter) had the opportunity to job share or work flexitime so they could spend more time with their children. Children look to adults to be role models and most of the time they are just too busy running around like chickens with their heads cut off to be very effectual parents. I'm sorry but quality is not enough - time is essential.

RE: Are women happier if their place is in the home (traditional role)?

I don't know whether women are any happier these days.... I know that many of the women I know who are mothers are very ambivalent about working full time and a couple have decided to give up the 'rat race' and opt for a simpler life where they may not have as much in the way of material things, but they have more TIME with their kids. It's kind of like you're damned if you do and damned if you don't... Since having children, I have tried being a stay-at-home mom, worked halfday, worked full day and now am fortunate enough to be able to work flexitime. To me that is extremely important. Being there to watch my sons play sport, to pick them up from school, to oversee their homework, etc is great for them and for me. Sadly, we are living in such a fast-paced, instant gratification world and traditional values are being lost. I think our society and especially our children feel the brunt of that loss and parental-child relationships these days are often fraught with difficulties. It's tough both for working parents and for kids.

THE FOUL MOUTHED PARROT.... A CHRISTMAS STORY!!!

A young man received a parrot as a gift. The
parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.

Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious
and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to
change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only
polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could
think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.

Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot.
The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the
parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation,
threw up his hands, grabbed the bird and put him in the
freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked
and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet.

Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened
the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out
onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I
may have offended you with my rude language and
actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my
inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do
everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."

John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.

As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a
dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke up, very
softly, "May I ask what the turkey did?"


HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!

RE: Would you like to wrap or unwrap the person above you?

Well.......... as long as you use tinsel or Christmas ribbon....

RE: confess your sins! Im waiting! (Im doing this one a gain coz it's funny)

You are forgiven my son. But what were you doing????!!!!

RE: CS Holiday Pub

Definitely. Unfortunately, you never stop missing your mom - it is such a close bond... But, the way I look at it is that she lives on in my heart, my smile, my sense of humour and compassion, my son Cody's kind heart, my little guy Max's naughty face... And you know what MetalgirlPlush, it's okay to cry. I still do even though she passed on 12 years ago.

RE: Would you like to wrap or unwrap the person above you?

Yep, I would unwrap this country boy!!!! We can sing a duet together and I'll play my guitar....
