How come scientists can come up with the likes of string theory, parallel universes or the notion that a particle can exist in two places at once and we all nod believing that these4 theories could quite possibly be true.
However, when someone like me expresses a firmly held belief that there is life force inside me that is deeper than thought or personality and that my physical being is just a vehicle for that force; I am accused of speculation at best and wishful thinking at worst.
It IS actually my belief that my spirit is eternal and moves on after this lump of water and carbon I inhabit, is worn out.
Now whether that spirit leaves and merges with others into what some would call God or a spirit of the universe or whether I maintain my individuality as a single force, is open to speculation, but I am convinced there is a force within me which cannot die.
I think most people confuse hate and anger. Think of the energy involved in being absolutely and totally in love with someone.........and then turn it inside out. I think finding a hate that engulfs you is as unusual as finding a love that engulfs you. Opposite sides of the same coin.
Give me a shout if you guys are performing anywhere. The Lamb Lies Down to Supper's Ready to Misplaced Childhood to Grendel...all brilliant. I take it we are talking about Genesis before they became a backing band for Collins.
Oh dear. My days of walking on eggshells are long gone. This sounds like Obsessional Neurosis on her part which is a form of OCD. She needs help I'd say.
A broken vase.....really....." How Important Is It? "
"In the pink," is a general term which can refer to anything from financial or romantic security as well as being generally healthy of body, mind and spirit. To be honest, it's not a phrase that's used very often these days.
The word, 'sleek,' is somewhat double edged. It can mean sharp or well polished but there are undertones of being too good to be true or wholesome. It is a word of exaggeration. Although, it is grammatically correct to say, "Sleek trees," verbally it just doesn't look right. A salesman's talk can be described as sleek or even a fast car but not really a tree.
Now the plant! If I use the word plant as a noun, then it refers to the whole item: roots, stalks, leaves and flowers. The flower is the open bud, the coloured bit that is open for pollination.
Colloquially, We tend to describe the whole thing as a flower such as a daffodil but I think it's a wrong description.
Finally, "Plant," when used as a verb can refer to the act of puting any flora or fauna into the ground. So you can plant trees, potatoes, daffodils, carrots, hydrangeas, etc till your heart's content.
Sometimes we even joke about planting people when we bury them.
Why Miss Abagail, I do believe that you and I should depart this polite company and retire to the comfort of the broom cupboard where I shall attempt to unlace your bodice in the dark!
Strikes me that someone who takes the trouble to create a post about not drinking has an alcohol obsession even if it's a reverse one. I could fill pages of new threads of things I don't do from knitting to naked mountain biking.
Methinks the O/P at one time knew only too well the answer to his own question! ODAAT
Sadly, as a non drinker I can tell you that this is the exception and not the norm. Bars are used to making huge profits out of mixers and soft drinks and are reluctant to do any of them for free.
A wedding occurred just outside Govan in Glasgow. To keep tradition going, everyone got extremely drunk and the bride's and groom's families have a storming row and begin wrecking the reception room and generally kicking the living daylights out of each other. The Police get called in to break up the fight and the following week, all members of both families appear in court.
Ronny the best man stands up and says "Judge, I was the best man at the wedding and I think I should explain what happened".
The Judge agrees and Ronny takes the stand telling the court that it is traditional in a Govan wedding that the Best Man gets the first dance with the Bride. The judge says "OK".
"Well", said Ronny, "After I had finished the first dance, the music kept going, so I continued dancing to the second song, and after that the music kept going and I was dancing to the third song, when all of a sudden the Groom leapt over the table, ran towards us and gave the Bride an unmerciful kick right between her legs".
Shocked, the Judge instantly responded, "God, that must have hurt!"
"HURT?!" Ronny replies "Broke three of my fingers!"

That's the price of having a long life still ahead of ya unlike us geriatrics who are keeping one eye on the cost of funerals!
