RE: Men in kilts!

but myth, every time there's a football match, hundreds of guys in kilts walk past my flat, usually w/work boots & casual shirts, sporran in place, some w/flags draped over their shoulders & others w/various types of hats (dont cringe at the wrong terminology -- im a yank), socks scrunched down to the ankles . . . o wee god in heaven or hell, tis a deliteful site for this woman seeing all those men in kilts regardless of the fact they're just marching off to the pub to get drunk & disorderly.

one time last year, vicky road was swarming w/them! must've been a major game being played. i was in heaven . . .

RE: i have a problem with my thoughts

sir, i do believe you've just cut yorself off at the knees. any woman who's read this thread won't be wanting to get a flower from you, cuz you've already warned us yor only attracted to ugly women.

what a silly silly boy you have been.

RE: Long distance relationships - can they work?

it asks different things of you than other relationships, but of course it can. 3 of my brothers had long distance relationships that resulted in marriage. if the 2 people are truly compatible, the difficultites will be worked thru.

RE: Call me a Trouble Maker if you will..but I have to ask why?

i'll admit to being an old fart, belushi, but never to being boring!

love the hat.

RE: Call me a Trouble Maker if you will..but I have to ask why?

i must be turning into a cranky old fart becuz this question just seems to be a way of using the season of unconditional love to criticise people for something inconsequential.

back in the stone age when i was young (which was before PC was even a twinkle in someone's over active brain), we were taught what was said above about the X coming from the greek & representing christ. it used to be that god's name was too holy to be spoken. & speaking of holy yes, as AB says, the word holiday comes from holy day.

im not christian so maybe ive missed the point, but i think of 2 statements attributed to christ -- one dealing w/casting stones & the other about the greatest of these being . . .

that's this old fart done talking.

RE: My wish

another pair of yor angels, AB

RE: Tell me somewhere interesting you've been OUTSIDE the USA or CANADA

let's just say if a balaclava gang arm to the teeth had stormed the restaurant & demanded one human sacrifice, the waiting staff would've unanymously agreed to drag forward my date. i would've pulled out his chair to help. other'n that, it was a good wkend! saw a coupla excavated roman sites, a reconstructed roman bath house, ate some bread made in a replicated roman oven, walked along a patch of hadrian's wall & decided northumberland (where purgatory is located) is a fine stretch of ground.

RE: Tell me somewhere interesting you've been OUTSIDE the USA or CANADA

i was in purgatory over the wkend. not so bad as hell. food & comforts were fine but weather raging & my companion was satan personified.

RE: Will you ever remarry?

it wouldnt matter a fig to me unless it was important to him & then it would depend on which country we were living in at the time. if there were inheritance laws that would jeopardise his children's or my son's inheritance, for example, i'd be very reluctant. so i'd be looking at it as a legal contract rather than an emotional one.

RE: the recently departed mrs c

let me be a little more succinct, yami. unless you are psychic, you either received the same emails from this buffoon jp regarding SCM -- which you deny -- or you wrote them. neither option would lead to coffee. im done w/this matter.

RE: the recently departed mrs c

no yami, im not having you on. but you already know that.

RE: For My Deer Friends,...

perhaps wildlife isnt a typical staple in SOME american diets. i think the posts here would indicate that for some of us, yes it is. the deer DOES have defences. the cow in the slaughter house does not.

i do agree that hunting for sport & leaving the meat to rot, etc, is barbaric.

RE: the recently departed mrs c

really, yami? yor reference to the letter was totally fictitious? & yet nearly verbatim to the letter i received from this man claiming to be SCM. how very odd. nearly fantastic, if you think about it.

RE: For My Deer Friends,...

i dont see how buying meat from a supermarket is more humane than hunting, but i grew up in a hunting culture. my father WAS a person who, in his youth had to catch dinner or not eat. as an adult, he would, as suggested, "shoot" not w/his camera, but w/his binoculars. some of his children hunt & some do not.

but none of us would eat possum. maybe if we were starving but not by choice.

RE: the recently departed mrs c

i think i got the same email that you received.

RE: Close your eyes

i spent this afternoon w/a friend. he arrived w/a box of chocolates that are only available in glasgow at xmas time, took me out to a very nice restaurant & refused my contribution to the bill. we gossiped & debated, laughed & were a general scandal.

as he was dropping me off at the train station, he verbally put his foot into it. a brief & awkward moment, apologies on both sides, a hasty kiss good-bye. & tho he's sorry & im sorry & all is intellectually forgiven, i still feel the ickiness of what was said.

i can't make the feeling vanish by closing my emotional eyes but its what i do w/that feeling that's important.

RE: Can you smell snow?

when i lived where it would snow, the air did smell differently before it snowed.

RE: the recently departed mrs c

if she didnt, then who did?

RE: Who wants a phone call ?

thanks! so do you. very sensual! im smoking a cigarette even as we speak. ah ladies, give the man a try.

RE: Who wants a phone call ?

just off the phone w/leo! if there's anyone vascillating about doing it, here's a little push from me! what a fabulous idea.

RE: Who wants a phone call ?

darlin i'd love to hear yor voice but im across the pond. you give me yor number & it'll be my dime (or 10p).

what a great idea for a thread! CS is hopping w/creativity today!

RE: Cute, Hot, or Both...

only cute? isnt there a dash of curry powder in that man?

RE: Cute, Hot, or Both...

ooo i just love to see a man blush!

RE: Cute, Hot, or Both...

don't you DARE go mute! altho i reckon you'd be a sparkler whether or not you could talk.

RE: Should I ring Ireland or wait

how'd it go? did i give you bum advice?

RE: Cute, Hot, or Both...

& paws takes them both into another level altogether! simply sizzlin'

RE: Cute, Hot, or Both...

i thot the ladies were getting the flowers. seems like AB is much more interesting!

RE: do you belive in life after death

james, you gave me the conclusions rather than the explanation which undoubtedly wouldnt fit into this little box.

suggested reading perhaps?

RE: Should I ring Ireland or wait

achuisle mo chroi. ring her.

RE: do you belive in life after death

a question for abra: im certainly familiar w/what you put forward but what i dont understand is, if time is an illusion, what is aging?

as to my own beliefs in an afterlife, they keep changing. altho ive also had experiences & shared the past life regression process, any of these can be explained as psychological rather than spiritual phenom. belief, ive learned is a gift, & one ive currently misplaced but may find again tomorrow.
