RE: García Márquez...

Perhaps observations on the percieved rights of conquest - it is many many years since I read the masterpiece, thanks for reminding me

RE: García Márquez...

This may take me a hundred years of solitude to work out

RE: Giving up smoking! Your Diary.

Oh Im, so sorry for your loss BB

RE: Giving up smoking! Your Diary.

Different strokes for different folks, they have helped me stay stopped as they are none addictive and are pretty handy for those times when stress would have pushed me to have a real one.....

RE: Giving up smoking! Your Diary.

I did similar but put them all outside in the shed and there they stayed till a friend ran out a few months later - the fear of running out in the middle of the night took some getting used to

RE: Giving up smoking! Your Diary.

I found some nicotine free tobacco which you can buy in the health food shop and when the craving is terrible I have one of those

RE: Giving up smoking! Your Diary.

I have a neighbour who has the most frightening cough you could imagine. Her sister died of lung cancer a few years back. I stopped smoking 6 months back and have been coughing up the most horrible stuff that had accumulated in my lungs over the years - I no longer sound like my neighbour when I wake up and I have taken steps to make sure I dont die like her sister did, fighting for breath and choking on clogged up lungs - that must be terrifying and what a waste........ I wish you strength Miz

RE: Strong Woman!!!

I got my own ticket, some years back, but thanks all the same

RE: Strong Woman!!!

haha, yep, Im just feeling the pinch of that side of it, my kitchen sink is blocked so Ill be getting down n dirty with that when this coffee is done I would love to play the helpless female card sometimes, I really would

RE: Strong Woman!!!

Ive just been looking at it, even the Winter Flowering Jasmine is struggling with the cold snap we are getting but we are past the longest day and things will be getting better now

Good to see you

RE: Strong Woman!!!

Yes, but that protection is enhanced by strong women, not threatened - xenophobia could be said to be in the genes too but that also has to be dealt with rationally

what happens if the tribe is threatened while the big strong men are off hunting? Do we take the consequences or prepare for all eventualities ?

Theres no choice anyway, we're here to stay

RE: Strong Woman!!!

Thats excellent Konisberg, thank you

RE: WHAT IF GOD WAS TO GO ON STRIKE?

Oh come off it mindfful, you know full well that lots of these threads are started with the sole intention of winding people up - not all of them I agree but save the innocent act for those who it might work on.... Im too long in the tooth for this crap

RE: WHAT IF GOD WAS TO GO ON STRIKE?

RE: WHAT IF GOD WAS TO GO ON STRIKE?

RE: WHAT IF GOD WAS TO GO ON STRIKE?

RE: Giving up smoking! Your Diary.

Goodnight BB, I wish the best for your relative - positive thinking

RE: WHAT IF GOD WAS TO GO ON STRIKE?

Its called the - they are taught that they have a right to force their views on all and sundry...

It amuses me these days, they bring it up then accuse us when we disagree - its all tactical, I think they get stars in church on Sunday or something the male ego, it has a lot to answer for

RE: WHAT IF GOD WAS TO GO ON STRIKE?

Theyre just wind up merchants Medsummer - pay them no heed and theyll go preach elsewhere - they are probably old antagonists with different names anyway

RE: WHAT IF GOD WAS TO GO ON STRIKE?

another one from Ricky Gervais

"To the Christians who were clearly being patronizing and suggesting that a lack of belief in their God equates to immorality and therefore that I need saving, I also say thank you. It's nice that you believe you are putting a good word in for me. However you shouldn't really be telling me about your prayers according to your rule book.

"Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you, they have their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you" (Mathew 6:5-6)

RE: WHAT IF GOD WAS TO GO ON STRIKE?

Attack my foot - religion has had its day and its as simple as that

RE: WHAT IF GOD WAS TO GO ON STRIKE?

Thanks and you too SA - thats a great new piccie

RE: WHAT IF GOD WAS TO GO ON STRIKE?

a holiday message from Ricky Gervais

"“Do unto others…” is a good rule of thumb. I live by that. Forgiveness is probably the greatest virtue there is. But that’s exactly what it is -­- a virtue. Not just a Christian virtue. No one owns being good. I’m good. I just don’t believe I’ll be rewarded for it in heaven. My reward is here and now. It’s knowing that I try to do the right thing. That I lived a good life. And that’s where spirituality really lost its way. When it became a stick to beat people with. “Do this or you’ll burn in hell.”

You won’t burn in hell. But be nice anyway."

RE: Giving up smoking! Your Diary.

even your winding up wont start me again

RE: Giving up smoking! Your Diary.

I stopped smoking this year, I never thought I would but that was the stumbling block, you have to believe in yourself first and foremost - the NHS stop smoking programe is brilliant and second to none - its tailored to the individual and the way that cuts are happening at the moment I encourage anybody whos thinking of using the service to do so while its still available

RE: The Funniest Christmas Dinner Ever

hahaha, brilliant

RE: They changed their roles-men and women of the West...

haha

There arent even jobs for the men never mind the women - the traditional role model thing is out of the window and with the way the earth water is getting poisoned we will all be hermaphrodite in the next 25 years anyway.........

RE: They changed their roles-men and women of the West...

God who?

RE: They changed their roles-men and women of the West...

and didnt get back into education till I finally got to uni at the age of 50, I never lost sight of that dream..... I was powerless over my own future - I made damned sure that wasnt ever going to happen to my children.....
