RE: Life in a bubble....

Thank you for the kind words. I'm not always a clear thinker.

Funny thing, your view of your bubbble that is so much fun, with room for all sorts of things, reminds me of the film Barbarella, where she ends up in this place full of bubbles in a kind of psychadelic haze......... A surreal film for sure.....

RE: What are you doing right now?

Went to bed 9 pm, up again at 2.30am, now nearly 4 am and can't sleep. Going to Spain tomorrow to see my daughter and will be drained travelling, (and won't be able to enjoy people watching at the airport), if I can't get some sleep before morning.

RE: Life in a bubble....

I forgot to add, thing is, you can't go back to innocence... ever...... It is just not possible without a lobotomy or something, so that sense of security and peace that innocence brings with it, is lost forever.

RE: Life in a bubble....

I think I know what you mean here. I was once innocent and then got my eyes opened in ways that shocked me. The things people are capable of doing to others was pointed out to me, and it shocked me right out of the bubble I lived in. Things have never been the same since.

It is like some sort of limbo, waiting for something to make things "right" again. I think it has to do with the absence of love and caring, decency and all the moral and ethical values that some people hold dear. Values that they think they are beyond reproach.

A bit like the world failing to meet their standards. I don't think it has to do with the past either, more like a lack of purpose maybe. For me it is a state of stasis.

Maybe I have this all wrong, but it is how I see it. . . . .

RE: Words lost the last 30 odd years.....

laughter fun

RE: its all too fastlane for me.....

Then start taking the sidewalk.

RE: traditional medicine or alternative medicine?

Both have their place and both can be good, or dangerous, if taken in the wrong way, or for too long.

Traditional medicine is essential if you have, for instance, appendicitis, or other surgical problem, or if you get peritonitis or some similar immediate life threatening disease.

RE: Do you believe in a after life

There is no before and after, just a continuation........

RE: What does truth mean on here when you hide behind your screen !

It sure can. I was talking with a woman the other day who has only two grown kids. Both are airline steward/stewardess and she never sees them from one end of the year to another because they fly trans-atlantic flights all the time out of England. At least I get to see mine a couple of times a year.

I'm kind of at the numb stage with the exhibition, not quite knowing what to expect. It is always a bit nerve wracking wondering if the stuff you do will sell and whether it is all worth the effort.

Anyway time will tell.....

RE: What does truth mean on here when you hide behind your screen !

Now that conjures up mind-boggling images... Good day to you too. Hope it is a great one.

RE: What does truth mean on here when you hide behind your screen !

It is working in the usual way of threads, where people get sidetracked.

Social nicities are a must you know! Makes for better communication when people are hiding behind screens.

RE: What does truth mean on here when you hide behind your screen !

Yeah, so far so good. Target almost met completely now. Just got details to do now like sending out invites for opening night, arranging food and wine etc. Will do that this week because am visiting Barca next week on the 8th until the 16th.

I'm on my way back just as your two visitors arrive. Hope you all have a wonderful time for your birthday living it up and laughing. You all deserve it.

RE: What does truth mean on here when you hide behind your screen !

That's for certain. Hi Morgan Hope you are well. Did you have that meeting of the minds with Trisha and Summer yet, or is it still to look forward to?

RE: Some thoughts about usage of forums

A right to say something is fine. The right to say it in an ignorant way is not. You were hardly polite. I have the right to say that too.

My tone wasn't insulting, it was chiding. Don't you know the difference?

RE: Some thoughts about usage of forums

Sounds like giving orders to me........."do this", "get real"...... ( and this is not telling anyone what to do?)

None of that sounds like polite suggestions in my book!

No one allows anyone to talk to them in that tone of voice in this day and age. Can't understand why you think you should get away with it!!!

RE: Some thoughts about usage of forums

You are obviously very observant as well as ignorant. Check my age.....

RE: Some thoughts about usage of forums

Who died and made you the god of CS?

You have no right to tell anyone on here what to do!!!

RE: Does anyone here really enjoy what they do for a living?

I'm an artist at present and love my work.

RE: What Kind Of Thinker Are You?

Your Thinking is Abstract and Sequential

You like to do research and collect lots of information.
The more facts you have, the easier it is for you to learn.

You need to figure things out for yourself and consider all possibilities.
You tend to become an expert in the subjects that you study.

It's difficult for you to work with people who know less than you do.

You aren't a very patient teacher, and you don't like convincing people that you're right.



Fairly accurate I think.

Good, (saintly) men are a figment of women's imagination.

RE: have you met any famous people?

Description?

RE: How Rare Is Your Personality?

Your Personality is the Most Common (ISTJ) (Doesn't look like it though from the previous posts).

About 14% of all people have your personality, including 9% of all women and 17% of all men
You are Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging.

RE: have you met any famous people?

Forgot to add Alex Fergusson, Man United Coach. Also met most of the United and ex United players when I was at a Fergusson wedding a few years ago. They all wore kilts,

RE: have you met any famous people?

Meryl Streep and I are cousins, albeit distant now. Our great grandparents were siblings.

I have had breakfast with the late Billy Graham Sr., the evangelist.

I have had lunch with Sir Cliff Richard, singer.

I entertained the Mc gann family while Paul and his brothers Joe, Mark, and Steven, filmed the Hanging Gale series, for three months. Paul Mc Gann is Dr Who in the Dr Who movie. His family ended up in my house because he was running from the papperazzi at the time for supposedly having an affair with Catherine Zeta Jones.

Gary Kemp from the group Spandau Ballet was a frequent visitor to my house at one time.

I slept in the same bed that the late Mother Theresa used when she was a noviciate in Dublin many years ago.

I shook hands with ex-president Clinton in Derry some years back when he came to NI. He definitely had the "wow" factor in person.

I sang in the same concert, on the same stage as the late Joe Locke, Irish tenor, many years ago.

I have met and hung out with many internationally known Irish actors over the years, Peter Caffrey being one of my favourites.

Enya's sister is one of my best friends. I have been invited to many of their family functions and been in Moya Brennan's (Clannad), house in Dublin some years back.

I have jammed with Altan on new years eve '95. (Trad group)

RE: Why do you finally end a relationship?

RE: Why do you finally end a relationship?

For me this wouldn't be true. I have never had a man cheat on me but found it impossible to live with someone who lives a solitary selfish life within a relationship with no effort at changing.

I suppose everyone is different.

RE: Why do you finally end a relationship?

My opinions were never counted as being relevant. There was no equality. His way or no way, which , to be fair, I'd go along with for some considerable time, then one day I'd decide that he had enouch chances to be fair, and was still wanting it all his own way, even after countless discussions that he'd pay no attention to, and that would be it, I'd go.

Don't know for certain what that last straw is, it just happens, no big fuss, no fight, no moodiness, just a clear decision one day, and it is over for good. Kinda like wakening up to the fact that things will never change, and walking away finally.

RE: Onions fight flu virus...

Some people are clean freaks, don't like the smell on their skin or on their breath. Others are "conditioned" to listen to conventional methods only as "proven", "trusted" answers to medical problems. The same history that discredited women discredited traditional medicines with it as witchcraft....

Some peole actually believe that crap!

Some don't even like onions so never have them in the house. There are many reasons.

RE: Onions fight flu virus...

You can leave an onion out for a day or two without any signs of oxidisation, but put it on a sick person and it happens almost straight away. Very different.
