RE: Whats your take on women who are comfortable being a home maker?

I have always wanted to be a home maker. I thought I would totaly enjoy just being at home, taking care of home, garden, plants, animals, children ... and my husband, of course...:D. I even wanted to home-school my children as I'm a teacher and acquaited with Waldorf style of education... Well, as I have always been curious, hard-working, interested in different things, I would have also probably tried to work something from home ... Nothing came of it because I dedicated half of my adult life to a wrong man and have been single for another half...
I have to make my living now, have always been independent, yet I'm still a home-maker at heart -- I enjoy being at home when I can and enjoy my plants, animals, and home spirit -- even if in a very simple way....and I sometimes work from home ....

I think being a home maker, if taken seriously, is nothing to be ashamed of, because it is a full job and a very soulful one.... the world needs them ... (It's a different story, of course, if "home making" is just an excuse for laziness and dependancy ...)

RE: How responsible are you?

I didn't take the poll because I don't really like the options. I see responsibility as a bit more serious and rather important ethic principle on different levels: responsibility to other people (keeping promises, taking care and being dutiful, helping when one can, etc.), responsibility to oneself (taking care of oneself on all levels, taking responsibility for one's thoughts, words and actions, etc.), responsibility at work and business, responsibility to nature and environment, etc.
In this view, taking care of the house and animals before leaving home seems a rather basic responsibility to me....

RE: Why do so many people mention that....

I think it's their way of saying how sophisticated they are...

A lot of people nowadays forget that travelling is not a necessity but luxury and it doesn't necessarily widen your horizons or make you more sophisticated or a better person. Those who can afford it usually never think of many more of those who cannot afford it. To expect that people would give up travelling because of this or because they are aware of ecological influences of transport and tourism on the environment is obviously too much to expect.... from selfish people.....
I don't travel a lot because I'm aware of all that and because I also believe that if one has travelled all around the world but hasn't travelled into the depths of his own heart and soul he hasn't been anywhere and hasn't seen anything.....

RE: Very early Bee Gees

I used to listened to some of their pieces....;)
They have always had this perfect harmony of voices. I think this was the basis of their success.

They are so young in this video I wouldn' even recognize them if the host didn't present them as Bee Gees

RE: Hurt people hurt people

Being hurt is normal human condition....
Who can say that he/she hasn't been hurt?
But it's the depth of hurt that matters...
Yes, deep hurt is always played out on others...or (equally often) back on oneself -- depends if the person is more extroverted or introverted....
But pain and hurt is also an opportunity to grow..
And we shouldn't condemn people who have been hurt (because it isn't their fault), even if they have hurt us. It's OK and right if we distance ourself from them to stop hurting, but knowing what is behind their behaviour should help us develop forgivness and compassion towards them...

RE: Strive to be happy, you child of the universe.

I came across Desiderata while I was in London (at language school) 26 years ago. While still in London I bought a poster with Desiderata in English and back at home I had it on my room door for years. Knew it almost by heart, still know certain verses. There's so much truth and wisdom in it, and life with its experience proves it day by day...Such pieces are "perennial as the grass"...;)

RE: Arts! and Crafts!

I make dolls and stuffed toys with natural materials such as wool, felt and cotton, or I design and sew clothes for myself or friends...

RE: fake profiles

I have just got a mail here from somebody with an English name (no pic), located in Spain, who told me in a massage written in Slovak language (which is not my language, btw, but maybe he thought so) that he works for US army in Afganistan and wanted me to write him on his private mail immediately.
I guess his nationality is...............Scammer (and I told him so)

RE: Spiritual?

That, and actually working on your own spiritual growth through some spiritual practices that exsist (New Age, Shamanism etc.), or following, reading, listening to some known spiritual teacher(s) -- there are many of them nowadays (intellectual, psychic, heart, body teachers....) who help on different levels and on different paths to the s. c."spiritual awakening" through things like understanding, meditation, grounding, cleansing, healing, prayer, mindfulness, yoga etc. That is, in my opinion and in very general terms, what nowadays is considered "spiritual but not religious"...

RE: There's only TWO ways to write a profile

I agree.
The problem in the case of No 2 is that "the net" or "filter" you have crafted so neatly in a lot of cases doesn't work.......because lots of people simply DON'T READ profiles, and some of those who do, DON'T GET IT...

RE: Care and Love

I usually care and love more then they do......that's why I'm single....

RE: What´s the best country to visit in the EU?

I'll recommend Slovenia, of course -- little enough to see it all almost in two or three days, safe, relatively cheap, great natural variety, kind and hospitable people (all speaking English), nice climate, mountains, see, lakes, good food etc.
But generally, each country is beautiful and interesting, depends on what you are looking for and what you would like to do there.....Do some research, or try to follow your instict -- where does it lead you......
