For whoever.....

Is spreading: Haters be hating, lovers be loving, spread love, not hate. Keep on living and loving.

I'm so excited.....

I'm happy you got to see your son, and hope you'll get to see your mom soon again too.

Thank God that the restrictions are over, and we've survived the worse..... Let's hope it gets even better, and we never have to go through such a mass pandemic again.

RE: I marry you

Hmmm! What else should I ask?.....Where is the love???

I'm so excited.....

Yes, it was 1 hour late, but worth it. Last time he was here was the summer of 2018. He's here for 1 week, but I plan to go to Germany later in the year. It's been raining a lot here, and today it's stormy weather, so we've had some together time, as the other 2 children aren't at home.

I'm so excited.....

LOL. Ti amo tu humour.....a veces

RE: I marry you

Late, but.......Can't marry without the ring, soooo..... where's the ring? How, when and where will you marry me?

I'm so excited.....

@Dakari: I thought you considered yourself a man. How come you don't know how to excite a woman? Do you need lessons in love/how to excite women?

I'm so excited.....

@Dakari/Bnaughty: are you a real man? I have always thought if you as being a mouse... . so small.

I'm so excited.....

@ Kanga and Merc: Thank you both. The plane was almost 1 hour late, but it was worth the wait. Yep, he flew Lufthansa from Munich.

I'm so excited.....

Bnaughty, I see you're back again, wonder how long this profile will last this time. The other one was quite short lived.

I'm so excited.....

The Covid Virus, kept a hard grip on the world from 2019, till it's worst 2020 - 2022, some of us lost our loved ones, other family members, friends, neighbours, aquaintances or someone we knew. I'm sorry for your loss.

Tomorrow, at this time 12:05, CET, my oldest son and I'll be at the airport in Copenhagen, hopefully embracing my son who lives in Germany, and will be visiting for a short holiday. We haven't seen eachother since the summer of 2018, we've talked on the phone, but never made video calls. I'll be interesting to see if and how much he's changed since we last met. He's the second of my 3 children, and in a few weeks, he'll be 29 years old......Gosh, how times flies.

Even though this song has a different meaning, expresses how I feel.

I added a banana as a smiley, remembering that he doesn't like bananas. When he was a child, he liked bananas so much, that we once wrapped one and as a joke, gave it him as a birthday present. He accepted and ate it (he got real presents also). After that he has never eaten a banana....it must have traumatised him . He's also the only one of my 3 children, who never has any wishes when it comes to presents......he accepts what he gets, or says "no, there's no need to buy a present." The other 2 always know what they want to have, and it's always something expensive.

No, oats is right. If it were made of goats milk, it wouldn't be vegan.

RE: If you ever wanted to donate to a charity, What charity would you like to help

I don't give to charities, as a vast amount of the money goes to the managers etc. If it's a charity organisation, why can't the people managing it work for less money than other managers, or even work for free?

I don't give money to beggars on the streets, as I pay taxes for my income, and they wouldn't pay any from it. If they ask for something to eat, I buy them the food of their choice, which is usually a coffee and sandwich or some fast food......have always done that. However, a few years ago, a young beggar woman asked a man for money to buy food, he replied that "he didn't have any cash on him, but had just bought some plain buns/rolls from the bakery, without any thing in them, and she could have one if she wanted". She replied "yes", however, no sooner had the man turned the corner of the building, she threw the bread in the garbage bim she had been standing by, and walked away. Since then, I've decided that if anyone askes for something to eat, I'll buy it for them, but remain at their side, until they have eaten all of it.

I grew up learning not to waste food, as there's always someone who would be glad to have what I want to throw away.

Not hotel mama.

Thanks Coldheaven: They say a mothers love never dies, and no matter how old they are, they'll always be our children, but I refuse to treat my adult children as thought they're small children.

Not hotel mama.

They pay even less than a 1/3 of the overall costs......rent, housing insurance, electricity, internet, even if they were to rent a room in someone's apartment, they'd have to pay more than they pay me. They buy their own food and toiletries, as well as are responsible for keeping their rooms and the kitchen clean. I clean my room and the toilet/bathroom.

Not hotel mama.

"If you want to teach your children to be responsible in life, then do that. Most of the elites life-styles seem to teach their children to feel entitle......."

@ Friendship4ever: I agree with you about the responsibility and the feeling of entitlement. Until a year ago, I worked 6 years taking care of children aged 1 - 14, and I must say, the majority of them have no respect for adults, don't know how to be responsible, expect us to "run and pick up" after them, and seem to think that we adults owe them everything. I was glad when I decided to go back to working with the elderly, they're much more appreciative, and I still learn something "new" in a positive way, from them most days.

Not hotel mama.

Rental apartments in Malmö are expensive and not easy to get. It can take 5-6 years of being registered in a queue, with the big rental housing companies, before you get an apartment. It's quicker if you rent 2nd hand, but if people rent out their apartments illegally, you're left homeless in less than 1 month.

My older son 31, and my youngest child 27, moved in with me few months ago, because they both have a low income. I rent a 2 bedroom apartment, with enough space blocked off in the livingroom for privacy with a single bed, so that's how we're living.

Today, I met someone downtown, who I haven't seen in almost 2 years, she asked another my children, somehow, the conversation got on the financial side, and when she heard that the two living with me have to pay part of the rent, she said I was being "unfair towards my children,".....they each pay less than 1/3 of the rent, but have to buy their own food and toiletries. The woman and her husband, own a house, and their 2 children aged 20 and 25, live at home, and pay nothing.

Growing up, my mom always said "there's no such thing as hotel mama." She made sure that the 6 of us, even the boys, knew how to wash, cook, and take care of a household. We even paid her a small part of our salaries for rent and food, I taught my 3 children the same.

Am I being unfair to my grown children by having them pay rent, after all it's something they would have to do, if and when their finances improve, and they move out again.

RE: crazy britain.

There's a similar tax system in Stockholm and Gothenburg, it's too stop the build up of traffic in the city centre. In Stockholm there are different prices, depending on which time of the day you you drive in or out. If you drive in or out the city centre, between 06:00 and 18:30, you have to pay taxes. It's cheaper from december to february.

RE: “Indigenous Chief Wants To Take Back Ben & Jerry's HQ Built on 'Stolen' Land“

If there's a real probable cause for the Native American Indians to reclaim that pieceof land, eg., a sacred tribal burial ground.......yes, but on the other hand, if one tribe succeeds only because it eas stolen during colonisation, many will follow, and may also succeed.

So what happens then to the other people who are not Native American Indian? The "poor everyday Joe, who bought his/her land" in good faith?

RE: “Indigenous Chief Wants To Take Back Ben & Jerry's HQ Built on 'Stolen' Land“

I replied to this about 2 hours ago, but it's disappeared.

RE: “Indigenous Chief Wants To Take Back Ben & Jerry's HQ Built on 'Stolen' Land“

It's ice cream made from oats drink (milk), instead of cows milk and is 100% vegan.

RE: “Indigenous Chief Wants To Take Back Ben & Jerry's HQ Built on 'Stolen' Land“

Love their non dairy ice creams.

RE: Boycott gassed meats

Sorry to hear that. I have something called "thalassamie minor", so sometimes I eat liver, but not often.

RE: Boycott gassed meats

@Loulou: I eat lots of oats, peas, beans, lentils, greek and turkish yoghurt.

RE: People I've Met in CS

I don't find the site bad, love reading the blogs from all over the world and getting inspiration from the food blogs, that's why I keep rejoining. Don't think I'l find a partner here, but you never know.

RE: People I've Met in CS

@Pippa: Sorry to say, but sometimes it's a matter of skin complexion (not wanting to make the blog about race).

I've met 2 men from here, one by chance in the city whilst shopping. Didn't know he had a profile here, as there's no pic. Not only was he in a relationship, he admitted it to me, after I noticed the ring, but after a few more words, he asked if we could to go to my place for sx.

A few months ago, I went on an actual date with a man I chatted with here, his profile pic is old, and when we're met he looked and behaved even much older then his age in the profile.... he seemed to be mid 70', although his profile said 68.

I didn't want to meet him again, as I felt there wasn't any chemistry between us. He didn't like the idea of me saying no to him, so in the end, I had to block him on my phone and here.

RE: People I've Met in CS

Then there are the men, whose first mail is all about sx, especially if you're a black woman (some of my experiences so far), or you exchange a few messages, then they want to know if you'll have sx with them if and when you meet, if you say no, you're frigid and or call you all sorts of nasty words. If you're lucky, all contact ends with your saying "no".

Others pretend to want a serious relationship, and when you meet them, within minutes of meeting, they want to have sx.

Not forgetting the men who say they're honest and are single, have photos in their profiles from when they were in their 30-50's, or saying they're younger than their actual age, and when you meet then..... they look and are much older than in their profiles and are either married or in a relationship.

RE: People I've Met in CS

@Track: Over the past few years I've been on and off here with different profile names, and even thought I've never commented on any of your posts: You are one if my favourite CS bloggers, love reading (laughing at) what you share with us. Please continue being the wonderful man you are. Continue being the oh so sweet Track, and don't ever let anyone try to change you.

RE: Boycott gassed meats

@ Loulou: I'm allergic to soya, nuts and a few other foods that most other vegetarians eat.

RE: Boycott gassed meats

I'm glad I'm a vegetarian.
