Until later, draga

RE: I Would Like so Much Thread

I hope someone worthy will take them as a hint to venture further

RE: Dear fellow CS'ers

You got it perfectly right...

That was phoenix in true essence.

The invisibility act has other reasons on the far side.

<- Cheap plonk For Irish straightforwardness in their way

<- Good stuff And this one for Trish, after all she is the one being cheered, a second round.

Aerosmith

RE: I Would Like so Much Thread

Nope. Not that, but there exist a possibility to write a testimonial for friends if you like too, it can help people to come past the first worries about if a person is real and genuine or not.

I just made one of those.

RE: I Would Like so Much Thread

About time then

I just came to think of something. You will see soon....

RE: I Would Like so Much Thread

I never checked you age, taking for granted we were in the same "neighbourhood".

Just did that, my error, but a nice one for once

Have you got any idea what age you act and look?

RE: I Would Like so Much Thread

No, that is your irons job, but the sap will keep it the way you ironed it, without staining or being overly stiff (I can not feel it when it has settled in the cloth, it is just there, not at all like ordinary starch, that makes textile close to cardboard).

RE: "cell phones" - are they more of a fashion icon or a necessity ?

I am dependent on them since I am not near a land line many minutes of the day.

It has become a freaky business:

- If I leave it behind (on purpose) I can still feel it vibrate in my pocket as if it is calling.
- I check for it even though I know I don’t have it.
- When I have it, I check if I have got missed calls every five minutes but I would not miss an incoming call anyway because of the buzz and vibration it makes.

I need therapy. Well, that’s not new, but I need a cell phone detox too

I do have the courtesy to leave the table and the restaurant when in a call and take it outside, in the lobby or in the street if there is none.

RE: The National Friday Nights Parties

I had a home in Dublin 2 once, it could count

Ever wanted to be a Party crasher?

RE: How long must it last? Each one?

Must

Thoughts like that will have it last too long, or worse - never happen

RE: I Would Like so Much Thread

As is, bottle it in the early spring when the sap rises naturally.

Make a small cut in the tree and stick a pin in there, hang a container under or lead it off in a tube. You get litres of it in a few days.

It contains a light mixture of sugar and is clean enough to drink directly from the source. We used to make brews (alcoholic) with it.

The sugar in the sap is naturally contained and works great as a weak starch and as long as you let it "soak" in properly in the cloth, without drying, the sap will leave no marks but make the plissé look fabulous. It does work well in low temperature, while a red hot iron will make a burn. It is sugar after all.

And here is a secret: Birch sap. Birch grows in Ireland too....

RE: I Would Like so Much Thread

Try tailor medieval dresses in the hundreds, using only natural materials (linen and wool, no cotton) from the time envisioned and iron it with cast iron ironer every morning in a tent for two weeks.

You do get good at it

But as Miro say, it helps if you enjoy it, and I do, it is like meditation somehow.

RE: lip to lip

Of all people in here (me included) he has showed the most tolerance and humour of all. If that is being a moron... where do I apply?

Not that I understand a bit of what is going on, but it sure does not disturb me.

RE: Do you agree that "love is only a feeling"?

If you agree to change "only a" to "a wonderful", I will.

RE: I Would Like so Much Thread

Great!

Sommer will have to be the judge.

Three items - bed linnen, sommer dress (with plissé) and a mans shirt.

No shiny bits, plissé edges evenly distributed and not too much starch on the collar of the shirt.

She is a stunner. But do not tell her

RE: Are there any raelians apart from me out there?

Buddha has never been divine, it is a nickname for a guy that had second thoughts about how to live life in a better way.

Most said about him are made up after his passing on, but he was at least not son of any god or such. More of a life style advisor put in a modern wording. If that can be called a prophet, then ok, but to me he was simply wiser than his fellows at the time (and in our time).

Basically there should be nothing stopping one person to have a faith in a god (make a pick) and follow advice of Buddha at the same time

RE: On line petition for lago....to 'un-hide' his profile..

Stable And yours?

RE: Are there any raelians apart from me out there?

Raëlian
Make a search for Raëlism, Raëlian Movement and Raëlian Church

Jor-El
Look up Superman

Theravada
Well, thats old fashioned Buddhism, no need lookìng up

RE: Are there any raelians apart from me out there?

Very well ...

RE: I Would Like so Much Thread

What worries them is that they really need to see the dentist and it scares the living soul out of them.

Believe me. I am one of them

RE: Are there any raelians apart from me out there?

The comic strip or the guy in Hana?

RE: Are there any raelians apart from me out there?

Mate, you need this - ë - to go on with this thread

You know I am a lost soul within the Theravada, but it is an interesting angle Raëlians have. And to a point there are more actual physical objects supporting that theory than any other.

RE: I Would Like so Much Thread

The rest? out of 365, how many are there?

RE: I Would Like so Much Thread

Joanne Rowling did.

Go ahead, find a publisher

Out of 365 you should get a first out, and then the rest will follow.
