RE: Let's Play a Game

lollygag

A fun quiz...

It was working when I posted it.

Sorry, folks.

RE: Let's Play a Game

lackadaisical

A fun quiz...

My result:

You are the heart. "The heart is a muscular organ in all vertebrates responsible for pumping blood through the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions, or a similar structure in annelids, mollusks, and arthropods." You are very compassionate and understanding towards other people. Like the heart, you experience emotion whereas the other organs do not (except for the brain, but we're not focusing on that right now). Even with strangers you are warm and kind and everyone loves you! In short:

You are more EXTROVERTED than INTROVERTED.

You are more EMOTIONAL than LOGICAL.

You are more CALM than ENERGETIC.

Very accurate. I am more heart than anything else, and glad of it. And according to many of you here, I didn't need this test for you guys to know it, too.

RE: The next Harry Potter movie will be released on July 15th, 2009. Are you going to see it?

Yes, but not in the theaters. When it comes out on DVD, I'll buy it and my sons and I will watch it together. I have to admit, they have me hooked.

RE: Blind dates yes or no?

I would date a blind man, but I would not date a man blind.

RE: What would you like your legacy to be?

That I was a good mother, a good friend, and helped many as a Naturopath and Healer.

RE: in the 70's

Yeah...no clue where mine are, or even if my mother could find any!

Love the long hair, PH! Typical of the day.

RE: The Gods are the dreams of men and women?

SF, you have described much of what I believe in, though there are a few differences in our beliefs. Like you, I feel God is a Universal Divine/Intelligent Energy Force that we are part and parcel of, not separate from, and that we control and create our own lives because of this. To some extent. Some of it I believe we wrote before we came into this body, and thereby some of it we have no control over now. We wrote it in advance, when we were still in spirit form, and made agreements with others that we must fulfill.

Oh, we can choose not to fulfill it, but then we go against our Higher Self, and that's never wise.

Anyway, to get back to God. You say that you don't understand those like me who can feel God...yet can't you? Reach out with your senses, and you can feel it. Yes, it's that Force, filled with peace, life, and love. That, my friend, is God. And yes, it's more vast than we humans with our limited minds can understand. We are more vast than we can understand.

The Buddhists and the Qabbalists come closest, I believe.

Namaste, my friend.

RE: Hey I'm a Newby

Welcome, and yes, where there is life, there is always hope. Pull up a comfortable chair, relax, and have fun. Welcome to CS and the forums, and many blessings on your search.

RE: Decent folk.

Ah, it was in his first post. Mensch, not chutzpah (now that I put the pronounced word in, I'll spell it correctly).

RE: Decent folk.

Yes. He always does, my friend. I'll find it interesting as well.

Mensch was an interesting choice of words by him earlier as well. One doesn't hear it used often outside of the Jewish community. Less often, actually, than things like hutzpah.

RE: Graduation.

Oh, and yes, I'm still different. I just revel in it now, and love me for being me. But one doesn't do that as a teen.

RE: Graduation.

I never "fit in" at school. I was a loner, for the most part. Different, so only got along with others who were "different" too, mostly. And other reasons.

And yet, I had the respect of the party/cool crowd who (I discovered years later as one was highly annoyed with what I'd just done) literally kept me on the outside to keep my nose clean. I was told many years later that the reason they didn't invite me to the parties was because I was a good girl, and they all worked together to keep me that way.

Ironies...life is full of them. It didn't keep me that way later. But perhaps it kept me alive for there to be a later.

RE: Decent folk.

Agreed, Sommer.

RE: Decent folk.

That would be something I would have enjoyed when I was younger and more fluent in my other languages. Sadly, I've lost quite a bit of all of them. I can still read and understand some French and Spanish, and German comes back if I get the chance to speak it. Languages always fascinated me, but I never wanted to become an interpreter (as my mother suggested a lifetime ago) because they would lose their aspect of fun. I'd still love to learn Gaelic, southern Irish dialect (my ancestry), another gutteral language.

RE: What do you do when,,,

Very true, Merky.

RE: DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION!

Mine are the djembe, bodhran, and Native American types, though.

Yes, MF, I still love to play card games and board games with my sons. However, I lack the hand/eye coordination for video games, and suck horribly at them. I always died all too quickly on PacMan, Frogger, and Space Invaders, so I don't even try the new ones! My sons try to get me interested in their fantasy games online, but I just have no interest in those. Give me Scrabble any day.

RE: Decent folk.

It's what I thought would be more commonly used there, rather than "decent folk". Most would say "good folk", and it would certainly get the point across.

I knew you'd understand it, Sommer. Easy one, really. I love German...something about its very gutteralness appeals to me, and also the way they have one word that says a phrase when translated to English. Varfegnuegen, for example.

RE: Decent folk.

Ah, there's the thing, Dan...it can mean many things. Good, honest...hmmm. Yes, tough to translate at times. But then, all idiomatic sayings are hard to translate from their native language to another.

"Mon petit chouchou" doesn't work as an endearment in English, for example.

RE: Decent folk.

"guten Volken" perhaps? Argh.

RE: Decent folk.

My suggestion would be to simply say "gut Volken"...it is plural, after all. Correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't spoken German regularly in about 27 years.

RE: Help a sistah out...

I agree that this could be a possibility.

And he could be torn over it, too. Either way, you have to do what feels right to you, Pub. And if he can't accept you the way you are, he's not right for you.

RE: Update on my son & Thank You!!

I'm glad to hear that he is well and doesn't have the horrible complications that this can cause. Thank you for updating us, and letting us know what you found out.

If you'd like information on things he can do to strengthen his immune system, please email me. I will gladly help you. There are herbals and nutritional changes that would help him to recover even more, and prevent him from having any further serious worries with his health.

RE: Evolution Breeds Insanity!!!!

One can't prove a negative, so one can't prove "non-existence" of anything.

RE: Graduation.

My younger son graduates from 8th grade next week. A chapter of his life is over, and next year he starts high school.

As to my own school days? I don't have very many pleasant memories of them, really. A few, but most of those revolve around the time spent with friends on the weekends. And I don't remember too much of those weekends, either...which is what I enjoyed about them.

RE: can women love a man who can't get it up?

By the way, in my studies I've learned that there are Flower Essence therapies that work better than little blue or yellow pills, and have no side effects, as opposed to the drugs and herbal remedies for ED.

No time this morning for more details, but if anyone is interested in learning more, email me. I'll be happy to send it to you, and I never reveal confidences.

RE: Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier

Wow, they've got to be dedicated. I had a buddy who was in the Old Guard, but I don't know if he ever did tomb duty. We lost touch over the years. I do know he did duty in Arlington Cemetery though.

Very interesting, Snuggs. Thank you for sharing this.

RE: You girls are funny.... You know you are always checking us out!

Well, that's a new name for it.
