RE: Where is the coffee shop these days???

OK, why not.. it's the end of my EIGHT DAYS vacation, so I may as well take a double then. It should be worth celebrating, isn't it, Wooffy?

Baileys on ice, double please ..

RE: Where is the coffee shop these days???

Baileys with ice, please..

Where is that flouncing waiter with a bedimpled smile? He's never around when you need him. I came here specially to see him flounce and he's not here..

Marti, are you taking charge tonight?

RE: True Story.

Ooops! You just said you were kidding.

Sorry, Sambha. Please forget I said a thing.

And wrong thread, too

RE: GREEKS WANTED

Good idea, especially when the weather is hot like this. I'm having a cool drink myself right now. Cheers!

.. And sleep well, Liakos

RE: True Story.

Good to know, Sommer. It never hurts to check .. you'll never know

So you see, Sambha, you worry to much, my friend. That can also be a cause of all unimaginable ailments, you know..

I hope you're not one of those people who spend so much time watching their health that they haven't time to enjoy it.

I eat everything I like; ie. fish, meat, inorganic vegs and fruits; use cellphone and wifi -- and I don't have any health problems .. well, till now anyway. Could it be because I don't watch too much television?

Kidding aside, I think everything taken in moderation does not hurt anybody. Even poison taken on small doses can make your body get immuned to it. On the other hand, too much exercise can also hurt you .. for example. Moderation is the key.

So relax, will you?

RE: GREEKS WANTED

Umm, so early, Liakos? Or those emoticons are just your favorites? It's funny

Have a lovely day

Love Poems for all you Romantics

That is very inspiring. It really moves me. Thanks, Jan..


SADDEST POEM

by Pablo Neruda

I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.

Write, for instance: "The night is full of stars,
and the stars, blue, shiver in the distance."

The night wind whirls in the sky and sings.

I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

On nights like this, I held her in my arms.
I kissed her so many times under the infinite sky.

She loved me, sometimes I loved her.
How could I not have loved her large, still eyes?

I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.
To think I don't have her. To feel that I've lost her.

To hear the immense night, more immense without her.
And the poem falls to the soul as dew to grass.

What does it matter that my love couldn't keep her.
The night is full of stars and she is not with me.

That's all. Far away, someone sings. Far away.
My soul is lost without her.

As if to bring her near, my eyes search for her.
My heart searches for her and she is not with me.

The same night that whitens the same trees.
We, we who were, we are the same no longer.

I no longer love her, true, but how much I loved her.
My voice searched the wind to touch her ear.

Someone else's. She will be someone else's. As she once
belonged to my kisses.
Her voice, her light body. Her infinite eyes.

I no longer love her, true, but perhaps I love her.
Love is so short and oblivion so long.

Because on nights like this I held her in my arms,
my soul is lost without her.

Although this may be the last pain she causes me,
and this may be the last poem I write for her.

RE: Love songs for all you romantics.

Hi there, folks

This is the music that's playing right now in my living room and I'd like to share it with you. I love Europa - no better place I'd rather be:




Have a lovely day

RE: What do you think are your worst qualities?

My worst 'quality' (surely not a quality) is being constantly late. I could be late in my own funeral.

Love Poems for all you Romantics

IF

by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

RE: Are you a foreigner....?

RE: Love songs for all you romantics.

I love this song and I usually sing it when my heart is full. For you:




Good night and sweet dreams!




Bisous

RE: How was your day?

Heyy, Tulefel

Tell us more, please

Does she flounce? (I never really know what that means)

RE: How was your day?

I didn't see this one before, sorry.

Thanks, Imma. I'll be with a friend whose company I enjoy, so I hope we'll have a great time as usual. I think that's the secret of good vacation - good company. I never travel on my own except for job-related reasons.

Talking about jobs, it must require a lot of patience what you do. I admire people who have that virtue because it is not one of my strong points.

Take care and tot ziens

RE: How was your day?

I bet she was. She surely got it from her mom.

But you know, I understand very well how you feel about your loss. Even for people we don't love anymore, it is such a regret when someone passes away. All the more when they were amazing and brought joy into your life.

We can only remember the good things about them and move on with life and the living, with loving memories of them in our hearts.

You take care, Sass. Life is meant to be enjoyed. You have a positive attitude and happiness is there for the taking for those who see life that way.

RE: My cat has temperature

Oh, gosh! Even worse .. he could have a heart attack, Marki!

RE: My cat has temperature

Hi Marki

You're probably holding him too close to your lungs..

Who wouldn't be?

Let him go, Marki.

RE: SWIMMING!!

Hmm, let's see if I can answer some of these. Difficult stuff..

I don't do any swimming. Because I can't swim. And my skin is allergic to chlorinated water. Not a good start, but it gets better

Favourite sport - tennis. I used to watch Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open, Australian Open, Sportpaleis events .. that sport can get my adrenalin pumping just watching it..

Favourite exercise - dancing, at home. Dancing to the beat and rhythms of Tina Turner, Santana, and Hotel Costes. Reason - I enjoy it and been doing it for as long as I can remember.

Sport I liked to do was karate. I tried it, but it was too strenuous.

RE: Are you satisfied from you life? If yes how?

True. I'm afraid I have to agree with Sxc, Sambha. Your current style is a bit frightening.

If Robert is right about the cover up, maybe you should show some tender, sweeter ..ok, that word is maybe a bit over the top .. more gentle (that's a better word) approach. No?

RE: How was your day?

And you deserve to be happy, my girl. Don't know what happened to that thread with Robert, can't see it anymore. What happened? Anyway, I knew you mean well when you said that.. Sorry about your daughter.

RE: How was your day?

Hi Imma Good morning to you! Sunny day in Belgium

What do you mean you got bitten?

As for me, I was in Antwerp, my favourite place. Had to see someone and it went well. Tomorrow I'll be in France for a few days.

Be good while I'm away..

RE: How was your day?

Cheers to that You are a very good match. Sass is great and kind person.

Best wishes!

LIFE IS FINE

by Langston Hughes

I went down to the river,
I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,
So I jumped in and sank.

I came up once and hollered!
I came up twice and cried!
If that water hadn't a-been so cold
I might've sunk and died.

But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!

I took the elevator
Sixteen floors above the ground.
I thought about my baby
And thought I would jump down.

I stood there and I hollered!
I stood there and I cried!
If it hadn't a-been so high
I might've jumped and died.

But it was High up there! It was high!

So since I'm still here livin',
I guess I will live on.
I could've died for love--
But for livin' I was born

Though you may hear me holler,
And you may see me cry--
I'll be dogged, sweet baby,
If you gonna see me die.

Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!

RE: Love songs for all you romantics.

Nice, Lago. can't open the one from Imma before..
