RE: darkness, bruises and smiles !

When the moon is full - I enjoy looking at it, or just at the moonlit landscape.

RE: Cryptic Words

Insane?

In ..... sane.

Doesn`t make sense, does it?

If you are In Sane, then you must be Sane.

And if you are just Sane, then you are not Insane.

Where is everyone these days?

"Sweet" Italian children ....? Are they as "sweet" as the Swiss brats?

I always try and make sure I`m not on the streets when they come out of school ......! It`s like they all drink Red Bull (energy drinks) for morning break!

RE: "O Mein Gott"

Yes ... very intelligent thread, I must say!

No wonder everyone has pissed off ...!

Where is everyone these days?

Greetings Jan

You still gallivanting around the world?.. teaching..?

Where is everyone these days?

Greetings Bertrand.

Yes, not so interesting .......

But nice to "meet up" with some of the old members .. and nice to know they do pop in now and again - sort-of like an "extended family" situation!

I`m still the Grandma here - I think? But I`m a happy Granny, just keeping my eye on this little family here.

RE: Why is it harder to find a partner than a new job when over 40 ?

It`s equal to any age, finding a partner.
Easy to find someone to be with, who may not necessarely make a "good partner".

If one has been a loner all one`s life,
then you got entrenched habits and it`s not easy to change them - which one has to sort-of do to fit in with another person (?..my opinion)

Mistrust .. yes to a degree. But one should have become a bit wiser over time.

Must always have Hope. Without hope you don`t know what it is you are looking for.

"Fearing the future" ..... we "trust" in so much every day ... why not "trust" the future as well ... to provide what it is you are wanting?

Over 5 years old, everyone has been disappointed.

Leaving the "baggage" behind is important. No-one wants to really hear long boring stories from history.

Duties from the pre-life are part and parcel of an ongoing life.... it`s part of Who You Are.

The last two sentences ...... are up to the person, and what they REALLy want!

.............................? ...........?........

RE: Beer for breakfast (have you ever)

And very very healthy for you .... equal to about 7 slices of white bread

.... and guess where it land up?... somewhere around the belly

Where is everyone these days?

Hi Bental! Did your dog pass on to that Happy Hunting Ground in the Sky?

And ... you are Grandpa now too....?

Where is everyone these days?

"warmer" inside ... yes!

Where is everyone these days?

Where is everyone these days?

Tule ... you are one of the clever ones! And I see a great huge improvement in your english writing skills!

Where is everyone these days?

Yeah ... I suppose when the sun shines everyone`s out making ...... hay...?

So after the snow arrives .... everyone gets back behind their computers.

Where is everyone these days?

Ahem ... oh.. okay......

Where is everyone these days?

I pop in here occassionaly - to see what is happening.

But things seem SO slow? Why?

Where have all the players gone to? No-one seems to reply to threads very much .. just a few "old-timers" mostly, and a very few new-comers.

EU forum used to be a very witty, friendly place.

But now..? Not very interesting anymore ..... or is it?

Is everyone over at the International side of the forum?

Don`t you just love this ....?

Most amazing .. the music is absolutely classic!

RE: Cryptic Words

It`s Thursday, and after tomorrow is the weekend .... so my brain is not too bright at the moment ...... only one I can come up with is .....

Dog ... God ....

..Follow ... wallow? nah that`s got 2 w`s

time to go have a nap!

RE: i am back honey, but i have horns !

A Beaver (my totem animal) ..... but I`d also choose to live in the Rhine somewhere near Eglisau - lots of trees to chew down!

RE: How do I overcome my shyness?

Personal confrontation is different to performing on a stage to hundreds .....

You need to see the person you are talking to as an individual .. with the same fears and feelings as you have.

Just let go ... and relax ... and talk. Tell her about your shyness .... women appreciate a man who shows some emotion.

RE: Fig Jam and all things figgy,lol - ideas? -:)

Iraqi`s (and the Greeks too, I think) use fig leaves to make rice rolls.....

A guy here, he drops them into boiling water to soften them ... then rolls them around spiced up rice ... or mince meat concoctions (or rice and meat combined) ... pours over some olive oil, or tomatoe mixture, and bakes them ... or steams them.

Very versable they are ... and must be healthy or else all those folk would not be eating them, huh?

The softened fig leaves are also sold here in delicatessen shops .. for the middle eastern folk to make their special dishes with.

RE: Jans email has been hacked

Okay, I have contacted the CS Mods about this, it must be some hacker into their programme.

Have you ever .........?

Never had a "pound" to lose .... only ZAR, Euro, and Chf ..... but I haven`t lost any of those .....(I think)

Maybe because I never walk past money lying on the ground...?

An old German friend taught me that years ago ... never to walk past money - or money "walk past you".

Similar to the old saying .... "Food in the bin, is a Sin"...?

RE: The New World Order

Yes, you may be right .... it is not the people .. it is their attitude.... rather demanding.

And SO many wars around the world? ... Americans running into other countries to fight.

RE: Jans email has been hacked

Thanks ooby dooby!
YES ..... this is going around.

I received an email from an old old member of CS - out of the blue - with just a link.

Luckily I didn`t open it - just sent him a reply email.

He mailed (from Malta) that he had not sent it - his address thingy had been hacked.

Today I got another from a member of CS whom I had also been in contact with via our private email adresses - deleted it.

I think it would be a good idea to mail one`s friends and contacts to tell them about this...?

RE: Can anybody answer this?

Josi ... If my first ex wasn`t dead I`d swear blind she`d married HIM! But he`s not around so it wasn`t him.

Yes, there is as particular breed of man who is like that. And very hard to spot before getting involved with them. One has to learn to "read the signs".

I knew someone else who was married to one of those ...... she managed to get hold of his gun one day and emptied the magazine into him.

The judge let her off the manslaughter charge (or murder, I forget what it was) because of the injuries she had suffered from for over 10 years. Broken limbs, burnt skin, terrible scars both physical and emotional, internal injuries ......

I was lucky in my experience - I only got 2 broken fingers and 2 dislocated ones .....And the Russian Roulette spins were lucky for me too .. unless there were actually no bullets in the gun anyway ......

Tell her to escape, as soon as possible. She will survive.

RE: The New World Order

Well darl, if you, as an American, believe what you write, then yes ..... there must be something pathetic about America.

Well, there is actually something pathetic about most countries politicians. They seem to have gotten themselves into the position of not representing what their people want - they just do whatever they want - playing with the working people`s money ..... So, maybe it`s time for people to actually keep track of who they vote for, and make them account for themselves ... and their bank accounts?

Huh ....?

RE: The New World Order

Nein, I do not think this is a "victory" - it`s all a political manouvre - for what reasons ...? .... Well, time will tell, I guess.

People get voted into positions ... not for their brain power ..... but by some behind the scenes shenanigans .... and of course they enjoy all the perks their position brings them, but they really have no clue about running a country - and no real power to actually do anything about it ... they are all just pawns in a game.

And us the public are their little pawns that get shoved around.

But ..... if you can enjoy the sunshine, and each day ...well .... what else can one do?

Have you ever .........?

Yes .... it`s called "A Monkeys Wedding".... Dunno WHO came up with that name for it .....?

RE: Every One So Confused

Oh sorry ... it`s called "Pool"......

Interesting about America going down the tubes, huh?

Well ....... people want to vote a Chicago Lawyer into the Presidents seat .. what do they think is going to happen to their money?

Have you ever .........?

Interesting life is huh? .......

Nah, no new ideas yet. Those were just the ones I taught my grandkids........ to try out in OTHER peoples houses!
