If I'm welcome to join, and since I don't know anyone, I also asked how we're gonna identify our group cause from what I've noticed it seems to be a question that all are asking !
Cheers[/quote
Wear something SO outrageous you stand out in the crowd?
Why not make it an "OUTRAGEOUS MEET-UP" ...?
Like ...... the guys could wear a pair of horns on their head ....? Or wear Elton John sunglasses....? ...or come dressed in red tights and lycra body suit...?
Just don`t come as "Michelle"! That`s the guy who arrived naked with a naked woman on his shoulders ... and said "I`m a Snail, and she`s Me Shell"
OR ... hey good idea, (I always have Good Ideas )........
Just each make a CS sign ... and the BEST and most Original one gets a free beer paid for by the others?
Saturday 6th August, in Bugiba or however you spell it.
At Fat Harry`s.... at least I think Fat Harrys is in Bugiba....? ..that nice holiday atmosphere little town. I was there for a getogether a few years ago, and it was fantastic .... good music, good vibe.
"Mankind" is a generic word, like "Animals" and "Birds".
Did you know ....... Women used to run things on planet Earth...? Things were going so well, for so many millions of years, that the masculine species decided it was so easy they could do it, so they took over, relegating women to 2nd class citizens (in the olden days women NEVER relegated men to that position, they just assumed it, naturally, and were happy enough having things run smoothly) ...........
Ever heard of the City of Atlantis?... that place where Men took over, created great advanced scientific laboratories, and blew up their part of the world? And ever after took over the role of Politicians .... running the planet.
The problem we have now, is that there has developed a "competition" for "superiority". And when beings have to prove their superiority, it is because they are inferior - in a natural way in certain fields, not ALL fields. Men are very good at working hard, and hunting, and certain types of organisation, the problems surface when they get greedy and want other countries and then we have wars, instead of tilling and caring for the land.
Of course, that is all just my own personal opinion, and what I have observed over the last 10,000 or so years........
Allegories are simple stories to illustrate a meaning, same as parables. And the GPS and shoe story was an parable.
When one writes using a parable it is not a personal story, merely an illustration.
But anyways ...... Women need to know this: A man cannot be changed. Oh he may change, but he will NOT change for the better - he will only get worse. So ... if he cannot be accepted for who/what/how he is .. then do not accept him. Leave him for another woman who may find who/what/how he is more acceptable for her.
And to know if the person is suitable or not ... the "road signs" .... or just plain "signs" ... are the little, or sometimes large, things he does, or does not do, and by being able to "read the signs" one then deciphers the intent and basic character of that other person.
And then he made us "nubiles" ..... an improvement, and to improve us he gave us His superior intelligence.
You gotta admit ....... Good looks AND Intelligence .... well, let`s leave it at that, and just accept it.
..................
Ever heard about when God made mankind...?
He asked them what they wanted the most in life.
And the man, Adam, said "I wanna be able to stand up and pee! Please pleeease pleeeeeeaaase God, can I have something so I can stand up and pee?" And so God gave him a "stand up and pee" thingy.
And then he turned to the woman and said "Okay honey, YOU get the brain".
Me, I got the dangerous hell-fire gung-ho granny side, and I got the gentle refined sympathetic granny side ... and the two of them argue all the time! And the only way to settle the argument is to go talk to the big old trees in the forest.
I agree with Ray ...... and it is a fact of life that the Roman Catholic church is not the True Path of Christianity - simply because, as Ray states, it was absorbed into the RC church together with all the pagan religions, to gain popularity with the common folk ..... A little bit of each religion was blended with another until we have Oestrus fertility rites celebrated with eggs at Easter to celebrate the Cross of Christianity, and the Tree of the Druids/Celts at Christmas melded with Isis and her son Osiris (from the Egyptian/Babylonians) ..... celebrated by stuffing ourselves with food and drink instead of giving to the poor.
Hey! ..... the difference, in case you want to argue finer points - The Catholic Cross has a dead Jesus hanging on it - and the other scene favoured by them is the baby Jesus in the manger (both represent a powerless Christ - either a baby or dead.
The Christian Cross is empty - to celebrate Him having risen from death, having triumphed over death - which is the message he delivered.
Simple huh?
And yes ... True Followers of Christ are NOT to be found in church buildings - they are actually hard to find. They are the ones who feed the hungry, clothe the poor, and pray quietly in secret. Not out loud on street corners or over the internet.
The secret to a satisfying spiritual life is to "Seek and you will find it".
Hi Country 47.. ... Same age as ME Keep positive, know what it is you are wanting from life ... and it will arrive! It happened to me. I don`t care to know the the future... What is NOW, Is what is inmportant. And I am very happy to have the experiences I have had, And to have what I have NOW.
My world is just SO wonderful ... there are no pictures worthy of its representation.
(Actually, in real life .... I`m not clever enough to post such lovely photos and videos ... but enjoy to look at you clever young people and what you can do with this amazing machine!)
Hey Darl .... GPS things are for women .. who have to travel without man. Men don`t need GPS, they got a built-in travel direction. Women have to read the road signs..... "Road Signs" ... they indicate which way a relationship is going.
If he makes a request, and she goes to the trouble of organising the trip, and then he cancels .... well ... that is a "road sign". The same as when/if he complains about her new pair of cheap sandals she bought at Flea-market .... the Road Sign says .... :"He is gonna be moaning about every little thing she buys in life" .. THAT is a ROAD SIGN....
If one never learns to read Road Signs then one is going to keep making the same mistakes in life.
Hi Marki! Nice to find you still with us here. Hey!..and you got THE boyfriend! Don`t worry about the cost .. Turkey is affordable ... AND you gonna have FUN!..Neh?!
Oh no! Most definetely! The eyes are not words, and they do not produce words ... they See things that are not transmitted to the immediate realisation ... much the same as animals when they interprete the body language, as much as one would wish to disguise the true feelings behind the body image.
Oh how I wish people would keep their religious beliefs to themselves!
If it works for you, then good.
Me, I prefer the Druids and old time "witches" ... wise men and women who lived in forests and only gave advice when asked for it..... people who actually healed the sick and calmed troubled souls.
But they all got killed off to make way for "modern" religion, at about the same time as the forests began to be destroyed ... to build big cathedrals.
Some of their offspring survived but are referred to as nutters these days - because they refuse to fall into the trap.
All the pretty girls come from South Africa .... Charlize Theron, now this Charlize ..... and ME! We all come from the same hometown too!
Well, anyways ...... this Charlize has now secured her future ... marrying the prince, so whatever happens in the future, she`s not going to go hungry, is she?
Ok, Uli, I go to vote now ...... my vote will be "other", cause I really hope for their sakes they make a go of it.... that they married for the reasons most people get married..... ...which they probably did.
I will be in South Africa, lolling on beaches, eating local food, and drinking local beer. And seeing how all my friends there have aged since I last saw them. Of course, I have not aged at all, only them........
So, in case anyone misses me, just telling you that. And I know you not missing me, because I been away lately, and you didn`t even notice!
Anyone gotten hitched here since I was last perusing this site a couple weeks back? If not .... you all very slow with getting on with life, huh? Looking for the rainbow over the other lands, when it`s actually in your back yard ..... .... so cheers, and enjoy your lives ... till I return....
RE: Condolences To Oslo.
Yes, very sad, and very horrifying, that any person could do such a crime against innocent people.
