RE: What was before the Big Bang???

Maybe our Big Bang is the equivalent of a Wood Louse in a kitchen table....?

Its Big Bang was when the table got made.

It knows nothing of how the tree grew, or how it got chopped down, went thru the sawmill, then the carpentry shop, then the wholesaler, the retailer, and ended up in the kitchen of the house where Wood Louse landed in its little egg that fell out of the ceiling..........

Of course all the people who use that table are like UFO`s in its Universe .........

RE: Beaches

The Wild Coast in South Africa .... just a pity the folk there are also rather "wild"........

RE: Trying to help someone and this site seem full of people

And I may add .... trying to use a Singles Site as a Free Legal Advice system is totally ridiculous!

There are lots of Online Lawyers you can ask, but I think you also got to pay for their advice.

How are the Bees in your country?

Excellent, thank you Phoenix!

I wonder how the Genetically Modified plants will affect Bees? .... seeing as how the GM are Hybrids and cannot be reproduced ........?... the bees gather their nectar .......how will that hybradised "nectar" affect the bees?

How are the Bees in your country?

Usually at this time of the year, with all the wild flowers, especially here in Switzerland where they come up in the lawn grass, one has to wear sandals to not get stung by them. THIS year there are hardly any attending to the flowers.

And huge fruit trees covered in blossoms have only about 3 or 4 bees buzzing about ........

A friends Apricot tree, after shedding its blossoms, has about 10 fruit!...instead of hundreds!

RE: A hidden castrophe

Thank you Phoenix, I have watched this video, and will watch the others.

TERRIBLE.

The world is becoming worse. WHY?

Is it the greed?

Or is it something else that makes "humans" capable of this type of behavior Interesting. But nothing anyone can do will solve it .... methinks?

How are the Bees in your country?

Thanks Ray, "Nothing grown that we dont own" ...?...... am going to Google it.

I`m getting concerned for the future generations. Dunno why, just am. I really dont fancy having to come back here AGAIN .. and go thru the whole growing up process, might as well get going on what needs to be done while Im still here, albeit mighty aged and late in life for this goddamn nonsense!

Am beginning to pot and preserve and barter Indigenous fertile plants! Cranky huh? I think my mother is ghosting me!!!!! hahahaaaa .......

Do I really care? Nah, not really, just doing what I feel like doing, anyways ......

RE: I couldn't help but wonder

I have heard mention that they are trained by their mothers in how to please a man. And that they are happy to just have a husband who cares for them, and in return they care for their husband ..... without being demanding.

How are the Bees in your country?

I have noticed, being Springtime here, that there seems to be not many Bees around...? And the few I have seen, seem to be a bit "dazed" looking.......

I have heard talk that 80% of the bees have died...... and I also hear talk about them becoming confused cause they cannot find their way back to their hives .... due to the amount of mobile signals drifting around the planet.

Anyone else heard this type of talk? .... or seen the reduction in this essential Pollinating insect?

Oh...and......after becoming aware of this, I`ve also noticed that most plants bought from big plant nurseries seem to be Hybrids, which means they are sterile, and do not produce more of their kind.

Is all this some form of World Control..?.. to do, possibly, with the Genetically Modified seeds being produced?

RE: MEN AT 45

"As you think, so are you" is a very true saying.

When I was 30 (about 34 years ago)...my little sister said to me "Hey you old bag, it`s time to give up the tight jeans, and the bikini ....... you are now OLD".

Well, I have sort-of given up the bikini now, in public(in favour of a tummy hiding top thingy, only cause I feel sympathy for those having to look at me) ...... but the jeans stay the same!

I have a friend who is 53 and she looks and behaves no older than 35.

Yet, some women seem to just get old looking, in behaviour too.

Well ... as they say in the Classics ... it`s all in the genes (or jeans?)

A zest for life and a young outlook, without worrying about "Am I too old for this or that?" .... just DO it!

RE: Marriage

I`ve seen the longest and most successful marriages seem to be when the man takes care of the Outside of the house, and from the front door to the back door of the house is the women`s domain.

He is in charge of Outside, and she is in charge of the Inside.

Money side of things? ..... Whoever brings in the most money enjoys a bit of pampering .. and whoever brings in the least makes up for it in other ways..... keeping the house clean, doing the laundry, dusting, cooking, etc ......

RE: would you do everything?

Okay, here is grandma with her worldy advice ......

Everything is Okay ... as long as BOTH enjoy it.

And both are happy about what the other enjoys.

A narrow mindset and inability to experiment is what keeps the "ladies of the night" in business........ (oldest profession on earth)

Smoky`s Words that don`t rhyme and have no meaning...

That is NOT a made-up word Phoenix!

It means a thing you can`t remember the name of!

Similar to Watchamacallit.

RE: wot didya eat 2nite....

4 whiskies with soda, ..then..... . cottage pie ... and a good new book to read. And then some bread and butter pudding.

but I first have to get off this computer to eat my food!
and my hot water bottle is warming my bed so I can eat in real comfort! (Ja, I`m still single..hahaaa most of the time anyway - dunno how to escape the routine of being old)

RE: sleeping with a woman/man describe..........

Lovely thread. I have had profound thoughts on this subject. But will reserve them for later on.

What I love about all of you is ......... you skirt over the main issues. Afraid to voice your true feelings? HUH?

Well ... you are just like me.

Our true deep feelings are things we never seem to bring out into the open. But .. once they are out in the open, tis amazing how many others feel the same...?!


For instance. How many of you have had someone who actually strokes you, endearly, while you sleep .....? Women do this all the time, but men dont... for some reason ..... Been spoilt?

Interesting subject to explore in more depth .......

RE: Tooth aches......

Clove Oil ..... or just biting down on a Clove, works.

Tea Tree Oil works. And if you have an infection (like a budding abcess) then eating 10 leaves of Nasturtian will kill the infection (a natural antibiotic, and it really really works, I proved it - but you gotta eat at least TEN leaves every 2 hours! )... before going for the root canal work!

Or else .... brush your teeth with a mixture of sea-salt and Bicarbonate of Soda ....... that allows your body to heal your teeth .... as opposed to commercial toothpast that encourages rot and caries. (Running to hide from aspiring(or practicing dental hygienists who depend on rotten teeth for a living) dentists on this site!).....

RE: A woman's Worth......If only we could achieve this!!!

YOU WROTE THIS? WOW! FANTASTIC!
I don`t normally come into the Intl Forum, but found your thread in the opening pages and so glad I took a look. Thank you.

Yes. I have been blessed. Taken 60 years .. but seems I have found a person who brings about these qualities. All a matter of knowing what one wants, being grateful, and receiving.

What you have written has been my life-long feeling about the type of qualities I needed, and the type of person who is capable of appreciating those qualities in myself.

Well done girl! You are truly talented, and what someone else here said ... You really should look into being published! A talent like yours is not common.

RE: The Killing of Paradise Planet

Wow! Thanks for posting that Twinself ... I really really enjoyed watching it. Makes a lot of sense in this world of today huh? ...especially with the current situation!

RE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY.......... to Tomboygirl .........

Hokay ..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

"May the man of your dreams find you.

"May you recognise him when he finds you.

"May you appreciate him as he appreciates you.

"May you both live a long and happy life together ...

RE: WOW IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!

And tomorrow is Friday AGAIN!...and I got the `flu, or a very bad snotty cold with fever and laziness. Time for a hot whisky

RE: tsunami

.... ah ha ... yeah .. somehow I just knew there had to be a reason for all this.

And the reason ... I remember is ...... WHO is the nation that sends it`s ships out to go slice off the fins of thousands of living sharks (throwing their living bodies back into the ocean)....? And WHO is the nation that still hunts and slaughters hundreds of Minkie Whales....?

What goes around comes around.

RE: Lent Participation 2011, Go on now...you can do it...

Imma you are a STAR! Thanks for that. Yes, that is sort of what I gathered, from observing these crazy people!

On Saturday I was at their "Bed racing" ....... I saw "Nuns" swigging beers .... and Monks smoking ........ crazy people of all descriptions ... mostly all centred on looking "Evil and menacing and dirty" .....hahahaaaaa....

I did mention something of this and was told it is something to do with all the demons coming out of the ground in the forests, and being chased away ... so this is all an ancient re-enactment of ancient rites lost in the mists of time and perpetuated as a fun entertainment thing nowadays.

I am betting my last whisky that no-one there will be fasting!

The whole scenario has gotten more watered down here in Switzerland, only lasts a day in each village, with no fasting involved. Too much Protestant influence maybe?

Bet my 2nd last Whisky that Herr Conrad comes in here with some more elucidising comments.....

RE: libya

Amen.

Except of course ... when all the folk begin to wend their way to civilizations YOUR taxes are going to support them.......

My singing Chef .......

I dunno if I posted this link to Garry`s first performance on the Talent Show ...?

Well, if I did, then here another .... just to remind you all what a great guy he is .... making mistakes on the piano and everything!





Pity there`s no link (that I can find) of the last performance .. he sang "Unchained Melody"....
