Thank you Wooffy. In South Africa, as you may know, there are 11 official languages! I speak English. Although I learnt Afrikaans in school and used it in my younger life, I lost a lot of it living in KwaZulu Natal where its not spoken, Zulu being the 2nd language there. I speak what is called "kitchen Afrikaans"... the simple version.... almost a dialect. Now, learning German, which is similar to Afrikaans, I still have difficulty with the pronounciation of certain vowels and consonants.... they differ vastly from Afrikaans! And the "european" cold country languages here, they speak with an almost clenched jaw! In Africa we speak with wide open mouths!
Ooooh yes! Arabic music will be nice. A good change from the head-baning stuff.
For more atmosphere, I've brought in some red tasselled shades to cover the lights, and a few pewter wall sconces with flames. And some realy LARGE floor cushions for chilling out on.... found them at the dump in Abu Dhabi...... HD is using the purple one so dont sit on it if he is on it... he gets grumpy about sharing his bed.
I think today I will have an Irish Coffee, to warm me up... the weather is rather chillo outside, Siberian wind blowing....!
I have a tatoo on my arm ... 2 feathers with some beadwork and claws. My grandkids love it... and they cant quite understand why it doesnt wash off... like theirs do!
Snow White..... her name says it all! Plus she needed something to pep her up, looking after the 7... all that work. HAPPY.... He was into Grass,
Hash SLEEPY....Into Reds GRUMPY ...Too much Speed SNEEZY .. Cocain Freek DOPEY .. Into Everything DOC ... Their Connection BASHFUL ...He did'nt need to do drugs, he was naturally Paranoid.
Some other Druggies were... Old King Cole, calling for his Pipe and Bowl.
Hansel and Gretel..Found the Ginger Bread House about 45 mins after finding the MAGIC MUSHROOMS.
Little Jack Horner... Sat in his Corner, eating his Christmas Pie, Stuck in his thumb, and said "Oh, hell, am I High".
----------------------Okay, dont anyone shoot me for that!!!
I dont deal with the gnomes of Zurich... they dont pay any interest on ones money! No, this was in that country where they pay you to let them play with your money..... another form of banking.
I like the little devil he always tacks onto the end of his OVERUSAGE of emoticons! 12 this time!
HEY WEDY! You using up all the emoticons, and just now there wont be any left for the rest of the Forum! You have had your ration for this week. You can only start using them again next Monday. Now you have to WRITE your emotions!
Hi Freeze, No its not what you think. I been reading a very good book on the subject, and wanted to share the questions with you all.... I just thought it all quite thought provoking?
Like everything in Life has a Balance. So to balance, say Love, what do you put on the other side of the scale, the opposite emotion. And the opposite emotion here is "Indifference". Just imagine what its like to have no emotion shown?... like you dont exist to your partner?... they dont care what you feeling?
Strange emotion hey? Once upon a time, for a good reason, I felt hate, but tried to deny it. Then one day it boiled out, and I admitted it to myself.... and then the hate went away. So maybe the cure for that feeling Spidermoose mentioned is to not try and act like its not there... admit, face it, and its cured? I realy felt better after admitting it to myself.
Okay... I've left Wedy alone for a whole day, and no one has said anything.... So I will...
I think he is just SO Cute! Seriously though... you all got to admit he is a nice guy, very serious, very decent. Sometimes he has a sense of humour. And sometimes he acts very Strict, especially when it comes to cs members without photos! He has a strange way of writing, yet I believe we can all understand him?
Hi Stratis, Big welcome back, we missed you. Have you been to Cyba's Pub yet? Very friendly place. Be careful of the virtual HoundDog that he doesnt bury you in the snow outside!
.... and again... at the risk of being boring... the best advice I had on this one is..... "To keep your head above the rising cost of living... you gotta keep cutting down on your cost of living". Which means do not try and live up to other peoples standards... keep setting your own, and keep them low, dont get proud.
That advice came from a major financial house of investments.
RE: its quiz time
Okay, the next BIG question... is.....(you wanna go and leave this up to ME!)
How tall is the Statue of Liberty? and in what year was it erected?
