RE: im the new guy

Hello Swisscheese... greetings from Switzerland!!!! Welcome, nice to see you here.

RE: What annoys you most about the forum threads?

Yes, thats it!!! At first I thought Bank Manager.... now I got a suspicion SpiderMoose is an apprentice to the Gnomes in Zurich?

RE: keeping fit

OH NO! Sorry everyone..... I have gone and given Wedy some new ideas! No, no, Wedy, we want to lie in the sunshine, getting tanned and bloated on Traditional Austrian Fare!

RE: Welcome to Cyba's bar...........ALL WELCOME.......

Thank you Spidermoose...(like your new photo.... but now you look like a Bank Manager! instead of that Cool Guy of the Wild West!).

Well, now the celebrations are over, and life gets back to normal.

No time for drinking today!

RE: living together /marriage ????

I think the "marriage proposal" is what is considered the "ultimate" highest point? But its no guarantee of what comes in the future!
Perhaps a nicely worded document, ensuring peace of mind, would suffice? After all, isnt it the peace of mind that matters? Which brings us back to that word "Trust"? Without the marriage.... is there trust? Without the piece of paper... is there trust? Seems people cant be trusted anymore anyway. Its a nice concept, hypothetically, to just trust ones partner..... but at the end of the day, I have yet to see the amicable dossolution of a partnership without the greed and grabbing and hate talk.

RE: Most horrible Xmas presents

I got a Mini Hi-Fi .. with CD, tape-deck, & radio. Just exactly what I have been starving myself of!!! Oh, and its got an alarm and snooze function... so now I can wake up to Native American Sun Dance music... instead of the irritating mobile phone alarm.

Thats my reward for being such a good granny, cook, laundress, and house-maid, and gardener. And I could possibly still fit it into my back-pack, if neccessary..... will just have to leave the extra pair of snow boots behind.

Sorry, the back-pack thing is a built-in survival mechanism from my youth... when we tried to not put down too many roots.

RE: why some people cant talk about them selfs

Hi there, yes, and maybe if we all talk about ourselves, they will get the courage to open up and talk more too?

RE: Fatal Attraction...

Being physically abused is not acceptable. I have found that the best cure for that is... a nice heavy lead pipe... works wonders against abusers. Only joking... I didnt think about that at the time, in time.

I did consider wild mushrooms... but then I could not bare to see someone in pain, plus I have an allergy to hemp rope around my neck... So had to settle for the old jewish lawyer.

RE: If this Christmas you could only have......

Oh so cute !! Not "COMPLETE".. just complete for now....

RE: Welcome to Cyba's bar...........ALL WELCOME.......

Oh puleeeese cybahippy, pulllleeese.. can we have proper toilet paper in the loos? First off there was all that old christmas wrapping paper, and now theres all that recycled old brown wrapping paper!!!! Not a good image, old chap! And all those people from the Homeless Shelter! I know you doing your thing for Humanity, but this is carrying things a bit too far, dont you think? Hand-rolled recycled toilet paper..... in a millionairs playground pub?!

RE: invitation to dinner

Cybahippy! Surely that pile of re-cycled brown wrapping paper is not called "Toilet Paper"?! And I see you even got some unemployed people from the Homeless Shelter wrapping it round old toilet roll inners! SO.. THAT was why you asked for donations of those inners! and here I was thinking it was to make your own Chrismas Crackers with!
If you gonna have an up-market Bar and millionaires playground... dont you think you could stretch the budget to some nice pretty pastel pink 4ply PROPER toilet paper?

RE: so now for food and drink

Thank you kind man...... careful! I may just take you up on that offer.... and then you cannot complain.... if I arrive on your doorstep, in my hiking boots, kit-bag, and old flying jacket.... tired, hungry and thirsty from trekking over the glaciers to Austria!

Actually, at the moment, I would have to go sneaking thru the forests and other places to evade Border Guards, cause I even without a Passport!!!!! I had to hand it in to the Germans for them to stick another Schengen Visa in it..... I am stuck in CH till the 8th January, passportless.

GNOMES

Oh Wedy, The ph's are in their banks, the cowbells are on the cows, jf is finished for now, and the broomstick is parked.

RE: Promise me all to not laugh...PLEASE!!

6ft 5in tall? Thats a man for sure. But how did he get himself listed as female?

Couldnt be a Transvestite.....they the only non complete males I heard about... so definitely is a man. Probably a little bit illiterate? Probably from Darkest Parts of Africa?

RE: desert island

Everyone thinks they want to go live on an island and do the primitive survival thing..... but look how enthusiastic they are? They choose the oddest things to take with them!

I would like to hear what Solitair would take... he is usually very knowledgable about all things?
And Homer too?

RE: so now for food and drink

This is after the event.... but I had Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve... at the relatives of a friend.... simple but extremely tasty! The creamiest cheesiest potatoe bake, green peas, roast lamb, and fresh salad. Pudding was a baked fruit crumble with ice cream/fresh cream.

Wedy, your Christmas lunch sounded devine... wish I could have partaken of THAT too.

I was actually just so blessed this Season.... with not having to do any cooking!!!! Wonderful.

RE: keeping fit

Everyone who intends going to Austria in 2007 better start their training programme now! I believe Wedy is having a CS Mini Olympics that he is setting up? and he thinks he is going to catch us all out by us being un-fit!

I would suggest you all start kicking lamp-posts on your way to work. And wait till the bus/tram has passed your stop, and then run to the next stop to get on.... works wonders as Cardiovascular excercise. At lunchtimes, skip lunch, and do 500 sit-ups. At night eat your supper only after running around your village a couple times. If you live in the city, calculate the average size of a village and do the same. Substitute water for beer.

And if you can arrange long leave during July, you could walk to Austria, and use the money you save to get realy drunk while there.

RE: invitation to dinner

I cant choose only 3... there are too many nice people here. It would have to be a dinner for at least 12!

The menu? I dont like to waste time with too much cooking.... so we would have sliced cold meats, lots of divine salads, and lots and lots of juicy fruits, assortment of cheeses, spiked fruit juice cocktails, wine for the wine drinkers.

GNOMES

Ye Gads... I'm going thru all these old threads, and here I see where Wedy went crazy the day before Christmas! I was wondering where he got the idea I was going riding my broomstick? with the Gnomes.

No, the Gnomes are in the Zurich banks looking after the Worlds money. I leave them there most of the time, and they are very efficient at what they do, you got to admit. Its just me that goes jolling around on the old broomstick.

RE: SHOPPING !

OKAY EVERYONE...... ITS NOW TIME TO DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING FOR NEXT CHRISTMAS...... Remember what Spidermoose said.... Now the sales start!

RE: speed

When I saw this thread posted by Wedy titled "Speed", my first thought was "oh oh, drugs!" ... but it was just about the speed.

Time has speeded up. The weekly laundry day arrives too soon. The food in the house gets eaten at a frightening rate.

Then again.... the seeds I sow take Forever to come up! Children take forever to take a bath!

One thing that is certain... Time does not stand still. Just the other day I was 19.... and now in the flash of life I will be 60 next birthday!!! WOW.

RE: If this Christmas you could only have......

Yeah! I also got what I NEEDED! A Hi-Fi, and then along came a brand new friend who gave me a whole pile of CD's of my favourite type of music.... Native American music! So at the moment my life is complete.... !

RE: does the internet dating really work?

Well, I have met people I would never otherwise have met, not yet in person, but virtually. Actually I would be very lonely if it wasnt for this dating site..... I feel its more a friendship site? Something other to do than read or do hobby work. The next best thing to ACTUALLY meeting.

RE: What annoys you most about the forum threads?

SPIDERMOOSE, what happened to your photo?

And Freeze, I know this is an ancient thread, but was reading it out of boredom with the other threads..... and you saying something about what happened to Wedy "this morning"? Wedy loves to argue, cause he has very definite points of view, so never feel sorry for him. Rather feel sorry for me.

About people without photos..... maybe they dont have a photo of themself? or dont know how to download it? So I think we shouldnt carry on too much against them... just take them as they are. Its their loss.

RE: SANTA....................

Yes Jerry, I did that once,on my grandsons birthday! On the advice of a good friend of mine...... I went to one of those gimmicky packed to the ceiling with cheap-junk type of shops, and bought a whole assortment of the noisiest things I could find, and things that swelled up in water..... and WOW! did that kid have fun! He much preferred the noisy things to the big expensive gifts! Even tho the drum-skin didnt last the day, he gave it all he had with the mighty strength of his little arms!!!! and when the skin broke, he still had all the other noisy things. Its a brilliant idea for under 4's.

RE: Fatal Attraction...

Its sad is'nt it? I have got "caught" so many times, because I believe a person is who they say they are.... that I am now rather cynical and un-trusting until the person proves beyond a doubt that they are sincere.... and still I will be on my guard.
Now I have found the best attitude to take is to seek only a friend, without giving too much of myself into the relationship, so that should it turn sour, my heart wont be broken, just the budding faith in humanity.

RE: Your last day on this earth

I would pack a flask of clean cold water, some nice unhealthy snacks,take my cigarettes, maybe a joint or two,and go sit next to a nice clean river (like the Rhine), and sit and watch the water, the birds, listen to the sounds of nature, stare at the sky, and wait in anticipation.

If its a joint thing, where we ALL going to have our last day, then to have my whole family together, frolicking around, my sons playing their guitars and singing, The grandkids playing in the mud.

RE: Saddam Hussein is sentenced to death!

There are rules for war... and there are rules for civilians. Then I wonder why we see photographs of children and women casualities? There is no honour left anymore in the world.

RE: very important

SPIDERMOOSE...you very cute! I read about you driving thru your areas, where Grizzlies live, without even a firearm! Are you crazy?
I would like to know your birthdate.... then I can tell you what your Native American Totem is? I think you could be called Crazy Moose?... or Stoned Spider? LOL... !!! Have a great new year, kiddo!

RE: living together /marriage ????

I would like some learned person.... MORE learned than me! to show me WHERE in the Bible there is any mention of "legal marriage"?
So, not finding an explicit instruction from God, I rather gather that that little piece of binding signed paper is just another money making ritual... it is no safeguard of feelings, behaviour, faithfullness, or, in the event of a dissolution of the marriage, any guarantee of fair distribution of goods jointly acquired during the marriage. So, as I have stated elsewhere, I firmly believe in a "partnership" agreement, just like going into a business together.
