You so trusting and believing in the betterment of mankind! No-one likes sharing their cars.... I tried that 20yrs ago, didnt work then, wont work now. Everyone is too busy, with time schedules, need their "unwind" time on the way to or from work, etc. Who wants to stop off at places not on their own personal agenda? And listen to yabbering of passengers. There is a country considering slow lanes for single occupants of cars... and only multiple occupants per car may use fast lanes. They are also considering Toll charges ... high per one person, reducing as occupants increase..... Only problem then is restricting the amount of people jammed into the vehicle. Its a 3rd world country.... where they also carry chickens in crates on their car-roofs, and cows in their utility vehicles..... but at least they trying to reduce global warming.
Once upon a time, long long ago, I used to go to school. And I vaguely remember something about there being 364 and ONE QUARTER DAYS in a year. So that every 4th year there is a leap year. And that day is 29th February, I think. So if you got born on that day, then you only had a birthday every fourth year. Something like that. And anyway, eventually, after 4 years of quarter days, you get a whole complete day! Thats why February usually only has 28 days....
What we need here is a school teacher to answer this mathematical problem for us all.
Also.... is anyone out there born on that 29th day of February? And you only have a birthday every fourth year? Write and tell us all what its like to go three whole years without a birthday gift?
Heres where I get philosophical.... The last part of your letter, Jan, about you dont believe opposites attract... ? They do attract.. like magnets are attracted to the opposite poles. And you know why? Because we are attracted to what is missing in ourselves! And here`s where we got to be very careful about relinquishing parts of ourselves in a relationship... like changing the way we dress, giving up certain behaviours, our likes and dislikes, etc to please that other person.... Because, you know why? When we eventually have nothing of ourselves left, we are now the "other person", the part they are, with nothing of our original self left.... they dont like seeing themselves reflected back at them... and then BANG!End of relationship. So, moral of my story is, never ever try and change another person. What attracted you to each other in the first place? The missing pieces of each other. So keep all your pieces together. End of lecture.
Okay Wedward... its time to remove that photo of a human being.. and post your REAL photo. I knew it! I just absolutely knew it! You are a St Bernhard dog... thats what they use in Austria right? With the whisky barrel around your neck and you go digging people out of avalanches and that sort of thing! They are also known as very intelligent dogs, just bet no-one thought they can also use a computer, huh? Good boy. Now go find Jan, and keep her warm... give her a sip of that whisky round your neck.
No, we already won the lotteries... we just interested in what you all out there would do if YOU win it! Thats why we dont have to go out to work anymore... we got all day to sit here on our yachts in the med playing on our computers, while we wait for the jet to be serviced, and our heli to bring in the fresh champagne...
We love you Ed... you are a ray of sunshine! Go back to the brewery please, and then when you full... come write some more....astounding pieces of literature
¨You think so? Leaving a trail of white footprints... leading right to your front door..... wait for it, they gonna find you.... and then you going to have to make a court appearance!
Oh yes, forgot to mention..... when you want to converse about nothing....? you just click the emoticons, and they say it all for you.... lekker hey?
Just remember... you actually only allowed THREE (3), but sometimes you can sneak more out their cave when no-one is looking. Dont know what will happen to you if you do that... but we all keep each other informed about these things, so dont worry too much about it, if you need more emoticons to express what you dont know you want to say.
What exactly is it you are wanting to know Wedward?
7 days in a week, 52 weeks in a year, 7x52 = 364 days 24 hours in a day. 168 hours in a week.
WHAT IS THE QUESTION? Thats all there is. Sorry theres no more days hiding away, and no more hours. Unless of course you know something we all dont know, and you just trying to alert us about something. That space-craft been bothering you again?
KEWL ... jewel... !! You dont even have to do the real thing.... just go buy the outfit, with "Kick-Box Champion" embroidered everywhere, in neon glow-in-the-dark stitching... stop every now and again, especially before entering dark alleys, and high-kick the street lamp, or an imaginary head on shoulders, whip-lash your arms around you, do a few spins with one leg at shoulder height, Kung-Fu style... shrug your shoulders, hitch your pants, pat your crotch, and then swagger down the dark alley. Also, do wear steel capped boots (the type workmen wear), so you can just scrape the yowling cats out your way, and kick over the dustbins on your way. And watch the muggers run!
How else we going to learn.... the easiest way (?) Plus sometimes we havent even thought about a question yet, and someone else asks it, and we say "Hey, yes, I wonder what sort of answer that will get?".... and so then we got the answers, and we dont even have to think about asking them... yet...till more questions on the topic surface....
No one is allowed to use my name in vain.... Wedward, I never asked Stratis his opinion of you, never, never, ever. I got my own opinion of you, sure, but I (unless I`m into sleepwalking now and log-on here thru sheer habit... in which case you cant blame me because it wasnt realy me, just the body going thru habitual motions while my brain was dreaming dreams of sublime bliss somewhere else).. I have no reason whatsoever to ask anyone else their opinion of you. And WHERE, Stratis, did I ask this? You into sleep-walking too maybe?
So are you all going to vote for me? But then again, maybe I wont volunteer for the job, cause I have found that anything to do with "committees" is a total waste of time... Have you ever known a committee to make a rational decision? Plus, if I had that job, I wouldnt have time to sit here writing replies to all these world shattering speculations you all bring up all the time. So, sorry, I know you all depend on my superior judgement in these matters on the site, so I will not leave you. I am the loyal sort. Let the idiots take care of world peace.
NO WAY JOSE! But if it comes looking for me.... kick-boxing works VERY WELL. How is Aerobics, Modern Dancing, Tap Dancing, etc. going to help when you confronted by a knife-wielding maniac in a dark alley? Okay, I know nice ladies my age shouldnt be walking down dark alleys, but sometimes it happens, by accident, and you only realise, too late, that you in a dark alley, tripping over dust-bins and yeowling cats, stumbling around in the dark trying to aim for the light at the end of the tunnel... and then this figure looms out of the gloom and says "give me your handbag".... THAT is when you glad you been practicing kicking heads off necks!
Take quality time for yourself, concentrate on yourself, groom yourself..... Then... when Opportunity meets Preparation, you will have Success.. or something like that anyway! Theres also something called th ABC of life, but it eludes me at the moment... its all so clichéd.
Take up a hobby. Write a book. Plus the first mentioned here. And if its meant to be, it will be. At least thats what I keep telling myself.... while I keep my eyeballs peeled. Also, why worry about it? Worry wont attract love, it wont attract anything! So.. just BE. It will come. At least you still a young and pretty girl, believe me... the pheremones you broadcasting will have males within a 20km radius on your scent soon... Just dont worry about it.
