Advice needed .. wedding photos...

The problem Tule, is it is not my friends home. They live seperate, but she spends her time there.

A photo of me and my boyfriend would have no reason to hang in his dining room ..... hahahaaaa .... We planning on how to get rid of HIS old wedding photo ... without actually hurting his feelings!

So far ... I think telling her to

a) Turn it backwards while she is there ... or
b) Drop it and break the glass..... or
c) Re-design her face


..... are good ideas? Will wait and see if anyone else has any brilliant ideas.

Thanks thus far.

Advice needed .. wedding photos...

Ja, well, yesterday she bought a picture frame ... one of those with about 5 places for small photos, and has printed out pics from their holiday to put in and stand on the sideboard! But she still does not like that wedding photo.

Maybe we go with Charlies advice, if we can manage to swing it.

I love defacing photos. I know that ex ... and horns and moustache would suit her perfectly! What I love about Charlies idea is that no-one would notice ...... till they looked up close! It`s on the wall next to the curtains, and not very large .... just slightly bigger than postcard size...........and the ex has a habit of inviting herself around now and then ... her idea of "acting normal", but actually intimidating....... I wanna hear the howls thru the village when she spots her moustache and horns!!!!!

Now .. I like that advice!

I think, this weekend, I get myself invited over ...... and tell her to get him out of the house for a while ... like a bbq and he cooks the meat ........ and I do some artistic work on it in the bathroom (just in case I get busted by him while removing the glass or putting it back!)

Hahahaaa .... I REALLY love that!

You`re not gonna believe this ...! But THAT was my second piece of advice - before I removed the knife from her hands with which she was gonna slit her wrists ..... nah just joking. My advice lacked something.

But maybe it was good advice....?

Now I go to reply to these other brilliant minds who have applied themselves to this problem.

RE: A feel good story thing....

That is absolutely fabulous!!!!

Thanks for posting that Phoenix.

Alive, unfortunately.

What if she was dead?

I once had a boyfriend who had an ex-wife...... who had since died, after the divorce .. and he had her photo (huge one) framed and hanging on the wall ........ Well, I was living in same house ... so I asked him if it was okay if I hung a photo of MY ex too? ....... ..... the ex`s photo was soon removed and given to his daughter.

But this girl is not living in his house, although they are a couple.

HA! THAT was my first advice to her .... ! She thought that would be too rude!

Oh so ... I thought I was being dumb, but actually it was quite a brilliant idea of mine, seeing as how you just seconded it!

RE: hai

.. Welcome to the EU Forums Sasi.

You will get LOTS of advice here, but you also need to get active, right where you are.

Go out and have a coffee at a restaurant, or go do your laundry ... and say "Hello" to everybody .... be friendly and chatty ... doesnt matter if you dont speak the language ..... These people here in Europe like to speak to people if you are friendly and look like you are trying to make friends.

Here in Switzerland it took me a long time to find that it is considered rude to go sit at a table by oneself in a restaurant! You gotta go sit at a table with other people .... and then that is how you begin to learn the language.

Good luck.

Haaa! Nein, tis not what you were thinking!

My best friend here has a problem.... and asked me for advice .... And although I usually know everything there is to know about everything .... this one has got me stumped!

Her boyfriend still has an old wedding photo of him and his ex hanging on the wall in his dining room.

Now it is beginning to annoy her, but she is not sure how to go about getting him to remove it, happily and peacefully ......

His children are grown up, and he has remarked that it is nice for the children to see... when they visit.........

My personal opinion on this is for her to tell him to offer it to his children...?

What would you guys and girls advise as good advice?

My profile ... duh?

Got to hedge my bets in life ya know?!.....

And can you believe it! I got ANOTHER one! Today when I logged in, found another scummer. Yes a Scummer! Most definitely ... he gave me his private email adress AND his phone number....!

Funny though .. I always reply and say .. Dear whoever .... And what exactly about my profile intersted you? ..S

And then I never hear from them again. Easy huh?

My profile ... duh?

Dang .... another one .. hahahaaaa

But this time he says he really loves everything I wrote in my profile, and now that he has made the first move ...... and he`s only 49 ... not the stipulated 99!

My profile ... duh?

Hi Handsome ... Yea, what goes around comes around hey?!

I did all that editing ... but now it sort-of looks even worse ..... everything in "what I am looking for" comes out as "Any".....!!!! Except the age group is 99...hahaha Cause you cant delete or hide some of the things.

RE: Stopping smoking........

Yes, admit you are weak willed. And then go buy some air-dried tobacco ... sold in big cardboard "cans" ... half the price of bought cigarettes .. and some hemp rolling papers ... and roll your own!

Actually .... I met my own good man ... cause he ALSO rolls his own! .. and he taught me about the hemp papers .. normal el-cheapo papers are chemical saturated so they keep burning, so they are not cheap, just a con, and unhealthy.

Hahaha .. yes, you can smoke in a more healthy way. You just wont look very elegant! And you gotta find a place to sit down so you can concentrate on rolling your smoke. And then you gotta smoke it, cause if you pause too long it goes out.......

Happy Healthy Smoking....

My profile ... duh?

Ooops, Oh so .... I got to delete all that stuff too...? Okay, Vorwarts to "Edit profile" ... again! I gonna be one big blank space .... hahahaaaaa Like what`s between my ears!

RE: Vegetarianism-yes or no?

Yes. We are supposed to eat air. Advanced Yogis live off air, and one peanut a day.

Why oh why dont we all? Think about all the happy plants there would be, they would no longer have to cringe in fear as we approach!

My profile ... duh?

Danke Schön, Herr Phoenix!

I will do nothing at the moment ..... wanna see if he comes back .... .. and then plan something REALLY REALLY evil for him.......

RE: Finding a mature partner in a foreign land??

Nah. I know.

He was in Spain for a short holiday break ... maybe with a bunch of guys he plays golf with ... or his Bingo Club ..... sitting in hotel room with free internet connection ... and his buddies pc ... and so he logged on and typed in "Free Date Sites Europe" and up came CS ... and so he decided to see how easy it would be to find a replacement for the Old Girl at home .........

Ahhhhhhh .... nahhh.... too much hard work ... slow pickings ..... end of holiday... back home to the Old Girl..... ..and mowing the lawn, dog walking, rocking chair ........

My profile ... duh?

Okay, sorry about this. As you all are aware, I do not crave limelight and adoration ... but .... I keep getting these emails from guys saying "Your profile really interests me ........" ..and .."I am looking for a long term partner...." ....

Now .. please .. go and read my profile! Does it sound like I am encouraging emails from lonely guys? .. or enticing Long Term partner plans ..?....

I wrote back to this particular old goofy, with his posed photo with hound-dog to ask "And what about my profile interests you?"

And if he replies ... I am going to post it here for you all to read. Cause if this guy, with his no spelling mistakes, and normal english usage .... is .. nah .. it just means them scummers are getting more literate, huh?

RE: Finding a mature partner in a foreign land??

"Young whipper snappers" ...... I havent heard that expression in years .... ever since my Dad fell off the back of the cart! My sons still laugh about that expression ...... and call their kids Whipper-snappers!

Okay,, so .... just HOW old ARE you Phoenix? hahahahahaaaaa or is that an Irish thang?

RE: holidaying alone

Ahh .. I know the feeling Mariola! Somehow, just having another person with you makes things not so .....what?.... well, easier, somehow.

The actual travelling is okay, but I also think that having another person to share agonies of things like getting on the wrong transport, ordering the wrong things, or the right things (I once ordered something in India and it turned out to be cornflakes ... was dinnertime!)hahahaaaaaa

I hate having to look all sophisticated and like I know what I`m doing when I actually have NO clue ....

The first time I ever travelled, I was SO afraid of not finding my way at the interchange airport ... and then discovered that, finding my own way by common sense, at 2 in the morning in deserted airport .... I had the entire plane load of people following ME! ahaahahaaaa

RE: Vegetarianism-yes or no?

Wulfen .... oooohhhh.... Wuuullllffennnn ...yodel-ley-lee-hoooo...... I am waiting for your comments ........

Kitchen Items word game .. hahahahaaaa.....

...or ...... a .... MARTINI?

RE: lets help eachother, love uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu my all

Jahjah .. waiting for her Jahjah ahahahaaaaaaa ....

Now ... the question is ..... WHO is Jahjah?

RE: Vegetarianism-yes or no?

Yes, my lifestyle does seem to confuse some people ... hahaha....

I smoke .... but... I roll my own disgusting joint-like looking cigarettes ... using chlorine free papers, and air-dried tobacco that contains no additives.

And because I smoke (am addicted) ... I excercise. Without excercise I would be a stooped hacking coughing old crone!

Like eating, if one`s input exceeds the output one gets fat. Putting smoke in my lungs means I gotta do massive air inhaling/exhaling excercises ... fast walking/running/cycling/climbing..... getting the heart/lungs pumping..... regularly .... despite weather conditions.

When I used to run mini-marathons, after recovering for a few moments, the first thing I`d do was roll a smoke and lie on the ground smoking...... to the horror of bystanders ...hahahaaa

In my group of friends were Tri-Athletes, who all smoked, and were athletes BECAUSE they smoked. They were health conscious, but also addicts........ and did something about it.

People who sit a lot, lead sedentary life-styles, and smoke sugar dried chemically flavoured and doctored elegant cigarettes ...... are just asking for problems, imo.

My smokes, they are irritating things ..... and more difficult than just taking out a packet and lighting up. And they go out easily. And they are NOT elegant. BUT .... and this is the nicer part ... they don`t stink like ready-mades!

Guaranteed, from experience ... IF I smoke only ONE of those ready made things ....... I can feel the difference - lungs burning, nasty after taste, and diminished lung capacity in running (the next day)!

Unfortunately, some people look at me and think they too can smoke, but they cannot keep up the excercise regime ... or have the patience to make their own smokes!

RE: lets help eachother, love uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu my all

Thank you Venere .. YES ..... you gotta be very careful what you wish for.

I once wished for a log cabin type house, in a forest ... thinking I was sick and tired of white painted walls and suburbia.....hahahaa....

So, I got what I wished for ..... a log cabin. It sat on stilts above wet black mud ...... And it was surrounded by trees .. so it never got any sunshine!

And then bees moved into the space between the logs .... and the water tank fell over so I had to go fetch water ....and bath in brown river water... and cows came and ate all the plants ... and visitors would cross the lawn and sink up to their knees in slimy mud underneath the grass .....

So then I wished myself back into suburbia and white walls .....Oh thank goodness that wishes DO come true! hahahaa

RE: lets help eachother, love uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu my all

No no Jahjah .. you are getting it wrong.

I am not a sweet Smoky. I am evil Smoky.

That is why I had to be married 3 times, and wait till I was 63 years old to find a good man....at least I think he is a good man .... time will tell the truth of that!

So you see .... opposites attract .... evil me/good man.

I think my husbands were good men ... and I ruined them .. so they became evil and I became good. But then I discovered that it is better for me to be evil, it is much more fun... and better to find a good man and not ruin him, than to be good and find an evil man and try and make him good cause men should never be changed, they are not made for change, only us women are.

And now I think I am confusing myself....?

RE: kid

Well, of course I only got half the story...... if you only told half the story.

You only got half the answer.

Now ... tell the other half.....

RE: Ladies...advice needed......

YOU dont make anything out of it ... you are just Sold! The money goes to CS.

Now, go pack your bags. You have a journey to make.

RE: holidaying alone

. Okay, .... just keeping an eye on you, thats all......... Time you found a nice girl and settled down ... and had some kids .....

RE: lets help eachother, love uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu my all

Hi Jahjah .....

Good idea you got.

First of all ... you gotta KNOW what destiny you are wanting......

And you got to be careful of wrongly wording it. You cannot think or say to yourself "I want a man, and I want kids" ... cause you just may get exactly that! ......

You may get a man .. big and hairy or short and bald or short and hairy, or big and bald ......with a temper...... and a mother .. and lots of baby goats! .. and get to live in a cave in Iraq or somewhere else where they got caves......!

Nein! First you got to be absolutely clear WHAT it is you are wanting! And then remember ... you must not WANT it! You must imagine you ALREADY have it! ......

... and then .. you go find a forest with some really big and old trees, and tell the trees what it is you are wanting, and then say "Thank You" to them for what you are expecting and know is waiting for you.

And then ... the next man you meet, you give him your phone number .... or get his phone number ...... and hey presto .... maybe you found him!

Easy hey? ... when you know the secrets of Life!
