RE: Bi-Religious

Look again! He started the sentence "why on earth......."

Now get of my case! You do this all the time. Doesn't matter who I am having a conversation with, you but in. Leave me alone!

(Last time you did it was my converstaion with Boban, in case you are going to refute that too).

When I address YOU, I'll let you know!



PS: You are not doing your reputation on here any good by going after me.

RE: Bi-Religious

Wasn't thinking about you trying to attract people. Was thinking that you have such gorgeous looks, it would be a shame to hide them, is all. No motive, just made me sad to see you hiding in an old pic. You will be old soon enough, no point hurrying it.

You asked!

RE: Bi-Religious

ok! I tried.

RE: Bi-Religious

Hi RDM. As a friend, I'd like to ask you please change that pic. It ages you about 20 years and doesn't do your good looks, and wonderful personality, justice at all.

RE: Bi-Religious

If you rigourously practiced the tenets of all religions, you could belong to all of them, certainly. It would be a full time career though, as you wouldn't have time to do anything else.

RE: thinking about writing to an advice columnist--what do you think?

I would have advised him to tell them, that it was none of their bloody business whether he worked or not, and to go get themselves a life.

If anyone had asked me that, I'd have sent them packing, with a flea in their ear.

RE: Would you relocate for love?

I don't fall into any of these categories you mentioned................


You May Qualify for Naturalization if:

* You have been a permanent resident for at least 5 years and meet all other eligibility requirements. See the “General Path to Naturalization” link under “Citizenship by Naturalization” to the left.
* You have been a permanent resident for 3 years or more and meet all eligibility requirements to file as a spouse of a U.S. citizen. See the “Spouses of U.S. Citizens” link under “Citizenship by Naturalization” to the left.
* You have qualifying service in the U.S. armed forces and meet all other eligibility requirements. See the “Information for Members of the Military and Their Families” link to the right.
* Your child may qualify for naturalization if you are a U.S. citizen, the child was born outside the U.S., the child is currently residing outside the U.S., and all other eligibility requirements are met.

RE: Would you relocate for love?

I was going to relocate there a few years back, and I read the fine print. The conditions prohibited me from going there.

Take a look at the categories and the waiting times here, as much as 10 years to get approval in some cases......We don't all have family there or PHDs.....

RE: Is It Reallly True What We Don't Know Don't Hurt US?

It's not true.

If, for instance people are saying things about someone, and everyone shuns them, then they can be deeply hurt without knowing why.

All they will know is that people want to avoid them, or hurt them physically, because of something they don't know that someone is saying about them.

Ignorance is not bliss, and what you don't know can hurt you.

RE: Would you relocate for love?

Have any of your 50+ people thought about how you'd get to stay in another country?

For instance if I wanted to go to Australia or America, I wouldn't be able to relocate there. They don't accept permanent residents who are 50+, (unless, of course I had a million to deposit in America, in which case, provided I never touched it, I'd get to stay).

American people coming to Ireland don't get residency either, except in exceptional circumstances, (like a univeristy really needing them, or doing a job an Irish person couldn't do), unless their parents were born here, in which case they have dual nationality.

Immigration laws for certain countries would leave some people not allowed to relocate, no matter how much in love they were.

I am having great difficulty getting my daughter in law to be, in here for a visit, because she is Ukranian, (and it is not an EU affiliated country). We have been trying for nearly a year to get her a visa and so far no-go. She is only 25 and is the mother of my grandson.

All well and fine saying you'd relocate, but it may not be possible..........

RE: Soulmates and the SOUL

Think I am too.

RE: Soulmates and the SOUL

I didn't know the Kabbalah and I agreed.

RE: Soulmates and the SOUL

Soul.....That which connects us on a higher conciousness level to all others. Something encompassing vibrations on all frequencies of light and sound, and probably some more things that we do not yet understand.

There is a theory that we all yearn to be part of the whole entity/substance that we came from.

I see it a bit like a mirror that shatters on rough ground.

Billions of little shiny pieces, reflecting a myriad scenes in all directions. Each one only refelects from one angle, yet all belong to the entirety.

Some get dirty or dusty or tarnished, and so don't reflect very well, while others reflect too brightly, blinding anyone who looks, while even more reflect clearly, but still not fromt he same angles.

All of them, however, have their oneness in common, and in that oneness are capable of much more than when they are fragmented.

Hence the search for those who make us feel better when we are with them, than we do alone.

RE: Time Travel ?

I had to check it twice myself to make sure it wasn't her/his coat collar.

RE: Time Travel ?

Doesn't explain the person talking though, in what appears to be a silent movie. Just a thought.

Except that if they are indeed hard of hearing then maybe someone is shouting directions and he/she is answering them, knowing that the movie will be silent.........

Might be giving an insight on how much noise there actually was on the set of a silent movie.

RE: Time Travel ?

Thanks for sharing.

RE: Time Travel ?

Lots of things not fitting right about this. The chief one among them is that if this is indeed a mobile phone, then she/he couldn't have used it anyway, because there were not communication sattelites in 1928 for starters.

There was no microwave technology back then, not even for military use, either.

And unless there were two such people, with technology way beyond what we have now, (able to communicate with a mobile device without the technology we have now to use it, in a time where it wouldn't have been suppported), then who would he/she be talking with anyway?

The technology just isn't there to have sent the signals that would operate a mobile device in 1928.

Way beyond our future, mobile phones would not look like this, because already technology is making everything smaller, and more integrated, so it is unlikely he/she came from our future to go back there. (Remember what mobile phones looked like 20+ years ago).

Either the film is a fake, or it has been tampered with, (neither of which are impossibilities), are the only logical conclusions I can draw from this.

RE: Truth Or Dare

Nope. Never cheated.

Thanks SM. Although the name of the woman isn't given, it is the same case..... Pam Reynolds

RE: Do you believe in an afterlife?

Same with the washing powder my grandmother used.

RE: Do you believe in an afterlife?

How did I know you'd ask that? I have given it so many times on here that it is possibly in every similar thread that there is going back 3 years or more. I don't have it to hand, or in favs, so it may take me some time to look it up again.

Patience Mr Sceptic.

RE: Maxims for life.

If at first you don't succeed........cheat!

RE: Do you believe in an afterlife?

Anyone who spends time around the terminally ill and dying, knows there is an afterlife. I worked for years in old people's homes and have seen too much to discount it.

It has been proven scientifically that the conciousness lives outside the body for many hours, so it would follow that when the body is no longer needed, that the conciousness moves on.

In old Catholic belief, it was a given that the conciousness left the vicinity of the body 3 hours after death, but the spirit wasn't completely free until the third day, hence the 3 day wake in this country, that is still a custom to this day.

The presence of the recently dead is often known, to those who were close to them, often in the form of the scent of lilies, or roses, or other flowers. It is a very strong overpowering scent that stops you in your tracks, whatever you are doing, and you immediately think of them. A form of goodbye maybe, to say all is well. I have experienced this myself often.

The last time it happened was 3 days after my mother died. I was driving through the town and the car filled up with the smell of flowers, so much so, that it was overpowering, and I thought to open the windows to see if someone had something outside.

I don't even have an air freshener in the car, never had, so it wasn't something originating there. Nor was there eanything outside. Once I acknowledged her presence, it went, as suddenly as it came.

It happened again a few days later, roses this time, (her name was Rose), and I got the distinct impression I should tell my father. I did, and it never happened again. I think maybe she wasnted him to know she was ok, and he wasn't sensitive enough to feel the signs.

I could cite endless instances similar to that one. Suffice it to say, I know that those no longer inhabiting a body can still communicate.

RE: Are you attracted to one perchicular race

Must be your magnetism then.

RE: If I told you I was a Shaman would it make any difference?

Curious about your background now. You have Celtic, Austrian, German colouring and features. Were your ancestors any of these? I don't like that you call me that. There is nothing honourable about me.

RE: Are you attracted to one perchicular race

People of all ethnicities/race, are born and live in Ireland. Can't be colour then, and you say it is not accent, so what is the attraction?

RE: If I told you I was a Shaman would it make any difference?

If you said you were fron Ireland then we'd be having a different conversation and a different branch of my curiousity would be aroused........We'd still be having a conversation though.

RE: If I told you I was a Shaman would it make any difference?

That might suggest that although you ask questions, you really don't care what the answers are.......

Logically there's be no point in asking the questions then.
