common cousin to the most personable and esteemed Celia-Jones Higginbotham perhaps ?

RE: Dream and what do they mean.

Well, I am not big on astral plane belief - despite loving Terry Pratchett but I do agree that is very much an indicator of stress, and perhaps your body theory might make some sense - I was a steroid dependent asthmatic smoker with a lot of unresolved issues and now, I am a medicaction free, non smoking, asthmatic much more at peace with herself. But who knows which bit of the equation triggered or ceased the dreams?

RE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADYLUMPS!!!!

RE: How many girls would pose for page 3

thought was just me

RE: Dream and what do they mean.

thanks for the link - I have had this a lot - it started at 15 when my father died and then there was another situation that seriously exacerbated it - for several years I used to wait until I was literally exhausted before I would sleep, in the hope I could banish the dreams.
It can be very disturbing - I used to think I had awoke and switched on the light to end the "nightmare" only to find myself stuck inside it ... the panic was indescribable. As I got older it only happened occasionally and I could in some way intervene on my dreams myself, in that I became aware I was still dreaming and just had to let it culminate. Stress is obviously the trigger - but sometimes even now I wouldn't see it coming.
Now they are occasional reminders and I think are very indicative of my state of mind.

RE: well this place is gettin way too boring

Really? We can't tell from this distance

RE: well this place is gettin way too boring

classic example of a woman saying one thing and a man hearing whatever he likes

RE: meeting

~Had a couple of totally bizarre encounters - one was totally nightmare territory and the fact that I had gone half way across the country didn't help - but then the last one was not what I expected but in reverse, if that makes sense ... we'd been chatting for a while but there were so many "things" that didn't match up with who I thought I was looking for - too far away, terrible accent, not tall enough, a bit older, much too domesticated, too much baggage - to name a few. Now before I get lynched, I know I'm far from perfect but I am being honest - I didn't think we had a cat in hells chance (why do we say that?) but we met on a mate date and things have just gone from there and it's soooo much better than I might have imagined - the things that matter are right .... so lesson learned; online dating might not give you want you think you want but give it a chance and you might find what you need

RE: What food's DON'T you eat??

I try to add foods that I have previously classed as no go foods to my diet ... some with success, others not so well received .... I had never eaten rice until I was about 32 - always felt like maggots in my mouth! Have tried a lot of fish and shellfish, even shark - just hate the taste and I cannot even contemplate eggs - unless they are hidden as cake or pancake batter ... I used to feel sick at the mere sight of a fried egg but not that bad anymore.
Trying cheese at the moment - I now eat Philidelphia, pizza with a bit of cheese and Wensleydale with the cranberries and fruit in - anything else tastes like vomit ...
Coriander took a few attempts to get to grips with and not keen on cardamon - but like most hot, spicy and sour ethnic cuisine.
My girls don't eat eggs or fish either at home but like you, I do the odd fish finger and they've had "real" fish and chips while out.
Olives are a no - not even the thought of having a good martini attached to it could convince me!

RE: Ears 2

love the beatles museum on the Docks - did it so many times as a kid, never was really into them but that got me interested. Did you have your penny pressed with the Beatles heads?

RE: Queen of England visit to Dublin should it go ahead

I am not condoning what he or many others did on either side - but if you are going to pursue these crimes it must be unilaterally, not selectively.
You cannot have one law for one and not the other.

RE: Who would you choose !!!!!

James Dean Bradfield .... and the question ... "Why not me"

RE: Has Romance Died??

not so much I mean expectation - as I think 2 people contributing get much better results than 2 people trying to give and take ...

RE: Has Romance Died??

No - not about length of time, but about ability to give without expectation ....

RE: Has Romance Died??

very true ... depends where you on the big romance curve ...after the last decade ... give someone who'll wash up and bring me tea in bed over a bunch of flowers any day ...
