I decided to go to an auto parts store to see if I could get a pair of wiper blades FOR my 86 Volkswagen Golf. The clerk said, "That sounds like a fair trade".
Life happens. Just when we think that things are fine, we end up on a dead-end street, or we turn right when we should have turned left. Despite the subject of this thread, I'm fine. There are people in third world countries who are literally starving to death as I write this; think about it for a moment. No matter how poor we think we are within Western society, people are dying for lack of food and the most basic medicines.
My internet cost alone could likely sustain a family in India....Africa for a month.
We have the recourses to feed the world, but we're to busy deciding which Plasma 42" TV we should buy.
I met a young man last week who is living next door with his wife (a temporary situation while they sell their house) Since we share web design as a hobby, he came over for coffee a few days ago. During our conversation he became aware of my financial situation. Tonight he came over with 6 large bags of groceries, enough staples to last me 'till next spring.
I didn't know how to feel, a little embarrassed, touched, and fighting my pride. Angels in human form do exist.
We are so guilt driven; I'm so fat, too skinny, what did I say to turn him/her off ? Why are we alone ? Why do we punish ourselves for events that turned out as they did ?
We are all perfect beings, yet we choose to measure ourselves by religion, culture, parents, politics, crows feet, beer bellies and cellulite.
Do you know who you really are ? Or has your country and culture dictated who you should be ? Just be who you are, but please, learn and grow.
OK, I'll play. Love you Austrian princess. Adore you N. Carolina beauty. So precious my Southern horse lover. So lovely Atlanta woman. Malta, you're all beautiful. A certain sxy. Aussi, breathtaking.
Europe is sleeping, N., America has just got out of the shower for a Sat., night to do whatever you do on the weekend. Go to a bar with friends or alone, stay here on CS, whatever.
I love this site. I can flirt, I can rave, I can express. I don't have to leave my house to pretend to fall in love with a beautiful woman. The cyber illusion, welcome to this realm.
I believe that our time for politics, left, right or between has run out. We are now in survival mode as per mother nature and what we have done to her. We are still building higher walls and bigger guns, while our air is unbreathable, our water undrinkable, our crop lands barren.....hunger is the biggest killer on earth right now, yet we in the first world nations snack on unhealthy junk food, watching the world crumble on TV. It's like your country or mine has its own protected space via our politics and belief systems. WRONG.
We are a billion times lesser than a grain of sand within this universe. Our highly evolved monkey brains have and still do, justify our own demise.
At 62 years old, I can attest to the down-fall of the USA. I have witnessed it. The same old stuff just doesn't work anymore, i.e; Might makes right. We now live in a global village where the actions of a few may bring destruction to many. It is time for change. It's time to grow up. It's time to leave ethnocentrism behind and join the community of this globe.
Europe clued into this years ago, it's far from perfect but it's working.
As a last ditch attempt, he chose the Gov., of Alaska, Sarah Palin. She has been in politics for only 2 years other than being the mayor of a town of 9000. If McCain wins and dies at 75 as do so many American males, then she will be president of the most powerful country in the world. Think about it.
I think that escapism in my case is prescribed, so I will go to bed now and take as many as are willing with me. It's only a double bed, but my imagination coupled with your pics., can accommodate at least twelve. I'll make breakfast.
