you know its my birthday on tuesday. You'd better have something special planned. You better have dinner waiting for me when I get home. You better bake me a cake as well! You should have all the lights out and only have candles lighting the entire house. A bubble bath would be a good idea too!" In the span of 35 seconds she had suggested everything I had planned to do. I totally understand what your saying there...now she'd think you o

Now it can be said that humans are somewhat social creatures. We need others around us. We need conversation. We need stimulation. But can we have too much social stimulation that overloads our fragile emotional system? I like people. I have friends and family. I socially interact....but....I can find if I've had a big couple of weeks full of people and places tha

Hello everybody!! I can't get the remaining riddles...but do you mind if I throw one in the mix...? I cannot be felt, seen or touched; Yet I can be found in everybody; My existence is always in debate; Yet I have my own style of music. What Am I? I'm often held, yet rarely touched; I'm always wet, yet never rust; I'm sometimes wagged and sometimes bit;<

Hello Andy....nice to see you around....well and healthy, I hope. Hello....Sally .....are you still around....I think we're missing a very insightful point of view here..... If God wanted us to experience no pain or suffering at all, He would have forced us to stay in Paradise. But then how could we learn and grow without experiencing the other side of the coin? Love does not manipulate or control the beloved - hence God's painful

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50." The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet? I c

Put all the shirts in the wash for a cycle .....but....put in 1/2 a bottle of bleach in with it....and after a few weeks of this they'll fall apart on his own back....how's he going to blame you then...?..'it happens to all clothes that have been overworn'....'it was just their time.'...'it's just a natural part of clothes life cycle'.

Hmmm...I don't think I'll have any reason to blacklist anyone...I did think that perhaps I was blacklisted for a time...but I soon worked out...with a little help from fellow blogger, Mignuna, that I was simply not turning to page 2 after the first page had reached 50......but for a little bit I felt a pang of anxiety.. wondering what I could have possibly said to upset someone so.....I'm glad I didn't..... But something I have noticed here is that

How can we say we want a peaceful world when as a country we are arming ourselves to the teeth? How can we expect other countries and groups to lay down their arms when we are bending to pick up more? We have travelled the same defensive, pre emptive, attack without questioning motive road for too long. I think if we are going to make any headground in the battle for peace we must lead by example. Lay down our arms....or at least for a

Hello Andy....hi Sally...! The weather has been so beautiful the past two days that I have had to spend it outside with my little boy soaking up the sunshine......but today it's a bit dull so I thought I'd spend a little time at the ol' comp! Hope you've both been keeping well...? I thought I’d waffled on too much about unworldly things, which had put you right off. I enjoy this conversation so much and love hearing your views,

Hello Sally, Andy... I've been a bit busy lately so I'm sorry for not dropping by earlier... I had a thought the other night....a hypothetical .....in our state when we are not here on Earth....we don't have bodies...right....So we are all spirit and essence of being.....not physical....So maybe....I was thinking ....that we come here to Earth to...say....feed ...feed on the physical aspect we are without when we are in our spiritual

Wreckless Eric, Well...I think I had better get my hands on a Wacom Tablet then!! Sounds like it would make the experience a little easier.....it's pretty dusty around here and my mouse is always getting jammed and stuck up with dirt.....makes creativity a little tedious at times...lucky when a major mistake is made you can simply click undo! What are 'gui 'skinners''? I will see what else I can put up......

Update noted!! ...My turn for the update....I didn't end up getting anything for myself the other day....I didn't have to...I hadn't said anything to him at all and My Better Half went out ...sneaking off on his own without mentioning a word and came home with a lovely silver bracelet he had engraved......Flowers.....and some paint and canvasses...which I really needed and was so happy about how considerate he was and how well he knew me....fu

You should try block printing your pictures and see how they go... ...your picture gives me a carnival sort of feel......and if you really look at it you can see a faint wisp of profile in the upper central area....and even....don't laugh...in the brighter yellow centre region...an eagle..... ....I see a lot into Art.......

Sally, I don't think you need to be married to show you love each other. Why do you need a piece of paper to say that? I have said that exact sentence before....I think millions of others would have too... Love is such a strong emotion that it can hurt even when everything is in its place...and also when things are not. Love is a many faced emotion compared to Anger....

Muggaz, That was a really profound article, Muggaz, that makes a lot of sense and I appreciate you writing it! I don't question anyone's reason for being here because if I do I think the first person I should question is myself and I have already done that and I am quite content to be a part of the JU community.
