Because someone in the world has like liked me once more.
I was beginning to think it would never ever ever happen and that I would die with great friends and an okay family :) but no loved one (or at least no loved ones since being 23) but there's STILL A CHANCE. And that's the important thing.
and he's Brazillian. And one of the most handsome men I've ever seen. And lovely.
But you know... with people whose first language isn't English. There's bound to be lots missing. Or something missing. As in, you can't really tell what sort of person they are. As quickly as you could with a British person or someone whose English is top top notch. Maybe it's not important.
Phwoar!!
Thoughts on the language thing?

today's success: banana cranberry cup cakes with maple cream-cheese icing. mmmmm!
(mind you, i never seem to get my proportions right with my icing, so have enough in the fridge to ice a whole other cake!)
also made an (lamb) irish stew, but i'm not half as impressed with how it turned out (not enough flavour, unfortunately)

I'm a bit suspicious about two slightly different emails I've had from PayPal over the weekend and wondered if anyone else has received similar or is aware of a scam.
Both emails were saying there had been problems with my account, due to suspicious possible fraudulent use and wanted me to check my status, as I might not be able to buy or sell anything using my account while it was suspended... One of them asked me to log on through the email they had sent and verify my account details.
Needless to say, I haven't and haven't yet got on their site to look at my status there. The emails look genuine but I've had similar over the years from Banks, which I know were scams and reported them as such.
Anyone have an experience or thoughts please?

How long have you know your oldest friend for?
Do you recall how did you become friends?
Have you been to holiday together and if so where?

I just wanted to pass on some news.
Mr55 has cancer. We're waiting for him to get the extra scans he needs before he has major surgery to remove a chunk of his bowel, plus having radiotherapy and chemotherapy. As I said over on the dark side, I don't plan to whinge about this regularly. but I know some of you, particularly those I've met, would want to know.
We're just trying to get through this one day at a time, and hoping for the best.

Food related? It isn't, except that the OPer posts mainly on GS - and LP don't have a branch tae discuss LP's adverts.
"Gorsch". At least I think this is what the flashing advert said before I confined it tae the bin that is adblock forever. Not since the days of the flashing, flying pink pig has LP sunk so low.
I can live with adverts - but I loathe flashing ones: they are so distracting that I'll immediately boycott any product I see. I jest not.

This girl at the pottery studio... one of these young, overly enthusiastic and therefore needy types... came in for workshop tonight after getting married last weekend. And as expected, every other word out of her mouth was either wedding and husband and married and how she's changed her name and its now a "two word name" like van Gogh her favorite artist.
And then she says... (don't laugh)

...another interesting "discussion" I had yesterday that made me laugh:
General chit chat in gym.
Guy one say "Czech republic is still a communist country."
Guy two corrects him " No, it's democratic now as well"
Guy one "NO, definitely communist."
Me "Well, maybe you could say there are more socialist elements in the country then in the UK but it sure isn't communist anymore"
Guy one "No, the czech are most definitely not social people, they don't talk to strangers."
Silence. I bit my lip so hard stopping myself laughing....

Would it be dangerous and wrong to arrange a London piss up or similar before the end of the year?
My living situation is becoming increasingly precarious and it might be nice to make some new friends.

There was an article in the paper about her by Naomi Wolf either today or yesterday (I'll look it up in a second). It was saying that the reason she is such a force is that she's the first working-class right-wing feminist to run for office - she's nothing to do with the East Coast elite, and isn't intimidated by it (which they hate). Wolf also says that having agreed to run she then got treated like a political geisha, who wasn't allowed to change her speeches since they had already been released to the press...
But essentially the idea is that she's the first of her type to run, she's telegenic and she's not going to go anywhere soon.
Thoughts?

Travelling in the hotter parts of the world brings you face to face with all sorts of creatures that you’re not used to. For an Englishman, normally to be found in the company of nothing more exciting than a fox or a cow, suddenly coming face to face with everything from camels to alpacas can be daunting. Close encounters with Australian sharks & Kangaroos, the wild dogs of India, the snakes of Laos and elephants in Thailand challenges your view of the world and take bring you right outside your comfort zone. But, nothing prepares you for having to face a creature that you are normally adverse to. I left England with one particular animal dislike; that of spiders...
Warning, if you don't like tales of spiders encounters then don't read this article!
I know these are all true as they happened to me... and I am scared of spiders! Includes up close visits with a Redback, the White ...
