I blame the Americans and Germans!!

Like a party eh?

 

Kyra! Couldn't you at least find an antique one!

 

It is sad and horrible, not what I would recommend unless they had an interest in the subject. Tour guides eh?

Reading is my Zanax

 

Is this one more convenient?

 

"Reading is my Zanax"

Has been my favourite pastime for decades - since I figured out the word sterling on a spoon while still a tot. Unfortunately I am seldom strong enough to hold a book for very long these days. I bought a number of book stands, but the only way in which I can use one comfortably is in bed with a hospital table. And as we all know (according to my mother), there are only two reasons to be in bed during the day - and one of them is if you are dying.

 

Found a link for Pat, first link, the first poem....he writes whatever he sees in the day, ignore the second one, hope I'm not torturing you....

That is very touching, Carol, and just the way it is. People like Rita are too beautiful for a world with so many evil minds in it.

 

AJ, the Hindu culture have a wonderful way of describing the structure of the process of Mankind and it is nothing like what we believe here in the West. Puts us to shame really. Someday I am quite sure we will talk about it. Thank you for reading Pat babe

 

I am horribly late to this welcome thread.
So welcome aboard and enjoy your stay here.

Mansons, yes you have a lovely way of expressing yourself, I aspire to be as funny, bright, clever and expressive as you are. A gal can dream.

 

Pearlsnblume - little can disconcert me, but your praise has made me blush................I prefer to think of myself as just a rambling, half literate old man with a wondering, increasingly feeble mind...................

 

Ah, will you stop or I shall have to (shall? I don't ever use the word shall, what is happening??) Somehow you raise the bar in language even for me and I am a proud commited illiterate......now what was I saying? oh yes, forgotten now with the shock...........Anyway I dub you official bar raiser of this forum and object of much envy and wishful if onlys and now we will have a song

 

Mansons has had a few years longer than most of us to properly learn the language.

 

Imagine!! Blown away altogether.....a bit parallel universy feeling....am I dreaming? What a site! A little comment on how user friendly it is, best one I have ever been on by far!!!! Thank you all so much

 

Congratulations!
I concur! THE BEST SITE!
