Yes,I hold on and it becomes easier than when we were in our headstrong 20’s and 30’s. You realize that there is no way that one partner can ever change the other, you either accept that or move on. My husband is a Scorpio, they said we were doomed, funny how we are the only married couple left from our friends in London who married around the same time. We give each other space when needed and I really have been out of the dating game for so long, I don’t ever want to start again. » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 4:40 pm Ok javaz, I was talking about my personal experience, I could write a book but of course I won’t. » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 4:15 pm That is funny. I’m a Taurean with Venus as my rising star. When people used to ask about my relationship with my husband, I always answered that he was the bright, balloon floating towards the cosmos and I was the one on the ground holding the string to make sure that he remained out of danger of being lost forever. That was then but it still holds true after 30 years, I never tire of my job. » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 4:11 pm Yes the spouse is to blame javez but many men are weak when it comes to sexual attraction. We think about the consequences an affair would have on our families, they think that as long as it’s only once or a few times, it doesn’t count. I still blame the women and their total lack of compassion for the wives and often the children involved. Women are from Venus. Men are from Mars. » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 3:49 pm Well said choicelady. I too have met a number of wealthy people, some even well known but the thing they all had in common apart from wealth is their visible loneliness, their ruins of failed marriages and relationship on the way. We all need friends and I remember something that my mother said years ago, if you reach middle age and can count your real friends on one hand, the ones who would rush to your side from anywhere in the world when you are in need, then you should consider yourself lucky. I have seen my friends when they were generous, buying drinks for everyone, paying for everyone at the whole table after dinner and I have seen then fall and be rejected. » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 3:41 pm What happens in a marriage should remain private unless the parties choose to make it public knowledge that is. This whole Tiger thing has made me mad and then sad. The “vulture” press care more about how many women Tiger is alleged to have slept with than how many people have died this week due to lack of healthcare, how many children have died of starvation, the poverty in your own country and issues that face millions every day. By pursuing this man’s private life, they forgot about his wife and two small children and the impact of what they wrote, true or not, will carry consequences, and have more than likely ruined the life of this family by not allowing them the privacy to work through it by themselves. The women who target married men instead of finding their own are the ones I blame the most, they have always ranked on the lowest possible scale of tackiness in my opinion. » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 3:06 pm Extra! Extra! Read The Op-Eds From the Planet! Japan firms owed $7.5 bln by Dubai: report. I often wonder just how many rich guys bought into this get more rich quick scheme, this bold and for me quite uninspiring “mirage”in the desert that the majority of us couldn’t afford even if we wanted to go there. I have no sympathy for anyone who lost money in the kerfuffle during their financial crisis, they won’t miss what they have lost in any case and will continue to screw the public to make up for the loss. An example of being screwed would be products and appliances that are made with the intention of lasting no more than 5 years at the max. I was talking to hubby the other day about how long our light bulbs, tissues, toilet rolls, fridges, washing machines and so on last for the last 10 years, I make a note of these things and think that we are certainly being well and truly screwed right, left and center. One of these companies complaining that they have lost money that they have hoarded from consumers, doesn’t spoil my day in the least. The idiom “A fool and his money are soon parted” seems to ring true throughout history, some people never do learn from past mistakes. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20091212/wl_mideast_afp/japanuaeeconomydubaidebt » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 5:10 am “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 6:42 am Hi nellie, I’m getting a little sleepy and lazy too. I’ve given my opinion on this very subject as I personally see it from a distance on K7’s recent post, and will try to repeat it again in my morning, please forgive me, it’s been a long day. Good night and good day, have a good Sunday. KK » Posted By Kalima On December 13, 2009 @ 6:16 am Un(der)reported News—Weekend Edition Good night kesmarn, sleep well and be safe. » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 7:26 pm Hi wts, I agree with him, am disgusted that it still goes on and that there is a demand for it here in Asia. » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 7:24 pm I’m on it, the pasta sauce is almost ready and my oldest is already thinking about plate licking, two plates for her today. Hubby won’t be back until 2, he likes to run, don’t know where to though. » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 7:14 pm In case I miss you again bito, good night, hope you rest well tonight. I have to start cooking lunch now, it’s Sunday here. » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 6:30 pm LOL, you missed Estonian from the list, my errant father since I was 2. Hubby’s at his gym, a Sunday ritual. Glad you liked the music. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 5:56 pm This was the album but her earlier solo work was great too. http://www.amazon.com/Feeling-Good-Randy-Crawford/dp/B000MGUZKM » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 5:50 pm Both videos are sung by Randy Crawford, she is one of the most underrated singers I know. I saw her in concert here 4 times, she’s simply wonderful but most of her best songs have been removed from youtube, what a drag. The guy is Joe Sample, a great musician, they got together for her new album this year I think it was or maybe last years, the years fly by. » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 5:44 pm Evolving from someone who didn’t want a computer until March 07 and not even then, to turning it on 5 minutes after I wake up to read my latest news emails, I can understand this. I’m hoping that reading will be an option again, if they can do something with my left eye next year, I’ve missed it a lot. » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 5:41 pm Sorry bito that wasn’t my intention but the moon bears sprung to mind with nellie’s story about the bear gall bladders being sold illegally. I’ll try to find something more uplifting for the next time, I promise. How about this, one of my favourite singers.
Or this.
» Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 5:08 pm Good afternoon bito, you didn’t miss much with our sunrise, it’s rather cold and dull today with cold winds. It is totally wrong, barbaric in fact, but the older Asian generation think nothing of it. » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 4:50 pm My pleasure, the more people that know, the better. » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 4:39 pm It is very popular in Asia, that is the problem. Several years ago I found some upstairs in a plastic ziplock, I asked hubby about it because it resembled something we could go to jail for possessing. He explained that someone had brought it back as a gift from a trip to China, when I showed him pictures of the moon bears, he threw it away. It’s like everything else, if there is demand, then there is supply. People here have to be educated about these things or they are not aware or even concerned about how these “medications” are harvested. In the meantime there are concerned groups like the ones in the links, who care and continue with their rescue efforts as they try to enlighten the rest of us. » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 4:33 pm Good afternoon javaz, I sent a reply this morning. » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 4:17 pm I doubt they will lose sleep about anything that doesn’t directly affect them. I bet Bush slept like a log while soldiers and civilians were dying in Iraq every hour of the day. Remember, in their rewritten Bible, everything they do is approved by him. » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 4:14 pm As you say kesmarn, it is diabolical and I wish that more people were made aware of it. I have joined in to sign petitions and forward emails to my friends around the world who in turn have passed it on to people they know. The agony these animals go through every day is heartbreaking, the love they show after rescue and rehabilitation is worth a thousand words.. I watched a documentary a few years ago about their living conditions, the look on their faces as the bile was extracted, it kept me sleepless for many days. Here is another link with pictures and explanations about the plight of these bear, not pretty but eye opening. http://www.all-creatures.org/anex/bear.html » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 3:44 pm The extraction of bile from caged Moon Bears has long been a thing of interest for me. It is still being done in China and Korea, where it is processed and sold as medication for anything from a stomach upset to a cure for hangovers at very high prices. It is appalling and should be stopped. http://www.sharonbowles.org.uk/pages/MoonBears.html Good evening/afternoon everyone, just woke up. » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 3:24 pm Vox Populi – AfterChat – 12-11-09 You know what we say about beans, right? I hope that you had gas masks. » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 6:12 am Well thanks to about 100 SOS emails from me to AdLib, I got my mojo back and it came with my Gravator too. It’s almost my Sunday, hope that you all have a good Saturday. Good night from a sleepy Tokyo. » Posted By Kalima On December 12, 2009 @ 5:58 am Those days of staying up until the wee hours are long gone for me. I need at least 7 hours of sleep to function the next morning. With 16 cats always needing something, a nap is just a distant dream for me, plus napping gives me a headache. I’m usually in bed before midnight. » Posted By Kalima On December 11, 2009 @ 11:39 pm LOL boomer, you will sleep like a log. » Posted By Kalima On December 11, 2009 @ 11:20 pm “‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;” » Posted By Kalima On December 11, 2009 @ 10:33 pmComments Posted By Kalima
You can buy “friendship” as long as you are paying and as long as you can entertain the fickle people around you but you can’t buy genuine love, no matter how rich you may be, if they believe this then they should accept the consequences.
