  sure, the monkees were a pre-fabricated band, but their influence was still immeasurable.

  Tinnitus - are you afflicted?

  by Glander in

  tap a spoon on a crystal goblet - the ringing sound never stops.

  sometimes birds also chirp, it is always there.. otc remedies are useless.

  mine started with a workplace situation that could have been prevented with simple ear plugs, but in those days nobody knew that extreme noise over a prolonged time could cause aural nerve damage.

  I have had tinnitus since I was a child, so in a sense I am lucky, as I grew used to it. Yrs of dancing in front of massive speakers at festivals didn't help. This may seem strange but the way I dealt with it was to love it, not fear it. Some people get obsessed with the ringing, so cause mental health issues on top of the affliction.

  I just googled the Atlanta and was reminded that the hotel reserves the right to not except you (even if you've booked) if they don't like the look of you!! LOL! Worth looking at their website.

  I always get to threads late!!

  The nicest, well the most unusual and quirky hotel I have stayed at by a long shot was The Atlanta hotel in Bangkok. I am too lazy to upload photos but I can give you an idea of what it's like. The place is straight out of the 1930's/40's. When I arrived, I went staright to the pool. There was only one guest lazing on a sun chair. She had bright red lipstick, a huge floppy hat, thirties swimmers and sunglasses on and was lazily smoking a cigarette in a 12 inch cigarette holder! She gave me a look of disdain and turned her head. Greta Garbo? This was 2008!

  I was to find out that the uber rich never stay in the high towers while visiting Bangkok. They search out this bizarre little piece of history. The staff are surly and rude, the hot water is even hit and miss. Try to complain and you will get a "dressing down" as all fitings are original from 70 years ago...There are two pet tortoises called Doris and Archibald named after Doris Day and Carey Grant which hobble around eating the plants.

  I agree and the obligatory cuddle after....Oh dear! It's the 21st century, do men really need to be reminded to show a little intimacy?

  Do you believe in past lives??

  by watersprout in

  2. friends

  i am currently studying for my ''crystal therapy'' diploma and in the last module which is next month it looks at ''past life'' regression... well i for one do not believe in living before so will probably doze off during this last module... anyway i have been told by some people i know that i have been here before... apparently i ''date'' back to ''atlantis''... i found it very difficult to hold back my giggles so i said ''really, i always thought i was brand new''... to which started a discussion on past lives.. i just wondered if any of you lovely folk believed in past lives and had ever had any of this type of regression done??

  i may not believe in it, but if it helps someone heal from emotional trauma then good for them and i'm really happy for that one.. just wanted some thought's on the subject.. peace.

  When people ask me if I have lived before, my first question is "Who am I?" (That can be a separate topic....)

  Obviously, my body is unique at this time, so is there some essence that is passed from death to birth and on? My opinion is that Jung had it right by saying that we can (occassionally) tap into the deep subconscious where all is available.

  When a person's ego is tickled by saying they were a princess in Atlantis the mind goes to work, possibly in dream states or doing breath work, or with hallucinogens. The experience may be real but not the experience of this actual person.

  On another point, I am amazed at how many reincarnated Native American shamans I meet, or Pharoahs and Queens of Egypt but no boring ol' clerks in a 30's govt office...

  Thanks Sizemik. Worth a look at utube. Man I have never been in one before......That noise is as bad as the shakes. We had two close together. 6.1. and 6.8, then an aftershock later at 5.9 I agree with getting out as the building standard here is nonexistent. No way was I staying in a doorway etc. When I ran outside wrapping the sarong around me, the locals looked terrified but had tears of laughter. They don't miss an opportunity to laugh at "bules".
