i got a weird call from a work mate last night.
she's going through hell for the past year or so with her soon-to-be ex, who had been carrying on an affair and stopped sharing their family expenses.
long story short, he's out of the house now and has left her and their kids out in the country without any transportation.
You know what they say; friends help you move, REAL friends help you move bodies.
Seriously though I had an American friend when I used to live in London who asked me to marry her so she could stay in London, I didn't in the end but only because it would have really upset my girlfriend. I must say that it depends on the situation and who the friend is.
obviously not the real stars everyone believes they're there!.
but ive been interested in everything i couldnt be as a jw, ghosts ghouls, been to a wicker thing with sirona , had a physic reading etc.
and ive just got a kit on how the stars influence your life and how you can do a birth chjart or something, but i dont understand it, and just wondered if anyof you guys are into it and can explain it to me?.
I don't believe in astrology at all, though I do find it mildly amusing to read the horoscopes in the papers.
That said when I started at college I met this girl who used to catch the same train as me, we had only known each other for about a week when she wrote about 2 pages of a4 on me supposedly based on my birthdate and birth location and using astrology. This stuff was very specific and not anything we had talked about previously, I have always wondered how she figured some of this stuff out (it was just after I had left home and the witness thing and it was all still fresh and raw and was something I hadn't discussed with anyone at all)
I don't know perhaps she was very good at reading body language but it completely floored me when she gave me this horoscope. She didn't mention anything useful like what the next lottery numbers would be but it was quite accurate nevertheless, even if it didn't convince me about astrology.
he may now be a bit of an 'old croc' but neil young has really pulled a gem out of the bag with his latest album 'living with war'!
i've been a fan for over 25 years now and this is a milestone album, probably the best since freedom or ragged glory imo.
he's very often at his best when ripping into someone or something, a brilliant writer when it comes to putting things simply and in a nutshell.. stand-out track has got to be 'let's impeach the president'.
I do own Harvest but I've never been sure if his subsequent work was as good. I'll try the albums you've suggested.
is there a secret to becomming good at math?
or is it a matter of having a special talent and if youve got it your blessed and if you havent your stuffed.. like an artist who is naturally gifted, goes off and produces a brilliant picture without a lesson in his life.
and the person who really , really loves art and would like to paint and has dozens of lessons and produces crap.. i know when i worked in a place where we had to add up in our heads, i got really good, but when i left so did my ability to add up quickly and accurately.. if there is anyone out there with any good tips, id like to know .
I suppose it depends on what exactly you are talking about, if its mental arithmatic then I would say I am as good as the next person. Mathematics as in Algebra, trigonometry and calculus now you're talking, although I suppose my strength is in applied mathematics rather than pure.
some kind of sanity seems to have settled over the place.
where's shining one, scholar and all the other little rapscallions?
Just say the word. If I'm not welcome here by the majority, I will leave.
No you shouldn't leave, you're far too much fun
.
we were all taught that we would live eternally and we all beleived it.. how do you feel now?
i still beleive i'll be here in 1000000000000 years eating poutine and drinking beer.
Everything is temporary, Human beings especially so. Makes life all the sweeter
eh heh?
i know this is either going to be one of those topics where people consider it a popularity contest or something....i'm just being an imp and seeing if anyone will be forward enough to tell about the person that they would like to date.. me, i'm married so that leaves me out!
but i have seen a lot of beefcakes on here!
No mentions! jeez whats a tiger got to do round here?
I suppose mine would be leolaia (sp?) just for having a brain the size of a planet.

haven't seen a thread about music here in a while.
with the summer approaching for us northern hemisphere types, what is in your cd player?thom yorke - the eraserdeath cab for cutiedredg
Mogwai(awesome)
Couldn't agree more, I was watching the dvd that came with mr beast just the other day. If you like Mogwai you should have a listen to godspeed you! black emperor. f#a# is a good one.
me: s***ing one: where have i complained about scripture?
he: then you have now changed your mind and believe that all scripture is inspired?
me: as others have already helpfully pointed out, questioning and complaining are completely different.
You have no idea of what 'love' in this context means. You take the sugar coated pill and have no idea of the eventual poisoning it will bring. As long as you are told what you want to hear then you are happy, happily ignorant.
Sinning one,
You can convince yourself of whatever meaning you like, but I know what love means. Love doesn't need context or some deeper understanding, love is unconditional.
I wish I was ignorant of fundamentalist claptrap, I would be much happier.

I should have also mentioned
Stars - set yourself on fire - two lead vocalists, one female and one male
Mew - and the glass handed kites - they sound a bit like the pale saints or a quieter my bloody valentine
and the tunng album is called comments of the inner chorus
