This thread made me recall a rhyme we used to sing at school . . .
Big footed Italy kicked little Sicily over the Mediterranean sea. Up jumped Germany felt a bit Hungary, got some Turkey and dipped it in Greece.

Describe the Perfect Woman or Man....
by Dragonlady76 inok after the serena williams thread and a few others that focus on looks i want to know what your idea of perfection in the opposite or same sex is.. i like muscular men with a full head of hair, i love classic features like a strong nose and jaw.. i also find blond blue eyed men sexy (don't ask me why).
i don't like that are to thin, nice teeth and soft eyes.. ok now it's your turn.. .

LOL Nvr - Old George Dubya looks like he's suffering from a bad case of haemmorhoids rather than laughing.

A store that sells new husbands has just opened where a woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
"You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as
the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch: you may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!"- So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
- On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs.
- The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.
- The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking."Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
- She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the
housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
- Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework,
and have a strong romantic streak.She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to
please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
FOR THE MEN
- A new wives store opened across the street.
- The first floor has wives that love sex.
- The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.
- The third through sixth floors have never been visited. -

long shot - any Greek cooks here?!
by dobbie inokay i doubt it but thought it worth a try - when me and hubby were just the 2 of us we used to go to a greek island once or twice a year (sigh i miss it) but my two all time favorite dishes were greek.
i have tried to look in internet for recipes but they all seem to differ.
just wondering if anyone has the recipes for these:.

Hiya Dobbie. I've had Briam on a holiday in Halkidiki. Lovely stuff! Here's a recipe for it.
1 large aubergine, sliced in ½ inch rounds
2-3 ripe tomatoes, thickly sliced
1 clove garlic, sliced or crushed
salt and pepper and dried thyme (or fresh if you can find it)
2-3 medium sized potatoes, in ½ inch slices
approx 50ml good quality olive oil ( I always use Greek oil for Greek food - it makes a difference)
1 small onion, slicedPour half a cup of water into a casserole dish. Layer aubergine slices in the dish. Slosh on some olive oil and salt and pepper. Sprinkle the onions, garlic and pinches of thyme here and there amongst all the layers.
Layer on the tomatoes, add a little more oil. Add the potatoes, a good dollop more oil, more salt and pepper. Then add another layer of aubergine and more oil, salt and pepper.
Cover and bake, according to a sliding scale of cooking time versus temperature. An authentic briam should cook for at 3 or 4 hours in a low oven, say gas mark 4. but it will cook well in 2 or maybe even 1½ hours on gas mark 6 or 7. Either way, it needs no further attention.
Eat with fresh crusty bread, perhaps a green salad, some olives, and definitely a glass of red.

So I told him I love him
by Thinking of Leaving inand after a year of dating he didn't say it back to me, said he's not sure what he feels or what it feels like to be in love

Hey ((Thinking of Leaving)) - The guy's being honest and not just telling you what you want to hear. Love means different things to different people. It's a very abstract word. Ask him what he does feel for you and see if you're ok with that, at least for now. If your love is unlikely to be returned, then you'll at least be able to move on. I know it's a cliche but there's someone out there for you. It might not be this guy.
Take care

Money can be saved on expensive vibrators by simply filling an empty aluminium cigar tube with angry wasps. . .
. . . so I've been told.

DON'T waste money on expensive iPods/mp3 players. Simply think of your favourite tune and hum it. If you want to "switch tracks", simply think of another song you like and hum that instead.

When stories like this get high profile media attention I often wonder what feedback people in Field Service™get. I also wonder how JWs handle the questions and remarks. Probably in the same way JWDaughter's mum did. Then again hopefully some see it as the straw on the donkey's back. Standing up for paedos surely was never part of spreading "the good news?"
BTW welcome milliejw and Vonbon.
