What are you currently thinking about?

[danecobain]

I'm worrying about glastonbury - i haven't made any preparations for it at all >.<

[hiderinthebutterbox]

am thinking how lovely my daughter is... for NOT minding that her dopey brother has bought V-Festival tickets that clash with her wedding day and she has given him her blessing to "GO and enjoy it bro :)"

[bastet]

am thinking how sad it is that things devolve and some get caught in the fallout..all unnecessary and ridiculous!

[danecobain]

i'm thinking about the party that i went to yesterday, it was fun ^_^

[Jermac]

I'm thinking about my upcoming surgery on July 26 which just happens to be my birthday. I will go "under the knife." One of the two lobes of my left lung will be cut off in order to cut out a cancerous tumor. There should be no complications, and the dirty little tumor will be cut out and fed to the dogs, I suppose.

[S.Tehrani]

Pumped about the weekend.

[Captain Cosine]

Thinking about love. If love and fear are opposites, and we deem fear as irrational, then shouldn't its opposite be equally irrational (i.e. love)?

[Gardenhead]

They're not opposites (I suppose if it's possible to diametrically oppose love with something, hatred does the job pretty well). We also don't deem fear irrational unless it is produced by some malfunction in the brain; even then, there's often a sound darwinian root, just an unfortunate malformation and amplification along the way. It's perfectly rational to be afraid of the man with the knife at the end of the alley. On the flip side, we do deem love irrational. That's kind of the point of love. Dryden said 'a man is to be cheated into passion, but reasoned into truth'. Love'd be no fun if you got there through rational argument; and indeed, I don't think that you could.

I am thinking about moving house. It is a hassle.

[Nature's heartbeat]

Interesting thoughts...wondering though if indifference isn't the opposite of love?

[Gardenhead]

Think about light and dark, good and bad, hot and cold. They're opposites. Indifference is not the flip side of love; I suppose if it could be called the flip side of anything (which I'm not entirely sure that it could be, accurately), it would be 'taking interest'. Opposite isn't just 'different to', it implies an utterly contrary state.

[Nature's heartbeat]

The way I think is that care is a big part of love...and even in hate there is care but of a different, misdirected, more infected kind...so opposites in a way...but indifference on the other hand seems to be total non-care and an opposite to both love and hate...maybe that doesn't make much sense, but anyway, just the random thoughts...

[Gardenhead]

Good and evil are contrary moral states. Love and hate are two contrary states of feeling. Indifference isn't the opposite of either, but a total lack of the common driving force behind both. If you isolate 'caring' then yes, indifference could be said to be the opposite of 'caring'; but love is a far more complex beast than that.

[Nature's heartbeat]

Hmm, lemme go back for a moment...I said: "The way I think is that care is a big part of love" and then you said: bla bla..."but love is a far more complex beast than that." So the way I see it, both of us agree that care is part of love, but that love is also something more...Either way, thanks for sharing your thoughts. They are interesting and I take them aboard as a possibility (and I mean specifically the part about indifference being defined as a lack of driving force behind both cause I agree that it can be defined as such as well)...:)

[Gardenhead]

Well it's not a question of it can be defined as such, it is defined as such: 'lack of interest, concern, or sympathy'. For 'disinterest' to be the diametric opposite of 'love' or 'hatred', 'love' or 'hatred' would have to be synonymous with 'of concern/of interest'; in actuality, they simply share that common ancestor, incorporating and transcending simple 'interest' rather than embodying it.

God, semantics is fun.

I am now thinking about how to persuade my lazy friends to hop on a train to the nearest town to go to a nicer pub tomorrow, instead of the rubbishy boring pub that's slightly nearer.

[Captain Cosine]

I always consider fear to be the opposite of love, because hate usually branches from love. If you really really want something, that desire is branching out from love, it's a lesser form, but, you cannot have this thing you want so very much, so, most likely to protect your own feelings so there's no disappointment, you choose to hate that which you covet. Sour Grapes comes to mind.

I feel love and fear share a kind of yin yang relationship, where both are the fundamental emotions, while each can still branch from the other, kind of like a web.

And about love, you made some very good points, which i expected someone to say because well, I did a horrible job of communicating my point in the first post, and I'm still not exactly sure how to even word it. Perhaps I let my rational mind overshadow my emotions far too often.

I don't want to explain every little detail here, but, if, as Carl Jung theorized, the Anima is our other half locked inside of us and determines who we are attracted to, then all love is, is a silly projection of who we want to be more like, meaning that the feeling of love is pointless, and we only feel that way because we need to integrate our Anima into our consciousness, thereby withdrawing projections and removing that feeling of love.

I wish I could explain more but it would take forever, and I suck at explaining things.

Now I'm thinking about eating. :)

[Gardenhead]

I wouldn't go as far as to say that hatred usually branches from love - of the people I could say I genuinely hate, I don't think I could connect the dots. The Pope, George Galloway, the bloke who sits in my local pub with his shirt off swearing loudly all the time...

Obviously, to say that there even is an actual opposite of love is to simplify the emotion tremendously. If you take the feeling of safety inherent in love, then you could say that fear is the opposite of that. On the other hand, agape is more the opposite of misanthropy, while desire finds its counterpart in disgust. You can find many things that diametrically oppose aspects of love, but it's probable that nothing could be said to function in that way towards love as a whole - loathing or contempt in their most complete forms would probably be my first choices, but they're far from adequate. I think we just have to accept that love is rather a convoluted mess!

Of course, us men all just want to sleep with our mothers and murder our fathers anyway, right? :p

I'm afraid I've never read any Carl Jung. I'm familiar with what probably doesn't even amount to the bare bones of western philosophy - and the odd bit of psychology - but that's it really. At heart, I'm just a common or garden Humean skeptic. But er, a bit existentialist.

...and pseudo Kantian with a firm rooting in rule utilitarianism.

We're all pretty convoluted really >_>

edit: Eating! I just had a fabulous little simple salad that only involved whipping up some red lentils and peas in olive oil with a dash of lemon juice and a ruddy good handful of black pepper. I'm fabulously easy to please.

[Captain Cosine]

Yeah, I'll agree, love is a mess lol. Can't really simplify it. And I think you should read on Jung. He, unfortunately, talks about spirituality in almost everything, but if you ignore that he has some very genius ideas. The Shadow is the one idea of his that I simply cannot doubt. The Shadow is the reason for our morals, fears, hatred, etc. And once you face and integrate it, the world starts to look brighter, I've definitely become a happier person since I started dealing with my Shadow.

I'm a bit of a nihilist lol. I find myself thinking in circles, always going back to the same thought that nothing really matters. Spirituality is hard for the rational mind.

Now I'm thinking about what to learn next on the bass.

[Gardenhead]

Here's an easy but goddamn satisfying one for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctSFZj_LdI0

(I don't think it's possible to embed videos here... I don't think)

[Captain Cosine]

I actually just started playing bass like a week ago lol, I can't exactly play a song yet.

[Gardenhead]

Hahah, sorry! I'm a bit of a dirty mess of a singer-songwriter, but I've got a beat up bass under my bed. That's mostly played on two strings though, so even though it sounds awesome you should be able to pick it up pretty quick. God, I love bass.

[Nature's heartbeat]

I'm thinking that I'm sleepy, that that salad sounds quite appealing, that I agree that indifference is defined as such in dictionaries (but that we all have our own definitions that more or less overlap the dictionarial (and didn't the emotions come before the words to describe them anyhow?), and that love is a complex beast/mess (or beauty depending on the situation/perspective) that involves many emotions and hence can't be defined so easily. And therefore, yes, finding an opposite to love seems to be a complex task as well...but if there were, maybe it would be "the absence of love"...this has room for a range of emotions - loathing, indifference, fear etc...I can see fear as a possible opposite to love though, because fear can motivate hatred...maybe also indifference...

Not sure how I feel about the anima/animus thingie...maybe I need to read more about that first. Right now - and I'm not sure I'm right but this is how it sounds to me - it sounds like it implies that all people are incomplete and looking for their second half because of it...I don't believe that all people who fall in love are unfulfilled beings. I think it's possible to be in touch with one's different sides and be complete as a person - being who we want to be - and still fall in love.

"us men all just want to sleep with our mothers and murder our fathers anyway, right?" I can't speak for men, but somehow I don't agree with this Freudian Oedipus complex belief either...and I doubt that all psychologists find it as an adequate explanation that can be applied to everyone...but then again, I probably need to read up more on this as well...

Thanks to the both of you for contributing to interesting input of thoughts in my mind and making me realize some of the things I need to read up on. :)

P.S Good luck with that bass playing. I really like the sound of that as well. :)

P.P.S Cool song. :)

[Captain Cosine]

I strongly disagree with Freud's Oedipus Complex, and his idea that sex is our main dirving force, but he did open the door for the rest of us to step through and learn.

And I can't explain the Anima entirely because I still have many questions, but Jung said that we can integrate our Anima and be complete, without requiring another person. He said that as long as we expect another person to cplete us, we will never let them change or do what they want, because it won't fit what we want them to be; our other half.

[Gardenhead]

An adequate explanation for what? :p

Psychology seems like educated guesswork to me. Still, I do think that a lot of people reject Oedipus purely on yuck grounds.

[Captain Cosine]

An adequate explanation for what? :p

Psychology seems like educated guesswork to me. Still, I do think that a lot of people reject Oedipus purely on yuck grounds.

Yuck ground meaning that it just sounds disgusting? I agree, and that kind if dismissal is part of our Shadow, we don't want to believe we can be so "disgusting." But I still disagree with it. Maybe it can be true for someone, but not for me. Jung said our Anima is shaped by our experiences with women, starting of with our own mother, so he kind of incorporated Freud's thought into the Anima.

[Gardenhead]

I don't see that dislike of an idea can make it untrue though. I mean, I'm not qualified to judge the psychology either way, but just playing devil's advocate; that doesn't look like a sound reason to dismiss a hypothesis. Still, psychology's all relatively unfalsifiable gobbledegook - I prefer to nestle in the safer ground of neuroscience.

[Captain Cosine]

I was agreeing with you, just because something sounds nasty doesn't mean it isn't true, the reason we dismiss it lies in our Shadow is what I was getting at there.

And I agree, most of psychology is educated guesswork, but most of science is, the only difference is in the other sciences, we can provide physical evidence. I still prefer psychology, it borderlines philosophy most of the time, and that intrigues me lol.

That's quite a massive freaking difference, mind you :p

[Captain Cosine]

That's quite a massive freaking difference, mind you :p

True lol. I believe that the sciences can be brought together though, mainly physics and psychology. There are already some (rather loose mind you) comparisons and similarities between the two once we get into quantum physics. I think we can find a theory that works for both.

[Maryd.]

I am thinking it's all over - red rover. Time to move on.

[Nature's heartbeat]

An adequate explanation for what? :p


lol! Serves me just right...was probably thinking rather unspecific thoughts like explanation of "reality" or "many things"...but hey, great way of exposing the flaws of your "opponent" (I think that's the best way (probably) - to make her/him reflect and realize something themselves)...:thumbup:

Maryd., hope you're alright...x

I'm thinking that drawing faces is quite interesting (difficult but interesting and fun)...:)

Aw there is so much love here today... Mwah.

i`m thinking of when i will have a new home

[Captain Cosine]

Difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed and passed over.

[Nature's heartbeat]

Disappointed and passed over (what do you mean by "passed over" anyway (i.e in case you feel like sharing)?) from what? *just too curious as usual*

I'm wondering why I'm so attractive to headaches...

[Nature's heartbeat]

I'm missing one friend...

and also feeling worried about one TPF:er...

Lol there's no need to worry about me.

I'm thinking about what pedal to buy for my bass.

[Nature's heartbeat]

I'm thinking about a wonderful being that makes me smile a lot...:)

and that there is just cause for worrying about the above person...

[Captain Cosine]

I'm thinking people worry too much ;)

Also about quantum mechanics, other physics related topics, and some philosophical and psychological ideas related to physics. My brain hurts :(

[i.cookie]

how I feel sad because I forgot about this site.
D:
it's been far far too long since I have written anything, and even longer since I have posted.
Will have to steal my sister's laptop tomorrow and type up the few things that I have managed to write that aren't too horrible.

[pagan1]

Death oh Death,
You are in my every breath,
My lover my wife,
You cut from within sharper than a knife,
We always embrace,
With a love beyond time and space,
The engine of Evolution,
The cause of my Disillusion,
Without you there would be,no poetry,
For why create when there is no misery?

To all the suffering Poets of the World I say relish the pain,taste it,put some mustard on it,add a little salt and then ask for more. Without going deep into the Valley of Suffering how can we ever climb the Mountain of Joy? Beware though those that tread this path,for there will be tears and insanity the likes of which only those with very good imaginations may imagine...:)

[Nature's heartbeat]

I'm thinking that the above poster's post partly reminds me of something I've read...

Yes... You and me both... :hug:

[Nature's heartbeat]

Aww...thanks sweetie...but sorry to hear that you too are thinking things like this...:hug: Some friendships do seem to last longer though...:)

I guess that for me since I've been left by people that I really, really cared about/that were so close to my heart have made it easier for me to leave people too, and at least losses feel easier with time/I move on quicker now than before when I could spend so much time thinking about what I could've done better etc...In this case, I don't know...talked less? But then again, if I can't be myself, then what type of friendship was it?

[Maryd.]

But then again, if I can't be myself, then what type of friendship was it?

I know my love... I am feeling exactly the same. You and I are on the same boat when it comes to friends leaving... I don't know what they are looking for... But I sure do hope it was worth losing our friendship over.:(

[Nature's heartbeat]

Awww...sometimes trying to understand doesn't help, cause the other part isn't there to answer/doesn't want to be there to answer, and sometimes talking doesn't help either...Don't know...I think some people may just be too different (like if one wants more space and alone time and the other one more talking and sharing) to be friends...you might push each other's buttons unknowingly...and who knows, maybe they've been left too...I don't know if I'm controlling in some ways, and wish that more people were there for me because I've tried to be a good friend to people, and hence somehow on some level think they should've been too, and I might expect too much? Maybe we just define friendship and good friends differently, and my expectations might make people feel like they don't/can't live up to them...but oh well, all this is just speculation and the question is if speculation leads anywhere and more specifically, anywhere that is positive? Better lay it to rest...see if you learn something from the experience...and enjoy your time with the people who are around when they're around/you're around them...

[Maryd.]

True... You are very wise my love. Thanks.
Friendship is a give and take relationship. It should be platonic and filled with love and tears, (if needed) However one should always be there for each other. I had a friend who called me in the middle of the night once, I sat with her until 4am then I took her to the local hospital... Lucky it was curable, but I was needed, called and helped... Now she doesn't need me anymore, she doesn't call. (How did I know that was going to happen?)
Have to run love, busy day. Talk soon.
Love
Your online friend
Mary
xoxo

[Nature's heartbeat]

Thanks. Love back to you sweet Mary!

I'm thinking how some comments may sound so insensitive but in reality may not be meant that way...(I wrote in another place stuff like 'All these fake friends that you see are flies around the cookie', 'I hate this kind of treatment and understand how hatred comes about', 'I am all alone...and no one cares, as usual...solution? to stop caring and leave? maybe...' and 'bye'...and someone writes something like this to me: 'No words but THANKFULNESS...' So I'm thinking about that comment and asked the person if it was thankfulness that I was planning to leave that place (and friends in general)...

[Nature's heartbeat]

I'm thinking about that person's answer to my question above which was "try thankfulness"...and of my own response before that which was to unbefriend that person...thinking to myself ok, I don't feel a thing...probably because we haven't talked in ages and were more like acquiantances...and also since I saw that that person had been online but not bothered to reply to my question, which in turn made me think about a time in the past when I felt upset about something which I don't even remember what it was anymore, but it was connected to that person, and the response was to not open and read my message (yes, I got a message saying that), which made me feel even more upset...and what I had written wasn't written in an infected tone or anything, it was just a response to explain my point of view, to share my side of things and perhaps/hopefully create more understanding...so, since I didn't get a more immediate reply it made me think that ok, so maybe this person doesn't bother to read things again since this person knows that I'm upset (and it wasn't about him in particular this time)...

I don't regret the unbefriending..not yet anyway...cause I mean it doesn't feel as if we are friends...it was nice of him to care and all, and I take that advice to heart and try thinking about things that make me feel thankful...but it was wrong of me to think all those extra things and draw conclusions from them...and make those thoughts part of my reasons for unbefriending someone. I suppose it shows how easy it is to draw conclusions that aren't true...Need to work more on making better decisions made on truer conclusions...

[bastet]

oh hun :)
..its hard enough to understand people when you are with them..distance makes it harder..and the ethernet makes truly understanding (inflection,humour,sadness etc) nigh impossible..maybe take a step back, a breather and see what happens..
you are such a warm hearted caring person..and very much appreciated :hug:

[Nature's heartbeat]

Awww, I'm so glad that there is a sweet bastetic heart out there ready to show warmth and care...:) Thanks a lot. :hug:

Yeah, I'm doing the breather thingie...I know I've unbefriended several internet people in the past, and that has been for the same reason - that they don't talk to me...or suddenly disappear for months without even saying anything, or alternatively that I've talked to them on several occasions, seen them online a lot doing other things but apparently ignoring responding to me, and when a long time passes by I figure that since we apparently aren't friends in reality, then why keep them on paper when it's not true? It just feels fake to me...and not an ounce of doubt has occurred in my mind has occurred about that being the right thing to do at the time...sometimes you just have to stay true to how you feel. Ok, some I made a premature decision with since it appeared that they didn't ignore me on purpose and that showed itself with time and the friendships were resurrected.

Anyhow, back to right now...so far I've reached the conclusion that I don't want to leave all friends. There are some who are close to heart, regardless of if we talk regularly or not, and I would like to keep them (in case they would like to keep me too =P...I think I might be a pestilence at times, and being too much of an attention seeker, even if an adorable one...;))

As for the ethernet (whatever is included in that), I agree that communication can be difficult and misunderstandings easily occur...For instance, I was told by a person who was my best friend years ago, that in person I appear so warm and you can see how I mean things, but in texts, during misunderstandings, I can appear so cold...I thought about that and reached the conclusion that it was because I was focused on trying to understand and listening and explaining my views (and because texts are expensive to hold long conversations over) and when things seem infected, it's not easy to offer a hug etc...the other person might not like it because of the misunderstanding which has created a distance between you.

As for other things, I think I need more balance. For instance if I had real flesh and blood friends here, I wouldn't have that big a need for talking to internet people (though in a way I like expressing myself in writing and think that in some ways it is preferrable (not texts though) because it makes you collect your thoughts more)...and if my life was more balanced, and my time was better planned, also it wouldn't bother me as much to feel lonely and I probably wouldn't feel abandoned and hurt and like no one is around to care, which I have felt/interpreted things as so many times and which just makes things feel so much worse...Guess I know some of the things I need to work on...

[bastet]

i agree you have to be true to yourself - some just dont realise..somehow it is expected that people will still be there when they are needed and so perhaps they do not think these relationships need work, or at least very much - it is very sad to lose friends this way.
you have to do what feels right to you hun..but i ( and many here) are here..even if i do sometimes get cut off by the vaguaries of the dongle!!! ;)
huge :hug: hunnie :)x

[Nature's heartbeat]

Thanks sweetie. You're such a loving person...and I'm grateful that I've crossed paths with you. I know that you talk to me and others if you can, and what you say about people is true...

I know both what it's like to be left and to leave people (and neither has been pleasant for me). I also know that having been left/the equivalent by people who were closest to me, has made it easier for me to leave, and more difficult to trust, and it has contributed to me having more demands on people...making it more difficult to consider a person a friend and to trust someone or rather making me more choosy on whom to trust...I've tried spreading things out on different people in order not to feel too dependent on a few and feel hurt when they're not around...that didn't do it for me...and so, I figure that it's still good to trust a few, who have been proven themselves to be trustworthy and who show that they want to have me in their lives by keeping in touch and maybe even showing affection if they feel like it...At times I have wondered if maybe people don't know/realize just how much they mean to me, and so, I try to show it more and express affection more because of it (I hate being taken for granted and so I try not to take others for granted and show affection even though this might annoy some). I just figure that since you can't really know how long a person will be around for, it's better to - in case it is people you care about - make sure that they at least know it and feel appreciated...

Oh, and now I'm pondering on the person's response to my 'Thanks for caring, I take your advice to heart. Best Wishes.'...He wrote something like: "Try God cares..."

[k2hsharpe]

"Oh, and now I'm pondering on the person's response to my 'Thanks for caring, I take your advice to heart. Best Wishes.'...He wrote something like: "Try God cares...""

taken out of context - all i can day is ...
*ouch*

bastet is right about you - touching lives with you can only enrich us
but not all of us can be as giving as you are
some of us are flawed in ways that makes that hard
not because we don't care but because we get distracted
(often by things that time shows us was unimportant anyways)
i know sometimes i have trouble engaging fully with life
or tire of being me
or simply am unable to respond to a friend in a way the seems meaningful to me, so i don't and become a little embarressed by my tardiness elongating into negligence, and thus avoid engaging even more

i suspect it is always hard when giving people befriend those of us who are less capable of giving. I can only say ... never doubt yourself, never doubt your worth to the world, cos it is no small thing to have our lives touched by yours
: -)

[Nature's heartbeat]

Awww, you too!!!!!!!! My heart is becoming a puddle...(but apparently it can take different shapes and be put back in place with a smile playing and spreading through my blood vessels...that sounded a bit imaginative, but I like how it sounds and that there is an emotion that goes with it...:))

k2, I agree on the ouch...both to what I wrote (which does seem cold and formal but kind of reflective of how I felt)...and the short replies...but I'm learning that it's seldom good to take something out of its context...I'm also learning that I probably need to become more tolerant to that people may not have the chance or want to talk as much as I do...Guess that's part of being alive...

Thank you both...I feel blessed and happy that you've crossed my path (or if I crossed yours...or all three crossed each other's)...:)

I'm resting my heels on the bed, whilst sitting on a chair with my back against the wall, looking at my socks with hearts and Piglet on them, eating my freshly made flat bread and thinking that it tastes pretty nice...and also how surprisingly alert I am at this hour, almost one and a half hour past midnight...even more alert than in the morning...

[Maryd.]

Nature, you are so cute... Mwah... I love the way you think...

I'm thinking why cannot feel like nature, right now.

Cute socks, by the way.

Mwah

[Nature's heartbeat]

Awww sweet Maryd., I'm thinking how lucky I am to get mwahed by such a loving soul as Maryd. <3 Mwahs back!

P.S It's never too late for socks like this. ;) Actually my mom gave them to me, and she has a similar pair herself...:) And making bread past midnight has its charm...try it...I just pour flour in a random amount - til it feels enough, and then add the random things also in random amounts...this time it was with flour, cinnamon, cocoa powder, baking soda, dried peppermint, dried thyme, oil and water...and then form balls and make them flat in the pan and fry them til they have golden spots on both sides...I feel proud that I have gotten a sense of what random amounts would be good...

[Maryd.]

Darling you can move in with me anytime you like... I love the smell of fresh bread around the house. I'm afraid if I cooked those at that time of the night the kids will gobble them down before I even get to the table. Hahahaha...

[John Ashleigh]

I'm thinking that I have an itchy foot.

[desertlizard]

[shuyun]

thinking how long it would take to finish downloading all the episodes of an old japanese taskforce series :) Hikari Sentai Maskman

[Don_Joe]

I'm thinking that the 9 lives of my cat are running out and that I feel helpless not being able to do something for him.

[John Ashleigh]

Thinking whether or not to open my last can of coke..

[Darknoir]

Thinking about the nature of consciousness. And its 1AM. Oh dear.

[John Ashleigh]

Wondering why my right eye is itching...?

[BattyOldMaid]

Am thinking why did I butter the fruit scones to go with my coffee. Can't put it back so have eat it!

[John Ashleigh]

Thinking whether or not to have another beer.

[Don_Joe]

I'm thinking why did I leave everything to the last minute...

[Darknoir]

Just thinking how great I look naked.

[bastet]

i should have sent my exs new wife (they are getting married today) a sympathy card......

[BattyOldMaid]

Haha!! Why not! My older brother shook hands with his ex boyfriend and gave an 'air of relief that someone finally took her off him'. He said her ex husband did that to him when he married her, the gesture made him feel so small!

Am thinking whether or not to have fish and chips layer on, we by the sea in porthcawl

[bastet]

*rofl* ..when they got engaged i sent her a good luck..said they would need it!
..i am not bitter !!! lol!

fish and chips fish and chips chish and fips!!

i should have sent my exs new wife (they are getting married today) a sympathy card......

[BattyOldMaid]

Haha why not! The more the merrier (Tsu being merryily merry merrier!)

Am thinking - rain, dancing on my wind screen

(not typing while driving. Typing while in school car park)

[bastet]

.......how much i have had enough..

*hugs* batty :)x

[John Ashleigh]

Thinking I need to clean the kitchen.

[Rea]

:notme2:
I'm thinking, I thought, I knew some members here, but I know, no one! :unsure: :search: :dontknow::Arrgghh:

[Darknoir]

Such is the life online :)

[Rea]

Thank you for commenting.
Life on line maybe a health hazard!
Where art thou, McDuff?
:duel:

[Shanalorm]

My name is not McDuff, but may I comment?
I am currently thinking about your discussion here, and
how it could be solved. The most important thing with
life online is that you shouldn't get too engrossed with
it. Keep living outside the computer too and you'll be
fine.

-Works for me atleast.

[Darknoir]

Completely agree with this sentiment.

[Altocumulus]

What !

There be life
off-line ....

:eek:

[mrSparckel]

im thinking about my true love, 1000 miles away and how she is slipping away

[John Ashleigh]

Thinking about my brother going to Canada.

[Rea]

I'm thinking I need a challenge?

[Dmitri]

How I should style my hair.

[John Ashleigh]

Thinking why I am so tired.

[saeity]

The run i'm going to do tomorrow-route

[Jack Aknory]

about my son going to the israeli army soon

[DaggersLover]

What's happening on sunday... :rose:

[GBG]

hoping I will be able to go to work tomorrow!

[Baywriter]

Hoping I'll have somewhere to live soon. Finding an apartment is not fun, especially when I can't help with the search because I'm stuck in another country. Uggghhh.

[John Ashleigh]

I am thinking that there is nothing to watch on the TV.

[Poppy]

MY postie must have delivered all my cards to the wrong address:D:D

Oh dear - such is life.

Poppy ~xx~

[spike]

OOpppsss this is not Spike....

[WYSIWYG]

Not often there is anything worth watching on TV.
Unlee you like advertising? :wallbash:

For the first time ever I watched Quest TV the other night.
A programme called 'how do they make that'.
So I now know how to make
Baseball bats
them things they use in curling
golf clubs
fizzy pop
glass bottles to name but a few.

The things you watch when bored.

Pops ~xx~

I actually quite like that show....:unsure:

[Poppy]

I actually quite like that show....:unsure:

Must admit I am staggered by some of the information - and how involved some of the processes are.
The only thing is they are fairly old and I wish it was British.
I like that Channels FBI investigations, and the one about the two men who buy old rental lock-ups and then sell what they find, that is amazing (I would love to do that)

Poppy ~xx~

[John Ashleigh]

Do you watch any comedies?

[WYSIWYG]

I love comedy, but good ones are few and far between these days.
Mock the week, Have I got news for you etc I watch.
But actual series are quite rare now, the latest I guess would have been
red dwarf...but absolutely not the re-hash ones :Arrgghh:

[Poppy]

Do you watch any comedies?

Caught some re-runs of rising damp, find them funny.
Not comedy but I love the Billy Connelly when he tours other Countries, he makes me laugh.
Friends, can watch that time and time again.
Little Britain

Pops ~xx~

[Ste]

I am thinking Dear Poppy should have received bags of cards today. I blame the internet, (i usually do)

:friends: from me

[WYSIWYG]

Rising Damp was excellent- Leonard Rossiter went far too early.....

Billy Connelly, I actually prefer his acting in serious roles:
'The Debt Collector' being a particular film...Don't watch if you're too sensitive!!!

Thank you so appreciated Stu.
Sometimes life is just a bummer as I sit with no one to share my lovely chocolates with (which is a real shame - not):D

Hope you faired better.
Give your Dexters a big hello from my sheepy girls.

I do like informative TV, the problem is the constant advert breaks
I just do not do adverts so immediately switch over and I become stuck
in the situation off being forced to 'turn over' every couple of minutes
so I tend to just switch off instead...

[Baywriter]

Well, I GUESS I'll go do laundry... GAH! Save me!

[Antonio]

I am boxerman.

[Stars&Pills]

I'm currently thinking about...

The wedding on Saturday! We're travelling down to Liverpool on Friday. I'm the photographer... I'm not a professional wedding photographer though, I might add, but a semi-prof wildlife photographer...

I'm feeling the pressure! I've done events before, but never a wedding.

And I have spent about 4 hours online (ebay, florists etc) looking for the perfect buttonhole/corsage with no such luck as of yet.

I was ok until they sent me the list of photographs, since then I've felt a little nervous, naturally...

[LeviHonet]

Removed - double postings.

[Ron63]

My daughhter. She's leaving tomorrow to work near Wales for five months. :cry:

[Stars&Pills]

I'm thinking...

Goat's cheese actually tastes the same as what goats smell like.

And it's putting me off my 'sundried tomato and goat's cheese ravioli'... sad times.

[faight]

Visine---my eyeballs are burning! Must be cottonwood season.
