Would you work for nothing? Posted: 8/23/2009 6:14:14 AM
This must be some kind of joke, how do they expect their employees to afford to travel to work, pay the bills, eat, keep warm for a month. Imagine starving hungry staff, unhappy, probably slept in the cold all night cause they fear turning on the heating. The staff arnt going to be very efficiant and whats going to motivate them to go to work if they have to do it for nothing yet still do all the same duties to the same standard. I have worked for nothing, iv done voluntary work in the past and enjoyed it. My reason for taking voluntary work was to gain experience in my chosen field while i was studying at college for my qualifications. I worked in a special needs school and was offered a job at the end of my voluntary contract. I also worked in an environment centre voluntary because im passionate about the environment and wanting to do my bit for it. I still help out friends of the earth from home and plan to continue to do so. There are many volunteers out there who do a fantastic job, its not about getting a pay reward but about doing something for others or something you feel passionate about helping with or as in my case to help you get experience. Most often its a foot in the door when a paid post becomes available too. But BA are out of their heads expecting staff to accept they work for nothing for a month, there has to be some back up so they can continue to afford to live and travel to work.

didgital is here! from the 17th october.. reminder.. Posted: 8/20/2009 10:10:17 AM
ok, i have an old tv, none of this flat screan nonsense or hd, its just a telly i was given back in the 90's, it still works perfectly and there is no way im going to dump it in some landfill site for a new one just because it isnt fashionable. Its a tv and i dont care. Im with virgin media for my broadband, phone and tv, i have one of those set top box things that gives me all the channels including pay per view and the rude ones. Now does this mean i need to purchase a new television? While my old one works perfectly im not prepared to do this, i will not contribute to the throw away society we have come to live in. When my tv breaks down, then i will buy a new (or secondhand, or even better, freecycle) one. If this is just another government scheme to get people to part with money so more goes into their pockets then count me out. Yes i know, im such a freakin hippy sometimes.

Good Girl? Posted: 8/20/2009 9:51:37 AM
i was in a threesome recently, the one guy kept calling me a good girl when i had two up at the same time. Does that make me good? He also commented how much of a good girl i was every time i squirted too, i must be an angel cause he said it lots of times. I drink occasionaly, i dont smoke, iv had no convictions, never had an std, i do have piercings and tattos, i have children but never been married (cause i dont belive in it, and yes they have the same father), i dont tell lies, im a vegetarian, iv got loads of qualifications, i dont do drugs (well ok tried space cake in Amsterdam, smoked a little pot and tried lsd once). I do voluntary work related to the environment, i have worked in the care industry with elderly, disabled and homeless clients, i buy local where possible and fair trade if its available. So does this get me my angel wings

If he didn't like it, would you want him to eat it anyway? Posted: 8/20/2009 9:26:49 AM
Plants are sustainable, you pick an apple, another one will grow there next year. Yes i agree Hazel, every plant, tree and flower does have a spirit, im a pagan, its part of my belief system. I eat every vegetable known to human, herbs and weeds included. As im sure your aware, you chop down a weed, within a few months its back again, its called sustainable living, its not killed, it comes back, it has roots that permit it to regrow. Seeds spread, its part of the cycle of life. If you read my post again you will see im not having a go at meat eaters, im just wondering why kittens and puppies arnt eaten when cows and chickens are. There all living creatures with nerve systems, pain receptors and the ability to feel fear. Hazel, this isnt a thread about people being thin or fat its about food. This isnt a maintaining your figure thread is it? And who mentioned exercise, got something to say, then go ahead. I can rest in the knowledge that i do not support animal cruelty. You will see if you read my posts that i do support ethical, humane and organic farming methods. Im not anti corpse cruncher totaly, just want people to understand where there food comes from, no harm in that surly and certainly no reason to attack my size Hazel, thats stooping almost as low as factory farming though dosnt make me in the least as angry or sad. Big pacific, its not that i dont have the guts to do all that, its the fact i choose not to, live with that if you can, end of! My choice is mine, yours is yours, just know the facts before you go in there and try to defend yourself.

No Redemption, No Life ? Posted: 8/20/2009 4:59:06 AM
But Macforty, a rabid dog may be dangerous to one he bites, but its a dogs natural instinct if they feel threatened to bite. Rabies can affect the mind of the animal too, therefore making it dangerous, though the fault not being of the diseased dog. In these cases the dog would need to be put to death, preventing it from causing harm to others and suffering pain itself. These people who did that to an innocent baby had every intention of causing harm. They probably enjoyed causing such pain and torture too. To put these people to death would just be getting them off the hook, let them live with the guilt that will eventualy hit them, let them suffer the mental pain that is to come, let them feel the hate from the community they are now confined to, thats if they are not killed by fellow inmates first. They do not deserve protection or support from the prison staff. What they did was pure evil, that poor baby suffered so much and recieved no help from the professionals that should have stepped in sooner. It sickens me that it happened beyond words.

Now this is what i dont understand about meat eaters Juliet, you will eat cow cause its not a 'pet', but not animals that can be kept as 'pets'. Not having a go at meat eaters here, but if your going to eat animals why are you so choosy over which ones you eat? Look a cow in the face Juliet and tell her that you will force her into a killing room, listen to her screams of fear, watch her sh!t herself in fear as she sees other cows being killed in front of her. Tell her you will slit her stomach open while just mildly sedated for all her guts to fall on the floor, strip her skin off, chop the corpse into bits then cook her and enjoy the taste. Yet you dont have the guts to do it to a cute little puppy. This is what i find so shallow about meat eaters. If your gonna eat the stuff then why be so picky about which bits of which type you eat. Im sure you wouldnt know the difference if your burger had testicles or stomach lining, once its put into that shape to fit nicely into a bun and a little seasoning added you aint got a clue what bit is what. Respect to the guy who eats termites though, i personaly wouldnt but i do respect a meat eater who isnt so disciminative.

Oh Hazel i didnt take it as an attack. I just wondered why you thought extra items were needed to be added to the food to include iron and calcium. I was just replying as there may be people out there considering going veggie who may be put off by that myth. All the food groups you need can be found in plants, thats all i wanted to say. I have no issue with people eating meat at all as long as they dont bring it in my kitchen. What i do want to raise awareness of though is the way the food gets to peoples plates, do they know the facts about health matters, cruelty issues, etc. I truly believe if a person knows all the facts then still chooses to eat it then thats their personal choice. What i do dislike is the way people bury their heads in the sand to the cruelty issues that go into producing meat in factory farms and health issues such as the antibiotics added as well as other things. As consumers we have the power to change this, force factory farms to at least go free range if not entirly organic, it would also show demand for organicly reared animals who are treated with more respect and given space to do what they were intended to do, and therefore bring down the cost so it would be affordable to everyone, therefore enabling people to make more healthy and slightly more cruelty free choices over what they consume. This is why i want to raise peoples awareness, not for my benefit but for the welfare of themselves as well as the animals.

Hazel, you dont have to add anything. You can get plenty of iron and calcium from plant bassed foods. I never add anything different to what i enjoy eating. What do you think i need to add to my food? Iv been veggie since the age of 14, never been deficiant in anything, apart from iron during pregnancy cause the baby was nicking it all. Not had a problem since though. Whats wrong with pumpkin? The way i cook it most are surprised to find out its a pumpkin anyway.

Petrol emissions & the environment Posted: 8/19/2009 4:52:43 AM
you can convert your car to veg oil, cut down on small trips - say if you can walk it in 30 mins then leave the car and walk, maybe cycle. Its not just about cutting down on petrol use. There are other ways we can help the planet. Recycle waste, switch off electrical equpment from the mains rather than leave it on stand by. Try buying produce that has traveled less miles, if possible buy localy grown produce. Fly less, stop using plastic carrier bags, cut down on meat and dairy consumption, grow your own food if you have the space in your garden/on the balcony, avoid the use of chemical products as much as possible etc. All helps, though if you really want to make a difference do all of the above plus raise awareness, boycot companies that contribute to pollution and destruction of the forest. As a consumer you have the power to change companies attitudes, use it. campaign, raise your children to take better care for their environment and take responsibility, join a local campaigning group, do some voluntary work for a green organisation even if its just helping on stalls, clerical work, donations, helping to run their websites etc. There are lots of ways to get involved. Try your local friends of the earth group, maybe the world development association, oxfam, maybe you have a local environment centre. Iv helped out at places like this and not only enjoyed it, made friends but also learnt a lot.

Well as a veggie/vegan i can say iv always been complimented on what iv cooked for a man, partner, friend etc. Heres a few samples for those who respond with vegetarian, ewwww what do you eat. And a tip for the ladies doing the cooking, always add lots of foods containing zinc to the meal (pumpkin seeds are the best for this) as they have aphrodisiac qualities. . Vegan sushi with vegetable tempura and dips served with deep fried seaweed or a salad . Veggie lasagne/pasta bake or spag bol . Spicy bean and nut casserole with cous cous . veggie chilli or curry with rice . My special home made pizza with a mountain of toppings . My special salad which is not your usual lettuce and tomoato, no way, it contains all kinds of different exotic veggies, nuts and seeds and kelp. . Pumpkin soup with fresh mediteranian spicy bread . Cauliflower sheeze bake (yes sheeze, its a vegan cheese, very spicy) and i add lots of seeds on the top to make a nice crunchy crust. . My special chinese stir fry with tofu, chunky vegetables and black bean sauce. . Stuffed peppers or giant mushrooms or marrow or those huge beeftomatos or aubugines. . nut roast with all the trimmings . Spicy roast veg medly . Garlic and tomato butter bean salad, fresh bread and herb pate. . Veggie sweet and sour with noodles . veggie toad in the hole with all the trimmings and herb stuffing balls Ah the list is endless. I always have a good wine to go with it and desert is something very special often involving melted dark chocolate, maple syrup and tofu ice cream and if hes lucky enough to be invited to stay for breakfast hes in for a very special treat. I do an amazing veggie bbq and my picnics always leave people more than satisfied. No boring cheese and onion sandwiches in my veggie picnics.

I would never expect anyone to eat something they didnt like, same as i wouldnt eat anything i didnt like. I went for dinner with a guy once, he knew i was vegetarian. The starter was melon, its the only fruit im really not keen on. I did eat a little of the melon though did tell him it was the least favorite of all the fruits id ever eaten. Second came the main course a lovely salad with some kind of sea slug. Now he knew i was a very strict vegetarian though he thought it would be ok to serve sea food. Well i was polite enough to pick at the salad, though he really should have done his research and realised a strict veggie wouldnt touch sea food - i just put it down to ignorance when he tried to convince me these little creatures didnt feel no pain. I still refused to eat them end of. The desert was ice cream, yeah you guessed it, vanilla YAWN! Wine was ok though. I would always make sure i was cooking something that would be enjoyed by both of us, and yes i dont care if hes a corpse cruncher or not, i wouldnt ever cook dead animals for any man. No dead flesh in my kitchen thank you very much. Its a veggie zone and there are many good veggie meals to choose from, maybe even surprise him with. oh and i always check before hand if he has any allergies.

Would you do any job rather than be unemployed? Posted: 8/18/2009 9:50:23 AM
Thats rather rude pinkbow. I have worked extremely hard to get the qualifications and experience i hold today, and iv taken some rather shitty jobs to get through it. Iv worked with violent teenagers who have been abusive, thrown things at me and said things i couldnt repeat on here. Iv cleaned up blood and sh!t, not complaining but yeah iv done it, someone has to right. Iv also cared deeply for the people iv worked with and gone home many nights in floods of tears after a day of seeing the suffering they live with. And yes i got paid for it too. There was a time when i was out of work, so used the time to gain more qualifications which paid off eventualy, learning to speak Urdu got me extra bonus payment when i worked in a nursery school of a mainly Muslim area where a lot of parents and grand parents didnt speak much English. I learnt to say a few words to them, they felt good that i took the time to learn how to and i got paid a little bonus for doing so, all happy. I do have extremely high morals. I care deeply about the planet/the environment and campaign (with a voluntary group i work with) against what they are doing to our Earth. I care deeply about the lives of animals, humans too sometimes and cannot stand by and watch cruelty in any form. No a research lab isnt community minded enough at all, and i dont wish to start a debate on animal testing for medicine, that would take another thread which i am not prepared to start here. Everyone is entitled to their personal beliefs, so errrrmm putting it politly UP YOURS! Oh and just another note, id never work for any military organisation either. Each to our own ok. No need to be so rude about my personal beliefs or choices. As someone else here has already mentioned, you are allowed to do voluntary work while in receipt of benefits, so no one will starve Pinkbow, besides im nice the size i am.

Would you do any job rather than be unemployed? Posted: 8/18/2009 4:02:30 AM
I understand what your saying and yes a job is the best situation. But can i just ask if anyone here has ever been in a job they totaly hate so much it makes their lives miserable? I have very high morals, there are a few jobs i would totaly refuse to do. I would never work in an environment that supported cruelty to animals in any way and i would refuse to take a job in a food preperation/serving environment where i would be asked to handle meat products. I could never take any job be it clerical or manual in an environment that experimented on animals such as a lab or research centre. And finaly i would have issues working for any organisation that was environmentaly unethical. So, if i had the choice of being unemployed or working as a receptionist in a research lab, then id go and do some voluntary work, doing some good for the community till a suitable job came up for me. Id rather work for nothing than go against my personal beliefs and support something i knew unethical.

Crime. Countryside Vs The Town could parenting be at fault?. Posted: 8/17/2009 8:18:09 AM
I agree with you sjxx. Iv lived in the City, yes there was a lot of crime, there were lots of high rise flats, housing estates that saw a lot of vandalism, graffiti, no one seemed to have any pride in where they lived, the local park was destroyed by vandals, even the play equpment got nicked some of the time. Yardy gangs were about the place and there had been some gun crime on the streets near to where i lived. Car crime was one of the worst problems and on the road i lived there had been a few accidents, one including a young lad who stole a motorbike and died when he crashed into the lamp post outside our house. We would get gangs of drunks standing around mourning him, it went on for about a year after the incident. There was very little open space, kids would play on the local estate, they would have plenty of burnt out cars to climb on, lots of wall space to decorate on the side of high rise flats and shopping trolleys to ride in. Many accidents as you can imagine. Kids were extremely rude too if you asked them not to place fireworks under your car on your drive, though of course fireworks were sold all year round, not just November which made them more accesible. Where i live now things are slightly different. Lots of open space for kids to play in, not so many parks with play equipment to steel or burn but they do like setting fire to trees and hedges now and then. No yardy gangs but still gun crime happens, in fact because its the countryside there are more gun shops so guns are more accesible. Lots of graffiti about though no high rises to decorate, just grave stones. In fact the local cemetary is such a mess from being vandalised, i find it really sad, as some of those graves date back to the 1200's. Thats a lot of history totaly disrespected there. We dont have so much car crime it seems, maybe less roads to drive on or less cars to nick im not sure. Alchol and drug abuse is just as rife as it is in the city, burgulary too, though of course less houses than the city had. Is it down to parenting? I think not, we have just as many chav families and asbos here. I have worked in behaviour units in the city and over here, i find the kids attitudes here so much more relaxed and there slightly less rude, not at all streetwise iv noticed. In fact a little behind in many senses to the rest of the uk, of course an odd few tyring to catch up but no where as hard or dangerous as the kids i worked with in the city. In fact i never felt half as threatened by the kids here as i did working with the ones in the city. Im not sure what it is, maybe the fact there is more open space, less concrete entrapping people, but no certainly not parenting as there are good ones and bad ones in all areas. I do believe environment has a huge impact.

antibiotics... Posted: 8/17/2009 7:51:18 AM
I just mentioned that one Silver but im not sure anyone has seen it or isnt interested, oh well. By the way yes summer, iv seen mums at the school gate waving their prescriptions, 'little Brittiny (there all called that now) has another cold, shes always on penicilian'. My kids have hardly ever needed anti biotics, i cant even think if my daughter (10) has ever had them at all, my son (13) i cant remember him having them, maybe once or twice for an ear infection. Anyway, both vegetarian and breast fed till they were about 7-8 months and from non smoking homes. Hardly ever off school ill, in fact apart from a bumped knee (a really bad bump) and a tooth extraction my daughter hasnt lost any sick days. My son hardly ever off school sick either . Compared to their peers who seem to loose loads of time off sick with every illness going round.

Brits, a nation of complainers.............but? Posted: 8/17/2009 7:41:12 AM
We do take to the streets NuDig. Iv been involved in my fair share of protests regarding environmental issues, sometimes we get heard, other times we get ignored. I also had training on how to lobby mp's which was very useful when complaining about government/council and environmental issues. Iv even been on the news. I sure dont keep my complaints in any closet.

Well of course Pauline, they have a right to complain just like every other individual on this Earth. I was using it as an example that its not just British people that complain about their lot, its a human thing and i wish people wouldnt sterotype thats all. Ops! how stupid of me, English girls with red hair and brown eyes have nothing else to do on Sunday afternoons so they always press the send button twice stupid stupid stupid! No Italian brunette would do that ill bet. OP do people really say 'sodding weather' lol!

I demand everybody here to SMILE Posted: 8/16/2009 5:01:18 AM
I totaly agree with you CK. I tried to post a nice thread the other day but it disappeared for some reason. Basicly i just wanted everyone to post something that had made them smile during the day, something that didnt cost much, just some everyday thing that made them feel all warm and fuzzy inside but no one seemed to want to and my thread didnt make it to the forum. I try to find something in every day that makes me feel good. I note it in my diary to remind me at the end of the day. The other day i gave a man directions into a building, a few minutes later he followed me into a shop to thank me. He didnt speak much English, but made the effort to find me thank me and it made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Yesterday my daughter had her friend round, they were playing a game which i joined in and we all had such a laugh over something rather silly. The day before yesterday i was sitting on the beach and in the sand dunes behind me i could hear birds flapping about, love the sound of their wings as they were darting and playing in the grasses, that made me smile. We should all smile more and find something nice in every day.

I dont think its just British people that complain when things go wrong, in fact im sure people in general have something to say about a service if its not up to standard, will complain if there too cold or too hot etc. Im sure every language in the world has a word for 'not good enough' and we all know that F U C K is international, wouldnt use it for saying what a lovely F U C King sunny day it is or how beautiful this F U C King rose smells right? Even people in developing and war torn countries are interviewd on the news telling us of their dreadful time, how they are now homeless, how the authorities arnt helping, there hardly telling us how lovely life is are they. Please dont generalise its just British that complain cause it isnt. Oh and in reply to your question, yes i always go out of my way to thank someone for doing a good job, providing a suitable service, doing me a favour, going out of their way to help etc. If a meal is good i pass on my thanks to the cheif, if a shop assistant has gone out of their way to find me what i want i thank them, if a holiday is excellent then i give them a good review etc. I think i give as much thanks and praise for good service as i do complaints for the bad. We as humans though do seem to like to talk about our negative experiences more than our positive ones, strange isnt it. What does annoy me though is those who moan constantly amongst themselves then when a memeber of staff/management etc asks them if there ok they just smile and say yes lovely thank you. Why cant people be more honest, complain properly through the proper channels rather than sit whinging about bad service and letting others go through the same thing.

antibiotics... Posted: 8/16/2009 4:20:40 AM
You need to take the whole course to ensure they finish the job off properly. I rarely need antibiotics cause im generaly in good health, must have a good immune system i guess. But for those who are prescribed them too often, there is a danger of building up an immunity to antibiotics. Another reason so many people build up immunity to them is because they are already in the food chain (of meat eaters). Factory farmed animals are given anti biotics as a preventative measure to stop them from getting ill and the farmer loosing money. The animals are kept in dirty conditions, over cramped and disease is rife in those small contained areas they are kept in, so aniti biotics in their feed helps keep the production going. It also enters the body of the consumer. Its a way of farmers, the drug companies and the government making more money, your health dosnt matter to them. Its one of the reasons i gave up meat at the age of 14.

USA Right Attacks British NHS as Death Panels For Old Posted: 8/14/2009 2:11:40 PM
Well my experience of the nhs hasnt been so bad, i had two wonderful children delivered safely enough under that system and the staff were brilliant. Sadly the hospital was disgusting, the room i was given after giving birth was in need of a clean so badly i had to use the bathroom in the next ward. There was blood everywhere in the en suite i was given and no one had cleaned up before i was allocated the room. There was no room on the wards, they were full and some women were left in the delivery rooms or side wards till a bed became free. The next morning i didnt see another member of staff till about 10.00 when i was on my way to the bathroom, a nurse asked who i was as no one knew the private room was occupied by me and my baby daughter. No idea how long i would have been there if id not been seen. Good job i wasnt a new mother or ill. Recently i was in hospital following an accident. A different hospital this time, i was again disgusted at the standard of cleaning, or lack of it. The staff were so rude and in such a hurry that they had no time to explain after care to me and one even argued with me about it. I was put in a bed next to an elderly lady with alzhimers who constantly shouted at me all night, kept calling me debbie and telling me to fetch her this and that. I was so ill i couldnt move yet had to deal with this lady and no one came to help her or stop her from harrassing me. The food was appauling, i had mashed potato as it was the only vegetarian option available. Soya milk had to be ordered a week in advance so i couldnt even enjoy a cup of tea or have cereal for breakfast, all the offered was toast with butter (non vegan) in fact i had to explain to a nurse what a vegan was, two of them didnt know. Because of my injuries i had to have mashed food, so mashed potato was the only option for every meal. I could hardly speak let alone eat or drink. This was never taken into consideration at meal times and when i did mention it to the nurse that i couldnt eat certain foods due to my injuries she went off in such a huff. When my friend was in hospital dying from cancer, he was left ages each day without the staff updating him on his blood counts, he was buzzing them and they never answered and the food was so bad i had to take him food in daily. Wards are noisy, dirty and over heated, most uncomfortable. Staff are stressed out and have little time for paitents needs. I had hardly any rest when i had to stay in, at 6 in the morning the tv was switched on as loud as it could go, all the lights full on, someone with a dirty mop banging my bed and all i wanted to do was sleep after having a night of the old lady shouting DEEEBBBBIIIIEEEEE at me and getting agressive when i didnt reply. Twice i went to use the bathroom to find a paitent sitting on the toilet as there were no locks on the doors. The shower had no curtain, but i was so desperate for a shower i used it anyway, water everywhere which could have been dangerous but no one took any notice when i mentioned it so i just carried on. A few years ago when my ex's mum was ill we were visiting, my son needed to use the toilet, i took him only to find it so filthy i asked the nurse to find him somewhere clean (he was about 3 at the time). the nurse did agree it was bad and let him use the staff toilets. How can people get well in this kind of environment? When people are ill they need nutritious food, comfort and peace so they can rest and recover with friendly staff to reasure them they will be getting proper treatment and hygyine should be of extreme importance. I recently went to my gp with an ongoing complaint, he sent me away with a website address as there were not enough therapists to refer me to, all exercises can be found on here he said and sent me home.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach entrance fee. Posted: 8/14/2009 11:28:52 AM
Ah the fun house, i remember that kind of barrel you sat in and it spun round so fast you stuck to the side, it didnt give you chance to get up before it started again and there would be vomit in the centre of the ride. I remember trying to get up and was so dizzy i fell back down and went round another 3 times, was only when someone threw up i was determined to pull myself out before it went again. I also remember getting stuck on that Noahs ark ride and the guy had to come and get us out, about 5 of us, all 10 year olds crying cause the lights all went out and the things stopped moving, we thought the ride was going to colapse or something. Iv heard its a really spooky walk through ride now with some crazy exorcist scene that someone from work told me was terrifying. Im getting all my Blackpool happy memories coming back to me with this thread, thanks OP there were some fun ones to look back on.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach entrance fee. Posted: 8/14/2009 6:40:55 AM
I have fond memories of Blackpool. I remember trips there with the school and every year my mum would take me to see the illuminations. I think the rides back then were between 50p and £1, £2 for the big ones like the grand national and big dipper. Do they still have that laughing thing in the pleasure beach that never stops laughing? I remember the most tackiest of gift shops where my mum bought my dad a mug with a naked woman on the front whos tits would bounce as he picked up the cup. Those donkey's on the beach, are they still there? So cruel, poor old things. Last time i went to Blackpool was for a dirty weekend when i was about 21, stayed in one of those bnb's near the tram station, was so noisy we didnt get any sleep, not that we planned any. We took an early morning walk on the beach and there was some kind of sand (probably sewerage) that when we stepped in it we ended up waist deep in this horrible orange sandy mud stuff, just under the pier it was. I remember having to take my tights off and chuck them away cause they were covered in mud. Not the place for a romantic weekend away is it. Do they still have that seaside organ thing playing old tunes on the seafront, i always wished that thing would break down, i hate seaside organ music. I imagine Blackpool to be the chav capitol of the UK these days, dont think ill be going there again, nice memories though.

Sex with the lights off? Posted: 8/13/2009 12:57:36 PM
sometimes having sex in pitch black darkness can force you to use your other senses more, this can make it more exciting and depending on where you do the act a little more risky. For example have you ever tried it in the woods at night on a dark moon? No light at all, you have to use your other senses and who knows who else is around, makes it rather exciting. Then its also nice in broad daylight too. Nothing like a good morning session with the sun blazing through the window. I personaly like a bit of it all, candle light can be romantic, darkness can be very very sexy, daylight can be energetic, all should be explored and enjoyed to the max.

Personal Happiness. Posted: 8/13/2009 11:21:44 AM
Im happiest when im out in the wilds, amongst nature maybe walking in the woods or along a coastal path really feeling im connecting with the Earth, feeling the elements around me and enjoying the peace. Im happy when im with positive thinking people. Shallow, miserable, argumentative types just bring me down and i try to avoid them. I feel very empathic and can pick up on other peoples energies too easily. As a nation i dont see people happier, in fact people seem to be more wanting than ever before, they just want all the time, not need but want. Their want makes them greedy and the greed tends to make them unhappy as they get into debt, feel failiures, get put under pressure with work issues to earn more money to feed their greed. People seem more stressed than ever before, less trusting of each other and the cases of depression in all age groups are rising all the time. People seem more driven by materialism than ever before. Materialistic items could never make me happy. Seeing so much materialism in the world makes me sad, seeing so much damage to our environment makes me sad, i wish people would respect the planet we call home more, chill a little and take time to see such beauty that is naturaly available and get pleasure from it as i do. Reading replies here it seems so many take their personal happiness from material things, having enough money and from other people including their children or relationships. What about you people? What about YOUR happiness, not your childrens or your relationships, look at yourselves. Remember happy parents make good parents, unhappy ones dont. Happy relationships are better than no relationships. Think about yourselves but on a more spiritual basis, a more natural Earth bassed way, then include others.

when were old Posted: 8/13/2009 10:50:06 AM
Some really interesting replies, thank you to everyone who made the effort. I think the conclusion must be, we all grow 'old' at different rates. To some 60 is old, i personaly dont think it is. To some 80 is old, and to others beyond that. I dont want to ever stop discovering new music, tasting new food, seeing new works of art, reading new authors works, finding new ways to solve problems, meeting people of different cultures/faiths and learning more about them. I dont want to get stuck in time i want to continue to move forward with it. As for fashions, well iv never followed fashion, bit of an alternative/hippy style i often create for myself in the hope no one else copies my look. I wish everyone happiness in the aging process, though i do wish older people would be more accepting of differences in people and stop moaning. I did work in a nursing home once. I hated the way the staff treated the older people. Silver surfer, yes i did take time to sit and chat with the residents, i loved hearing their stories of life but i got told i wasnt allowed to do that, i was told i had to be seen working, not wasting time sitting talking to them. So i would carry a little set of nail clippers and a file in my nurses dress pocket and if i saw someone in need of a chat id do their nails even if they didnt need doing at all. I looked like i was working, i was learning from their experience and listening to them as they talked, all good. But the people on that holiday recently were another story. Im talking very angry, miserable elderly people who loved a good moan at everything it seemed. Bad example maybe, then again my mum is like it too. Were all different i guess. If i ever end up in an old peoples home, i hope they let me listen to all the latest indie/ambient/alternative/trance music i want to listen to. I also want the cutest male nurses and a new veggie dish to try daily and if anyone tries to make me wear slippers i will tear their eyes out.

Gypsy, im certainly not taring anyone as you put it (how do you tar someone with a brush anyway) but just going by recent experience. I must add that i have met one or two older people who have been different to those i met on the holiday, the sad thing is these one or two iv known have been the minority. I just hope i will still have an open mind to want to try new things in life, i dont want to be like my mum who tells me shes too old to be bothered with learning something new or trying something out of the ordianry. I personaly will want to be learning still, experiencing new things, discovering something different as often as possible. I guess my biggest fear is being boxed in and labeled as too old. Imagine being in a nursing home where they play dreadful 80's music constantly and insist you watch soaps. Loosing independance is a very frightening thing. One lady on this holiday was telling me how she wasnt enjoying herself because she had too much weight to be able to walk to the sea front, yet she had seconds every meal time and a full fried breakfast every morning, in fact she was the one who complained about bean soup and what a silly idea it was. Getting old isnt the scary bit, loosing independance and loosing the desire to learn is.

will we look, feel and behave like elderly do people today? Do we reach a certain age then decide we have to have short curly grey/white hair? Do we suddenly start listening to music way before we were born or maybe just lose the ability to have good taste in music? I went on a holiday recently and stayed at a hotel where most of the people were rather old. The older ladies all seemed to have short hair, grey/white and most of them had it permed. Im talking older ladies from 60 up to about 90. They all seemed to listen to the same music and their partners would be sitting there tapping their feet while the old ladies clapped in time to anything from the birdie song to some really depressing country stuff id never heard of and old time dancing music. They all seemed to dress the same too, iv no idea where people buy those kind of clothes from these days, but old peoples fashion shops must exist cause all these old ladies were dressed in the same kind of way, and where do they get those big glasses from? Even when it came down to food choice they seemed less adventerous. I heard one complaining about this new fangled forign muck - 3 bean soup, they were all laughing saying 'you cant have beans in soup, soup is chicken or oxtail, maybe tomato if your feeling a bit adventerous' and giving the waitress a really hard time over it. Of course when they saw me and my daughter having vegetarian options from the menu they were all looking at us like we were little green men from Mars. What will we be like when were old. Will we still keep our individualism, imagine sitting in the old folks home tapping ya feet to the foo fighters, keeping long hair, having it coloured, wearing jeans and t shirts rather than trousers pulled up to the nipples for men and knee lenght floral print, elasticated, skirts for ladies with pink t shirts, ordering Indian, Chinese, Italian or Greek food rather than wanting traditional English food, playing pc games rather than bingo, asking the nurse to change your eyebrow piercing cause your rels are visiting. I do hope so, i dont want to be like those old people at that hotel, they scared me'.

What's Wrong With Country Music? Posted: 8/9/2009 7:59:31 AM
I used to date a country and western lover, omg the music was so depressing. As already mentioned dead dogs gone to heaven, some bloke in a wheelchair watching his wife get all dressed up to go out on the pull, people getting shot, being sent to prison, wheels falling of carts - pretty dangerous that. But what really annoys me about country and western, or even just country is the way they try to do that whinny voice as if they all came from the deep south. As for Jonnh Cash his voice was dreadful, he seemed to sing in the constant same tone (my parents were fans) there was no passion in his voice. Same with Elvis, i believe he did some country stuff, again so over rated and all very much the same chords, same tone, no bass - yeah wheres the bass in country? Its certainly not used to its full potential and i must admit the sound of a steel guitar is similar to one scraping their fingernails on a chalk board. My mum is a lover of country, have to laugh, she says radiohead are depressing yet she sings along with Crystal Gale about some bloke cheatin on her and breaking her heart, and even worse its got no bass. OP may i add a little about the family values. I took my 13 year old son to see Radiohead last year, im 42 and i met up with my neighbour who is 22 and i walked down to the gig with two older guys both in their 60's who i got chatting to on the train. Music is for all generations whatever the genre.

is single sex better than married sex? Posted: 8/9/2009 7:43:27 AM
Well i dont know, iv never been married and wouldnt want to be. I was with a guy for 14 years, i found him rather dull after the first 6 months sexualy, he lacked imagination and i dont believe i was ever in love with him, not that i have to be in love with everyone i have sex with, but there has to be a loving connection which is different from being in love with them. I must admit though, since i broke off the relationship of 14 years i have had the most amazing sex of my life. I dont think it would have made any difference if id have been married to any of these guys or not (ops that makes it sound like there have been loads, there was only 4 men and one woman, not all at the same time, well not all the time OMG! EIKS, gonna get all the pervs mailing me now). But yeah i think im trying to say, sex is amazing if your with the right one and will stay amazing or better still get more amazing as you discover and experiment more as you go along, but if it aint the right one then it will just be the usual run of the mill YAWN YAWN kind of whip it in, whip it out and wipe it on me nightie. Make sure you try before you buy and that hes up for a bit of experimental fun before you commit yourself. From experience though, i did have sex with a married man a few times and that was absolutly brilliant. And with that i think iv said too much

Full English versus Sunday Roast Posted: 8/9/2009 7:30:49 AM
Maybe that would be nice doing the family thing, never had that which is maybe why i dont do sunday dinner, sunday full English breakfast or Sunday lie in. Besides im a veggie so it would be the alternative Sunday to the traditional if i did it i guess. Iv had ex's who do the family Sunday and xmas things, iv always felt uncomfortable being invited to that kind of family thing though, just feels wierd.

Full English versus Sunday Roast Posted: 8/9/2009 3:53:06 AM
Do people still do this on Sundays? Iv never understood why it has to be done on a sunday, surly if you want a roast dinner you can do it any day cant you? Breakfast too if you get up early enough. What is it about Sundays people seem to regard as different. Why is it still called Sunday dinner when people dont seem to ever refer to Thursday dinner, a Monday lie in, a Wednesday roast. My mum couldnt believe it when she came to stay and i told her i was making a stir fry for dinner that evening, "STIR FRY FER SUNDEE DINNA" (shes brummie) she said, i told her to pretend it was Friday and stop whinging. Do people here still do that traditional thing, and why Sunday?

Neuro-linguistic programming Posted: 8/9/2009 3:20:32 AM
A friend of mine who is a pracitioner in NLP helped me when i was going through a really bad time following a rather nasty, abusive break up. He taught me to use some really basic techniques of NLP which worked wonders. So from experience id say yes, its a brilliant way of enabling you to see things in a totaly different light and make the changes you need to that will help enhance your life. May i add, my friend helped me totaly free of charge, there is no way i could afford to book sessions. He helped me because he wanted to.

Broken Britain!!!!.......Can we fix it ? Posted: 8/8/2009 8:09:41 AM
Yeah lets take it back a few hundred years to the times when children were forced to sweep chimneys for the weathy, how about a few work houses for the unemployed, maybe bring back public exicution for every child that steals food when there hungry, education only for the wealthy, maybe get rid of this nhs and go back to the old system where if your ill you suffer and die unless you can pay for it, tough sh!t. How about beheading outside the local primark for those caught shoplifting, maybe stoning for women that stray from the husbands, how about those homes for unmaried mothers run by nuns who whip the young mothers, sell their babies and force the residents to live in cold dirty dorms. Maybe we could take to hunting down those who refuse to conform to christianity, burn them perhaps. Yeah the good ol days right.

The bizarre and fetish scene Posted: 8/8/2009 7:57:44 AM
its not about fashion, a lot of the clubs go nude. Techno, no guy whos into fetish should be using it as an excuse to force anyone into anything, to me that guy just sounds like a total pedo, which are not acceptable on the fetish scene and not welcomed either. I think you will find that the rules are everyone has to agree, its adult humans in agreement or get out. People like him give those who enjoy the scene safely a bad name.

So how can we make it easier for single moms to date? Posted: 8/8/2009 3:59:28 AM
Last thing i want to talk about on a date is my kids. Im out to enjoy myself, forget im a mum for a while and just be me. I would never tell a date my kids come first either because as much as i love them i come first, a happy mum is a good mum, an unhappy mum isnt. I put them high on my list but i also need freedom and when i get that little bit of freedom to go on a date, go on a weekend away, a night out i really dont want to be talking about my kids at all. I must admit, i find it a bit freaky if a guy starts asking questions about my kids and would really prefer not to give much away in the early stages. I like to keep my personal life and my mumsy life seperate.

How many dating sites are you on-what's your fave? Posted: 8/8/2009 3:43:31 AM
I think im probably on all the free ones Well im here, but not found many guys i have much in common with. OK Cupid is a free one, not too bad, met two off their but there also on here so yeah, see above. I was on veggie romance for a while but my ex joined so i deleted myself. Passions is a good one though not many people seem to know about it. Its a friendship and dating site where you join groups where you will most likely find people you have things in common with, im on a few groups there - red head passions, nudist passions, goth passions, veggie passions, vegan passions, wiccan passions and green passions (thats an environmental group for those who dont know what green might refer to). Only problem with the passions groups is that most members seem to be in the US. I joined one called Earth wise singles, had a free week with them and there seemed lots of people there i could happily get along with, but after the free week you have to pay just to see whos messaged you. Match seems the same and i dont want to pay just to find out iv been messaged by a load of unsuitables writing messages like hi hun fancy a shag by some shaven headded, meat eater in an army uniform pictured with a gun lol. Though highly unlikey on Earthwise cause there all hippy types like me, not sure if i should pay up to find out though.

The bizarre and fetish scene Posted: 8/8/2009 3:13:29 AM
I feel that many of the replies from folk here answer the question asking 'are people held back sexually because they fear what others think'. I find it sad that sex is such a taboo subject in society, for years women in particular have been persuaded or influenced by the powers that be (most often relating to religion) to be the ones who dislike sex, find it a chore. I remember listening to women my mums age, now and then the subject would pop up and they all seemed to treat it as a joke or something they had to do because they were in a relationship. I remember my mum having one friend who talked openly in the group about rather liking the act, she was looked at as a bit of a slut, laughed at and gossiped about. Times have changed a lot, but there still seems to be a bit of a tabbo when it comes to enjoying sexual acts that are a little out of the ordinary to some. I personaly find it a huge turn on if i met a guy who is interested in living out his fantasies or experimenting with fettish with me and have in the past enjoyed being with guys who are open minded enough to want to experiment. I did have a relationship once with a guy who regularly attended such clubs and also dated someone who was into fetish play and bi. I can honestly say it was good, im talking good. I would find it a huge turn off if a guy was not willing to experiment, just dont think i could ever go back to dating a total vanilla these days, iv been spoilt. I was chatting with a guy for a while, we met up, got on in every way then one day i mentioned i liked a bit of bdsm, he freaked and i never heard from him again, shame cause he was rather hot. Trust is a huge factor though. I dont believe it is something to rush into in a relationship. You need to find the right person to share the experience with. I also find it sad that some here seem to think its all about dressing up in pvc and having sex with total strangers, its not like that at all. All i can say is dont knock it till ya tried it. As far as im concerned providing its consentual between adult humans, no one gets hurt, every one agrees beforehand then all is good. I do draw the line at electric shocks, they really scare me and i prefer lace to pvc.

Why are people closing posts with Namaste? Posted: 8/1/2009 7:53:48 AM
Having studied spoken Urdu i can confirm that Namaste is a Hindi greeting, it is used when Hindus meet or part. I had a yoga instructor who would always open and close the session with this word. He did know the meaning and would explain to new comers to his class what it was and why it was said. The form of yoga he taught was from that part of the world, therefore he used it in his classes. I did date a guy once, one of those fake hippy types. He would sometimes go off to do some yoga by himself, always thought he was better than me so didnt want us to practise together (truth is i could do the splits and touch my toes, he couldnt hehehe). He would shout in a deep loud voice so i could hear him NAMASTE! before he began and when he had finished. One day he asked me what it ment, i found that quite funny, he had been using the word all this time and had no idea what it ment. I wish now id have told him it ment im a noob so kick me. He stopped doing it when i laughed at him for his ignorance of using a word he didnt understand. The only time i use Namaste is when im greeting a Hindu person, i have no other need to use the word.

Well im not a perfectionist at all but i would love a partner who was - open minded sensual arty/creative good communicator nature loving spiritual And as an added bonus id like him to have long hair and be vegetarian, but will accept all the above without the bonus's.

So why are you single? Posted: 8/1/2009 7:23:22 AM
Im single by choice. I have been in a few relationships since seperating from my long term partner but they havnt been right so they ended. First one was a control freak, bit of a bully at times in fact so i told him i wasnt going to be treated that way any longer and we split up, it was hard cause i did like him a lot and we did have a lot in common (apart from him constantly thinking he was better than me). Second one i liked a lot but he was married, so that ended for that reason. So here i am single again. I guess im rather fussy too. Being a bit of an alternative hippy type its difficult to find someone on the same wavelength kind of thing. My long term ex just constantly took the piss out of my beliefs such as environmentalism, being veggie, having anti war beliefs, being non materialistic, my unusual music taste, my love of abstract art and being a witch. I dont want to be taken the piss out of all the time. I want someone i can share times with, communicate with, not be made to feel like a freak because i dont go with the sheep. I want someone who accepts me and my funny little ways, better still shares them all the way. My thoughts are 'being in a bad relationship which makes you unhappy is hell of a lot worse than not being in a relationship at all'. So i choose to stay single until someone can prove to me otherwise.

Wind turbines?I Posted: 7/31/2009 8:32:07 AM
OMG! Wind turbines a waste WTF! You are all so freakin ignorant here. Im sure you would rather have good ol fossile fuels but one day were gonna run out, i guess you all believe nuclear is the best option as apposed to working alongside nature to provide energy to our planet. Think about it, wind is free, solar power is free, tidal power too, creates no waste either and is no target for bombing should war break out, all we have to do is get on with finding a way to install wind, solar and water energy quickly in a cost affective way. But of course once we find that alternative to oil there will be less to go to war over and that wouldnt be profitable now would it. Wind power can be used affectivly, the elements can provide us with safer alternatives. As for turbines being out of action (still) they do have to shut down for servicing occasionaly, though the power is still being stored, it dosnt mean they are not gererating power because they are switched off for a short time.

Hmmmmm!

I didnt say no woman should be skinny, read again and open your narrow little mind mr army man. Individualism rocks, try it, oh sorry you cant, you have to wear green or you loose your job, you cant even wear your hair long if you want to hahaha! Looser.
