[quote]I've been thinking about the nubmer 46, too. Rose and I got fortune cookies the other day and we both had 46 under our lucky numbers. I also had a dream where 46 played a big part.[/quote] Okay, now that is synchronistic, to say the least. Does this mean you'll both be coming out to visit us? Oh, I hope it does. I would love to have some of my JU friends come and hang.

Momijiki, [quote]Those fires are really scary. When I found out how fast the fires were moving... really, no words. I'm just thankful more people weren't injured.[/quote] I was reading a piece about the fires where a farmer, having heard the fires were some distance away, decided to go take a look. By the time he got to the top of the hill near his house, the front was on him. It moved so quickly, he barely had time to get out alive. Unfortunately,

[quote]How can you be mad if you know you're mad?[/quote] Like you, the disconnection I have with most around me is very evident. I don't have many friends not because I'm a dick or hard to get along with but more because I find it difficult to understand or even, in some cases, tolerate how others live their lives. I mean, they are free to do want they want, but I am constantly amazed at the levels of ignorance they surround themselves with,

Serenity, Wow, as I was writing a response to Zoo, you were posting yours, I guess. Glad you enjoyed the read as much as I enjoyed writing it. Isn't it wonderfully liberating to let go of inhibitions and simply enjoying life in all its madness? I'm not being too hard on myself about my lack of motivation. As you say, it is good to relax and enjoy life, which is what I'm doing. I know I will be back on track soon enough. As for you getting a

Kelly, I love the idea of naming birthdays. I will have to think about it and see what I can come up with. Sometimes I have moments where I have a big problem with the numbers too. But mostly, I just get on and try to have as much fun as I can. I'm glad you enjoyed reading this, by the way. And I'm pleased you 'get' the madness thing too. All of the people I love in this world are crazier than loons. But this is why I love 'em. [e digicons]:D[/e]</p

By now, most of the world has probably heard about the bushfires in the Australian state of Victoria. These have been devasting and, by the looks of it, were deliberately lit. Don't get me started about what these arsonists deserve because you might not like what I have to say. While bushfires are nothing new here, the ferocity of these particular incidences have stunned the nation and the world. The human death toll at the moment is at 181 and is expe

46… I’ve been thinking a lot about this number lately. It is the age I will be in June this year. I’ve had nearly 46 years on Earth and I’m still like a wide-eyed child about its workings, in some respects. I like this. I like that there is so much in the world that still amazes me. It encourages me to seek, to learn, to experience and grow. What I don’t like is the myriad ways we turn can against each other. We seem so far removed from the days

I'm going to have to see if I can find the website. The teasers you've posted have only whet my appetitie. There are a few different types of places where I like getting lost: bookshops, music shops, art galleries. But I think bookshops are probably my favourite.

I too am late to this article but better late than never. I really like your idea of after school care (I originally wrote 'After Cool Scare', which, for some reason, sounds like a great name for a band). Yours is a terrific idea. It would be a fantastic thing to have running, particularly in areas where children don't have a lot to occupy themselves. I imagine setting something like this up which would include a studio for budding musicians, a kitchen for budding coo

Hey Zoo, While I've not actually lived in America, I do have a pretty good grasp of the cultural differences between it and the rest of the world. I've also lived in a predominantly American community while I was in the services. I don't know whether this makes me qualified enough to do the survey but I'd be happy to help out. Incidentally, it is good to see you mate.

Heya, glad to hear you're doing well and loving your career. I hope your shoulder is coming along. Reconstruction surgery is not fun so hopefully, this is working out for you. Good luck with your application to the Army. I'm keeping everything crossed and hoping you are accepted. And it is nice to see you saying you're happy and content. This doesn't come easy, as I know.
