Don't know about having a housewarming party. I really don't have a lot of friends nearby as they all stayed back in my hometown. I have worked at the same small office for 12 years, so have not had any chance to meet new people over the years (not the bar type either). Most of the friends that could be invited would probably be my husbands and they would definitely trash the place and probably get the police called! Exactly why I designated THE BASEMENT for hubby's space! ------------------ |

In listening to this Mandarin, I'm actually appreciating what a stunningly beautiful language it is. So poetic, with soft consonants. Suits sung vocals very nicely.
The written characters are of course an artform in themselves. I WANT TO LEARN MANDARIN! WAAAHHH I'd love to learn Irish Gaelic too. Why is the country I was born in so monolingual! ------------------ O.K..... what do I do now? A fair dinkum laughing Hyena! |

I really liked your little, seemingly insignificant, goose story, you made it sound almost poetic: I like a lot what it tells about the way you look at - certain aspects - of the world, so: If Ramon had not already been madly in love with Ladywendy, he would be now ! ( don't worry about that, okay ? Look exactly at how I phrased that, I am usually very precise on such things. One of the reasons I am such an awfully slow poster. ). Seriously, I'm happy for you that you have a park nearby. Is it one of these old parks with huge old trees ? You mentioned that you now lived near the city center, so that would be possible. I love such places, mostly I because of those old trees like oaks, beeches, maples or lindens. That is also why I am so fond of old cemeteries, they are often the only places that have gone unchanged, undisturbed for decades or even centuries. I also like to look at the tombstones and to imagine how these longgone people might have lived. Does that sound too morbide ? (Note to Cb: if you happen to read this: you already knew that I lived in a tomb, didn't you ? Sorry LW, insider joke. ) Couldn't a housewarming party also serve to get to know your neighbours, some of which could, if you are lucky, later become new friends ? And ones for whom you didn't need the police present when they visit. Sorry, if that touches on anything too personal. Oh, and why don't you invite the local police as well in the first place, so your husband's friends could come, too. ------------------ So long !

You are an incredibly intelligent, witty, charming person, that is my take on you (I can also be a slow poster, don't feel alone. Yes, at times (not many) I actually THINK before I type!!) Well, sorry, but this park is not exactly breathtaking. It has only so many trees, mostly bordering small open fields with picnic areas. When I walked down the biketrail I came upon a bridge with grafitti on the walls and further on construction and railroad tracks, eventually the path ended with a highway. Of course, I have yet to traverse in the other direction down the trail, and I know it goes for miles. We shall see. I see nothing morbid about visiting old graveyards, as long as you don't have a shovel with you! Doh! Sorry. Ah, the neighbors. That's another story. Talked about that one last night at the Inn to CB. Don't know what page it is on though. Invite the local police? Well, that would be really easy as they actually drive up and down the bike trail at regular intervals! ------------------ |

Well, it is "blushing season" again : Thank you very much for your - overly - kind words ! But watch out, I am starting to get used to it. Now, that might appear vain - oh my, that word again - or narcissistic on my part, but I would really like to know what you thought of me, before changing your mind and deciding that I was such a "wonderboy", and especially why you thought that. I am no masochist, but I might really be able to learn something from that. Or was it just more generally a feeling of unfamiliarity ? Oh, what I really liked about your goose story was not above all the funny aspect, but how you imagined the "thoughts and "feelings" of that goose and decided to respect that. There are people to whom that sort of thing might appear silly, but I think it is very telling of how imaginative and sweet you are. And yes it was funny as well. But what happened to your mischievous side ? You won't go too soft on me here, will you ? Sorry about the park, but let's hope better things lie ahead for you, "beyond" - down the trail in the other direction that is. Not going to propose anything "new age" to you or will I ? In another thread, I think, you mentioned owning fishes, didn't you ? But sure don't make for the greatest walking companions in the park, though. ------------------ So long !

As for the goose, I have always been a type of person that tries to think what a person and yes, even an animal, is thinking and go from there. I am one of those who notices a lot of things and takes them all in. I especially for some reason have a soft spot for animals that like to "blend in." At the old house we had a pond with some frogs and I'd go out to plant flowers or weed or something and I could see them sitting around the perimeter of the pond thinking they were invisible to me. I never looked them in the eye and pretended it was working, and as time went by the never ran away when I saw them. I do the same thing with birds, I always keep my head down and pretend I'm just going about my business, nope, don't see you (peek)! What do you mean my mischievious side is gone? Last I looked it was still anchored! What do you mean by "new age"? I gotta hear this!! Yes, fishes are not good walking companions, but I could go on and on at the things about life I have learned owning a fish tank. ------------------ |

My crack has all the sensitivity of a nuclear deterrent amongst LadyWendy's and Ramon's exchanges. And I thought she meant another kind of goose entirely! Suffering from forum withdrawal symptoms me-thinks! No ducks or geese nearby, but we do get seals on the shore of the river here, as we are very close to the sea. I love their smiley faces, they manage to look happy and sad at the same time.
