Jennka

Oh come on...just a few times. Who knows, i just might learn something, albeit a bad experience but it's still learning right?

Congrats hun....Quién necesita tiempo cuando te cerebros

And Jennka...remember how u mentioned how bad driving can get in your area. I think the city planners might have

something to do with it. Explain the below?

That's somewhere is Eastern Slovakia by the way.

Lol, that´s quite common and "normal" here - it means you cannot go straight forward, but you can go right though have to give the priority to all vehicles and pedestrians that would come in your way.

get it?

But the city traffic light planners suck anyway sometimes the system is really illogical more then helping to make the traffic fluent and easy, it makes it more complicated! Suckers

those eyes SWOONSSSSSSS, lolllllllllllll, agreed with you about the dogs, humans dont always treat them like they should, its heart breaking, because dog's arent able to always defend themselfs, and if they DO its their fault, not saying at times there are dogs that are violent and hurt people but its usually due to being TRAINED that way, or by bad treatment. THen we have cats, AWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE my little mr poopie, as i call my cat legs sometimes, is a DIVA, lollllll goes around the house moewing his head off like, bitches PLEASE, bow the knee before my kitty greatness

Loool kitty greatness, exactly cats are fascinating creatures when speaking about them, we have another kittens on the cottage on Myjava they´re so adorable, running around all the time, doing these kitty things... and funny looking, not black nor grey... really beautiful

Legs is the king, of just doing WETF he wants lollllllllllll, most of the time its spent sleeping in either our bed, or in the big bay window in the front of our house, basking in the sun lollllllllllllllllllll. The rare times he does get out of the house, he's like wtf trying to walk about in the lava rocks we have, lifting his legs WAY up high, looks sooooooooooooooooooo funny, like when you put socks on their feet lolllllllllllll

as my thread's got no passing trade - what does this mean? I tried to google it but still do not understand

^I meant nobody is coming into it and posting at the moment. It's (I guess) an economic term about shops having a 'passing trade', i.e you walk along the street and pop in because you suddenly see what you want in the window or remember you need something...

Forgive me if I've asked you before, but do you and FL know anything about mushroom picking/foraging? It's something I've always wanted to do but the idea that the wrong one could kill you fills me with trepidation! I figured your "woodland ways" might entail some knowledge of this art...

They say all mushrooms are delicious - just some of them only once!

I check your thread every day!! :persuazn: and always try to write something... I like visiting it

Oh, mushrooms - I love them. FL knows some, I know very little, but our friends are quite skilled in this area, so we usually go with them even the most venomous ones can serve as a medicine... though I do not recommend it but just like you, I´d love to learn more about picking up mushrooms... but, that said, I´d love to know like everything

You don´t know anyone skilled in this area? You could pick up something from him for sure... that´s the best way to learn - to actually see the mushrooms (not only in books) - colours and structure are the most important things of course - but the mushroom can look very different in pics and in reality... not even saying that some most delicious ones look exactly like some most venomous ones

One of my favourite things in the world

Unfortunately he stopped doing regular comics quite a while ago, although he occasionally adds a new one. They're brilliant though.. I've got his book too

Oh my!! he really IS brilliant I absolutely love the Executive Decision one, loool need to check that site!!

Hello Miss Minx alot ( I got no idea either )

Hey traveler how are ya? I´ve read that you´re still trying to find a work. Nothing still?

No I am thinking i might have to move back to London, Which actually i wouldn't mind doing anyway lots of friends up there. To be honest there isn't much going for me down where i live now. Since i was away all my friends have moved on and doing their own thing. New Jobs, Houses, Babies, Cities....Everything has changed. One of my mates has even decided to change her sexual prefrences thats how much things have changed Which let me tell you was a huge shock So the group that i was in has kinda disappeared. Which was bound to happen but just wish it didn't happen while i was away, <_< cuz it's been quite a shock coming back. whereas for the others it has been a gradual change. Doesn't seem wired to them.

It's taken me a little while to get use to the new situation.

Hey I´m sorry that you´re not feeling well lot of rest and lots of vitamins - and hot tea - should help.... do not neglect it!!

Thanks . I'm up to 38.5 C today...

Which looks like a perfectly edible (and delicious) chanterelle, but is a false chanterelle and extremely poisonous. :x How are you supposed to get around tricks like that?

Since Christmas?? Oh my. Do you miss her much? When fl left for week I was going crazy... could not sleep well, nothing really interested me... how do you cope with it?

Lol, that´s quite common and "normal" here - it means you cannot go straight forward, but you can go right though have to give the priority to all vehicles and pedestrians that would come in your way.

LOL oh jeez, i get it alright, just not the mentality behind such a traffic control system I usually don't like to make assumptions about any person, place, or thing based on YouTube videos but

I've been watching driving in Slovakia and i must say....it reminds me so much of the bumper car ride at the carnival when i was a kid

Here in the states you usually just have a solid RED light to indicate to vehicles they may not proceed straight obviously. And as far as making a right turn on that same lane, yield and use caution before proceeding (if a "no right turn on red" sign is posted) unless a green arrow is posted for that right turn lane. But you will never see 2 different colored arrows configured the way it is in Slovakia. I can already see the mayhem for that intersection :| Our system seems a bit more straight forward but then again, we all get accustomed to the given rules of the road around us

So it came in quite handy I understand? you wanted to get rid of her anyway? lool, my first "love" - first guy. I was 15, he was a year older than me, and I was so in a teenage love. Our relationship lasted for month - I decided to split with him because I realized.... well, that he wasn´t really what I was looking for. Always "so cool" and always "a tough guy" "iron steel nerves" and well, I was young and stupid too and jealous at that time, and he wasn´t all that bad - however, I was thinking how to tell him that our relationship is gone... so I went out with him, told him what I did not like and he was like "You will never change me, right? You will never change me!!" all the time, and I was like "Ok, I don´t want to change you, I want to break up with you!" and he was still his "You will never change me, right? Because this is the way I am!!" and again I "OK damn let´s just break up and have this done finally!!" and guess what... "You will never change me!!"

so I just stood and waited till he ended his speech and then I repeated what I said, and finally, he was ok with it. It was a bit sad but surprisingly I did not cry at all, even when I came home, I felt like a stone has fallen off my heart. What more saddened me was that minutes after I broke up with him, another friend of my (very, very good friend) asked me to date him I was like, damn, those are MINUTES I just broke up with a guy, hello!! Of course I rejected him... and our friendship ended as well, and this time I cried.

Freakin love, eh?

Very interresting story ! Did you hate the nerves of steel because you wanted to be the one to protect him from things? Or you just thought it was an act and wanted something that seemed more natural? Either way, its good that you got your point across and didn't cry about it, so I guess it was just another step of the learning for you . Even though I guess the not crying was short lived when the friend asked to date him . People are interresting that way I guess. Its probably even harder for some to not go for it in school I guess because the world seems so small whereas if you get out in the world and still date a friends ex right after its even worse because your world and options are then bigger.

Do you think that some Asian think that if they´ll look like Europeans / Americans, their life will be better?

I know there's not only some, but tons both because of their own admission and the money they spend on it. They spend a lot of money on eye surgeries and skin whitening cream and now even surgeries to make them taller that takes a whole year off of work to recover. That said, being self depricating in the way of looks is viewed differently in their culture, so in my experience the average Asian with low esteem of their looks is still happier and more confident overall than the average person from other cultures with low esteem of their looks. Even though many think they would be happier than they are looking differently, there's still no evidence that other races are any happier themselves. Its kindof complicated since other races don't view low esteem of ones looks as being acceptable I guess. In our own worlds though, we probably know working class people who are happier than most rich people, but still think they'd be happier if they were rich and some even get rich and find out otherwise even. That's not to say they all become miserable, but some just find they just stay the same.

Lol, Joe. No, there are not many women that look like this at your place are?

Yes, there are many of them . A small percentage because the land is so vast, though if all of them were to go to some small countries they could be a big percentage of the population. Don't get me wrong, I love strong women, I just prefer they look more like women that is.

If you both don't mind me butting into your discussion

From my own experience, I believe it boils down to one thing. Wealth. If you are a Asian man with light colored skin it means you spend most of your waking hours indoors and out the sun. Therefore meaning you must have a job in the city and work in a building. Jobs like these are renowned to be far more well paid then anything else. For example agriculture work, which is hard labour and poorly paid. The difference between light skinned colored people and dark skinned is vast, in terms of the way that they are treated. The light skinned asians are far more respected and hold a much higher status as they represent the country well. You see while western civilization is in a economic crisis. The east is making leaps and bounds (well for their standards) So representation to them is key in order to progress.

The women are forever dressing themselves up and covering their body (how they do it in such searing heat is beyond me) They do this in the hope to make themselves more attractive to wealthy Asian men and get themselves out of poverty. I am not suggesting that darker skinned girls are unattractive. However a wealthy businessman wouldn't want to be seen with a darker skinned girl as it damages his status.

Also if you're fat man, you are seen as more attractive as it suggest you can afford good food and lots of it. Basically totally reveres to over here

Which reminds me of a particular hotel manager treating me far much better then any other customer. Extra food was always placed on my plate. Forever flirting with me, saying "I like you Harry, then running off giggling" and always served me first

When she found out that i stayed the night with this girl, she always asked if we were "just friends" it was sweet at first but it soon wore off and she hated the girl i stayed the night with

Anyways, my point is she was clearly trying to win my affection in the hope that i would provide her with a better life and all that jazz

A lot of Korean- Americans, Taiwanese-Americans, Japanese-Americans, and Chinese-Americans get 'eyelid surgery' and rhinoplasty. But their rhinoplasty is to increase the length of the nose rather than to reduce it. I suppose that being spoon-fed Western beauty ideals since birth have something to do with it.

As for skin tone, these are lighter than the SE Asians. Koreans and Chinese from the Northern provinces tend towards being pale. They are also considerably taller than those from the south, and approach average height vs. white Americans. Very tall Asians aren't uncommon. The 'Fresh off the boat' types from Chinatown New York are generally yellow and shorter than the 'Brain drain' Asians ( immigrants that come for professional employment).

^ i see. Its unfortunate really, they have it so much better in so many aspects then us. But because they don't have the luxury of knowing what it's like on the other side (well not at first hand) like we do. They are forever under the impression (almost to the point of brain washed) into thinking that they need to look/act and whatever else you wish to add to that list like us in order to succeed in life. Tragically it's such a large issue that i can't see it ever changing

It seems to me as time goes on, a wider range of beauty is accepted more openly. On top of that, with the internet people are able to see people from places they've never been. I have some Asian friends and know some, but they're only 5% of the population here and I haven't been to any of those countries at least that I can remember but I've heard a lot of people like me saying their opinion changed through seeing actresses and models that they never knew there were so many Asian beauties. Of course, I never really thought one group was better than the other anyway, but I'm still amazed to see the beauties in places I visit as well as that people show me. I guess if anything would be the answer for them, it would be that. It may not happen over night, but we'll see .

Thought the Red Dwarf fans here would like to know that, according to Robert Llewellyn's Red Dwarf blog, they have now finished recording the new series.

We have made 6 new half hour episodes known as Red Dwarf X. It will be broadcast on Dave in the UK from some as yet unconfirmed date in September or October this year. It will be released in many dozens of other new and old media formats globally after that date (but before Christmas) DVD, Blu Ray, Netflix, iTunes blah de blah.

It is, I think I can say without prejudice, classic Red Dwarf, much closer to series 4,5 and 6 than anything else we’ve done since. We used very little CGI (some special effects enhanced by GCI wibbly wobbliness) but we do use a lot of model shots and they look ‘freakin’ awesome’ as young American chaps are known to say.

These are adorable

Auan, a seven-year-old female cat, licks the body of Jeena, a three-year-old male mouse, at a farmer’s house in the central province of Phichit, 450 km (281 miles) north of Bangkok on August 7, 2002. The animals owners say Auan found Jeena three years ago and has been his playmate and protector, including warding off dogs, since then.

I hope that move to London will help. Maybe you can find a good job there too? Is London a place where you were born?

Hey I´m sorry that you´re not feeling well lot of rest and lots of vitamins - and hot tea - should help.... do not neglect it!!

Thanks . I'm up to 38.5 C today...

I heard you feel better now?

However I´m worse I´ve been sneezing all over the place, everyone around me is ill and the weather is freezing. What a nice view, lol.

I check your thread every day!! :persuazn: and always try to write something... I like visiting it

^Oh it's never you, just the rest of the world!

It´s always the rest of the world! I just always try to visit every thread, eventhough I sometimes neglect my own but there are some threads I take deep pleasure in, and yours is one of those

^I know - that's what is so off-putting... I mean, you get some really ugly ones and figure: 'no way am I eating that'; but then you get this:

Which looks like a perfectly edible (and delicious) chanterelle, but is a false chanterelle and extremely poisonous. :x How are you supposed to get around tricks like that?

You know... one can always try... that´s why it´s best to go with someone skilled... they´ll show you tips and tricks how to recognize these. It´s always something little - the colour of the buck, the colour of the mushroom after you cut it out... sometimes the smell, or taste (yes, sometimes people actually bite a little from it ).
