Hi All

A friend mentioned she wanted me to post her name and let everyone have some fun with it!

Please feel free to jump in and post whatever you see.

The letters are:..A C I M N O R T V

She knows I'm a complete novice in such matters, but after looking at the letters, I found a word, so I'll start.

.................TV..........!

There, I did the hardest one so the rest should be easy

Love,
jwhop

Hi Jwhop, I found a few lovely words. Please forgive me if it turns out to be complete cobblers, I've only done this once before.

ROMANTIC MANIC CAROTIN ACTION ANTI ANTIC AIM COIN VIA MINOR ROAM TRAM TRAIN MAIN RATION TRIM ION....and billions more.

This suggests to me someone with great energy, journeys far from home...a bit of a tourist, perhaps a pilot or some other kind of vehicle operator.? Also there a lot of electronic/communication themes. MARCONI... first transmission via cable across the Atlantic (I think???).
Speed/physics also comes to mind. Fibre optics?

Mmmmmmm, interesting!!!

Love Tanya

Ooops. Nearly forgot. COM.... Internet communication? I suppose most of us do that now, so bit obvious.

Hey Tanya

You're doing great, wonderfully in fact so don't stop there. I can see her character in the words you put up.

Interesting indeed!

Love,
jwhop

Hahaha, I suspect you're being kind. Perhaps your friend is the complete opposite and she sits at home all day watching tv, and all that travel is vicarious...

Love Tanya

Hahaha Jwhop you're soo funny...tv

Hi Tanya
Hope you got home ok. It was really nice to meet you on Saturday - hopefully we'll do it again soon.
Hey I'm seriously impressed with your lexi.
I'm going to eat now but I'll have my first attempt at it later. Now nobody get excited as never done it before...lol
Chow for now
Sue

Dear jwhop!

I love the TV lex!!!
Tanya is an expert! I wish I could do it so easily as she does!

Listen to what I have found:

CAT, VAIN, RAIN, MAIN, NATION, VINO, NO, I AM, I AM NOT, ACT, ACTOR, AIR, ANT, ARM, ART, ATOM, I CAN, CAR, CARAT, TAN, MAN, ROMAN and the last one is disgusting but I'll write it down anyway VOMIT!
Maybe this friend of yours has some problems with digestion? Just joking!!!

This is so cool! Are you getting a right picture about your friend? I am, kind of.

El

Hi Tanya

Oh no, no dear you mustn't suspect me like that! It's fair to say she is far from home!
I don't think she has much time for watching TV nor that all her travelling is vicarious but the lexi should tell.

Hey Sue

Is there anything funny on television over there?

Love
jwhop

Hi El!

Hey dear, did you have to put CAT right next to VAIN. If that's the way she feels about her CAT, maybe it's the CAT who has the problems with digestion, or maybe he's just been eating grass again!

Sorry, my friend seems a little conflicted.
I AM, I AM NOT!!

Glad you liked the TV bit, it's a word that doesn't come up much at my place.

Tanya, you were right about Marconi and the Atlantic, except, just remembered it was a wireless transmission that replaced the cable

Hi GAIA

Decisions, decisions, maybe my friend should look for a VICAR who is RAM MAN!!

I know my friend is very interested in the results so maybe it would be possible for those with the talent for these things to put some more phrases together!

Love,
jwhop

G d morning Jwhop,

Maybe she should just do that

I am sorry that I am not able to form phrases that make sense. Just as it was in your case. Not good with the pen I am. Wished I would have the talent.

Have a h py day!

Phrase #4

I act on T.V., I'm an actor!

Aus

HI GAIA

I don't think that would be one of my wishes for her. Maybe A RA MAN!

I thought you did wonderfully with my name.
My notational abilities are, shall we say,
lacking

Hope you had a great day

Love,
jwhop

G d morning jwhop,

You're absolutely right a RA MAN I definately would take with me anywhere
I personally think that your notational abilities are very destinctive and on top of it you are very well able to SEE.
I am positive that you have a lot ability regarding the "occult-metaphysical" matters but you don't want it to be known

You have a ha y day jwhop.
GAIA

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye

HI GAIA

Thank you dear for commenting is such a kind way! It's true that occult-metaphysical matters interest me and I try to study a little each day but it's a stone with many facets and definately takes more time than I can devote to it right now. I do absolutely adore the study however!

Are you still working at the same place where you were before? When do you ever find the time for your own homework?

I wish I could own up to all the nice things but I'll just have to say, thank you dear!

Have a great day tomorrow!

Oh, I almost forgot, as luck would have it, I know where there is a RA MAN

Love,
jwhop

Hi jwh p,

Funny that you ask me if I have time to do my homework since I was responding today to Dave telling him I have almost no work here at the office because of closing the department. On top of that next to my bed, on the other bed are about 3 or 4 books waiting and wanting to be read every evening.
As a matter of fact yesterday arrived a book I ordered from India "Cheiro's Book of Numbers"!!!!!!!! Linda's interpretation of numerology and Lexigrams are derived from this book . (Does this sentence make sense?)
I just have a big problem with one of the sentences in the book: "There is no getting away from the fact that there are only nine Planets in our Solar System, also that there are only nine numbers by which all our calculations on this earth are made".

Anyway he also explains in this book why he is using the original Chaldean, Hindu, and Hebrew system rather than the Pythagorean System. But what am I telling you this all for if you are maybe in possession of this book

What is your birthday number? Just the day, it's supposedly the most important.

It seems I spend all my salary and more on books You should see my coffeetable!! I need a bigger apartment.
And as you mentioned one leads to another. My earlobes are burning and my head is spinning. My thurst of wanting to KNOW is especially huge these last months.

Now where is this RA MAN ?

According to Will
from good works on earth I have

AN EAR NEAR RA and
I AM AN ANGEL ON GE (GAIA) and there is
NO LIE IN I and
I LEARN A LIAR AIL

in my name.

Now I just need to have AN EYE ON RA

But I guess you reserved the RA MAN for your friend

Was nice talking with you again jwhop and BTW how is the decorating going?

Peacefull Dwelling

Hello jwhop!

I think that your friend really loves TIC-TAC mint drops! You know, the fresh breath is sooooooo important to vain cats!

Who is the RA MAN? I'm really curious, as usual.

I've also found CARAVAN lex, which really shows her zest for travelling.

El

HI GAIA

I think the sentence makes sense because I've read before that Linda's information was Derived from that source. The part about the Solar system and "nine" planets makes sense too since it's factually correct! I don't know if I'd agree with "nine" numbers bit though but if anyone wants to add some 0's to my trading account balance then bring them on No, I haven't gotten "Cherio's" book yet but thanks for reminding me.

My birthday is the 21st!

I do know what you mean about the coffeetable because mine used to have so many books and other materials that only the legs showed!

Usually when my earlobes are burning, it's for one of two reasons, one more pleasant than the other. Ditto with the spinning head.

I don't know what to tell you about that RA MAN dear! You might ask MS AVC if she has any of those "I LIKE LEO" buttons left

'When' you meet up with RA, I'm sure it will be he who has his eyes on you. It won't hurt that RA has a thing for ANGEL either!!

Love,
jwhop

[This message has been edited by jwhop (edited 03-29-2001).]

Hi El

My friend has her eye on a guy with a sports car. She doesn't know yet what his sign is but my guess is either Leo or Aries.

Hey El, does it have to be the RA MAM, there may be more than one. I know all about curiosity and cats, just don't forget histories lesson about that

I know the CARAVAN and travelling will appeal to her romantic nature. I'm wondering if she likes camels She'll like the Tic-
Tac thing too, since it's so specific.

Love,
jwhop

G d morning jwhop,

You're funny as usual

I didn't know that one becomes burning earlobes from other things than reading books I am afraid I will stick to the books and if RA should ever cast his EYES on me I definately will not get burning ears but a burning soul.

You don't know how lucky you are with your 21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful number!!!!!!

You're blessed with this number!!!!!

I leave you with wishes for a bright and ha y weekend.

GAIA

------------------

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye

HI GAIA

Burning earlobes only from reading??
I can tell you've never been in the US Army.
I had a Master Sergeant that could swear in 15 languages or it seemed that way and he was very articulate!

When RA casts his eyes on you GAIA watch out for a planetary warming.

So, what is special about the number 21? I thought it was a 3. My entire birth number is 26 to go with my name number 8. A blessing?

Hope you have a great weekend

jwhop

Dear jwhop

I haven't read this thread in entirety, (due to a recent ---unexpected, non-immediate-family death - ), but I did notice my name!!! ( ...with....I LIKE LEO)

OF COURSE I STILL HAVE MY "I LIKE LEO" Button(s) ----AND, I ALWAYS WILL!!!!!!

You always crack me UP....and I'm sure, always will

It's been a difficult week, but you always make me

Love,

PS HMMMMmmm...really got me wondering about your...

military experiences....well, that's to imagine (and laugh about later on! )

It's 5:30 am and I just read about the Lovers Garden forum!

Suggest we not wait too long to laugh about my military experiences. Time's moving fast and I already lost and hour today to the Daylight Time change!!!

Hi JW - sorry for interupting - the thred on teh Lovers Garden is also on Dave forum - do you want to take a peak a that oen as well???

Love and hugs

I hope you're doing well and we can lighten up with some fun and laughter soon. Heaven knows that's just what Dr. Seuss would order! Even for cranky E-8's

I do have some family stuff to keep up with just presently, but wanted to give you some 's.

Hope to see ya soon!

Love,

Always nice to see you Tink

Hi AVC

It really good to hear from you dear. Thanks for trying to brighten up a dark day. Let's have that laughter sooner rather than
later. I plan too!

Dr Seuss meets Sergeant,(what was his name?)
Guess it doesn't really matter, met one, met them all, but that's an event I'd love to
see.

Hi jwh p,

What sad news about Auriel and Dave and generally about this site

Compound Numbers show the hidden influences that play their role behind the scenes as it were, and in some mysterious way often foreshadow the future or the hidden current of destiny of the individual.

Number 21 is symbolised by the picture of "the universe" and is also called "the Crown of the Magi". It is a number of advancement, honours, elevation in life, and general success. It means victory after a long fight, for "the Crown of the Magi" is only gained after long initiation and tests of determination. It is a fortunate number of promise if it appears in any connection with future events.

Hope your "fights" are over

NOTE: The number on the month of Birth or the year of Birth is not so personal or so intimate in regard to close calculations as in the number of the day of Birth.

The number of the month is useful as far a general matters, and the number of the year to the wider current of events.

Why jwhop don't tell me that you get red ears when someone is swearing. If it's a woman I would understand, but a sergeant

Wishing you a g d week.

HI GAIA

It truely is sad news about Dave, Auriel and the two forums!!!

Thanks for the information about the number 21, I hadn't ever given it any thought at all
but it seems to be right on. Where did you find this information!

Do I seem like the fighting type to you?

I really appreciate you posting this because I had it fixed in my mind that the important number in my birthdate was 26 or 8!

It is startling to hear a beautiful woman using profanity but with the sergeant, it was standard fare. He also was prone to putting his fingers on our brass which causes it to tarnish, what a sweetheart One day during a practice inspection, I managed to drop my M-14 when he reached for it and he had to clean it for me. Or probably, he took it to the armory and had the armor clean it! When I got it back, it was the cleanest I ever saw it but I'm also sure he fiddled with the sights because the next time we went to the range, there weren't any holes in my target!! I thought maybe I was shooting blanks the first 6 to 8 rounds till I figured it out. I'm sure that somewhere back behind the firing line he was going heh heh. Like I said, a real sweetheart!

Hope you're having a good week!

Love,
jwhop

Hi AVC

I do remember what we called Sergeant Whatshisname but I can't post it here.

So that's how you spell gobeldiguek, I was wondering about that!

Imagine all those trees sacrificed for Department of Defense paperwork!

You left out 2 of my favorite forms dear, the DD-214 and the DD-33-RNR-44!!

Hopefully the good Sergeant has been promoted to PFC or better yet Permanent Latrine Orderly!

Sincerely hope things are looking up for you now dear.

Hi jwh p,

I liked your post on the other forum
Let's hope something comes out of it.
Maybe they need a business consultant.

The information I provided you with comes from Cheiros book of numbers but I truly don't know if you are the fighting kind. But don't we all more or less fight oursELFS through life

I keep mysELF short today because I am busy
printing books!!!! Since I believe that my last day at work will be the 20th of April I have to get as much done for my enlightenment as possible

Happy day

Thank you --I am feeling pretty alright - which is my usual way of feeling anyhow!

HaHa on the DD, DOD, & whatever maybe-maybe (which is good enough for goverment work anyhow)!

Yes, I'm sure ol' PFC Gobeldiguek (yeah, I DID make that one up on the fly ) will just have to suck it up and drive on.

Hey, if you get the chance, send me an e-mail adrss. of yours - there's a military question I wanted to ask you about. You can find mine @hotmail.com - by the name of msavchm. ( no need to address it here, just do it if you're able ).

I hope you're feeling better too

HI GAIA

MMhhh, a bookmaker, gee GAIA over here the state gives free room and board for 3-5 years for that.

Thank for for the information and the source, Cheiros, I've made a note so I can find the book!

I don't know about fighting oneself through life. Generally, with me, it's see, say, do.
About the only time I'm conflicted is when I overanalyze.

Have you decided what you're going to do when your job is finished? You're getting to be a short timer!

Have a good day!

Love,
jwhop

G:O d morning jwhop,

You made me smile again with your remark about free room and board Would not mind that at all in a different environment than the one you mentioned

I know it's somewhat unethical to print all these pages in the office but I have nothing else to do here anymore. And I do not want to pretend to be sick and go on sickleave
My boss is coming on the 19th of April to pack up everything and ship to Holland. He still did not give me notice. I guess he does not know that we have 6 weeks of notice here in Vienna instead of 2 weeks. In the meanwhile I am looking to find another job which at least interests me a little. But it does not look good. But as I mentioned to you a while ago I will make a Webdesign course which the "Unemployment office" will pay for. We still do have a pretty good social system over here. But don't know for how much longer. I certainly can not afford any kind of course. They are very expensive.
Especially seminars concerning ones own well being are indispiciple high priced.

Now don't you overanalyze what I have written here, after all I don't want to be responsible for another conflict

Wishing you a peacefull weekend.

GAIA

------------------

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye

Hi AVC

Glad to hear you're feeling better dear.

Yeah, a whatever and a couple of maybes is pretty good, for government work anyway!

Have a great day!

Love,
jwhop

HI GAIA

That environment must not be too bad, lots of people keep going back, again and again.

6 weeks of notice is alot, do be sure to let your boss know, the last day would be fine.
I know how hard it is to find something to do when you're just basically waiting for something to end. You'll be fine in whatever you decide to do. You're already mostly trained for the bookie business. You're into numbers and know the printing business. Of course, you'd have to give up those social programs and as for unemployment compensation, forget that because people come to you at all hours of the day and night so you'd always be busy. An added bonus is if you move to Las Vegas and set up there the government looks the other way and winks at your operation!

Don't you worry a bit about me overanalyzing what you've written. I pay alot more attention to what people do--unless what they say makes my earlobes hot!

Peacefull weekend to you too dear.

Love,
jwhop

G d morning jwhop.

May you have Joy and Peace at Easter.

A Song of Spring

April sings a song of spring
And dances on a bluebird's wing
ulips raise their heads to view
A cloud-draped sky of azure blue.

Shiny dewdrops dress the days
In gowns of silver-sparkled rays
Breezes rustle newborn leaves
And wrap them in wind symphonies.

Sometimes sunshine, sometimes showers
Bathe and nurture budding flowers
As April sings a song of spring
And dances on a bluebird's wing

I sincerely hope you will be with the special people in your life at Easter time.

Love,
jwhop

G d morning jwhoop,

Easter is over and I have to confess that I will never again celibrate this special season in Vienna. People forgot the Spirit of Easter. Everyone is "showering" each other with expensive gifts. After Christmas is Easter the most important day for money making. I am somewhat disgusted. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your days

Have a l vely day.

GAIA

------------------

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye

Hi GAIA!

People are people all over dear, here or there, some keep the meaning of special days and some don't. Here, the supermarkets do big business but gifts per se aren't much in evidence!

What was noticable here where I live was the traffic. Gulf Blvd was a zoo Easter Sunday About the only showering I saw was beachgoers standing under the fresh water showers washing off the salt water and sand from the Gulf of Mexico!

Are you planning to leave Vienna GAIA?? Seems a shame to leave such a beautiful
city!

Love,
jwhop

G d morning jwhop,

Are you intentionally making me envy those beachgoers ?

The only showers over here at the moment are from rain and this alone would be a reason to leave Vienna. I would not regret for one minute to leave Vienna and move, lets say to Brazil. Since I have no roots here per say it would not hurt me to leave. Of course I would miss the many cultural events and concerts here but only sometimes. But alas, no job offers in Brazil unless I would want to work voluntaryly let's say for the Brazilian Streetkids or to save the Amazone. But since I am still not layed off I have time to think what to do, but as usual nothing comes from my thinking Only headaches and sometimes heartache. In any event I need to force mysELF to go out this week and next because Neil predicted that this is the time for me to meet someone who might be waiting just for me . But I am afraid I will let this opportunity pass since I decided that I do rather stay by mysELF and walk a different path which does not include a mate. I guess I have to find another "outlet" for my feelings. I am not speaking of sexual feelings. Hope this statement does not make your earlobes burn

Wishing you as usual a lovely week.

GAIA

P.S. Sometimes I almost feel sorry for you
with all the girls here and hardly any guys to talk to. But at least you get to know womens way of thinking better.

[This message has been edited by GAIA (edited 04-23-2001).]

HI GAIA

Now how could I make you envious of those beachgoers?? Just because it's 85* with balmy breezes under cloudless skies and the hibiscus, hydrangea and all the subtropical
flora is in full bloom in the Sunshine state of FL, why on Earth would anyone want to come here?

Looks like you are taking a global view work and residency GAIA. Somewhere in the world, you should be able to find something satisfactory.

Don't know if it's what you said or a little sunburn but my earlobes are a little sensitive

I know what you mean about there not being enough guys here for me to talk to. We could talk about cars, football, baseball, the weather and eventually women!
Pity really.

Have a great week!

Love,
jwhop

G d morning jwhop,

You know jwhop I did live 8 years in the Sunshine State (Lauderdale by the Sea) and am well aware of the humidity and the heat and the non existant change of seasons Who on earth would ever want to live there

Jwhop you forgot to mention politics. Men usually do like to talk about politics. Well actually Italians just love this subject. And talking about women is boring. These kind of talks seem to be heading always in the same direction. Earlobes, earlobes.......

It is much more interesting to talk with woman because it's the only way to really, well almost, get to know them. But according to your statement you are here on this forum to learn about women (partnership) I changed my mind and do not feel sorry for you any longer for being the rooster in the basket. This is a literal German translation, I am afraid it does not make sense.

BTW jwhop what do you think about the other place and the membership fee?

Watch those earlobes of yours.

GAIA

------------------

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye

HI GAIA

You're right of course dear, who on earth would want to live in Lauderdale. All that sun and sea, who needs it!

Politics and religion are the 2 things I always try to avoid in conversations. Why would I want to hear what some guy thinks women are all about, much better for me to come to the source to find out. Guys don't make my earlobes even a little warm dear, let alone burn. Do you like to talk about politics GAIA?

Hey GAIA, let's not talk about roosters in a basket. My experience has taught me that roosters in baskets are generally on their way becomming someone's dinner.

I think the other site is great. The fees are very reasonable and if you want specific questions answered by one of the astrologers those fees aren't much either. Have you been over there to visit yet??

Love,
jwhop

Hello dear jwhoop,

You are sooo funny jwhop. Almost everytime I read your words I am laughing out loud Thank God I am sitting alone in an office, otherwise they might bring me to the looney bin. Is this the correct expression?
You are very wise not to talk about those sensitive subjects. Many people walk away from this kind of discussions with hard feelings. Although I do hope you are having someone with whom you can share your opinions, especially about religious matters and most importantly who thinks like yOu There is nothing more frustrating if you want to share your ideals and the other person looks at you like you would be from another planet

Now jwhop if the rooster does not want to land on the dinner plate don't you think it would be up to him to avoid it? And if he should land on the plate then hopefully on the plate he chooses

No I do not like to talk about politics because honestly I am not able to stay "neutral". I talk mysELF into a frenzy and I am the one who walks away with hard feelings. I tend to take everything personal
and on top of this I am also a very emotional human being.

And yes I have been to the other place - roaming. I just have to warm up sort of speak - I am a little slow.

Dear jwhop a usual I am wishing you a lovely weekend and hope you don't get a sunburn

GAIA

------------------

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye

HI GAIA

There is something infectious about laughter so who knows, the whole office might laugh at your laughter. On the other hand they might send the guys with the butterfly nets after you, in which case, I'll promise to visit! Looney Bin, oh I don't think so GAIA. I think you would find names like Meadow Lawn or Peaceful Valley! The Looney Bin is where all those psychiatrists and psychologists go to get their degrees!

Everyone already thinks I'm from another planet, why discuss politics or religion and give them the proof they need to declare me persona non grata on Earth On the other hand, we will conquer you earth people!

You know how empathic I am dear so I'm thinking the roosters thoughts on the matter would be that "if it wasn't for the honour of the thing, he'd probably just as soon forego it".

Heh heh, a true crusaders zeal huh, well, I always knew that under that cool, calm exterior there was some real fire. Let's talk politics GAIA! Might help you get warmed up for the other place, slowly of course.

Hope you having a really great weekend GAIA. Planning to get some sun myself this weekend.

Love,
jwhop

G d morning jwhop,

Hey jwhop we actually have some sun here since Friday. Have to be really careful not to get sunburned. Honestly, I am suffering from Mallorca Acne, you know where you get little blisters mostly on the chest. And it itches sooo bad. And it looks very yucky. Think the spelling is off on that one.

Let's talk politics.

Yesterday there was a debate about Austria having not enough workforce, therefore, they want to bring foreigners into the country. They predict that by the year 2005 we will need to bring in thousands of people from other countries. What consternated me was that we do have a lot unemployed people ourselves looking for jobs but what really got me furious was that they don't give older people a chance. I think I mentioned this before, once you're over the hill (35) in their eyes, it is almost impossible to find a decent job. But I wrote a few e mails today to the relevant politicians asking them if they are not quiet right in their heads. Afterwards I felt sooo much better

That was my contribution to politics

Did you see the thread Rooster for dinner which Ace Yellow started?

Have a lovely week.

GAIA

P.S. Now don't you forego any possible chances. They might not come as often

------------------
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye

Hi GAIA

Congratulations on a sun day in Vienna. Would you care to explain how you got blistered in that particular area! Sounds suspiciously like poison ivy but either one, my grandmother would have said, "a paste made of baking soda and don't do it again", or Calamine lotion.

Oh my, over the hill at 35. Gee, I really enjoyed that age, so much in fact that I intend to enjoy it even more the second time around It's difficult for me to relate to that particular problem GAIA because in the US, we have laws in the United States Code making the practice of age discrimination an unlawful act with enforcement by the Dept. of Labor and of course possible suit by the discriminated against party! Juries here can punish offenders with hugh awards to the plaintiffs. Have you written editorials in the large newspapers? Companies just despise adverse publicity as do politicians. The ultimate power in any country always rests with the people GAIA though politicians, governments, newspapers and business work overtime to obscure that fact. Every politician is as close to unemployment as the next election, every business is dependent upon the continued patronage of their customers, etc, etc. Perhaps you've found the outlet for all that pent up emotion that you aren't going to use in the other pursuit you mentioned! Anyway, it sounds like you've made a good start by letting your fearless leaders know you doubt their competency.

Hey, I did see that Rooster thread and it seems Ace Yellow is lobbying hard for the honour of being the Rooster on the dinner plate. I think I'll bow to his superior fervor, seems a shame to horn in on his action.

Have a great week GAIA!

G d morning jwhop,

it seems that lately my emotions are not only pent up but I am very aggressive .
What is frustrating me is that most people are SHEEP. Moan, groan and conform. Now they do want to make it a law to work until 65. Mind you not that I am not willing to work until this age or even longer (if I like my work) but who wants an old hag?

Lately I am thinking of selling my apartment and everything else and move into a 3rd world country, preferable Brazil and work with the underprivileged as a volunteer. I can take the money I get for my apartment and invest it smartly. I am very tired of being "forced" to look good, dress smart and all this other materialistic BS. And I am tired of sitting 8 hours in an office. Yesterday I had an argument with my parents regarding my wanting to be of service to humanity. They think I need a man (partner) with whom I can talk and so on. I told them that talking is not the problem but understanding ME is a different cup of tea. They absolutely don't understand that peace and joy have to come from the inside and not from a man or woman. But I guess all parents want their children to be well thought after I told them that I will not depend on anybody, only on mysELF. Times changed and because of women like Gloria Steinem men think we can take care of ourselves. And so we do. How we do this is a different matter.

Last week the legalized euthanasia in Holland and of course their is a lot of contradiction on this matter.

Hi GAIA

What a dichotomy, retire workers from good paying meaningful jobs at age 35, then require them to work to age 65 to begin getting the benefits they paid for. Sound like your politicians have a serious case of political schizophrenia! You know the cure for that particular malady is early retirement don't you?

Old hag?? Surely you must have one or 2 good years left GAIA, or have you also perfected the art of exaggeration like the political class?? Perhaps you should mobilize the youthful workers explaining they'll oneday be 35 and forcibly retired. Heck, you might even be able to help retire an over 35 politician from office.

What is it that you think men don't understand about you GAIA?? Has there ever been a generation that didn't think their parents misunderstood them?? I presume you've read Linda Goodman's Star Signs? I believe her belief was that you can benefit others best by first taking care of yourself abundantly, then giving to others, your time and resources and of course, the more abundance you create, the more you have to give to others.

Euthanasia, seems there's some people in favor of it as long as it's for someone else. My opinion is that those for it should try it first and if they can then give a favorable report, then maybe I could get behind it myself.

How true that women have so much to thank Gloria Steinem and Patricia Ireland for.
