Until fairly recently I had only ever driven manuals. I have a semi automatic now which is way cool but I think I will be going back to manual next. It is too boring driving an automatic.. too many lapses in concentration

The eyes have it LOL You are beautiful.

*sigh* me too.... that would be, I think 4am

*sigh* My favourite

I like my coffee strong black and plentiful. It's pretty much the only non alcoholic drink I drink. I can't stand carbonated drinks they just make me feel bloated and sick. I think that society is a little too hysterical about what we eat. At the end of the day my mantra is... eat as big a variety of food as I can whenever I want it. I do keep a nether eye on fat sugar and carb intake and try to make my diet as healthy and varied as I can and it seems to be working. I never read the ingredients... no point it means nothing. But generally a little packacged chemical intake as long as it is balanced by plenty of fresh fruit and veg, is not likely to be doing me any harm. On the other hand the reports that dead bodies are failing to decompose and that men are becoming less and less fertile are slightly worrying.

The best form of defence is attack

Spring rain falls, hides tears death leaves companion cold saying farewell love.

Thanks

With THOSE eyes who notices the glasses

I can understand why you were hesitant to post but I am so glad you did. I think what you have said underlines the saddest thing of all about abuse... that so often the people being abused don't even see it until they are out of the abusive situation/relationship, or they think that it is their fault. That is why education is important. Why it is important to speak up and to show the world that beautiful, strong, intelligent people can sometimes fall prey to abuse and that gives hope to those who are still in that situation to realise that they are not weak, stupid, ugly or somehow 'deserving' of that kind of treatment. It also gives hope to show that people who have been abused are not necessarily traumatized, broken people, but can be strong and get past it. As someone who has been there myself and who fights it every day I salute you.

Welcome Kalen. Loving your story so far

I have a happy dance too... usually do it to jazz and only when I am strictly alone. Have some wine and a son free evening so I think some happy dancing is on the cards... just for you Steve. If ever we meet you can hit me with your prosthesis for the images that might conjure in a healthy mind

Great News. That is definately a move in the right direction. Although there is a lot of work, pain and tears ahead they will be productive ones and our thoughts are with him all the way

I never knew that. Thank you for teaching me something new today

Liking it. If I wasn't already half way to hell I would definately not make you a sandwich

How about spontaneous molecular deconstruction whilst being attacked by a shark, who was struck by lightening during a meteor shower? Or do you think that might be a little excessive? As an alternative how about accidentally cutting his own throat whilst shaving

Abuse is a great leveller and has no prejudices at all. It can happen to anyone at any time. As a family lawyer I see it every day. parent/child; child/parent: man/woman; woman/man: man/man; woman/woman: black/white; white/black: Any combination, any age, any time. As has rightly been said above it is often insidious and begins as general 'putting down' robbing the person of their self esteem and self respect so that by the time the physical stuff starts the person has nowhere else to go, does not believe they can live without the other person and half the time is convinced that the abuse is their fault. I have acted for people who have left their abuser time after time. The police stop taking action, people stop listening. They've heard it all before. The spiral gets deeper and deeper and then gets passed on to the next generation. It's tragic. It is very important to get the message out that people who are abused, raped, assaulted etc ARE NOT WEAK. They are not bad people and they are not failures. Like everyone else on the planet they have made some bad choices and it is NEVER TOO LATE to make good ones. Speak to as many people as you can and let them know what's going on... families, friends, counsellors, doctors.... anyone who can help in any way, even if it is only to give evidence later on that you have told people about it. If you are in the uk there is a law called the Protection From Harassment Act which makes it illegal for anyone to act in such a way as it puts another person in fear for their safety or in such a way as it threatens, harasses or pesters another person. This is the so called 'stalker' legislation. It is also a criminal offence to assault someone (an assault can be as simple as a push or even a slap on the shoulder), threaten to kill someone, put one or more people in fear for their safety, incite hatred towards someone becuase of their race, colour or sexual orientation..... The point is the legislation is there. THe police often don't want to do anything about it and will even tell people that there is nothing they CAN do but this is because so many people in relationship situations back out before it goes anywhere. (By the way if you make a statement to the police about any criminal offence they can proceed to prosecute even if you later withdraw the statement). However, if pressed they have to. If the police won't or can't help then go see a solicitor and get and injunction / restraining order. More than anything believe in yourself and that it is NEVER ok for anyone, no matter who they are to make you feel worthless or abuse you physically or emotionally. It is NEVER your fault. Oops sorry... slipped into rant mode.

I wish you peace. May you find it where you will. May it rise from the most unexpected horizons and bless you with it's gentleness in your darkest and most violent hours. I will not seek to excuse or condemn. I will not seek to caution or turn aside your purpose. No trite words, no empty sentiments. I just wish you peace at the end wherever that may be.

Purple flowers sway Scented air filled with sighing Underneath, coffin. Nostrils flared, eyes wide Pulse racing with deep desire Open vein, fresh red blood Morning blush, birds sing Tangled sheets cold but fragrant Scent of last night's love This is harder than it looks. Oh well... never claimed to be a poet

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Hope you don't live in he UK because it gets so much less fun when it's legal

I think that the only reason he was considered evil because of the parcelmouth was because of the association with Voldemort. In the very first book Harry speaks to a snake in the zoo and sets it free... that snake was pretty cool. The basilisk isn't technically a snake... in fact in some legends it looks something like a chicken and one of its 'common' names is cockatrice. He is kind of snakelike in Harry Potter world though. I don't think that a spell to call a snake would be dark magic. It would be only natural for a Slytherin to call a snake because it is associated with his house anyway. As far as the three unforgivable curses.... well they are unforgivable for the same reason as anything else in this world is unforgivable.... because those in power say they are. When I take Voldemorts place as head of the Death Eaters and grind those namby pamby softies into the dirt they will, of course cease to be unforgivable. I might have to outlaw Alohamora though... my secrets stay secret and my doors stay closed. Oh and I think that Sectum Sempra is WORSE that Avada Kadava... same result but so much messier.... I think I would tend to use this one as preference... have a thing about blood in case you haven't noticed

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
