Hi,
Deb here,
You know I not sure where you got your statistics’ from but I think there are a few more than 1% in the world of good honest forthright genuine people out there. It is just that corruption comes in many forms, bribery, win falls of money, being in the wrong neighborhood. People are scared; I was terrified after the two more…
The % of honest people in the world is below 1%(From surveys in 12 countries). This is why those who are honest suffer. As I found that it was impossible to live in a world where I could not trust most people, I have started the process to put together a network of honest people. The process is very slow. If you are interested, please send an email more…
I googled for my user name and got a hit on your blog. Apparently, you have commented on my post about Swedish names in American films. I was curious on what you had written, but I can't find the post. It would be interesting to know what Finnish names they use in America when they want a Fi more…
I like your Photos. I visit a zoo every year with my child (or even more often) and have to say my impressions depend on a season. It is really better to look at animals in summer when they are tidy and feel good because of warmth. more…
I am glad that your job interview was OK and like your optimism because when I was looking for a job, I was so irresolute... But still I had got it. Good luck! more…
I am not looking forward to winter eithers and it feels sad that it's soon here again. Here in Finland the winter time always seems to be so long. I like spring and fall time because then it's not that hot and not cold either and everything look so pretty then. Summer is sometimes too hot for me but not this last one because it was too short, rainy more…
Get well soon, and good luck with the diet. I don't know about you, but I'm not looking forward to winter--our leaves are changing colour here, already, and it's only the second week of September! more…
We had a day last week where the temperature, when I woke up, was only 4°C. Normal for this time of year here in Edmonton is about 6 as an overnight low.
Me, I am waiting for when it gets to -30°C. But then I like the cold. :D more…
If you want to watch TV you are going to have to watch digital TV, there will be nothing else. There are hundreds of channels, but the trouble is, the only new stuff is the News and that's invariably depressing. Other programmes are repeated time and time and time again. more…
Digital TV is something I really don't want to think about... I know I'm going to have to, but not yet. I watch so little now anyway, this may be the time to stop completely. more…
Yeah, I can swedish and what do you want me to write about ? Maybe something like Welcome to our school ? Ni är hjärtligt välkommen till vår skola. more…
Can you write Swedish? I have a couple Swedish students here at school. Could you write a nice note
to them, and they could respond? It would be nice
if someone from Northern Europe could write to them,
to make them feel more at home here in the United States. more…
I notice when I put an aqarium in the East that we got better health, like they say in the feng shui books so started to belive then and now I try to get little more mentors in my life and carees luck so maybe it helps me :>> more…
At first I don't really believe Feng Shui works. But then i attended a short introduction of it, since my nature of work requires me to understand the aspect of Feng Shui.
After a few experiments, I could see some positive results. The ying and yang, the elements of nature, still remain very mysterious to me. more…
I wish I'd done some Open Uni courses when I was younger. There doesn't seem much point now, and I can't really afford it anyway.
The narrowboat I'm buying is heated with a wood burning stove, and there is a timber yard nearby. It also burns coal. Electricity prices go up and up and more…
Oh dear. Sorry to hear about Kissen. It doesn't sound good. The advice I always give is to try to regard her as you would someone else's pet, and let her go when the time is right. I believe that sometimes pets will hang on for our sake, when we should let them go, so I always try to give mine permission to leave.
In my opinion happiness is being content. Too many people are unhappy because they are always searching for something new instead of being happy with what they already have.
As you said happiness means something different to everyone. :yes: more…

Oh, a year in Zambia--wonderful, but wouldn't you miss your family and pet?
As we say, you "had your cake and got to eat it, too"--American slang term, meaning you got your way in all things...in this case, your cake, ha-ha.
I wish you luck with the job, my friend. more…

Thank you Sally of your kind words. Yeah it's alwasy so hard when a pet dies. It feel so bad and you can't do nothing to help it.
I shall remember your words about thinking that it's someone else's cat. It might actually help little and I will give her permission to leave too.
I will keep my fingers crossed for you that more…
