    Love

    Shot by cupid's golden arrow,
    First pain, then pleasure.
    Caught by soft silken threads,
    Strong, and unyielding  as steel
    Bound tight by loves fetters.
    Lulled by loves sweet Siren call.
     
     
     
    Drugged by kisses tender with love,
    Burning, with hot fiery kisses of flame
    Seduced by thoughts of kindred Souls united
    Love eternal, found again. A broken circle.
    Made whole, complete, rejoined.
    Found at last,  in the misty corridors,
    Amidst the wandering maze, called time.

    I have just seen the above film. I found it really enjoyable, if thought
    provoking. Mind you if the scale of abduction is as common as the
    film claims, you would think Seti would have managed some sort
    of contact by now. Mind you NASA is pretty busy right now, between
    Bombing the Moon, and hunting Microbes on Mars. Never mind 
    having to reassure the public about the film 2012. Mind you there
    seems to be a deafening silence about this one. Funny really, when
    you consider claims by Astronaut's of having seen UFO's. Mind
    you not surprising that a good conspiracy theory, can give reasons
    for that. There certainly is a good one out there.

    After word on 2012

     
     
    This is a picture taken by Space Telescope of a distant Galaxy.
    Obviously not the one  in the story. I read in the paper about a
    Vampire Star, in the constellation of Puppis about 250,000 years
    from Earth. It seems it swallowed up another Star, and now is
    on the verge of going Super Nova, and now is a ticking time Bomb.
    The plot of 2012 was a Star going Super Nova that would nearly
    destroy Earth, not the usual Asteroid impact scenario Just thought
    I would share this with you all.
     
    Luv R

    Mayan Calendar 2012

    I decided I had to write a Blog about the above. This is due
    to the fact that coincidence  took a hand I  read about  it three times
    one after another.(if not an omen what is) The first was a mention of
    the Film, which seemed entirely up my street. The next was
    a Professor using the argument, that because his calender ended on
    December 2010 he would not expect the end of the world. (I feel he
    missed the point.( he could have bought a five year desk Diary)
     
    The Maya where an ancient Civilization who existed in Guatemala
    they had advanced knowledge of Maths, Astronomy and writing
    They were precise observers of the Heavens keenly aware of the passage of time. Their long count calender lasts for 5,000 years and
     This ends on 21-12-2012.  This  is on the Winter Solstice of that year. The Sun is in alignment with the centre of the Milky Way, for the first time in 26,000 years ( what a way to end with a bang)   NASA do mention that Solar Storms are expected from 2012 till 2014 but they will be no different from usual ones.
     A Mayan Shaman also states that it will be the end of the Negative 
    and the start of new awareness. The Earth will suffer a period of
    hunger, wind and thunder. Seem correct at the moment.
    Mind you there have been recurring cycles of Destruction in the
    Earth's Past. Is it a warning we should listen too.
     
     
    The other view point is it is to do with the rising awareness of
    the Human Consciousness. This ties in with the Age of :Aquarius
    the change from a more materialistic world to a more Spiritually
    aware one, a mind shift in fact by Humanity Which would in fact
    bring a new reality to the Earth
    What ever your view point the arguement is likely to last until
    2012 anyway?
    Luv R

    Small Things

     
    Some times we are too busy with our lives
    to stop and think about the beauty  that surrounds us. We are too involved with the
    problems and stress of our daily lives. Wether
    it be work, family or friends. Yet it only takes
    a moment to do. If we pause, it is well worth the
    effort, it is indeed food for the soul. We feel
    much better after doing so.

    Changing

    Flowers and Roses MySpace Comments and Graphics
     
    Just decided to change my page
    again today, I have got the urge
    to do so again. It  would probably
    be easier to just change my site
    name, as a lot of Space friends do.
    But that would be too easy. I just can not resist going into graphic
    sites and looking for new pictures.
     
    I think it must be something to do
    with my nature. I like to be a square peg in a round hole at times. Contrary  is probably the
    answer. At least if I am an addict,
    I have managed to find an addiction that no one else seems to
    have. Talk about being ahead of
    your time.I will be the  first person
    to have such an addiction, and of
    course will have to organise a self
    help group to deal with it. Never
    go near your page, is not an option.
    I must go now to consider what
    such a group will be called, and
    work out psychiatric guide lines to
    deal with it

    Walter seems to be under the impression that everyone wants to
    hear my views on Windows 7. A
    case of love is blind probably.
    He is the one who can judge how
    good it is, in relation to his programmes on his computer. I
    just fly from flower to flower, tasting
    the Honey. Wandering from site
    to site, usually feeding my addiction for useless information.
    Or in a quest for new graphic sites
    that I can leave on friend's blogs.
    I must admit that I am impressed,
    so far with Windows 7. I would
    give it 8 out of ten at the moment.
    (No I am not being paid by Microsoft
    to write a rave review) I expect that
    some problems will appear in due
    time. In their Email, Windows Team
    say they listened, perhaps the
    flood of abuse helped. I am now
    actually prepared to believe, that
    they did.(no remarks like how Naive)  The sun appears to be
    shinning in Cyberspace, long may
    it continue.

    Hope this proves True

    Master Of Destiny comment
     
     
    Hope this graphic proves true,
    Walter has just installed Windows 7
    for me. Every thing seems to have
    went smoothly. But as we all know
    the proof of the pudding is in the
    eating. He just used the update
    version on mine. The only snag was
    there was a slight problem with my
    wireless connection. Do not know if it was caused by BT or Windows but
    he did get it sorted. I find it a bit
    strange at the moment, but it is just
    getting used to it. It does seem to give a faster connection, and I did
    notice that downloads appeared
    much quicker, and it seemed to
    be able to configure updates much
    faster. I am managing to do this
    Blog, without it having disappeared
    into Hyper Space, even though it
    was saved as a draft. When that
    happened a bit of bad language was
    likely to occur, because I was trying
    to remember the Blog I had just
    written, I was usually of the opinion
    the blog that vanished was always
    a lot better than the one I had to
    re write (do not say none of your
    blogs are good any way)
     
    Must go now

    That sort of day

    frustration.gif frustration image by 1stclass_everest
     
     
    It has been that sort of day. I spent ages trying to get a Text
    word generator to do what I wanted. I did succeed a little bit. Then
    I was looking for a nice sign saying Please sign my guest book, but
    I went to loads of sites and could not find one. Afraid that is
    a bad point in my character, if I can not have exactly what I want,
    I will do with out first. Then again you could say I am stubborn
    and determined and do not give up easily. Mind you I usually
    manage to get what I want eventually. Patience is a virtue, and
    I do have plenty of that.
    Will go now

    I could not resist

     
     
    Halloween
     
    I just could not resist when I saw this graphic, it just called to
    me I had to have it. Between this graphic and me definitely a
    case of fatal attraction. Although you know from the film, what
    trouble that can get you into. Mind you I enjoy throwing  caution
    to the winds at times. Usually I always work out the pros and cons
    of any situation before I act. In fact if there are two solutions, I
    always look for the third, I tend to think three dimensionally, which
    since most people think two dimensionally can be quite annoying.
    (you can ask Walter for confirmation).  This is the case today,
    I have been thinking of going for Windows 7, its advert says
    "to make your PC simpler more reliable and more responsive"
     
    Perhaps it will be a case of out of the frying pan into the fire
    Or unlike Setti have managed to make contact  with that Alien
    Life form which is Microsoft. Their Space Craft has finally
    landed on Earth. I will keep you posted. If you do not hear
    from me during the next few months, it will obviously be a
    case of Houston "we have a problem".

    Eureka (or who is a clever Girl)

    Gothic and Dark MySpace Comments and Graphics
    MySpace Comments - MySpace Layouts - Photobucket

    For all you beady eyed, bushy tailed space friends who happened to
    notice that I am leaving pictures on my own guest book
    No  it is  not that I am feeling deprived, since no one else will.
    It is because of yesterday's blog, and I was determined to find
    a solution to the problem of graphics that will only allow you to use
     the code to access them. One solution is to use a page of your Blog to
    put the code on. Then when picture appears just copy it This
    solution works about fifty per cent of the time. I was practising
    with my own guest book, as I did not want to find all my friends
    mysteriously had vanished, as I had just ruined their site. I
    was still not happy (no  chorus of are your ever) so I started to look
    for another way, which would be easier. I prefer to take the easy
    way first, if possible. The next answer was use your site page,
    If you put it on to  your page , it is easy to copy using right click.
    Then at the end you can replace it with a grapic you want.
    I do not advise to do this with your favourite grapic, unless you
    have shown foresight and already downloaded to your photo bucket
    album so that it can be easy replaced. Of course if anyone has
    found an easier solution, I will not be offended if you share it with
    me.
    I am at sitting here looking smug, if I was a cat, I would actually
    be purring at the moment.

    Good Advice

    5.gif
     
     
    I think the above photo gives good advice for us all. Everyone
    of us has different problems we have to face in our lives. If
    not at present, then at some future time. I am of the opinion it is better to laugh than cry, if you can possibly find some humour
    in the situation it does help. Mind you at time's this can be extremely
    hard to do. Life enjoys giving you a knock out punch. and then
    waiting to see if you are able to pick yourself up. There is  no
    point in Bitching about life not being fair, because it usually is not.
    We are meant to learn from our mistakes, and hopefully we do.
    Although at times it appears some people never do. Try and bear in mind that there is always someone worse off than yourself.
     
     On a more cheerful note, Space's is actually behaving itself
    today, it has been running smoothly and actually being helpful,.
    I have managed to find some new Graphic Sites, that's were I found
    the above graphic. The only fly in the ointment(do not be silly, of
    course there is always one) is that two of them can only be used
    as my Site Graphics, as only the code must be copied. I am now going
     to proceed on a quest to see if I can find a good explanation of how
    this can be done, so the picture could appear on a Guest book.
    Mind you I am also prepared to find it turns out to be like a Grail
    Quest. The answer is never found.

    Part Three

     Although we were in the  main causality room, in a cubical
    mother still had to continue her wait to see a Doctor. She spent the next two hours screaming and shouting abuse at staff who walked
    by the Cubical.   How she did not lose her voice is still a complete
    mystery to me. Why the Staff did not sedate her is also  mystery.
    It was about three in the morning before she was seen by a Doctor.
    He tried to ask her questions but of course got no answers. It does
    not say much for the intelligence  of some Doctor's. I explained the
    situation to him, and he decided to keep her in Hospital as she was
    badly dehydrated. She would have to wait, for a bed. So with great
    relief we said we were going home. On the way out, a Doctor said
    sweetly, it was nice to see  how well behaved she was with us. I was
    so relieved at being able to go Home I just smiled and agreed with
    him.(He is still completely unaware of what a lucky escape he had).
    Who says God does not look after fools and innocents
     
    We spent the next few days visiting mother in Hospital, this
    passed completely without incident. Possibility because she
    had been sedated and was sleeping at the time. I believe from the
    report I was given by the Nurses she raved and screamed all night.
     
    She was eventually discharged from Hospital back to the Nursing
    Home. This lasted for approximately twelve hours, then I received
    a call from the Nursing Home. They had to phone the Doctor and he
    wanted her back in Hospital. This was the night before we were
    going on Holiday.They phoned at ten at night, but they were waiting
    for the ambulance, and would ring back and let us know when it
    arrived.The call eventually came at twelve and we had to go to the
    Hospital. Mind you they seem to have learnt from the week before.
    She was in the main room when we arrived. :The Nurses then asked
    us to wait in the waiting while they did some tests. We had just
    sat down, when they called us back in. Mother was sitting up
    ripping the Heart monitor off her chest. With some difficulty a
    blood sample was taken, then her blood pressure was taken. It
    was not helpful mother asking for a drink of water, then spitting it over
    the blood pressure machine. The next few hours passed nosily , with
    insulting remarks about the Staff and screams to liven up the place.
    How my Mother did not lose her voice I will never know. Why they
    did not sedate her is a mystery to me. When mother was eventually
    seen by the :Doctor, who managed to foil an attempt to strangle
    her with her own Stethoscope. After that the Doctor moved away
    from mother considering  no further examination necessary. Unfortunately she did not move far enough, mother took off her slipper
    and flung it at the Doctor, and of course managed a perfect Bulls Eye.
    She usually could not hit a Barn Door. Walter's kindly comment that
    she was lucky it was only a slipper, did not seem to go down too well.
    :The Doctor decided to admit mother to Hospital. We left after
    informing them that we were going to Spain, and  would not be
    in contact for a week.We arrived home completely exhausted at
    five thirty in the morning.

    Part 2

    Fireplace
     
    Thanks for all your nice comments about part l
    The day of 'Wallpapering started without any problems, Walter went
    off to collect our volunteer. They arrived back at house,  with her older boy who was working with Walter on some photos, but unfortunately her youngest age three was with her, as her mother was unable to mind him.
    Her  elder boy agreed to take his brother into bedroom while he worked on computer. We went ahead and  cleared room where necessary. and
    assembled pasting table, paste, brought in ladders and were ready to start.
    She had just put paste on first strip of wallpaper, when loud bang, and
    wail occurred. Concerted rush to door way then occurred. Big Brother
    appeared with wailing child who had big bruise and deep bleeding
    cut on forehead. Seemed child had fallen off bed, and hit head against
    bedside cabinet. Child and mother taken to local hospital by Walter.
    Two hours later they return, child proudly showing off stitch in forehead.
    Rosemary then makes lunch as everyone now hungry.
     After lunch  we proceed to start papering. Snag number two, we had just  intended to paper over old paper as with it being new bungalow. it had only the one layer of paper on it.(I like to take the easy route if possible)
    This would not work, previous paper and new reacted with each other,
    with hate and loathing I might add. :Wallpaper had to be stripped, go
    hunt neighbour who had previously offered loan of stuff to strip wallpaper. After neighbour hunts out equipment to lend us. and a
    spray you added to help remove paper. we were ready to start. Great in
    theory, unfortunately no one had told wallpaper it was meant to
    co operative with this. Wallpaper sneers at attempt and refuses to
    budge. Nothing else for it old fashioned method (bucket of soapy
    water, sponge, and manual paper striper. Rosemary leaves volunteer  in living room attacking paper, while collecting more soapy water to
    attack paper in porch.Rosemary proceeds in a berserk rage to attack
    paper in porch.It never stood a  chance, when Rosemary loses it she
    really does it extremely well, and never takes any prisoners. Paper submits after overwhelming massacre. Clean up  porch then return to help in living room. Paper in living room was not cooperating very well volunteer struggling,Rosemary then goes berserk in living room, volunteer looks on in amazement. (at least I hope it was amazement) Wallpaper removed, and bin bags filled with waste paper, a pathetic attempt by paper of breeding strips on floor to create more mess. Eventually papering is started. It takes until Seven at night before
    living room done successfully. Volunteer taken home exhausted, to recoverwith happy thought she had to return in a few days to finish porch.
     
    Returning home, phone ringing, dive to answer phone, news Nursing Home Trying to contact me. Mother is going to be  taken to hospital via
    ambulance with member of staff for check up as they are worried as
    she was not taking any liquid. :Rosemary thanks them for information
    and sit down with stiff drink to admire living and recover. Second drink
    and two hours later Home phones, Mother has been dumped in waiting
    room to wait to see Doctor, member of staff has been on twelve hour
    shift and waiting for me to go up till Doctor sees Mother. :Apologise to
    Home and grab coats and go to Hospital. Mother in wheel chair ranting
    and raving. in between making comments insulting about other members
    of the public. :After two hours of this, the waiting area already had
    had three and a half hours of it.:Rosemary demands to be allowed
    in causality to talk to Doctor. After in forming doctor of state of
    affairs, and they had to get mother out of waiting room, as massed riot
    was likely to occur, not to mention I had had enough out there. Doctor
    lost debate how long she was actually waiting. I returned to waiting
    room. Within five minutes a nurse appeared to assist in the removal
    of Mother in wheelchair and us, not without some hassle and remarks
    and screams from mother to encourage her efforts.
    Mother was installed in cubical after eviction of another patient in the
    main causality. The wait to see a Doctor continued...............

    A quick post

     
     
    Cats Comments For Hi5
     
    :For all  my Space's Friends.
     
     
    I have not been on line for a while, I have been having a time of
    it. It all started with a simple little trip to a Church Auction. Very
    enjoyable but bad mistake. While there I just happened to spot
    a Victorian style fire place. It was a case of love at first sight, I
    could just see how lovely it would look in our living room. Walter
    was rather unconvinced, after a little time ( probably 50 seconds)
    He came round to my view point. Then of course we had to stay
    for all of the Auction, as the fire place was the lot near the end of
    the Auction. We arranged delivery for the next day.
     
    Rosemary , very sensibility had arranged to spend the evening with
    Joleen in Belfast, and not return to Sunday evening. A bottle of wine,
    and a few DVD's very enjoyable. Walter just had to remove old
    fire surround, and install new one, maybe not very enjoyable, but
    you cannot make an omelette with out breaking eggs.
    When I returned fire place looked really lovely in living room.
    Slight problem, of course, wall paper was torn removing old surround. This meant of course, that we had to replace wallpaper.
    This meant that we had to go on a wallpaper hunt, to find wall paper,
    that would look nice with fire place. After tour of several wall Paper
    shops, Rosemary found the perfect wall paper, the fact it was  in
    a sale reduced from £20 per roll was an added bonus. We just had to
    arrange for a Friend to put up wall paper.
     To be continued......

    Standing on the Headland top.
    Tall brooding and alone,
    Made of dark. weather beaten stone
    A sentinel, of earth sea and sky.
     
    Often draped with gauzy veils of  cloud
    Or covered in Fogs thick blanket.
    Caressed by moon beams silvery light
    Hugged by the the suns warm light
     
    What hidden secrets do you know.
    What wonderous  tales could you tell
    What is the mystery hidden there.
    For that is what I yearn to know

    Thought of the Day

    Universe Is Unfolding
     
    I was just wandering around different sites, basically just to
    see what I could see. Working on the principle you never know what
    you find until you look. Mind you that is usually how I approach my Blogs.A blind faith that something will turn up. I find it usually does for me.It could be a case of fools and innocence, or a case that faith can move mountains. Or is it a case of thoughts have power, and I manage to find something because I expect to do so.
    When you think about  it there are so many thing in life that we
    take on trust, and expect them to work as they should. Whether it is
    switching on a light, we expect the electricity to be there and the bulb
    to be working. (but of course you must have the basics in the first place) Even in relationships the basics must be there, if they are
    not there then it can not work, or will not last. I wonder is this  a
    reason for  many of the problems people have in life. They
    have forgotten a house must be built upon a firm foundation,
    if built upon sand it will collapse.
