I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.~Diane Ackerman.I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path. ~ Dalai Lama."Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. --Une Personne Française Anonyme."Ello! Thank you for dropping by to visit. As an (Adult) TCK of the Foreign Service genre ~ and a INTJ for good measure, I'm just another citizen flea (genus: kosmopolitês ) of this savage little planet . One who divides her time between Toronto,On. Raleigh, N.C. and London, England. I use the word "dazzling" in my moniker to honour my late father. It was his nickname for me ( Dazz) when he was happy with me. It reminds me to try and do my very best - mind, most days I'm more zazzle than dazzle."I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." ~Umberto Eco. I Joined TBD1 on July 12th, 2008 (it was founded in Sept. of 2007) and on July 13th, 2009 we migrated to TBD2 ~ on the island of Ning. It's a story. Thank you Robin. Who are "zoomers" ? We are Canadian "boomers" . . . with "ZIP" ! Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZoomerMedia and read all about us!
Hey Daz, you're looking as good today as yesterday...Are you ready for the weekend????? I think I'll go to the country fair this weekend.
If I get incredibly inspired I might do some cleaning around the place.
What are you up to???
Hey there ........... ................Congrats. on your group For Women Only !!!! All the best women of TBD all in one place!!!! Hell Yeah it's a great concept!!!! I know how deeply you care, so I'm glad you took the initiative. Looks like it's really taking off - Right On! Way to go Zoomer - "zoom zoom" !
Yes its one of those NING apps. I use 1club.fm because its a free streaming music site and they play all the genres i like..im big into electronic music..techno,ambient,trance, breakbeats and so on. Starting a group for Sci Fi sounds like a good idea. Thanks you have a great day
Yes thank you for your welcome,I guess way have a differant way of life over here which sometimes gets wrongly interpreted but this adds to lifes rich parcel
I am Honored also appreciative of your kind request
is there a initiation ceremony that goes with this ?
i'm fine as long as it does not involve a chicken lol
Oh that's straightforward enough or should I say straight backwards in my case
i can't say thats a position ive been in before but it's a small price to pay, quite looking forward to it
Yes indeed, it truly was an honor to serve you and crew aboard the Lady Z. And yes paradise did take the " nose dive " a year ago. Things haven't gotten much better, but at least I have my sanity and my daughters. Divorce is on the horizon, paperwork to be filed 1st week in August.:) first drinks are on me!
Sweetheart. No one has the right to speak for you by lambasting others without your permission. She was totally wrong. You did the right thing. Let them figure it out themselves. You did. Most people are jealous and just want to be hurtful. This should be a fun place, it used to be. Not one that hurts. you. Come back to face book. We miss you there.
No I wasn't a member of the former TBD..I am brand new dear..have lots of friends of mine that were TBD'ers and they invited me a long time ago to joined....it was difficult due to my assignments..I am a photo-journalist, and travel around the world finding new sites..old sites..places that trace our history from centuries..is my way of living and my passion ..love to share my pictures and enjoy the comments on them..it is a way to learn..it is a way to see different perspctives and different train of thoughts..will publish soon my photography book ..called "a Nomad's Journey" and another one "From heaven to Hell" and "Strolling, reflecting, loving.." so I am working hard in that project with a couple fo friends of mine..cheers,
Candela
Thank you so much for the lovely flower and birthday wishes. You made my day very special. What have you been up to? Are you in Raleigh? I know your always very busy, thank you for thinling of me. I miss you.
Hey Diana, Nothing special, just the usual weekend chores. Clean some things and ignore others. LOL For some excitement I may go grocery shopping. I'll probably have to lie down after that bit of fun.
So what fun are you planning? Will you need bail money,,,,again?
Hi Daz, I actually did some dreaded hated shopping today. My favorite jeans kind of sort of dissolved. A few holes you can live with but they ripped where one could get arrested. I'm sure it would be a misdemeanor.
BTW what's TSD? I found some suggestions here
but none seemed to exactly fit. Enlighten me.
Yes happy Sunday to you as well. I saw that you are also an Aries, no wonder we hit it off. We'll kill each other somewhere down the line but will have a hell of a good time getting there.
Hi Cap'n Dazz, Thanks for the note - I miss the Lady Zed, too. Whatta page you have here - can't wait to get back on broadband and explore! Many Hugs...
Ahem. Yes. Well. You know - poo = doo . . . it's why it's" PooH Bear" and not " Poo Bear". (Americans - sheesh - one is always explaining the English language to them lalalalalalalalala /;-P tee hee ).
I noticed that I was being "featured" but I bribed no one. Don't know how I did that, any more than I know how I got to be a "founding member" back on TBD1! If anyone ever asks, I'll recommend you!
friday... jess and i are taking the kids swimming at her dad's apartment in the morning, then we are going to go to lunch.
i was thinking maybe we could pick you up after the swim? i will have the kids afterward... or maybe i will take them to hang with india.
Hi, I'm still in Okinawa (unless that is the home I'm welcome to- here is my blog is you want to see some pictures! grin!) http://purpleworms.blogspot.com
omg! those aren't doc martins - they are honest to goodness vietnam era jump boots and the other ones are more recent jungle boots.
i have to say, that comment thread was out of hand. it's so funny. oh, btw, i guess you know i have things with skulls and knives on them because i want to instill fear in others too. it's not at all about i like the images. really...
as far as ocd is concerned, i had a slight altercation on the old site to do with gay marriage. it is funny she presents herself as open and modern...
stopping by to say hi on my break... and hoping you get only coherent types on your group For Women Only. I've read but of course not commented. Suffice it to say, it's not only the cat-trip I'm interested in!
