gladly.. I think I can part with 2 or 3 cans

I do a mean pancake but you'll have to add your own banana's.. I'm not much of a banana fan *eesh*

quite possibly he does.. you know how chit goes.. passing trains in the night and all..

Sounds good to me! I'll do my own banana, I love bananas :D

I once fell in love with a Dutch Canadian during carnival.
He had moved to Calgary with his parents but came back to celebrate carnival in The Netherlands. That only lasts a few days, but was long enough for me to fall head over heels in love.
And then he went back to Calgary, leaving me heartbroken.
This man for me better not be him, hihi.

OT -------- nice sunny weather again, like yesterday :D
We had night frost which usually means clear skies and thus sun during the day.
Unfortunately it's supposed to get cloudy later on and snow is forecast.
Not a whole lot but 2cm is enough to derail life in The Netherlands, hihi.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts. Maybe next year I will be with 'the one', you never know your luck here in Mingle2.

Thank you all for the kind thoughts.

Maybe next year I will have found 'the one'.

ya never know Dut..

Crystal.. maybe it is him? wud that be sooo bad???
mind you.. Calgary is out west.. unless he's doin a cross country in sub-zero weather.. I'd say it's likely NOT him..

lets see if ma magic wand still has some juice in it to bibidy bobidy boo flippin to the new page.. hmmm

WOOT.. sha-ZAM.. still got it

I indeed do not think it is him. But there's gotta be more attractive men in Canada, hihi.
In the meantime I'm gonna keep looking here. Not sure if I'm cut out for Canada's cold. Or the amount of snow you can get.

Good thing you fixed the forum board again :)
You sure got the magick touch!

nope.. but I do got a magic wand


awww come on Crystal.. it's not THAT cold or snowy here
<- this guy lives WAYYYYYY north of me

Not that cold, huh?! I do think -30C or -40C is extreme :p

I always feel that white people in Canada, US, and AUS show just how adaptable humans and human bodies are.
All white people there have European roots and we don't have the extreme weather conditions here that you do have over there.
Somehow your European ancestors managed to survive and adept.

I never forget what my girlie told me when she lived in the US. She and her then US husband & family went rafting one day. For them it was nothing too extreme.
Halfway through they stopped and my daughter quit from doing the rest. Her husband found her childish for giving up.
But she was scared to death as the river was really grumpy -and she doesn't scare so easily- and for her it was physically way too much as well. None of the others, Americans, had a problem.

I think a few generations of hardship has altered people and their bodies? Made them tougher. They had to in order to survive.
Apart from that, The Netherlands is as flat as a pancake bar for a small part in the east. But we haven't got mountains or raging rivers, nor life-threatening wildlife etc. And no extreme weather.
Our fight is against water --> almost half of The Netherlands is below sea-level.

Nevertheless, nothing is impossible. I managed in Indonesia (stinking hot & humid), Australia (desert, at first freezing cold, then stinking hot & dry) and I manage to live with the sh*te weather we got here, haha. Lots of rain and always windy.
As long as I don't have to chop wood or shovel snow, hihi. I need a man for that

feeling tired from not sleeping most of the night.. hate when this happens

Crystal, we do have some extreme weather, moreso now with global warming, where we fluctuate between -40C to +40C depending on the time of year.. but I do believe you are right about adapting, humans can adapt to change when they feel the need to. To me it's that old saying "necessity is the mother of invention" that rings true, our poor ancestors got stuck here and they simply had no choice, survive/adapt or die and humans are firm believers in survival

either you need a male partner OR you can always hire someone to do that for ya.. OR.. you adapt

Yeah, I know.
But over here I do not have to chop wood, we have gas, gas main.
Before we had that, people used oil and/or coal.

We don't have enough trees for people to go cut them and use them for heating. As such it's not allowed either.
There are quite a lot of people with wood stoves these days but they usually buy -already chopped- wood. Quite expensive...
Nice heat though!

I actually meant, if I were to move to Canada ... then I'm not going to chop wood. Nor shovel a ton of snow. Not with my back & neck. And the chopping... I'd prolly end up with an axe in my thigh, hihi.
There's not going to be any moving unless there's a great bloke, hahaha.

I got gas too.. especially after eating pork'n beans
sorry.. couldn't resist



in Canada.. we have TONS of trees.. and have to cut some down due to age or interference with hydro lines etc so.. always ways to get wood to heat with without spending any money.. I have a wood stove too however, being my basement is still being finished (nope.. I'm not done YET) I won't use it for fear of burning the place down LOL.. besides even though I have the cement board to properly surround the stove, I'm not at that point so holding off.. that said.. I have a fair bit of cut wood ready for the stove.. and a mini chain-saw that works amazingly great at cutting even the thicker logs so ma axe is gathering rust
see? that's how I adapt

Feeling good :) Just finished painting.
Now it's deciding on what I want to eat for dinner.
All I know is that I don't want to cook, haha.

I'm with you Crystal. I could never understand why some folks a hundred or so years ago spent a winter in a place like Duluth Minn. and then said, "gee, this seems like a nice place. I think we'll stay here."

Great solution! I didn't even know there were mini chain-saws. (because over here I have no need for one)
But definitely a good option!
I still prefer the man though and have him sort it out, hahaha.
An attractive fit masculine man who knows how to treat a girl right, and a sex-drive that can vie with mine

Hahaha, I agree!
But in that sense one can wonder why the hell anyone stayed anywhere outside of Europe in those days. I mean, usually there were all kinds of unpleasant animals, whether bears, alligators, crocs, snakes, spiders, scorpions and whatnot.
And they were all chit scared of the indigenous people even though in many places these people welcomed them and even helped them survive.

So why stay?
I think I'd have run back to the ship I disembarked from, screaming bloody murder and "Mummy!!! I wanna go home!!"
Something must've been seriously wrong with those colonists, or their sense of adventure was of the scales compared to mine, hihi.

felt like i lost something in me

horny thats the truth
