You can curse because roses has thorns or you can rejoice because thorns has roses

Nothing is rich but the inexhaustible wealth of nature. She shows us only surfaces, but she is a million fathoms deep. R.W. Emerson

 

May brooks and trees and singing hills join in the chorus too

And every gentle wind that blows send happiness to you

 

 

Januari 10 already...

Time really flies but I wrote this so often....

I hope this year I create more.... start writing again and being more creative...

Soon more cause right now I just stare at the screen and there is no typing.

take care

Yesterday while I was working (am a cabbdriver, bring people away in a sharecab for a cheep price...) and while I was talking to one old lady the other on the front seat was talking to me also and the subject was so unclear and so unlogical... In fact it was pure nonsence and I have that often. A lot of people are talking and no-one listening cause they have their own things. People are so busy with themselfs and their lives and have so easily critics on other people while they make the same mistakes. Often I dont say much just say yes or mm. That is the best thing cause that is what they want from you.

And what are you thinking? Are they real thoughts?

Our lives are so full of stress and timelimits and fears and the little stupid things that we forget to live. I do too. The ones I am in Mother Nature then I feel a bit of life in myself! Then I can relax and know I dont have to work on that moment....

I am 43 years old now and totally inpacked in life. I must work to pay the bills and there is a lot of housekeeping to do also. So my best time goes to there. I spend a lot of time behind my computer and as an extra "gift" to myself I walk in the forest or go out and doing some stuff I like. That is my life.

I hope when I am older I look back and can be satisfied...

The most old ladies in my cabb are embitterd....

"Thoughts are free and subject to no rule. On them rests the freedom of man, and they tower above the light of nature...create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy from which new arts flow."

The winter of 2006/2007 brings us a lot of rain and the next week we have that again. Our grassfield is very wet and still you can feel the spring is coming.

Lately I was painting the bedroom and having a heavy cold but the next week you will find me more behind my computer and I want to walk a long time in my beloved forest near Zeddam!

Februari 27

For more than a week I promise myself but today I did it. A walk on another side of the forest!

The whole day it was raining but I walked there and all those memories.....

How I feel (from sad to happy) when I walked there and about my dog Sheena (German Shepperd) I had for years. We walked so many times there. At least once a day I took a walk...

What a dog Sheena was!

I remember all my other animals so well and today I really miss them.

All the sticks I thrown... Sometimes I took coffee and bread and stay for hours there! It was in this area I got the inspiration for my book about Sheira.

A lot of trees where fallen. Some pieces there where almost fallen trees.... A beautiful beech near this photo didnt made it either... And this is such a magical place in the forest. I love to being there...

A language instructor was explaining to her class that in French, nouns, unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine.

"House," in French, is feminine = "la maison."

"Pencil," in French, is masculine = "le crayon."

One puzzled student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"

The teacher did not know, and the word wasn't in her French dictionary. So for fun she split the class into two groups, appropriately enough by gender, and asked them to decide whether "computer" should be a masculine or feminine noun.

Both groups were required to give four reasons for their recommendation.

The men's group decided that computers should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computer"), because:

No one but their creator understands their internal logic;

The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;

Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for possible later retrieval; and

As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine ("le computer"), because:

In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on;

They have a lot of data but they are still clueless;

They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and

As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you'd waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

(Sociologically, this seems like a good example of a pervasive technology serving as a mirror to spoof cultural attitudes.)

We have now beautiful days. I worked a bit in the garden and enjoy the early spring flowers that are there. Green is coming alive and its great to see that.

This photo I took a week ago from a beautiful tree. You can see the sky is still gray but the tree starts flowering.

I am really tired lately. The work, not enough sleep and the start of summertime makes me feel that way.

 

Dear Technical Support,

18 months ago, I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from DrinkingMates 4.2, which I had used for years without trouble. However, theer are apparently conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off.

To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as LadsNightOut 3.1, Football 4.5 and Playboy 6.9.

Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better.

I tried a shareware program, Slapper 2.1, but it had many bugs and left a virus in my system, forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks. Eventually, I tried to run Girlfriend 1.0 and Girlfriend 1.2 at the same time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to my hardware.

I eventually upgraded to Fiance 1.0, only to discover that this product soon had to be further upgraded to Wife1.0. While Wife 1.0 tends to use up all my available resources, it does come bundled with EmotionalContent v55 and Cleanhouse2007.

Shortly after this upgrade, hoever, I found that Wife 1.0 could be very unstable and costly to run. Any mistakes I made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted. They then resurfaced months later when I had forgotten about them. Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary, Explorer and E-mail filter, and can, without warning launch, Turbo-Strop and Multi-Whinge. These latter products have NO Help files, and I have to try and guess what the problem is.

Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly, requiring ShoeShop Browserfor new attachments and Hairstyle Express which needs to be reinstalled every other week. Also, when Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Volvo C70 Convertible hard drive, it often crashes.

Wife 1.0 also comes with an irritating pop-up called MotherinLaw, which can't be turned off.

Recetly I've been tempted to install Mistress 2007, but there could be problems. A friend of mine has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0 detects Mistress 2007, it tends to delete all of your money before uninstalling itself.

Advice please

Yours Sincerely

Today marks the day that I close the Sisters of the Moon chapter. When I look through the guestbook I'll find it pity. But the reason is the mailtrouble I have and they didnt get any from me (but still I did my tasks) so they deleted me.

After exotic days the weather cooled off and the days continue. I want to do so much and today I made a start of it. When I can I read the english books of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Cool!

 

April 27th

What shall I now write? About how beautiful weather we have? How I wish that rain comes cause its so dry? About my work? Or animals?

Nah, today you may think and let your thoughts float by, today you can stare at this page and think what you want to think.......

And often I play Beautiful Goodbye from AMANDA MARSHALL

Fed up with my destiny
And this place of no return
Think I'll take another day
And slowly watch it burn
It doesn't really matter how the time goes by
Cause I still remember you and I
And that beautiful goodbye

We staggered through these empty streets
Laughing arm in arm
The night had made a mess of me
Your confession kept me warm
And I don't really miss you, I just need to know
Do you ever think of you and I
And that beautiful goodbye

When I see you now
I wonder how
I could've watched you walk away
If I let you down
Please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye

In these days of no regrets
I keep mine to myself
And all the things we never said
I can say for someone else
Cause nothing lasts forever, but we always try
And I just can't help but wonder why
We let it pass us by

When I see you now
I wonder how
I could've watched you walk away
If I let you down
Please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye

The garden is full of flowers and some plants take over other plants.

Life goes fast with days of work and computering. I joined several tag groups and have now a beautiful collection with my name on it.

Have much planns and doing a lot but still I have loads of computer work. lately I get not much beauty out of psp.

Soon we have the longest day here in holland. then the nights grows.

For me Abba is still magic. When there is an Abba song on the radio I smile always. From the start this group was magical and they still are. How often I play their songs.

July 24

Do you know the feeling you have to do a lot and yet not much came out of your hands? I am in the middle of that now. Plenty idears and a lot to do but not much complete ones. Guess I am not grounded enough.

Its summertime here but so far we get often rainy periods. Wonder how my vacation looks like. Have to work for a few weeks. What are you doing in your vacation time?

September 10th

Another year older and wiser? Ahum.

and border="0" height="270" width="310"> Hope you like what you see if you surf to them.

The summer of 2007 wasnt that hot. Often 20-25 degrees with enough rain.

Wondering what autumn would bring. I think a lot of personal changes. On moments like these I always want to peek into my future to see where I stand in life, what become of me.

September 14

With the song Beautiful Goodbye in mind (see above) Truus is in my thougths. She was a cat that lives mm about 5-6 years with me. I dont know how old she was. She died yesterday. September the 13th.

Truus was my link to the animals I had. Those are many. Cats and Dogs. She knew them all.

Truus was a chatter. So really streetwise. Beautiful and yet so hard to photograph her beauty. Truus loves to eat "exotic" meat. In her younger days she was the best mousekiller there was.

Truus was honest and discreet and always modest and so neat.

Yesterday she travelled to the rainbowbridge and I feel so lost without her. Her place is so empty and o wat do I mis her...

Last week I collect money for animalswelfare. I do it always and this time I had much streets on my list. When I start I must drag myself to do it. I dont like the begging. But then some gifts and good wishes from people ( I always get some nasty ones too) and looking how they funiture their houses I always finishing the job.

With the winter in sight Fido, my red cat,  likes me very much. He needs me then and overload me with hugs and love. In the summertimes he comes only when he needs food and then walk away even for a cozy moment. Such a strange cat.

I become also a volenteer for wild cat hunt. We captured cats who doesnt have homes and for the easy ones we try to find a home. For the hard ones we make sure they cant get more cats and I think we let them free cause no one dont want them.

11 November

Another new cat is here a week already. Her name Santi.

She is really different and strange in her kind of way. She is black and that makes difficult to get some nice pics. The first one she looks so beautiful and when I take the photograph she turned her head. You will see her picture when I can make a photo.
