Love and Marriage

Go together like a horse and carriage so the song goes.

There are many sayings about getting married.

One is…

Marry in haste, repent at leisure.,

I met a guy about two years ago. Within one hour he had proposed marriage. It put me right off,as No was the answer, he began to send countless emails. I really became fed up. He belonged to the church referred to as,The Moonies’! ( images above). It is a Korean based sect, and the reverend Moon chose ‘compatible’ partners for his followers. Huge weddings took place of 2000 people, who were told who their partner would be and they had never met before. I met some couples from that church and they seemed happy. So proud they had a chosen partner!? I can’t imagine anything worse than marrying someone I had never met before. Even if someone I had met, a lot of boxes would have to be ticked.

Recently, many places had storms and flooding…this couple went ahead with the wedding, and waded in waist deep water along the aisle, to marry in their  expensive clothes.

Did you court your partner? Have a long engagement, live together pre marriage?

I loved being single, probably the best choice for me.

Katie Price a model dumped her new husband, he had claimed to be a millionaire, but had lied.

Would you marry for love or money? There are many reasons for divorce. Many broken marriage vows!

Many Asian countries arrange marriages, some work beautifully! Suppose I am too western for such an arrangement.

Two have to work together for a successful marriage should be a partnership.

What are your opinions for a marriage success?

Most people love a party!
They are a chance to let your hair down and forget about the trials and tribulations of the world for a while.
And no party is complete without plenty of party food and cake - gluten free, of course - so bring it on!

And Monday is a special day for a lovely lady, as it is Lian’s birthday, so even more reason for a little weekend celebration!

So, let’s have a little party of our own here, sharing some great toe-tapping music, party GIFs, and memes that bring a smile to make everything extra festive this weekend and into Monday.

Have a lovely weekend, Lian, and happy birthday for Monday!

It’s party time, everyone! 🥳🎉

Dreaming

I have been on a fruit and veg diet for a while.
A friend of mine works in the butchers and has been delivering six packs of water to me in our ongoing heat wave.
Thought I should at least buy something as I kept going into the butchers asking him to deliver six packs, so I bought a steak.
I gave up meat some time ago as it seemed to invoke really colored dreams.
I ate half and had a highly colored dream, all colors of green. Just to make sure that bit was the meat causing those dreams, I ate the next half, next day, and sure enough a brightly colored dream again….Looked on the internet.
There is a tick called the Lone Star, one bite causes dreams, if you eat meat. Was sure I hadn’t had a tick bite so went to a specialist. There is a protein in meat that causes dreams, especially red meat.
Previously I gave up coffee and sugar. Never eat chocolate, those foods cause dreams.

There are other causes of dreaming too, some supplements, medicines or drugs, stress or strong emotions.
Do you analyze your dreams for the meaning? I’m not sure all the examples are true but that can be fun.
Do your dreams or premonitions come true…yes!
Some dreams are fun…like flying. Some people dream in black and white and others in color. I’ve always dreamed in color.
What do you dream about, do you enjoy dreaming? 
Do you have nightmares? Do you dream of people that you know or strangers?
I often saw my dog dream of running.

A wonderful dream..The Little Prince

So post music, memes, gifs, chat with friends.
Most of all enjoy!

Here we go Loopy Loo…All on a Saturday Night

Some people make you plain crazy. Sometimes I think the world is a crazy place! Just look at the news, and the things some people do.

There are lots of words to define crazy..or lunatic. Many accidents happen on the roads during a full moon.
The Scottish say Dippy do lally.
Scatty, out of his box, beyond the pale, nutty, nutty as a fruit cake, screwy, a screw loose, cuckoo, mental.

There are so many different types of crazy, and insanity.

That’s Bananas.

Sometimes I have something in my hand and the next moment, its somewhere in the universe, and it can’t be found.

Many words for mental hospitals asylums….Loony bins, funny farms, institutions, etc.,

I used to live in one..it was the nurses quarters, dont worry, two villas for the staff, at the top of the hill a building that was even more beautiful for rich, dotty, old ladies. It was a really lovely place but had a bad history at one time.

You can be crazy about someone, crazy with them, they can drive you nuts. 

There are some great movies like One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest

Trailer: One flew over the cuckoo nest

Loony tunes.

Even the weather is crazy

Do you have some good memes, sayings, stories?
Post music and chat with friends, post gifs or trailers.

Enjoy…Lian and Kieran
