Well that's interesting

Couldn't get it to paste but apparantly I am 0% sociopath which makes me
empathetic, loyal, and introspective.
In other words, there's no way you're a sociopath... but you can spot one pretty easily!

so why did I not spot that fact that one of my boyfriends was one then:)

You'll love this one:)

A forty something, having split from his latest girlfriend, decided to take a vacation. He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, that is, until the ship sank. He found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts.

After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore. In disbelief, he asks, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?"

She replies, "I rowed from the other side of the island. I landed here when my cruise ship sank."

"Amazing," he said. "You were really lucky to have a row boat wash up with you."

"Oh, this thing?" explains the woman. "I made the boat out of raw material I found on the island. The oars were whittled from gum tree branches, I wove the bottom from palm branches and the sides and stern came from a Eucalyptus tree."

"But, where did you get the tools?"

"Oh, that was no problem," replied the woman. "On the south side of the island, a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed. I found if I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into ductile iron. I used that for tools and used the tools to make the hardware."

The guy is stunned.

"Let's row over to my place," she says.

After a few minutes of rowing, she docks the boat at a small wharf. As the man looks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat. Before him is a stone walk leading to an exquisite bungalow painted in blue and white.

While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the man can only stare ahead, dumb struck. As they walk into the house, she says casually, "It's not much but I call it home. Sit down, please. Would you like a drink?"

"No! No thank you," he blurts out, still dazed. "I can't take another drop of coconut juice."

"It's not coconut juice," winks the woman. "I have a still. How would you like a Pina Colada?"

Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts and they sit down on her couch to talk. After they have exchanged their stories, the woman announces, "I'm going to slip into something more comfortable. Would you like to take a shower and shave? There is a razor in the bathroom cabinet."

No longer questioning anything, the man goes into the bathroom. There, in the cabinet, a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone. Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside a swivel mechanism.

"This woman is amazing," he muses. "What next?"

When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but vines, strategically positioned, and smelling faintly of gardenias. She beckons for him to sit down next to her.

"Tell me," she begins suggestively, slithering closer to him, "We've been out here for many months. You've been lonely. There's something I'm sure you really feel like doing right now, something you've been longing for?"

She stares into his eyes. He can't believe what he's hearing.

"You mean...", and he swallows excitedly and tears start to form in his eyes.........

Beautiful

We all have days when we don't feel pretty enough, our hair doesn't look right, our bum looks too big in that dress, my nose is too big and I have got to that time of life when the moles start to appear in the same places my mum and nan have them - Great!

It is difficult to remember sometimes that inner beauty is what counts not what comes in the wrapping of our skin, what we see on the outside, and I think that the picture from here says it all really.


Warning - drinking on an empty stomach is bad for your health

OMG

Yesterday just went by.

I feel like I have lost 24 hours not 1 today!

I went out on Friday Night. A Friend hits 40 in a few weeks and decided to have a meal and dance at the local Chinese. Now as I have been ill, it wasn't until last minute that I decided to go as Nigel had been invited as well and has been looking forward to it for weeks.

This, I stress, is unusual for my husband as he can be quite shy when meeting people for the first time and although he had met this particular group of friends before he hadn't met their partners, and usually his sense of humour can irritate some people.

So off we headed, got to the restaurant in time, ordered and sat down for what turned out to be a fantastic night, with everyone getting along and having a good laugh.

There was even a quiz the DJ put on as well where you had to guess the name of the song, the person or group who sang it and the name of the film it was featured in - you can imagine lots of "yeah you know the bloke who sang this one long hair - and It was by Europe, no survivor, no Europe! For some reason when the DJ handed the quiz sheets out he seemed to think I was the most sensible one of the group and handed me the pen and paper:crazy:

Anyway Got home in the early hours of the morning and I felt like death, I was so ill.. An yesterday it got worse! I couldn't stand without the room spinning and feeling sick all day, even sitting up hurt. Thing is I didn't have that much to drink compared to what I normally drink when I go out on the town and don't need to drive. I know I annoyed the waitress at one point because I asked her for the umpteenth time to refill the water jug and she had not long done so, mainly because I was drinking so much of it - even Nigel commented on that fact. I didn't eat a lot, but then again I haven't eaten a lot over the last few days either, so obviously it is not a good idea to drink wine when you haven't had a lot to drink - well gone are the days when I used to be able to do that with no effect on my head anyway!

Obviously as I get older the harder it is to keep up:)

Happy to say today I am back to normal, still feel sick but as I haven't been then that bodes well. I am currently stocking up on Vitamin C and Iron in the hope that will help a little.

It was a great night though, the type when you get a flashback that makes you smile and chuckle to yourself. And by the texts I got from friends the next day, they have been suffering as well so at least I am not the only one lol!!!
