Newbs darling that was great. It is Friday evening how come you aren't down the pub,playing darts and buying tickets for the chook raffle. What are you up to? The sunscreen thing, marry someone darker so your children won't have to actually buy the stuff. My grandchild has darker skin thank Eri. At the moment his eye colour is not determined it is sort of a blue paint and brown paint mixed together, a colour I have never seem before in eyes. He is so lovely I sang to him this afternoon and he really likes my voice. I sang Summertime. It is so great having this living thing that grows and changes. I haven't been as excited since I had tadpoles.

You should hit my nite spot, no bastard wants to dance. I usually go there when I am hyper and pissed and I want to dance. I pick a partner and go for it. Elbows are great you can lean on them as well. Imagine not having elbows. Why do I feel I am 16 again and have been smoking weed all day. Cheekygirl I have never asled you this but who is your favourite Russian writer, I am talking the classics and w

Woz - come play with me - I promise we'll go dancing every night if you feel like it. Most times once I start dancing people come and join in. We have a ball.

Woza, I grew up surrounded by Russian and world's classics (well, whatever was translated into Russian at that tricky Soviet time). Of course it was Bulgakov, Tchekhov, Turgenev, Pushkin, Tolstoi... and of course Dostoevskiy. I don't really like modern writers. But oh well neither have I access to Russian literature nowdays: I'm a bit old-fashioned - I dont like reading books online. I like turning pages and feeling the surface of paper

Reading is greatly underestimated as a kinesthetic experience.
I can still recall the cover of the first book anyone gave me outside of my family. It had a thick, brown textural cover that was slightly furry. It was called 'Mara's Journey Home.' It's an important book to me for many reasons. The woman who gave it to me was at the time working as a waitress and housemaid in my parents hotel. In my pre-boarding school years and her post- European World War 11 years.
The story was about a girl, Mara. A Jewish girl who wanders through the desert enduring hardships and trials and in the end returns to a new world.
'Mara's Journey Home' never became a classic and my mother, bless her still beating heart, gave the book away when my family moved onto their next business.

Aiayyya - business decisions never take into account emotions.
I don't remember the first book I ever held - my mother read to me from the get go and she tells me I adored the "Little Red Hen" - but I can remember the first book I read for myself - a book about a Chinese acrobatic family where the father taught his daughter to be an acrobat and juggler. I spent many hours after that turning cartwheels in the backyard and trying to juggle plastic plates- why wouldn't my mother let me use the good china??
But I do date my fascination with China/Asia from that firstbook I actually remember reading. Probably around 4/5 years old.

Apparently so. Musta been asleep or drunk. Never made the connection before, but these guys resemble bouncing marbles. The reason I now know this is that Roger M's little Chinese grandson is here for his weekly play-date and he brought marbles to play with. They spent about 10 minutes rolling them around on the coffee table and bouncing them all over the living room floor. Good thing the kid has the energy and agility to chase them and pick them up. Anyway, here I am at the Saloon and the little guy spies the smileys at the top of the page. He really likes the bouncing marbles - we had to attempt to get his marbles to go up and down like the computer ones - and the (all boy, this one!) We had no water all day yesterday. I was too busy to do much in the way of cleaning, but even the bare necessities (like dishes) didn't get done. As much as I like spending my Sunday mornings here at the Saloon with multiple cups of coffee, I really need to go and get some housework done.

There is a birthmark on the underside of my scrotum that looks EXACTLY like the island of Hainan. Stop licking your ass and you won't notice it. I wish to hijack this back to the first page. This snappy repartee, above, is what sets this forum apart from the others. ;D Now that is teamwork ;D

Good for you Mr N, some of us think the only wars are the ones that affect us directly but there have been and are being now as we type.
Had a good day the weather is amazing we had strong winds last night that pushed all the pollution down to Hong Kong and this morning very low humidity, brilliant sunshine and blue skies and all that. Tommy had the bestest time I met with past students for a walk in the park and then lunch together. The park is really great. George I can't wait to you come here and I can show you around Dongguan. There are some great places here. In the afternoon I gave a demonstration class with a Chinese English teacher . God bless her and all but her pronunciation was appalling and her lesson dismal and totally unrelated for beginners. I feel bad about this but I had to mention this to my boss WTF is he doing? I also mentioned why doesn't he have my son do a Chinese beginners class? He can read write and has standard Chinese pronunciation. Met some great young people who are really serious about learning English and they were engaging, at these times I wish money wasn't involved but it is. He will think about it but I think it is about time that foreigners with good Chinese step up and do the job.

OK, my first two books. I was given them on the occassion of my sickbed, possibly dying, emergency surgery at the age of 4. My second such emergency.
I was given the observers book of fish, and a book called the ocean. I liked marine biology.
I couldn't help it. I was sick even then. Only facts. Keep your chicken little, I wanted somethign solid.

I bought a new baby today. After nearly recovering from last night, I pottered off to the computer market and bought myself a 3-in-1 printer. Colour printer, photocopier and scanner. A little portbale HP 1440 series. Not laser although I would have liked one, but I already have a B/W laser printer for stuff for classes.
Had it installed this afternoon and evening, and now am ready to photocopy or scan stuff to help with class preparation and to print my photos.
Goes with my new DVD burner.
I love new toys.
