That sounds very like the G word that we're not allowed to utter LW so I suggest you get it out of your head right now! And be told, lady! You are neither useless nor baggage!!

And I'm sure we all know that feeling of not knowing who did/said what when...I certainly do!

You been told yet?

Thanks BZ I shall consider myself well and truly told.:p

BTW, did I hear something about someone getting married?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

bz you snuck in whilst i was typing those bridesmaid dresses are beautiful very similar to the butterfly ones my sis had from next, they were a bargain compared to bridal shop ones and looked gorgeous on

welcome fairydust07

Those dresses will be ideal with the butterfly theme BZ, did you ever get to see the tins in Lakeland? I was in there on Monday and saw them - You would probably need to make a few - but I'm sure that being creative, you could position them artistically - so they look like they are following each other IYSWIM .

Unity-- sounds like you might enjoy attending a Unitarian service you should try it, maybe. I'm Unitarian/Buddhist/Earth-centred pagan, myself.

I went to a funeral about a year and a half ago and can't remember if it was a Unitarian or a Humanist and there may be a world of difference (you know what the fog is like :rolleyes:) but I was really impressed. I know that people always talk about a 'celebration of a life' - but for once this wasn't at all the overly sentimental type of thing that I for one am used to.

So this is what morning looks like!
Tis funny, neither myself or my Sis have any real memories of our childhood - not coz anything traumatic happened that I know of! I think it's possibly coz we moved around so much with Dad's work.

I am attracted to the buddhist philosophy of life - sort of, first do no harm approach and gotta love karma!
We've done sex and now religion, about the ony thing left for us is politics!

I have GP appt this morning and then taking Dad out for lunch (give me strength and patience).

No doubt I'll be back later when the brain is working properly. But who knows when that might be *grin*

When did we do sex? :eek: Did I blink and miss it or was I absent that day :rotfl:.

I've been avidly watching "Around the World in 80 Faiths" with Peter Owen Jones and isn't he a great find? A bit like a religious Keith Floyd - eccentric and a real character. It's on BBC iPlayer if anyone is interested, alternatively BBC2 Friday 9pm. A fascinating programme that among other things - shows how in the Far East many religions co-exist with a phenomenal degree of tolerance :eek: - Buddhists worshipping at Hindu shrines - because they also respect the Hindu Gods - wonderful :T. I too have always been interested in Buddhism - but I found the programme that included the Taoist philosophy really intriguing, so much so that it's another thing on my 'To Do' list of things to investigate.

As to politics - well there's a thing :rolleyes:. I was once regressed by a hypnotherapist (still not sure what I believe on the re-incarnation issue - whether it is tapping into the Collective Consciousness or really a possibility) but I had some very vivid memories/imaginings of being a soldier in Cromwell's army. Whether this accounts for my antipathy towards the Royal Family and 'Popery' is another matter. I suspect being taught by nuns was probably more to do with the latter :undecided.

I have now officially lost the plot - but then if I have to try and keep track of more than half a dozen posters on this thread it was always an inevitablility .

So to all the newbies - welcome, please don't think I'm ignoring you - I am certainly a little batty - but unlike the furry little 'Children of the Night' my radar is completely b*ggered .

To my fellow Pagans and everyone else, 'Blessed Be' and 'Love and Light' .

Unity - Nope, we have very close links with the British Humanist Association. There's not a lot of difference between basic Unitarian beliefs and humanism, just that we as a group tend more toward spiritual humanism than secular.

Thanks for this. it is wonderful to hear someone mentioning the similarities between Faiths, rather than the differences :T there may be hope for us all yet :rolleyes:.

See, I read this and as I was scrolling down, the next words I came across were:

I've been avidly watching ... and my mind was boggling!!

We talked about libido way back in the early days.

just quicky to pass time before jab later as getting very very nervous!
Welcome to the newbies -we are growing to a nice big group.
Unity hope your friend is okay today.I had a radical mastectomy nearly 5 yrs ago and mine was a grade 3 and stage 3 and l am doing well so hopefully she will to.
Finding the chat on religion interesting -think l lean towards humanist ideas.My daughter teaches Religious Education so have enjoyed reading some of her books about different religions. It looks like its far more interesting than when l was at school any many years ago!
Well better go and take top up of pills to hope they kick in for the jab!
love to all!

sharon, believe me, you've borne worse than the jab.
I'll be sending sweet thoughts your way at 4.20pm. Take yourself away to your happy place and if there's bubble baths and choccie cake there, all the better!

Bad news from GP - can't go on HRT as am at too high a risk of stroke due to CV problems. She's gonna try me on Chlora summat or other to see how I get on.

Trialia, I make no apology
