Welcome to ...

The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

On the subject of Golf:

Although it was originally restricted to wealthy Protestants, today it's open to anybody who owns hideous clothing.

World Up Close And Personal

Having started life when horses still pulled wagons into town for the farmer's market and airplanes still had propellers, I find the ability to 'chat' with people from around the world via the internet wonderful.

Just a few moments ago I was chatting with a young man in Maryland, USA and a young man in New Zealand at the same time ... that wasn't even dreamed of when I was a child - it was prohibitively expensive by phone and three-way calling was "not thought of" yet (it had always been around from the beginning ... every one knew 'Ethel' stayed on the line after she connected you to your party, but as a 'wanted' feature it wasn't even in the works then), and the only other means of doing so was by short-wave radio - a hit and miss proposition at the best of times.

Now though I can chat and have chatted with people from all over the planet. It is amazing how many people know some English. It also helps that I speak several other languages as well.

I can learn so much more now and that is vital to my makeup - always learning more. It is a shame some others can not do the same.

If you want to learn more use the internet for more than downloading porn.
