For those who know me, you will know that I recently proposed to my partner Cody. We have just come back from a holiday in Spain and he has walked out on me again. This has happened a few times in our relationship but this...

Opalrose Lose him. This behaviour will continue endlessly. A heart can be broken more than once. You can chisel away, until there is nothing left. He is showing no love, no sense of responsibility or committment. Is this what you want for the rest of your long,...

I have been gay all my life and really don't understand why women play butch and fem. Surely that went out in the last century in the 50's. I thought in this more liberated time and futuristic century, we had the freedom to be...

Opalrose Yeah, sad thing isn't it? They play these stereotypes in Sydney and in New Zealand. I am not sure what it is about. We are all individuals and inclined to dress as we feel comfortable and act accordingly. Surely there would be no joy in playing a role, when...

When people make racist comments... how does that make you feel? Well I've come across a few discussion or even conversations... people make such racist comments and it makes me want to smack them. People generalize a certain...

Opalrose I don't think you over reacted at all. I think you stood by your beliefs. We all over the planet are in a war with an Enemy that changes names continuously. War is wrong. Perhaps we should send the pOLITIONS to war and that would resolve the issues quicker. We...

Opalrose Gee, and I was getting so happy that with all the movement all over the world and the integration between our children, that we might finally become one world = human! No time for racism, we all bleed the same colour, I wish we would settle all our differences...

I can read at least 75 books. I don't have much time on my hands anymore to read, and I'm a fairly slow reader. It's still a pretty good number, though. How many books do you think you can read in a year.

Opalrose Hi, I can read a book a night if the topic is great. I read a wide range of topics, as I believe knowledge is power. On other nights it can drag over nights. Depends on whether the book stirs something within you, to make you search for the answer, or delve...

OK, gas prices are now "comfortably" settling in over the $3.00 per gallon mark. It's almost up to $3.30 in our area. Funny how fast it went up for the long holiday weekend! Let's see if it drops back a bit afterward. Anyway, I'm...

Opalrose You should live here. Gas prices are $1.40 a litre which is approximately the size of a largish coke bottle. Shouldn't we be working at alternatives to petro chemical products and petrol in particular. Have a look at the pollution, the rates of illnessess...

Opalrose There are many paradoxes in the world. It is meant to challenge our thinking and look at life in another way. Anything is possible. It does not mean that the explanation is easy to come up with. Reality is different for every individual. That is the basis of...

Opalrose I see your point and agree. We can all be dominant or passive. Hopefully in the ordinary individual, both parts of the personality interplay. Like any relationship, when one stumbles, the other takes over and is the strong one. I was speaking more about women...

Opalrose I work in a psychiatric hospital, and one of the patients picked up a chair and threw it through the window. The chair became embedded in the actual structure of the window, just hanging there. It did not break the window at all. It just hung in the glass...

I recently saw the movie "300", and was struck by its Fascist overtones. Here you have a heroic, militaristic, and virtuous leader who defies a democracy which is indecisive and corrupt. He acts preemptively to confront foreign...

Opalrose We watched the movie and thought it was very militaristic, with a strong warrior and aggressive theme. Sorry, didn't even occur to either of us to think it was America's way of stating ideas about the Iraq War. I was under the impression americans don't care...

Opalrose Hi, I learnt Polish till I was 5. Then English from then on. German for 3 years in my teens. Can speak them all, but English is the best. Probably, because it is the language of the majority of my current communication. It opens up one's mind to see how other...

Opalrose In reality, one needs to make a decision. I would go with the 5. Life is about Hope and survival of the species. There is always choice. I agree with the other writers, put yourself in the position. How would you cope? What would you do? There is a reason that...

Opalrose Yes, maybe it is making you think past the acceptable norm. It challenges your thinking. Or, maybe, reality is changing and you have caught a glimpse of it.
