Have you ever wanted to stop time?



I did, once, and no-one noticed, so it was switched back on.

Have you ever stepped bare footed into the snow, or wanted to?
Yes, I have, walked straight out of the sauna into 25 cm of snow and dove right in.



What, not counting airplanes and helicopters and such, is the highest place you've ever been to?
If life seems jolly rotten
there's something you've forgotten
and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing

from Monty Python's "Life of Brian"
Just over 10,000ft roughly 3050m, halfway up the side of Mt. Kenya.

If you could have one wish, what would you wish for?
That my love I share with the ones in my life would never go away. I fear that more than anything.

Have you ever just left without thought of where you are going and where did you wind up?
I have, and I ended up... Well, I started in the city centre of Glasgow. My friend and I were bored, so we jumped on a bus and ended up in Linwood, which was about 20 miles away. We then got on another bus, went to a public park and sat on a hill smoking joints.

What's the meaning of numbers? (Bet you thought I was gonna say life!)

Numbers. They're used to count and to identify. To calxulta and measure. And sometimes we ourselves become numbers, in the burocratic mill, in healthcare and wherever we go.



why do we need signatures?

because it is like a very sloppy or overly fancy thumb print, they will never be the same ever.

Why do we have so many different career paths?
Because we want to be happy where we work smile and not have a job that makes us unhappy :P

What is your biggest blooper?

That has to be the time that I drowned. I was underwater and just couldn't get back up to the surface, and when I died, the last bubble of my breath sounded like "bloop".

Have you ever died?

No, but I was badly beaten and once. Had to be in the hospital for three days. Worst of all, the man who did it came to see me and I couldn't do anything about it. He was one of the policemen taking a statement from me.

What is your longest stay in a hospital?
Wow, that's horrible thanks for being brave enough to share.

I think I was in hospital for a week, getting my adenoids out ( small lumps of tissue at the back of the nose, behind the palate.) I saw a UFO whilst in there.

In work or school, have you ever had a leader, rather than a boss/teacher?

What food source do you think will be the answer to feeding the world...

What food source do you think will be the answer to feeding the world...


No single food source can do such a thing, for many reasons. They include the fact that there are peoples living in vastly different parts of the world who have evolved so that their basic food source, which is right for them, is not possible should they leave that environment. Yes, totally simplified, I know, but this is an ask and answer situation. Still, there are some things that cannot be answered fleetingly or taken lightly, at least for me.

If you wish for a single element in reply, there isn't one. But the starting place would have to be a reliable source of fresh, clean, drinkable water for all people, and that it be available without political control or restrictions.

Shower or soak in a tub?


Without question or hesitation a long soak in a hot bath (tub). As an arthritis sufferer some days the only way I can get respite and release fom the pain and discomfort is to soak for as long as possible in the bath. My idea of heaven on earth at times!

Holding hands in the dark or kisses by moonlight?
Why can't I do both? I like holding hands, I feel it can be far more intimate than lots of folks think. Kissing is fabulous. If I had to choose it would be kissing in the dark or anywhere. I believe kissing is how our spirits talk to each other.


Spanking or not spanking.

All hail the great Molly! (wanted to use the bowing one, but can't find it.)

Spanking, of course! It's not only fun, but good discipline for both the spanker and the spankee.

Lager or ale?

Are women, in polygamous marriages, happy?
Quote by AriesDragon

Are women, in polygamous marriages, happy?

Again a question with no simple answer. I think that it depends on how and why the marriage is polygamous. I can imagine women (and men too, I see no real difference here) to be happy in it, when it is fully open and with mutual consent. More so even, if it is a shared thing, where all partners love eachother equally.

When however it's a secret thing, it most likely happens while there is something missing in the marriage, meaning unually unhappines causes it. Even then, a person can be perfectly happy, cheating on his her partner.



Why do people travel on holiday, when they don't even know the beauty in their own country?

Because of the old notion that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.

What little known place in your own country have you visited, discovered the beauty of and would recommend to your fellow citizens - or to foreign visitors?
Oh my word, don't get me started! so many places to choose from... my country is so beautiful, amazing and diverse.
There is a place in Kenya, called the Matthews range. It is a chain of mountains, in Northern Kenya, the highest point being around 2500m/8,200ft, that run from Samburu in the south, around 200kms to the wild lands of South Horr and southern Lake Turkana, in the north. The slopes and valleys are clad in thick virgin forest, creating critical oases for wildlife during the dry seasons, and contrasting with the dry dusty plains of the savannah, stretching away from the mountains on all sides. It is very remote, and most of it is only accessible on foot, or by helicopter. It is one of the last remaining, truly wild places, that we have here.

If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would it be, and why?
My heart knows, but I'm.not saying.


Do you like sugar free gum?
I don't like any kind of gum, so no, I don't like sugar free.

Would you rather have a manicure or have your hair styled?
Neither..lmao.

Do you believe in karma retribution?
No, I don't.

There is a girl that is about to get prank, what do you do?
If she is a good friend, and the prank could be harmful, then I would tell her..

Do you think $100 is too much for a Kobe steak?
Not if you think it is worth $100 dollars. I would not pay $100 for any steak. I know people that $100 could be a tip. It means less to them so they would. Me I eat chopped steak. I can almost afford that.


Is the internet, texting, twitter, facebook and these type of electronic media isolating more people from real human contact? Is it a trend we should be concerned about if so?
