Stained glass is MUCH easier than you'd think. Just requires quite a bit of tools and supplies to get started. Worth it though!!

Now that I something I csn't understand. If a man raised his hand to me in anger, that would be the end of the relationship.

Swords like that are sexy, but killing or maiming with a sword is a much more personal act than firing a gun. I was raised by Irish parents who hated guns. My father told us that if we pointed a gun at someone and it was empty, the devil would put a bullet in there and make it go off.
He hated the cowboy era when we all had toy cap pistols and wore them on plastic holsters with cowboy hats and boots. I remember one day my sister had caps in her pocket and they went off with a lot of smoke and noise.
I thought about taking up fencing at one time. Not as self-defense, but for the exercise and graceful movements. I never carried when younger or wanted a gun in my house.
Hitler was careful to make sure Jewish people were not able to own firearms before the Nazis started knocking on doors and taking people away. They would have thought twice if they feared their knocks being answered by someone pointing an assault rifle.

I don't speak to the person who assaulted my friend.
They are still together and she brings him to parties. I was at a party one day and he was expected.
One lady pulled me aside and told me that if I was "packing" and wanted to just get rid of him, everyone there would go to court and swear that he started it and I shot in self-defense.

I am a huge fan of Jaipur, especially of course the Taj Mahal - a wonderful testament to love. If you are fortunate enough to have your own driver and guide, you can avoid the queues, hawkers and crowds somewhat to take in the history and majestic beauty.
I also love ****et, we avoided the main tourist areas and stayed at a wonderful hotel with a completely private beach - they set up your sunbeds, have a cafe on the beach for lunch/drinks etc - the water is fantastic for snorkelling and the exotic fish will be swimming at your feet once you are six inches into the water! It's a great place to learn to scuba dive and Ian and Tom got their Padi's while we were there. We also chartered a boat to a private island and the hotel sent a staff member with us for the day -truly how the other half lived LOL!
Bali was fun
Gambling in Macau was fun - like Chinese vegas only the food was better!
Hanoi was an interesting place to learn the "other" side of the Vietnam war - there are "guides" paid by the Government to follow foreigners around in the museums etc and tell you how bad the Americans and French were!!!
Hong Kong - dirty but lively city - wouldn't want to live there because of the pollution and the Chinesification - but a great place to go for a party weekend
Where have you been, Jost - I'm sure you have great reviews! Expat life is truly a gift ...

Cute! I lived in the days when macrame was the thing with flower pot hangers, etc. Made lots of them- I was a flower child and active women's lib person. Almost made it to Woodstock. Did do communes and the painted bus. Those were the days...

Maybe after some wine! About 10 years ago we were somewhere along the Mediterranean. We had been on the beach for about 2 hours and hubby suddenly said "your Dad would love it here." I rolled over, lloked around and knew why. I was the only woman with my top on! At the time I was 250 and not about to take my top off!
