You nailed it again Cass

I don't know how anyone can live up to the pressure Tiger has had placed on him by his "advertisers" - I often think the people we believe are living charmed lives are no better than caged animals being shown off in parades or events having no real choice in their
lives.

I cannot honestly say I could handle it - probably would become a heavy drinker or something to calm down as I am a fighter and I have to work at saying "cool"..... not doing a very good job of it either haha....at least most of the people here have patience with me...or try to !

Enjoyed our chat today...... Ooops forgot to add I have watched Tiger since he started getting more exposure while he was in college and was so thrilled he broke the "wall" of color in a game reserved for the wealthy - that's all
so much hogwash now and I love seeing all the characters taking up the game professionally - they make it seem far more interesting - and I have to give Tiger credit for opening the door for many who never thought golf would be a game they could compete with....

Hi again Cass

Agree on your last note.... the ones yelling are probably the busiest offenders! Life's a parody of truth in so many ways.

Had Tiger not walked out and hit the tree none of this would be part of the public discourse today and we'd all be looking forward to his next tournament....I think Elin probably had knowledge long before
this happened and because she has purchased her own residence in
Europe...maybe was going to take a break herself from him....

They are two very good people to have this mess in their lives....farra

Hi Cass
Thanks for the rep point (not certain but think it was you)...appreciate it....

Tiger has been my hero since he was a little kid... I'm almost relieved to know he IS human after all.

I know what you mean. I received a warning for pointing out someone's obvious racism. It was deemed a personal insult which, in all honesty, I didn't think warranted a warning. I've been attempting to avoid calling people out on overtly racist views. Apparently those views are ok here but confronting them isn't. Oh well...

It is frustrating beyond measure to try and debate some members here. When I can bring myself to do so I usually just try to ignore them.

You write well-considered and balanced posts. Keep posting. This place needs more insightful people who are good writers.

... and thanks for the rep :sun:

My apologies on the "spiritual knowledge" thread we were on today...You ask me what my problem was... I didn't mean to sound like a jerk,but maybe a smart A$$..I don't like entertaining Stratcat's thread because it is the same argument about proof,when it all boils down to it..If you answer my question then I will attempt to answer yours...

Ta for the rep - and the other one last week :sun:

i am going to the market to pick up somethings for breakfast. i will be on later. hugzzzz

that is very nice. being able to get away from the world. i travel all over when i feel like working. my wife gets crazy so i take her and the kids if i will be gone a while. she likes that.

where did you go for a year?
My wife and i and two kids just moved from Tel Aviv to Johannesburg a couple of weeks ago.

i have limited my time to a certain number of pages. i make that my goal. i write and have to produce so many pages before i allow myself to post. right now i am rewriting a screenplay and have to do 20 pages of rewrites and cutting and pasting before i can post. that works for me.

what is nice for me is i am at the computer working and all i do is lower one screen check my posts and go back to be writing for real life and not the forum. if you have actual things to do it can get very bad. lol

it can get addictive. i am home working and posting a little bit every so often. i am well.

how are things with you. i hope well.

Yes, you are right. You very well informed about inner political situation in Ukraine and at this time I dont know a leader in Ukraine who is not represent minority interests. Every leader is sponsored by some organizations or oligarchs. I support your opinion about Baltic staes, I have been to Latvia this summer, and my friends told me that all sugar-houses in Latvia were closed by decree of European comission, and they grounded their decree by telling that poduction of sugar is cheaper in south states, as a result latvians who worked in sugar-houses lost their job and now Danish sugar is for sale there, I dont know when Denmark became considered as south state. Everything happens as you say.

By the way, where are you from? :)

I do support your point of view about defference of minds on continents and countries.
Yes, Eastern European perspective its very interesting to observe. As habitant of Eastern Europe I see that EU dont want us join them, and there a lot of problems inside of our states as Ukraine,Russia,Belarus.And I understand that membership in EU will not give us a lot of perspectives as our authority says, but Ukraine cant stay out of any union and we must solve this question. I think that we shouldnt spoil relations with russia and we need cooperation with them, because of natural resources(gas,oil) of russia from which EU depends on too.Have you heard about Baltic-Black sea cooperation? I think it would be great for Eastern Europe states to create such economy union.

Thanks for compliment :)
I am studying polical science thats why it interested for me to be on this forum to understand view of americans on political situation in the world. Are you a student too?

Hi,Cass :)
I am very glad to find a good friend here as you.
I like your knowledges in russian language:)

I think Rudd is a genuine kinda guy too. Howard never had that...charisma? People like Rudd because he's normal - he went to a strip club and got drunk, and his popularity skyrocketed!
I dont drive so I wont have a car, back in Feb I had the sinks full and bags packed though. Will do the same this year, I think we'll be alright, but my city is surrounded by bush which is a worry.

I didnt see how he went on the international media, he probably looked a lot better than Howard would have. Howard would have mumbled and shook his head around like he always did, lol.
One of the fires came within about 20 minutes of my place, and about 20 minutes from my parents places. My town is high risk this summer, so we have to take all precautions.

We get heavy rain sometimes, usually after abnormally hot weather. Hopefully we get some storms this weekend when it cools down. We get the bushfires up here, you guys dont, I dont think, anyway. This summer we are all on alert because its gotten so hot so quick.

Hehe, the houses are nice, they look rather oldish, but I guess thats only in certain parts of the country. Does it rain there alot?

I dont think Id want to live there either, hehe. I havent been there but I wouldnt want to. The whole country sounds boring, actually, plus, I actually cant stand the accent. I had a pom call me up once and I couldnt understand a word he was saying!

It's 'foody' hehe. Darn Poms, is it just me or do they winge a lot? Especially about the poxy weather, they should come here, its stinking hot!
