Alain Delon!!! First, he would be quite old, second, I personnally know a woman who slept with him and he is definitely not the perfect man archetype from her comments. To tell you the truth, I found him handsome prior to these comments and was disappointed, she killed my imagination. But to me, Delon would not be the archetype anyhow, with or without the comments.

personally, I desire to not swap spit with either of them.

...Same in Quebec, and same in Paris by the way. In other word, you would understand me quite well Araucaria. Give me a brake Araucaria.

Hi Flash, I just love teasing you, it works every time

This conversation reminds me of one I had recently. This was my take away:

“ENTPs do not usually take such discussions personally, even when they strongly disagree with one their friends – ENTP personalities tend to argue for the sake of intellectual stimulation instead of seeing this as a way to establish their superiority.“

It was good to read up on this again. In light of the recent “stuff”, it put into perspective about people going on and on about something that to me was 'open and shut' sooner. I’m an INFJ, so it explained why some are passionate on the forum. “ENTP personalities tend to argue for the sake of intellectual stimulation.”

ENTP personalities - Extravert, Intuition, Thinking, Perception
VS
INFJ personalities - Introversion, Intuition, Feeling, Judgement*

(Judgment preferred to perception: INFJs tend to plan their activities and make decisions early. They derive a sense of control through predictability.)

view of the hundreds of stuck vehicles in Suffolk County, Long Island, NY. This is RT 25 through the area near a walmart. Many have been stranded since yesterday evening! Some were rescued by snowmobile. Near 30 inches of snow fell with drifts 5 feet or higher.

Wow

A Jackson Pollock guitar? I suppose it is art, but I think I prefer just plain ole wood.

Dalida, stayed at my in-laws' hotel in Barbados. She gave me a signed copy of her album, in vinyl, ....I didn't like the music so I gave it away. Long ago.
Funny how you keep posting people I've met in person.

Wow

What I can't understand is the dumb bunny part of being out there in a car, in the first place. That I personally stopped being that kind of foolish, easily before the age of 10.

Not always an option for some slaves of their respective corporations.

That said ... perhaps we are foolish to put ourselves into such a position in the first place ...

... but I digress.


(btw - nice numbers)

Dang - you missed out on some of the most fun, and educational, driving opportunities - speeding around in ice, snow and blizzards bad enough to keep any sane person off the road, and any less practiced driver in the ditch .

I got caught in my twenties, a couple of times, in blizzards, in foreign countries.
Every dire adversity happened to me back then. Each time I got saved at the last moment...

What did I learn? How to study weather maps, and even satellite pics. How to be informed...
Knowledge of the bigger picture...it does help.

My my Avalon, I've missed you guys! Just got back from a fun-filled trip to London with my two Spanish housemates which I referred to in an earlier post. We saw loads of interesting things including a fair few museums, and of course, Westminster. We also took an eye-opening trip around Notting Hill - it's interesting to see how those "in money" live. A 4 bed house there averages £4 million from a quick look online - and I can see why!!!

Naturally, on the last day I was dragged around "shopping central", Camden Town, and we ended up with some almost irrelevant items including a t-shirt with dragons (i love dragons D and a patriotic "Keep calm and carry on" fake-zippo which you can see below.



It is said that God is in the detail, and now I know why. If events had occurred significantly different to how they are now, then I wouldn't be where I am now, nor would I be meeting all these lovely people.

What a gorgeous cat! Nearly lost mine the last week, got poisoned or something I think. He's coming around, though still in rough shape. Used up a life already methinks --- he's only 5 months.

I have a rwd vehicle and I love driving in snow and ice, my car likely doesn't though

When I was about 16 my dad took me out and drove onto the ice covered lake and said, "ok, drive. Lose control then regain it." And I did that for about 15-20 minutes, never been afraid of diving conditions ever. That said, I'm race car driver at heart

In the photo, the road is completely filled with cars. Which means that the snow was dumped in about 5 minutes or less, or...lots of foolish people sequentially got on to the same road, over a period of time. That none of them knew how to turn around or get off the road.

I'm not seein' much intelligence goin' on there, as tidbits of data that can pull a 'sequence of events' out of that photo. I'm also thinking that they should have had at least some experience with snow?

But I must also say that I am a snow survivor -that winter has killed friends. That the lessons where hard earned. Costly, in some ways. That those who where stuck on the road have learned some lessons.

When I look at such a thing, I think of someone saying to me that they can't get off the sidewalk, due to the 3 inch curb being too high. that they are afraid and don't know what to do. That the sidewalk has surrounded them and they can't escape. I'm at a loss for words.

I have regularly driven on closed highways. Closed due to snow emergencies. last year (13 months or so), I drove 300 miles on a closed highway, and then came to a situation where two trucks had collided while falling backward down a slippery road/cliff, and then had to take an alternate route. The alternate route was REALLY crazy. Worse than the closed highway. I did a 700+ mile one shot speed run in blizzard conditions, half of it on closed roads, the rest on ice and snow. So intense that people in this thread even dreampt about it.

Once again, here's the tune I listened to for quite a bit of the run, as a form of helping concentration, which could not waver for a second. It was tense, it was fun. (some people have strange ideas on what fun is.)

Meet the groundbreaking new encryption app set to revolutionize privacy and freak out the feds.

".... groundbreaking encrypted data transfer app that will enable people to send files securely from a smartphone or tablet at the touch of a button. (For now, it’s just being released for iPhones and iPads, though Android versions should come soon.) That means photographs, videos, spreadsheets, you name it—sent scrambled from one person to another in a matter of seconds.

“This has never been done before,” boasts Mike Janke, Silent Circle’s CEO. “It’s going to revolutionize the ease of privacy and security.” "
