    Dennis! That was me. But I'll be all right in the morning.

    Hi ~

    That was a one naughty choclate party, I am glad enough is left to pack and send to other parts of the world where anyone who may feel the need for something sweet can have some. Bless Armenia ~

    Ulli, You did something good here.. and so skilfully and wittily and lovingly. You provided at times the tough love and the soft love, and the many stars and moons in between. here is a place (within a place) that allows one to put thier top clothes on the hanger, and simply relax and feel comfortable the way they are, as the wedding vow goes - in sickness (a passing learning state) and in health (our natural state!)

    Thanks for allowing me (and others, I am sure) to lurk into the village from time to time, it is the best update place to see what is going on with other members.

    I wish you many more blissful years to come and that you will go from strength to strength

    And thanks for Mara who is the real choclate cookie here (admit it) for adding her own sweetness to the life of our grander village unifyer.

    Long live world villages ~

    Ulli, in Belgium we say: bloemetjes (flowers) buitenzetten (put out) for profound partying...

    Wonderful picture! Well, okay, that was my last dance on this side of the planet.

    I for one did not see this birthday coming – or only indirectly. My bookmark was at page 97 of Jung’s Synchronicity, at the point where he has just turned the triad of classical physics, space-time-causality into a tetrad or quaternio, with the addition of Plato’s ‘recalcitrant “Fourth”’, which turns out to be acausality, better known as synchronicity. This concept, he says,
    Quote makes possible a view which includes the psychoid factor in our description and knowledge of nature – that is, an a priori meaning or “equivalence”. The problem that runs like a red herring through the speculations of alchemists for fifteen hundred years thus repeats and solves itself, the so-called axiom of Maria the Jewess ‘(or Copt): “Out of the Third comes the One as the Fourth”.
    As the Village embarks on its fourth year, may I wish many happy synchronicities to all?

    Oh, well, too late for the party, as usual, but I enjoyed reading.

    Me too, I do pop in and have a look here at times.
    I'm an up-and-down lurker, so I miss things now and then, but I can live with it

    So these were the Boozy Chocolate Rum Roca Cupcakes with Almond Roca and a buttered rum glaze......



    Don't worry, I'll put that lone cupcake out of its misery.


    All my love to the villagers and non villagers

    Clean up crew here and now with big brooms and garbage bags. Just in case some missed this request early on from Marianne:

    “… Although I've learned now to ask that the pain be lessened--with me, it's the angels who I see, I feel them around me when I ask….”

    A continuous stream comes your way, Marianne…

    Love,
    Paula

    Quote Posted by Marianne (here)
    ”…BTW, a beautiful villager suggested I let you all know I'm still having problems, continuing and increasing fluid around the other lung. Got another drain, ouch. Although I've learned now to ask that the pain be lessened--with me, it's the angels who I see, I feel them around me when I ask. The very day I started doing this (because this one hurt a lot more), the pain was much less and lasted only a couple of seconds, compared to an hour the first day. So anyway, I'm asking for any healing energy, prayers, whatever you got, to finally resolve health issues.

    This stems from not eating enough protein, which is important in keeping water in the bloodveins and out of other parts of the body. It does happen with a big surgery like I had…”

    "Costa Rica - Tangled Manta Ray asks for diver's help"

    *All rights reserved / Todos os direitos reservados.oceanovideosub@gmail.com*


    We (Thomaz Monteiro and Flavia Passaglia, from Brazil) were diving at Bat Islands, Costa Rica, when this peaceful manta came. Brian Thompson (from Canada) gently cut the net fishing and now the manta can live with no pain.

    Important: We picked up the line. It's our trophy now! Brian, the diver who cut the line, gave a little piece for all divers there! Enjoy the video, Thomaz Monteiro.

    Here and Now, Now, Now!!!

    "CASE DISMISSED" : )

    ...another chapter closes, thank you very much.

    When I totaled my Daughter's SUV(no one got hurt) at the end of February...it was my 3rd and last seizure and then got full medical attention and analysis and here I am driving and building once again!.

    The court case dragged out until this very day...it was dismissed but I had to pay two $50 fines(failure to stop and negligent driving)...they had to get something out of my hide. The judge asks "Daniel, how much time do you need to pay this?" My reply, "None, I will take care of it right now" So I was directed to the court cashier.

    Hasta La Vista, Baby : ) Thank You Very Much!

    Love! Love! Love!

    ...
    And WILL All You Villagers that have some health issues Get Better, Right Here and Now, Now, Now : )



    gggeeeeessssshhhhhhhhhhhh I almost forgot...
    when I engaged my truck in gear to leave the court parking lot guess what time it was?
    Yep, 11:11 !!!
    ...and at the first set of lights I pulled up behind an animal hospital van...guess what number was on the plate?
    Yep, 11 !!!

    Sorry that i missed such a wonderful party. I still want ti thank Ulli for being our host all these years and all members for being so present. And so present to each others

    My excuse is however the best to justify my absence: training on a new job and i think i will truly enjoy it (most probably my last job in my career) and mostly BEING IN LOVE so no time left lollllllll. And a daughter reacting to losingg her mom's constant attention. It was time!!!!

    My life seems to be changing altogether, and for much better.

    Thanks to all here for the constant support. And yes, meeting an extraordinary man can happen at a later age.

    So these were the Boozy Chocolate Rum Roca Cupcakes with Almond Roca and a buttered rum glaze......



    Don't worry, I'll put that lone cupcake out of its misery.

    Taken a few moments ago...

    Now we know why there was only one rum cupcake left.

    Here and now...Costa Ricans and other Central American countries are celebrating their Independence from Spain.
    193 years.
    Looking at the crowds in the streets from my car window...on our way to lunch...I am wondering if anything will ever change.

    Thumbs up Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?

    18:45 South London returning home with my Sun I look up a bright object zooms past us visable for about 4 seconds just enough time to excite myself and call to Keenan to look up.
    It was white, A stunning sky blue (like no other shade of sky blue I have ever seen) & yellow seemed to have a trail as if it where breaking up.
    Anyways just wanted to share whilst fresh in my mind!
