Now I'm off to make my own post with a few additions. ;) 2007-06-10T23:10:37.886+02:00 2007-06-10T23:10:37.886+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=timethief&conv=607852&comment_id=11676406 timethief I am saddened to hear this news but so glad that J has you and the girls - a loving and supportive family. I have had to adjust to many limitations and to living with pain as well. It has been a very difficult transition for, just a short time ago, I led a very physical outdoor life. However, in the past year I have come to recognize that life is about so much more than the mobility and agility that we erroneously think defines us. When I came to that point I wrote this below and VOILA! I also found my handle. We’re all time thieves. We squirrel away into the corners of our hearts, special people, places and experiences that we borrow from this life; the life we borrow from the source of all love and all life. And, when the long cold winters come, these "nuts" are our sustenance. May you and your family squirrel many "nuts" to sustain you. Namaste, TT 2007-04-07T00:06:10.356+02:00 2007-04-07T00:06:10.356+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=timethief&conv=594672&comment_id=11353576 timethief I expect that reading this book will lead to some interesting dialogue right here on this blog and I'm looking forward to both the reading and the conversation. I haven't got a copy but I'm on the library waiting list, twiddling my thumbs. I've also been waiting for someone anyone to point out the the two most effective things we as individuals can do to address climate change are not buying hybrid, cars and changing to fluorescent lightbulbs. They are (1) choosing not to reproduce and (2) becoming vegetarians. But take a look at what a long way we have to go to corral those two sacred cows. http://timethief.wordpress.com/2007/02/04/livestock-generate-18-percent-of-worlds-greenhouse-gases/ http://timethief.wordpress.com/2007/03/27/commons-committee-shocked-by-childhood-obesity/ 2007-03-31T23:06:07.113+02:00 2007-03-31T23:06:07.113+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=timethief&conv=581392&comment_id=11048668 timethief Obviously Lydia went out of her way to get this to you and your readers. It's too bad she didn't read a copy of Nobody's Mothers http://www.heritagehouse.ca/press_releases/nobodys_mother.htm If she had then she may have thought twice about sounding like a braying donkey. To be clear I believe Lydia Lovric falls into the category of "troll" and IMO yourself and the others commenting have hit the nail on the head. This person did not supply her references and it's unlikely that she did any research at all. Moreover, she has the audacity to speculate on what older couples might feel as they grow older. Well, I'm among these older people and I do not regret my decision nor does my husband. In fact, we know 5 other couples of the same age who also feel absolutely no regret about their decision to remain childfree either. Moreover, some were actually interviewed for the book referred to above. The real question is the one rms poses: So why is she so bent out of shape about people who choose not to have children? Hmm, now that’s the real question. Maybe she’s the one feeling regret! On the other hand, I don't think trolls feel regret. If they did then they wouldn't demonstrate a need to seek out blogs like your own and abuse childfree bloggers. 2007-03-26T22:18:44.588+02:00 2007-03-26T22:18:44.588+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=timethief&conv=569169&comment_id=10793305 timethief At the risk of sound like a wet blanket there is no posting party up for that maniacal diatribe and your photos are disappearing so I advise: spam the sucker ASAP 2007-03-21T23:38:45.003+01:00 2007-03-21T23:38:45.003+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=timethief&conv=502201&comment_id=9157643 timethief Hi there I'd very much like to have you contact me by email. 2007-02-24T02:54:47.922+01:00 2007-02-24T02:54:47.922+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=timethief&conv=492418&comment_id=9125645 timethief testing the installation and operation of the update 2007-02-23T16:40:54.526+01:00 2007-02-23T16:40:54.526+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=timethief&conv=368147&comment_id=5155099 timethief wank you made me smile :) Some think the best way to learn is by succeeding through planning and forethought. Others believe we humans learn just as well from failure. But ahhh ... come on now ... don't be too harsh ... This was a well intended gesture. Adjustments can be made. 2006-12-31T03:02:05.851+01:00 2006-12-31T03:02:05.851+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=timethief&conv=297759&comment_id=4044767 timethief My beloved and your hubby apparently have exactly the same taste in wallets. What I did was ask a local leather worker to make one to order. That was 7 years ago and it's still going strong. As for my own wallet I'm fixed for life. At the same time I have beloved's made I purchased two actually designed for passports and traveling type wallets (one in black leather and one in brown). They were made to order and they are barely showing any wear at all. But perhaps that's because I'm so parsimonious. ;) Now as for watches beloved stops them cold. Yup he even stopped the gold pocket watch I bought him when we were newlyweds. And, in fact, he hasn't used one since. 2006-12-01T23:41:05.918+01:00 2006-12-01T23:41:05.918+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=timethief&conv=297121&comment_id=3732619 timethief I think the points you have raised above have integrity. I would like to respond to this point: "Did he take notes as the Angel Gabriel recited to him over those many years in the cave?" I am of the understanding that both the Apostle John (Book of Revelation) and Muhammad (Koran) had a third party write their visions down for them. If this was the case then even more the opportunity for mis-interpretation, mis-understanding and consequently error presents itself. Moreover, given the times and the backgrounds of both men it's quite likely that both were actually illiterate. If so then they would have been unable to read and review what had been written by their "scribes" for conceptual accuracy or accuracy when it came to the wording and phraseology choices that were made. What Christian and Islamic fundamentalists who worship ancient books have in common is clear. They claim the words written in them by men are God-given and without error and must be interpreted literally. Moreover, both claim their God gives them license to kill those who do not share their beliefs. 2006-11-26T01:21:03.021+01:00 2006-11-26T01:21:03.021+01:00
