surprise topic!!!!!!!!

what to do but force yourself to stay awake and enjoy a rather fascinating conversation!!!!!!!
so there i found myself sitting beside a very young chatty lady from romania who educated me on DRACULA.... based on a 15th Century King Vlad Tepes. they called Vlad Dracu (meaning the devil).
he had a rather nasty habit of punishing his enemies by chopping off their heads and putting them on a stick and it is this habit that gave him the name Tepes...
she also talked of his beautiful dark castle built in a mountain...it all sounded very picturesque...imagining the continuation of the mountain....and how the castle was built to protect Transylvania....apparently Vlad Tepes only spent one night at Bran Castle on his travels...she said he never lived there....
she went on to tell me how admired and loved Vlad Tepes was ....and how the children at school learnt of his bravery and victories.....
then from Dracula to the wonderful people of Transylvania....
she spoke of their kind nature.......easy going and calm!!!!!!
and then she shared a joke with me...
question:
how many snails can you see in an hour?
answer:
none...the snails were running to fast....

who knows maybe one day our paths will cross in Transylvania and i will visit Dracula's Castle with a very chatty happy Transylvanian guide....you never know!!!!!!!

nb: i am not a historian, this is simply a fun conversation i had with a stranger :-)
                                     

left sock right sock!!!!!!!

trying to figure out the left and right sock

is there a difference between the right and left foot??

or is there a difference how the foot owner wants it to be shown??

does one smell more than the other??

and if we were to colour them beautiful would they turn out the same??

can two socks end up on one foot while leaving the other bare??

if you wear two socks on one foot do you have to wash both socks??

hide and seek!!!!!!!!

my friend and i were driving past a park happily chatting away.....when i looked out of the window and saw a man playing hide and seek in the park....and then i noticed that he was playing hide and seek with his dog....who was pretty good at the game!!!!!!
                                                             happy happy happy dog!!!!!!!!
the other dogs around seemed quite envious and by the look of it.....would have gladly joined in.....shame maybe next time they'll be invited to play!!!!!!!!!

woven hair!!!!!!!!

washed ashore separated from the onslaught of civilized cleanliness
my shampoo and conditioner nowhere to be found
days and weeks roll by no reality inducing mirror can i buy
refuge from the sun and wind and crabs birds weave nests in my hair
from finches to starlings and pelicans and migrating geese a kransekake is woven
eggs safely guarded in the mesh of my hair a hundred hatchlings i am protecting there

can you see it??????

am i old or what????
everyone around me seems to have tattoos....
and if i thought i knew what tattoos look like i was in for a surprise....walking into this shop with
my friend....we met a lovely young person...she must have been 19 or 20 anyway....she had a tattoo here and there and we got onto the subject pretty quickly....between our visits to the changing room
and her fantastic eye for picking clothes that totally made us look....can't say slim but definitely healthy fit....she showed us her wrists where she had yet more tattoos which we couldn't see....it was like walking into the twilight zone....how can you have a tattoo if we can't see it.....
WELL....apparently you can get a uv light tattoo....
smart i guess for different reasons....BUT....i still don't get it....why would you go through the pain of getting a tattoo if you can't see it??????????????????
or maybe it's more special if you can only see it and enjoy it under an ultraviolet light????????
talk about being in the dark!!!!!!!!!!

his and hers!!!!!!!!

the perfect his and hers public loo....so he can splash as much as he likes and she can enjoy a clean and dry toilet experience!!!!!!

and the icing on the cake for those who can't squat lots of complimentary toilet seat covers available!!!!!!

nothing like a cleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean public toilet!!!!!!!!!!
and if you'r lucky they might even have some really NICE music playing in the background!!!!!

*it seems to be more and more common to share toilets with the opposite sex in public establishments so hope to see more of this.....
why why oh why???
maybe women got tired of watching the swinging doors as men walked out and in of their facilities....while women had time to take out a book or knit while waiting waiting waiting...........
