17th, you can join TE on the naughty spot. Advertising herbal remedies is naughty.

TE did I say you could move off the naughty spot? Back you go.

With all the herbal remedies I think perhaps you could just float over the freedom spot.

You should come to Egypt for a holiday. When the young guys go to the coffee shop they get coffee, water pipe and spliff of hashish. It's like Amsterdam without the sex shops and prossies. You'd love it.


Okay Tao, you can get off the naughty spot now but don't do it again.

Well you can get all the culture and history you can take in Egypt and all seen through a purple haze LOL. The coffee shops are like the Turkish ones, male only and old guys playing dominoes. They are a cultural treasure in their own right. If you ever want to come just shout and my hubby will be happy to show you the ropes - but if you do he is NOT, I repeat, not allowed to do the purple haze thing, have only just got him out of that habit. ;)

I know of the Turk's shops. :) Honestly this sounds sweet.. There is so much to see and learn in Egypt... Truly amazing.... The only thing I will need to bring is hand wipes.... For touching the money... I know people that got seriously ill from touching money then eating with hands or whatever doing things with hands... passing on some crazy bugs lol.... If we met, I couldn't take your husband to a coffee shop! If he has just kicked the habit, it would be a big temptation to say "only one." So in Egypt it is legal to smoke in certain areas?

Seriously, you are welcome to visit when I get back. It won't be anything posh, we live in a very poor town but honestly the people just blow your mind they are so great. We can hire a car and have a day out at the pyramids etc. You are welcome to bring a friend, it really is a cultural education. If you want to come sometime let me know and I'll tell you the cheapest airline etc. It wouldn't be action packed but if you are interested in culture it is certainly one place that should be visited. Also if you are adventurous and want to go off on the train, you can just use our flat as a base.

Oh no, it is illegal to smoke but that doesn't stop anyone. Most of the stuff the guys buy from the police. It is a very corrupt system. As for the hubby I know he smokes his head off at wedding parties etc, when I am not there to nag. I dont mind if it is social but it used to be a serious habit. He speaks excellent English and is a similar age to you, so I imagine you would have a great trip.

Hand wipes are a good idea, hygiene is not high on the agenda here (teeth brushing and hand washing before eating), although in other ways they are cleaner than us.
 
17th,

Despite your help in pointing me in the direction of the right software I have had no success. Yeh yeh ... laugh at my technological stupidity. Since I can not manage to do it myself I wonder if you would be so kind to help me get what I have really wanted for a long long time. That is an avatar of a horses head with a mane of fire. I have searched many avatar sites looking for one without success and so I grovel humbly for your help. Grovel grovel. Seriously I would be very grateful.

Regards

Tao

Hi Tao

Know it's not quite what you are looking for but maybe you can do something with it?

Or this would be good if you could add the fire to the mane

Thank you Sally!! The first image is good but not quite as realistic as i was hoping for. The 2nd image however is spot on perfect for manipulation to exactly what I am after. Really appreciated :)

17th, think you can give that 2nd image a mane of blue and purple flame?

lol, well i searched lots and lots of sites offering avatars on many occasions but never found a quite what I was after. I think I did find the first one, and several other similar ones a year or 2 back but not really what I was after. The 2nd image would fit well with the kind of artwork 17th has been posting and with the kind of image I'm after.

As you can see i'm already using the 2nd image. And I love it, not sure it needs any doctoring. I always thought horses such noble creatures that have a quiet air of wisdom. Well until someone climbs on them and spoils the effect.

My family have an equestrian centre, so believe me they are very noble until you have to get up in the morning and muck out 11 stables or they try to squish you against a wall.

That said, when you first let them out in the morning and they gallop across the fields to stretch their legs, wow what a site. They also have the most amazing form of communication, if you just take the time to 'listen' to them.

I call it communicating but is really a behavioural science.

My brother is what you would call a 'horse whisperer', so we get horses here that are named 'satan' and 'dog meat if you don't behave'. In every case the horse is trying to tell the owner what they are doing wrong but the stupid people just don't 'listen'.

A couple of examples.

My brother spent 3 months working with a woman whose horse would kick and then bite her, the moment she went near it. It turned out the previous owner had taught the horse to 'shake hands' to get a polo mint. So the horse was simply trying to say here is my foot, now where is my polo. Because the horse wasn't getting what it wanted or expected, it began to exaggerate the bahaviour, to make the owner 'listen'.

My family moved here form the North East about 3 years ago and my old horse (who we lost a couple of months back) simply started behaving in a wierd way. He would hardly drink in the night and would literally drag my mother to the stream every morning and drink gallons. He was 17 hands and a big boy, so this began to frighten my mother, he was getting very bolshy. Eventually he began to tip his water buckets on the floor during the night. Long story short, we had the water tested here and from our previous farm, lo and behold the water here has a heavy concentration of a certain metal that sits in a horses gut and gives it stomach ache. He was simply trying to tell my mother that the water here was bad for him.

So many people see their horses bad behaviour as naughtiness and go for stronger bits or start to use a whip. 98% of the time it is just our failure to listen to them. So many people just want to throw a saddle on and go riding but horses are not cars, they tell you when there is a problem and it is up to us to take time to listen.

Animals are so amazing. :D
 
Tao... Purple and blue?? What like this.... ;)

It is humbling to see such confidence shown in me lol.... Don't get your hopes up too, much though... lol.
 
Bored..... Work can sometimes drag... So I was just sitting here drooling and being idle listening to an angel sing to me... "If you are going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your haaaaair..." And so on... I made this....
