Way Too Much Hotness...

    Don't worry, Corinna!

    The girl will calm down with "the same face", as we say!

    Personally I do not like people beeing mute for a longer time if they are upset! So no discussion is possible. That is very said.

    You are an open, communicative and very positive person so an equal friend would much better suit to you!

    Especially, if you can avoid such kind of MEN, Corinna!

    Would be an idea to look out for a not so complicated girlfriend!

    Good luck, Corinna!

    I am always happy to see a comment of you, Mel!

    You seem to be a very, very busy person the last weeks. Hope sincerely to see you more!

    It is a pitty you had prior commitment at Haloween. Your choice of costumes for Ella May and you are great!

    Looking at the hot pictures I think as more Winter is on his way we obviously need some HEAT! HaHa

  6. @Mel Thanks for changing the post. I can't believe I could get tired of that guy's a**. haha! I do watch that ghost hunter show sometimes...

    @Nicoletta You are right. ALS did get a haircut and looks so much better. I didn't notice until you wrote something? He just looked like his normal happy old self.

    @Corinna Friends don't make faces at other friends flirting. IDK what I'm talking about, I'll have to go back and read it, but I just wanted to say I'm with you girl!

    @Ekaterina What will you do this week? A whole week with out any construction workers. You are free to do what you want! It must be almost time to marry the cabbage?

  7. @Corinna

    I am afraid your girlfriend is a real pain in the neck, Corinna!

    You'd rather go alone to the bar or with anybody else instead of someone like she is!

    Friends should cheer you up in any case and not not pull you down!

    You deserve so much a better friend! Keep eyes wide open!

    Hopefully ALS's return to "the normal happy old self look" brings him a big portion of luck!!

  9. @Nicoletta I have been very busy with school. I didn't think doing 5 classes would be this much work. They seemed like easy classes, but Statistics is harder than I thought because he doesn't teach us how to solve the problems he just gives us vocabulary & the formula & expects us to know. Show me how to do it & I can do it.

    @Corinna Yup I will post some pics of us.

    @Giffy LOL I love watching Zak, Nick & Aaron! Except when they provoke the spirits. I don't like that. Though I do understand they want to make the evil spirits or demons angry so they catch something, but it could make it worse for the people who live or work there.

  13. well maybe i should say that i have also some other friends, normal friends! which take me as i am and we be always there for each ohter!
    but one problem they are all in m age and has already settled down with kids and husband! and so they don´t go out anymore so much!

    and this girl i talked about is younger than me! and normally also friendly and lovly! but sometimes she has a bad day and then she act like it told! but i don´t know why or how or what happen then with her!
    i also mean/have the feeling that she doesn´t recognize then how she act! that she doesn´t know/recognize that this is so bad and hurting what she is doing!
    and one good thing is that after 2 or 3 weeks she is normally again and then she also apologize for her bad acting bc then when you tell her how bad this is the recognize it!

    and i be someone who gives other real much chances! bc i want to see the best in a person! and don´t want to loose them as friends, even when they sometimes act real bad!

    i really have to thank you all for you good advice and that you all was here for me!

    ps: with this i don´t want to protect her, i just wanted to say that sometimes everyone have a bad day and that i hope that she goes normally soon!

  14. @giffy you be right also!
    and a big laugh till she doesn´t know my newest flirt i be happy!
    lmao i saw him tonigth and he was happy to see me!
    haha he followed me with his car (also a white one) and stop behind my car and then he went out to talk with me
    i know him now for three/four weeks, but he is a way to young for me and to skinny!
    but he is lovly and friendly and ask me always when i meet him if i want some beer of some grilled "würstel" or something like this! but i always says no! and he can´t understand!last time he wanted to drive me home! but i went by my feets! but he drove then my car home!

    (oh maybe i should say that he is a friend of my brother and one of this guys who helps me out with my car when i need help. and i visit them the last couple of weeks several times to get a "marderschreck" out of my old car and into my new car! and there he was and there i saw him the first time and he me)

    today i was there to ask the ohter friend of my brother who get the marderschreck out of my car and into the other one, but he wasn´t there and the other one saw me driving and followed me to say me that today no one is there and that i should come tomorrow once again and that he said with a big great smile!

    oh and everytime when we meet us we flirt!

  15. @Corinna

    You are a great girl with an immense generousity!

    The story with your girlfriend reminds me a bit to what you told us about your former boyfriend.

    Difficult people who will never change, I would say!

    Be careful Corinna these kind of friend make you unhappy in the long run.

    Like you say, the good girlfriends are now settled down and have children. It will not be very different with the good boys either.

    I quite like the efforts of the young guy, skinny or not! LOL
    He seems to be very much interested to learn more about you. And most important, he is always smiling to you, Corinna!

    I would give him a chance, a beer and a Würstel is very harmless. Enjoy your petit flirt with your "Verehrer"!

    Perhaps it turns out he has a good character and shares the same hobbies you enjoy!

    Take it easy & have a happy day, Corinna!

    Thank you for the link, my dear! I didn't see the second run in Soelden, so I'm happy that I could watch it now!

    @Corinna
    Nicoletta is so right about friends! You are a great person and a good friend, so you deserve ppl to treat you just as you treat them-with kindness, honesty and lot of love.
    Take care of you, sweetie!:)

    While I was walking around the Imperial Palace with the nordic poles with others on last Sunday, it started raining and the course had to be shortened and it was not kind for a beginner like me.

    I think I like it, however I need to take part in it at least one more time to learn how to do it.

    So, you're very busy with school work. Happy to hear from you about your study, Mel, bc it always sounds very interesting for us.

    btw, it's great ! The Halloween costumes of you and Ella May ! I love to see it !

  19. @Ekaterina Where are you?

    @Nicoletta Thanks for the skiing side by side video with LV. She was just in our news recently as she was visiting a ski school. When she walked by a table of students a young 15 year old kid asked if she would go to the dance with him and she said yes. They showed a photo of them at the dance. She said she was always training too hard to go to dances when she was a kid. Cute story.

    @Dana Thanks for the link. I like the yellow race suits. I also like the yellow jacket he had on at the Swix event. Isn't he great to his little fans? Hope the dentist was kind. Keep up the good work!

    @Corinna Anyone would be happy to have your attention. Did your new flirt search for you? I told you that your car was a man trap! I think if you would share a grilled "wurstel" and a beer with him he would fatten up. Or bake him a cake! If you like him? He probably just needs someone to take care of him. If he's living in his own apartment he probably forgets to eat. haha! Does your brother think he's a good guy?

  20. @Ekaterina Haha! I was missing you and there you were posting at the same time as me! Hope you have a great evening my dear Ekaterina!

  21. @corinna
    First of all, how cute your little niece is, corinna ! I can imagine her sweet full concentrated face during her " performance "
    I see the little Bavarian lady was so much charmed with Chanel intensive pink and she wanted to put it on the lips of the girl whom she loves so much !

    Secondly, I agree with @Nicoletta about your friend of a bit difficult personality. Difficult people will never change. I think the best is that you had better keep some distance between you and her. I mean a distance in mind. We Japanese calls such a person KY. Kuki ga Yomenai. The direct translation is " cannot read the air ".
    I suppose you'll have to face with the similar situation so long as you are her friend.
    I also think you are not the first person who were treated such badly by her younger sis, bc she is fed up with her sis, too.
    But if you can keep some mental distance between you and her, I think you are safe.

    and, ... ;-))) , it seems the recommended " aventure ".

    btw, for the past 10 years or so, Japanese has become to prefer to be alone without husband or wife as well as without partners in private life. It happens especially in the big city. This is the social trend in Japan. We all know it is not so nomal, but nobody can stop it right now. However, thanks to this trend, it's not at all hard to find someone to have lunch or dinner together. ... ;-)))

  22. @Giffy
    I've been a little busy with my friends about the year-end plan, though we are so careful this year. Nobody thinks the disaster in Japan is finished yet.

    The marriage of cabbage is included, Giffy. Nobody believes the government can competely guarantee the safety of the groceries. If I can get the cabbages from the US or Europe, I'll easily start the first stage of sarmale.
    But the cabbages I can buy are from the areas near Fukushima.

    We are very disappointed by our government. or I'd say we have been very disappointed. We talk about how to protect our life from the amateur government. I hope it makes us wiser. ... ;-)))

  26. @all thank you all for you good advice and that you all take also care of me!

    well maybe i should really make a mental distance, like @ekaterina said, i think this would be something good!

    i also have to say i be a real sentimental girl and i take often things to near to me and take care, sometimes, of thinks who other wouldn´t really mention and i often take things personally which wasn´t mean personally but this is bc of i be a sentimental and "sensibel"!
    so maybe i should build up a little mental wall and that things like this don´t come to near to me!

    about that guy well let´s see what will happen this evening! i maybe see him tonight again!

    @ekaterina oh i be sad about that you had bad weather on sunday, i hope you don´t be ill now!

    about my niece she is soooooo sweet real sweet!

    How wonderful to read your comments again, I've missed you, Ekaterina!

    The rain was not so good for your first Nordic walking! Hope nicer days will follow!

    @Dana

    You are welcome with the 2nd run! The slow motion makes it even more interesting I think.

    Hopefully the dentist treated you nicely!


    @Giffy

    I've had the impression you mixed the videos somehow! HaHa

    But I agree, Lindsey Vonn seems to have a very strong personality, witty, wordy and very kind of winner type in any aspect!
    Beside of that she is such a constant extremly good skier.

    She meets every situation with charm and lots of intelligence, not important if children or grown ups.

    ReplyDelete
  28. @Corinna

    A mental wall would be perfect!
    Ekaterina is right, I like the idea to have one, would make life much easier!

    Hope you enjoy a great evening with lots of fun with the new guy!

    Like Giffy said perhaps he does not eat properly and about building up some real nice muscles you are the expert anyway!

    Good luck, Corinna!

  33. @Nicoletta This morning when I woke up my morning news show, Today Show, was at Junfraujoch. How beautiful! Have you ever been there?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungfraujoch

    ReplyDelete
  34. @Giffy

    Yes Giffy, I have been there!

    It is indeed a very beautiful and unique region!

    I am proud you saw a documentatin about the Jungfraujoch, it is one of the greatest places in Switzerland situated in the Bernese Alps. All the Ski racer are every year very close when they stay in Wengen (Lauberhorn).

    To be honest, I've seen almost all wellknown places in the Alps because my partner belonged over 25 years to a small farmer reunion of Zug (central Switzerland), better said he was the trustee of this reunion.

    We were always a group of about 20 people and had absolutely good times, because the president was genious in organizing.

    Everything was paid, the best accommodation, great food and even better wines, and lots of entertainment like jorneys or excursions to the mountains, etc.

    We travelled in our own bus or took the kind of historic railways like to the Jungfraujoch.

    Very often we met also other farming complexes with different background (vegetable/apple culture/different cows, HaHa).

    We visited castles like Neuschwanstein, the Schlumpf museeum with oldfashioned as well as racing cars in Alsace, Heidelberg as well as Bourgone in France, and also in Switzerland the Gornergrat and Schilthorn /Piz Gloria where a James Bond film was made.

    So we had the chance to get invited every year for a two days excursion (always the farmer and wife or partner).

    ReplyDelete
  35. It snowed today for the first time in MI today. I think ALS brought it with him.

    @Nicoletta Tonight I will dream of Jungfraujoch. All of your travels sound like a lot of fun! I thought farmers had to stay home to milk the cows twice a day!

    ReplyDelete
  36. @Giffy

    You are right Giffy, therefore we travelled only for 2 days so grandparents or children could do their job, or mostly they have assistants or people learning to be a farmer. Their children often study agriculture.

    You know, the farmers and wifes joining the group were all young, witty and wealthy Swiss farmers with huge farmhouses (for Swiss condition LOL)and quite a bit farmland since many, many years in the hands of their families.

    It was always fun to see their places decorated with beautiful flowers, while collecting the people with the bus.

    Perhaps you know, Zug is one of the greatest finance Metropoles in Switzerland, situated at the beautiful lake of Zug. About 100 years ago it was a very poor region of Switzerland. Nowadays the farmer's ground has an immense value! HaHa

    The question was always, is the time ok because of bringing in the hay or because of the cherry harvest!

    In Zug they have a lot of cherry trees, and they produce also the Zugerkirsch that is kind of liqor, you can also eat the wellknown Zuger Kirschtorte, afterwards you feel a bit drunk!

    So you can dream on, Giffy!


    @Ekaterina

    As I saw the pictures of the Jungfraujoch, I remembered very clearly there was a huge group of friendly, very happy Japanese women on the top of the Jungfraujoch.

    You do not believe me, but I was totally facinated about their variety of hats this women were wearing, I never in my life saw such a great choice!

    I remember, it was pretty cool to enjoy the view, but to watch the tourists was a class in its own.

    Also in the historic train, I remember a Japanese man was non stop taking photographs. It made click, click, click, at that time it was not so commun for us! LOL

  40. All ladies: I usually only eat oatmeal for breakfast or toast, and coffee. If I don't drink coffee there is going to be trouble. Not everyone eats the big breakfasts they serve in hotels or resorts! haha!

    @Nicoletta Thank you very much for all the great links. I will enjoy the panorama. Thanks also for remembering our Veterans Day. I enjoy talking about farming, since I grew up on a farm. My Dad raised black Angus beef cattle, and grew corn and wheat. It was a great life for a child but a hard life for adults. Our farm is no longer in our family, but we had a lot of fun growing up on a farm. We never went on vacations.

    @Ekaterina Hope you will have another opportunity to alpine walk this weekend.

    @Corinna Hope you will get an earlier start out to the club/bar, and a good parking spot! Enjoy your weekend with good friends.

    It is interesting to learn you are a farmer's daughter, you certainly had a beautiful childhood and therefore you seem to be a down to earth person and not complicated.

  45. @giffy i didn´t want to sound harsh!

    when something bad come it comes had his heavy way!
    yesterday my neighbour said, that she maybe is needed to let her dog sleep forever and that they have a appoinment at the vet today!(i know this dog since he 8 weeks old and as he was as big as my hand,i had looked after him and walked with him, we went trought good times and bed times, already two surgerys)
    and know his heart is bad, he is blind and has diabetes!
    and bc of heart problems she will let him go!
    today at the vet,the vet told that the heart make no problems so far! and that he has good chances! but then he found a cancer, a testicular cancer! so he need next week a surgery and when the vet means he didn´t will survive it bc of the cancer or bc of the anesthesia and his heart problems, then he doesn´t let him out of the anestesia and let him sleep forever then!
    that is the hardest part in my life, i love him so much, but i also know that when he doesn´t has a chance to survive then it is better fro him and he should not have pain!

  46. @Corinna I am so sorry for your sorrow. It is very hard to lose a beloved pet. Try to remember the fun you had together, and when the dog was a puppy, so cute and tiny. Nice that you could enjoy the dog for so many years.

    @Nicoletta Thanks! I think farmers are good people too! The best! There was a club when I was growing up called 4-H. It teaches children how to take care of their farm animals and then you compete against each other at the fair to see who has done the best job. I used to hate leading the cows around on a halter in the summer. The cows didn't mind us, they were hairy, hot, sweaty. They would step on your feet. We would have to bath them. People are always surprised to hear me say that I did that when I was a kid. But now that I look back on it, we had the best time. :)

    I feel very sorry about your dog which accompagnied you during so many years!

    Even it is the dog of your neighbor, you were very close and did tell us about your blind friend before.

    The only thing what I can say, the dog will enter in dog's heaven when it is time, and will be relieved from all his pain.

    Don't worry, Corinna, it comes like it comes!

  48. @Giffy

    Thank you for your wonderful storry you told us about your childhood with the cows!

    I agree with you, children should learn to have a good sense towards the animals.
    Where you can learn it better than on a farm?!

    Therefore in Switzerland it is very popular to make family holidays on a farm.
    So children learn everything about farming, enjoy the fresh air, the beautiful nature as well as the fresh and healthy food.

    You are very welcome about my little info about the Jungfraujoch!

    As you may have noticed, I need always a little "warm-up" because I need to sort out the places I have seen and to my shame I sometimes get mixed-up, because there are so many beautiful regions. and quite a lot time has passed since I had the pleasure to be there!

    Did I already mention, next year the Jungfrau railways will celebrate the 100 year anniversairy!

    I remember, last year we already spoke about the Junfrau railways, because Kjetil was complaining about not beeing able to drive with the car to Wengen. Wasn't it like that?

    Here a link about he Jungfraubahn, if you are interested.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungfraubahn


    @Giffy

    Yesterday we saw in the news a little info about "Where in the world is Matts"!

    I immediately was thinking about your comment, dear Giffy!

    Thanks for the links of Jungfrau ! Nicolettchen !
    I wanted to post my comment much earlier, bc I've been there once and love it, but I've been busy, so I'm sorry to be late !
    It was my first travel overseas and I was a Uni student then. My parents let me join the group tour which also gave us opportunities to enjoy the operas and concerts. We stayed in Luzern and enjoyed the opera on the lake, and the guide took us to Jungfrau. I remember Eismeer station which is in the tunnel !
    100 years anniversary sounds really great !

  52. @Corinna

    Very interesting, Corinna, you heard about the Gotthard Basis Tunnel!

    That will be the newest creation of Swiss railways: The higspeed train leading through the Gotthard.

    It is a fact, not all Swiss people are so happy, because it costs a lot of money, and other European countries also profiting from the project are not so busy with helping us with the money as promised! LOL

    But like it always is, in 50 or 100 years everybody will be proud to have realized it.

    I was quickly looking in the internet and found this link if you are interested:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotthard_Base_Tunnel

    BTW, around 1997 we had the chance to look into the tunnel in Sedrun.
    That excursion were also with "the farmers". The new president was always looking for such surprises!

    So we had to put on special closing, like helmets and special coats and were guided into the the building by an engineer with kind of elevator, we travelled for a while downwards to get on the site in Sedrun.

    An interesting world did open to us, we learnt about the progress and about the life of the workers.

    I was a bit worried, and thought to myself:

    "Were in the world is Ekaterina?" because you were unusually quiet! HaHa

    How nice you have already visited the Top of Europe!

    I've been raised in the big city and all of my Japanese friends are more or less like me. But I can imagine how wonderful it is to grow up in the farmer family, bc the nature is the best teacher especially for a child.

    btw, Giffy, I always have a lunch later than usual during holidays because of the big breakfast including champagne in the hotel in Europe. I think it is the same in the US.

    As for my schedule this weekend,
    on Saturday( today ) : A guest visited us in the morning, after that I visited my mom's grave in the afternoon, and then I visited the photo shop to order the new year greeting card.
    In Japan, the basic way of the new year greeting is the postcard which is delivered punctually in January the 1st. I send the both Christmas cards and Japanese new year greeting postcards. While I buy Christmas cards, I order the new year greeting postcards, bc we need 120. and since my baby sis Ekaterina joined my family, there has been always her pic on the postcard. That's why I visited the photoshop, bc the provide us the high quality.

    on Sunday ( tomorrow ) : I go shopping in the morning. The guests visited us in the afternoon.

    I see how you feel about the dog.
    In Japan, I think it is denounced if the owner of the pet makes such a decision. On the other hand, some people( Japanese ) easily abandons the pets. I personally denounce such people, but I understand the situation of your neighbors, corinna, however I think I'll take care of my baby sis at home until her departure. When we had her in 2004, our family ( mom was still alive ) talked about lots of things which we thought will happen in the future, and decided to do so.

    my neighbour will this surgery, bc she will make everything to rescue him, and when the vet decide that he will not survive then she and we knows that we tried everything to help him and to rescue him!

    and the vet said on friday also that he means that he have a 75% chance to survive!

    Wie bitte ? corinna ? The surgery ?

  67. @Dana Hello Dear! I could not open the Facebook link. I'm not authorized. You'll have to tell us about it. You know how I like shoes.

    @Nic We could start calling you Nic. Much more efficient, less key strokes. It's interesting that you would get a tv report on Matt. I watch him every morning while I'm waking up. I agree the boys do look like they have captured team spirit and are going to have a great ski season.

    @Corinna I hope all goes well with the dog's surgery. Did you ever do the big surprise, that you needed to be ready for at a moments notice?

    @Ekaterina The New Year's cards sound darling. I bet they make everyone smile. What pose did your baby Sis strike? Were there any props? How many years have you been doing the cards with baby Sis Ekaterina on them? You might have enough for a book.

    It'll be the 8th year.
    The pic for 2012 new year greetings is the pose while she helped me working with the display cabinet in the living room. She was so hard worker, bc she stayed inside the cabinet with the precious glasses and plates and so on.
    We usually call this cabinet as " curio " in Japan. I'm not sure of the spelling
    The caption on the card is that " Ekaterina who is kindly helps her elder sis with the curio work. "

  73. @Corinna

    No, that is totally new for me!
    Where did you hear that?

    It is always sad if friends/lovers go separate ways, but if they find other partners and get lucky with them it is fine.

  74. @Ekaterina

    Your collection of photos for the Christmas/New year cards with your baby sister will be unique!

    Would really love to see it!


    @Giffy

    Enjoying "Where in the world is Matts" is a very charming way to get ready for the day!


    @All

    As I posted on ALS's blog for me Aksel looks very similar to the young Marlon Brando, what do you say??

    Congratulations on the birth of Jonathan Christian !!!

    btw, corinna, he's a very big baby ! My weight was 2700kg when I was born.
    I enjoy thinking about the special excitement among your family. How does your lovely niece do when she meets her newborn brother ?

    ReplyDelete
  82. @ekaterina she was shy! she didn´t wanted to touch him or look at him and she needs 20min to break the ice, but then she didn´t want go home without him!

    my mom looked up, my head was also 37cm at my birth and that of my brother was 35cm,
    my weigth was 3850 gramm and i was 53 cm tall, my brother was 3560gramm and 52 cm tall!

    i was a big bigger then my brother bc i came to late and died nearly!
    The midwife gave my mama blow inhibitors because they thought I have come too early! but that was a fault, my mom was 2 days on inhibitor dripping blow! with the success that we were both almost died! because the placenta had been resolved, would be my mum almost bled to death and i almost suffocated because the amniotic fluid had been dyed green, which one causes less oxygen supply!
    but we make it! and we make it real good!

    Glad you and your mother survived, Corinna! This was a touching story. So many bad things can happen.

    I was a very skinny newborn of only 2500 g and 51 cm height! Maybe therefore I became a good eater! LOL

    My mother had intensively to watch her weight because of troubles with her back!

    Your niece will be a nice little mother soon, I am sure!

  84. Latest news:

    Gotthard has a new singer, his name is Nic Maeder, 40 years old and he seems to fit in perfect into the band.

    Nic is born in Lausanne, the French speaking part of Switzerland and the family moved to Melbourne as he was a little child.

    Proud to present you the first video with the new song "Remember it's me":
