As requested I did a reading for ALS. I used the Celtic Cross layout & I got an extra card as well.
- Present-Eight of Pentacles-Work
- Challenge-The High Priestess-Woman
- Distant Past-The Hanged Man-Trials
- More Recent Events-The Tower-Deception
- The Best That Can Be Achieved-Nine of Pentacles-Safety & Success
- Immediate Future-The Moon-Danger, Hidden Enemies & Deception
- Inner Factors or Feelings-Seven of Wands-Negotiations
- External Influences-Four of Pentacles-Legacy & Inheritance
- Hopes & Fears-Seven of Pentacles-Business & Quarrel
- Final Outcome-Knight of Wands-Departure, Absence & Change of Residence
- Extra Card-The Empress-Long Days
So he's working, but he also wants to spend time with Jules which is a challenge. In the past he has had trials. I'm thinking it's referring to Beaver Creek. The deception is the whole Jules & I are just friends. He has to be safe in order to be successful. I think this has to do with FIS changing the regulations on the skis. I don't know what exactly he would be negotiating with himself. To me legacy & inheritance could be kids. Maybe grandma or grandpa are wanting to have some great-grand babies. Although most likely it has to do with his skiing career. I'm thinking that he may be dropping another sponsor. This card could just mean all the traveling & living in different cities & countries. I don't get the feeling that he is moving to a new place. He's gonna be working long days to get everything done that he needs to.
@Mel
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Mel!
I am really facinated the way you read the cards!
It is fun, but on the other hand it is pretty serious to me!
Your summary says to me, ALS life is still not that easy.
A lot of things/problems are not yet solved! And if you ask me, you can also read that on his face!
For me ALS is not anymore the easy person which seems to life in total harmony.
It is obviously, he wants to spend as much as time he can with Jules, and I think too he loves her because she is the ultimative challenge for him.
He is working real hard, as he did also last year, and I presume he is in excellent form again. But about the results we will only learn more during the season.
I sincerely wish him all the very best and that he can dance on the slopes without to many pressure.
Jules btw seems to be a rocket, she profits more from the connection with ALS than he does. Just my opinion.
Sponsors, change could likely be. Also other problems with sponsoring, etc.
Grand children for Oma and Opa, possible! But they can hardly combine their life with that now, and they have certainly got enough time for that later!
Thoughts about the new FIS rules I can perfectly understand. Also how he sees/plans his future career. That is all not so easy!
Moving, beeing a Ski star is to travel 250 days per year (or is it more??), maybe they look for a new place to meet easier, or a new place which is more convenient for both.
Thank you again, Mel, btw the I love the silk scarf on the picture! Very nice colours, looks amazing!
Wish you a great Sunday, Mel!
@All Ladies
ReplyDeleteWish you a beautiful Sunday and send you a lot of Ferrero Küsschen!!
Ferrero Küsschen means little kisses of Ferrero Chocolate!
Love you!
@Mel
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is so beautiful!
May I ask you who owned this scarf, it looks like an oldfashioned one which is a long time in the hands of your family!
Has the scarf kind of history, Mel?
@mel thanks for reading the cards!
ReplyDeletei agree with nicoletta i have the same feeling!
only one thing i can´t understand and i don´t know if the translater make the right translation!
"The deception is the whole Jules & I are just friends"
i mean this one! the translater says deception = fake
and so the tranlation says that they didn´t be together and this is a fake!
but i don´t know the word deception and i don´t know if the translator is right!
so maybe you can descripe that a bit, for me, what this means!
@nicoletta i sometimes have this feeling that jules had more profit out of this all then he! too!
and something i can´t understand or don´t understand out of this is!
you all remeber vancouver, when jules was fighting against lindsay real bad! and get some bad news about her!
after this they make the relationship official and since then she has good news/media, new sponsors and so on!!
i can´t help me, and pls don´t understand me wrong (i don´t want to say something bad about jules, i don´t know her personally so i have no right to say something bad about her) but i sometimes have this feeling that this all is just a pr stuff for jules, to get out of the bad news/media stuff after vancouver and after all the bad news she had also before!
but pls don´t understand me wrong! i really wish aksel and her all the best of luck! and that both be happy!
@Corinna
ReplyDelete@All Ladies
Interesting that you have the same feeling, Corinna!
Yes, as longer as I think about, I have the impression it was/is the best choice to feed the sponsors, family, and to comfort themselves.
Maybe it was at the beginning a bit to correct the image of ALS, if you rember the guests on ALS blog!
It was the right time to have a girl friend for him. That is my point of view to the "deception" word.
On the otherhand it is perfect if you are best friends, have the same profession, and share the not so easy life of a Ski star. They obviously have a lot to share indeed. They can also share there vacation and free time as its best, because Jules gives a lot of impulse (Maui, trip to Paris, etc.)
All comes very neer to "the marriage that he has seen", you remember?!
Yes its true, Jules looks very happy and got strenghts, she has reached what all females want to get!
I presume Aksel was and is very happy with his sport collegues, in a way like Jon O has organized his life!
But something I like to notice, ALS was sharing such a long time his daily life with us as well as his sport activities and we got all the feeling to be in a way his friends, an more or less important part of his life.
At the moment we are for sure appreciated but not so important for him any longer.
We all get older and make some changes/progress, we certainly have to accept.
I like Jules, she has got "a lot of pepper in her butt" as we say in German, that is the opposite of a sleeping pill, and I mean it in a very positive way.
Wish sincerely both of them all luck on earth, many more years of successful skiing and a beautiful growing friendship as well!
May they give eachother a lot of very good new impulse!
@nicoletta i was also thinking the last days/weeks about the less comments on his blog!
ReplyDeletewhen you look before and after the olympic games, there was more then 100 comments after each blogpost from him! and now only some when it is much then 20 comments!
sometimes i think about, what happen, that this changed so much! i find it a bit strange, crazy!
and i be curious about the reason!
i can´t rememeber about this?
"All comes very neer to "the marriage that he has seen", you remember?!"
when was this?
all that i know, is that he said once, that he doesn´t want to marry so soon!
@Corinna
ReplyDelete"The marriage he has seen" was an extent of Mel's first Tarot card session.
Mel mentionned then it could be the marriage of his parents.
Time can change everything, you are right, it is very quiet on Aksel's blog lately.
It needs both side, catchy themes, a interested blog host, and active bloggers of course.
But I agree, it is in a way strange and said that ALS changed so much. Would even say not only his blog also the men has become very different, at least ALS does not look the same man to me as he used to be!
Now I am leaving, dear Corinna, I think we go out for a walk because the sun comes out! Must hurry up!
Wish you a pleasant Sunday afteroon, and enjoy a great evening, Corinna!
See you!
@nicoletta oh you happy one, about the sun!
ReplyDeletehere it is cold, windy and sometimes rainy and sometimes rain mixed with snow!
oh that one you mean, i wasn´t think about this!but thanks for remembering me!
and i agree with you! he changed also a lot!
but i think we should see what will happen in the next season!
i wish you a great walk out in the sun and also a great sunday evening!
@Nicoletta The scarf belonged to my Grandma & she is probably rolling over in her grave that I use it for my cards. She was afraid of the supernatural. Well as far as I know she was. Anyway, my Uncle Fred bought it for her on one of his cruises. I don't know when or where he bought it.
ReplyDelete@Corinna Deception is a lie. They were in a relationship, but they wouldn't admit it & that was a deception.
@Nicoletta & Corinna I agree with you both about Jules. I don't get a good feeling from her. Last time I had a feeling like this was with my sister & my now brother-in-law. Let's just say I told her so. I don't think ALS has time for the blog & writing comments back to us. He's busy with training, sponsors, side projects & trying to keep his relationship with Jules going. I think I may have to do a relationship spread for them. I do miss him treating us like friends. I feel like we are strangers just looking in now. It just feels weird.
@mel thanks for explaining!
ReplyDeletemaybe you really should read the cards for their relationsship too! that would be interessting!
what kind of feeling do you had about your sister & brother in law? when i be able to ask you!
@Corinna I've always had a bad feeling about my brother-in-law. He isn't the type of man my sister deserves. 6 months before they got married (til now) he decided he was gonna be a carpenter, then he decided he was gonna go back to school & finish a management degree, then he decided that he was gonna be an electrician, then he was going for heating & cooling & then he was gonna be a nurse & now he's back to being in heating & cooling. He's been in school for 6 or 7 years now. He had to write a letter explaining why he's taking so long in school so he can get school loans. He can't hold down a job for more than a few months. My best friend, her Grandma & I told her up until I walked down the isle that we could get the car & we could leave. We all knew he wasn't right for her, but she didn't listen & now she is paying for it.
ReplyDelete@Mel
ReplyDeleteI am deeply concerned about the story of your sister!
Horrible, it is danger pure if you get the wrong man, especially if he does not like work or if he is so unsteady like your brother- in-law. It really can only be beaten if a man is drunk every day, sorry Mel, for mention that.
The moral of the story is, somethimes you should listen to the majority of your good friends and beloved ones.
Regarding Jules, I think she is amazing, and I was astonnished to hear so many real bad comments about her.
I followed her a bit on FB, Twitter and realized she changed also a lot, I mean she is not anymore here for her fans and let only here something from her if it is a PR thing! Very said too.
The only thing that she brought to ALS is that they look equal now. Like all the girls mentioned on your blog, bad hair, neglected in what he is wearing, and he looks all the time as if he had not enough sleep!
It is very said, but I have to say a couple in love looks very much different!
By the way I have got the impression in general ALS is tired. I do not yet know way, but I feel he is.
@Mel
ReplyDelete@Corinna
Yes, I couldn't say it better:
I do miss him treating us like friends. I feel like we are strangers just looking in now. It just feels weird.
Please lay the cards again about the realationship if you have the time, Mel!
Could really be interesting what the cards say!
Hope your grandma has nothing against if you use her beautiful silk scarf again, Mel! LOL
It could be a Hermès scarf from Paris. They look quite similar.
@All Ladies
Have a beautiful day and enjoy life!
Pictures of Hermès scarfs, love them!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.google.com/search?q=hermes+scarf+pictures&hl=en&biw=1016&bih=597&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=
@nicoletta i can´t say so much about jm!
ReplyDeletebut for me, he looks always on the pics so "distanziert" from her! his eyes are sad and he looks always, or it seems like, he want to run away! she is smiling, or is trying to smile and he, not! that is crazy! i always think that when you be in love with someone then you smile and look happy when you be together with him/her!
but both of them aren´t look so happy! you just have to see in both eyes of her and him!
they are empty, tired and sad!
well maybe this is bc, both are living so far away from each other, and just see each other very less! and both know that the time they have is very less!
i don´t know what you are thinking about this! but isn´t it better to have a boyfriend/girlfriend, who is understanding what you do, but she/he is doing something different to that, and so you see each other more, than just sometimes btw two races or for 2-3 weeks over the summer?
bc she/he isn´t travel as much as you! and so she/he is able to visit you during the races, bc she/he has nothing to do on the weekends, or doing self race down the hills!
@mel i be so sorry for you sister! that is real bad! for how long are they now married?
@Corinna
ReplyDelete@All Ladies
I agree deeply with you.
I noticed the same, not just once different times, would say constantly.
Do you also say the eyes are the windows to the sole, Corinna?
The eyes tell us so much about a person. Everybody had also had good times and knows how he looks like!
Sprinkling, lucky eyes and you can feel a great energy!
Honestly, I do not any more see that in ALS eyes since they are together, and like you say they do never look lucky at the same time!
I miss all the time the harmony!
Regarding eyes have you seen this picture from Jon & Oliva. Tells also a lot!
http://www.jon-olsson.com/?p=6221
If you are acting in the sport world, life may be exiting but on the long run you get lonely!
ReplyDeleteIt is real hard to have friends, a relationship or even a family! That is very clear to me!
Their life is exhausting, they need so much energy for travelling, training, sponsor work. I can understand that you get tired after a couple of years.
The other thing is, if you have success - of course it is easier to be a champion!
If you are not anymore one of the very best it gets much harder to keep up the good mood, also very clear.
My thoughts are with ALS now and I think we should pray for him that he is on a good way - wherever it leads him, personally and mentally, as well as regarding to his whole life.
Maybe if he meets his collegues from all over the world and the season starts he will get the energy back and loves his life again!
Hope to see very soon a lucky pair of eyes!
Good luck and all the best, ALS!
@nicoletta oh yes the eyes are the door to the soul!
ReplyDeleteyou can also see on the eyes when someone is pregnant!
oh yes you be rigth the pic of jon and olivia says a lot! i have seen this pic before!
i also hope when the season starts he will get his engergy back!
@all have a great evening!
Wow girls! You've been busy.
ReplyDelete@Mel If that's a Hermes scarf it's worth some $$ girlfriend. You better do some research on it. It just might be a treasure. Well it is a treasure because it belonged to your Gma.
@Corinna Do you think JM looks like Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas? Do you know this BEP song: the Time? I like the Dirty Bit.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwQZQygg3Lk&ob=av2e
So what happened this weekend at the bar?
@Nicoletta You made me laugh out loud about the hair, and the clothes comment. I actually like his hair longer and curly. I think things could still work out for J&O. Time will tell. How do you say pepper in her butt in German?
Sorry Girls, my monologues the last 2 days were quite long. LOL
ReplyDeleteThank god, Corinna was supporting me, and also Mel did a wonderful job.
I believe I can feel already the full moon of Wednesday!
@Corinna
Yes I know about the eyes and the pregnancy!
@Giffy
I am afraid my feeling for O&J is not so good for Jon, I have got the impression Olivia has a new boyfriend and for that she is sparkling like a diamond!
Let's see what will happens!
Pepper in her butt is:
Pfeffer im Hintern! HaHa
@Nicoletta Well, thanks for the pfeffer im hintern! haha! I'm going to call my sisters both that. Make them use their google translate skills to figure it out if they dare. Ooops, I didn't get that from J&O you would know best. Well, J always does have men around filming him. That wouldn't be easy for a woman to put up with I guess, no matter how handsome they are?
ReplyDelete@Ekaterina I meant to tell you I loved the story of your rosary. What a sweet and touching story. Nice that you have kept it all these years.
It seems my pc has some troubles, so this is a test.
ReplyDeleteI try it once again.
ReplyDeleteI think I have been played by pc. I had to be almost forced to stay between Internet Explore & Google Chrome. very complicated.
ReplyDeleteWhen I posted my last comment in 10/09/2011/09:54 AM ,Mel had already made a marvellous " Reading " here !
@Giffy.
Thank you for noticing it !!!
@Mel !
ReplyDeleteI read your reading on ALS many many times ! It's so interesting. ( btw, I agree with @Nicoletta. I think it's Hermes. ) Greatly thanks for that ! Mel ! and so sorry to be here late. I could not open the blog, but now it seems OK.
@Mel, @Nicoletta, @corinna, & @Giffy.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same as you do.
Jules is just smart. I think ALS and JM have been a kind of good friends each other since before Vancouver, but ALS was focused by NBC ( is it ? ... )and she thought she needed to be with him, bc ALS is " stainless " and everybody loves him. and I also think ALS willingly accepted her, bc she is not only an excellent ski racer, but also very sporting and active, and she knows how to deal with lots of things he is going to face. I mean, Jules is the gold medalist in Torino. The gold medal often makes the life of the athelete change dramatically and it's not easy to get used to it. And Maui Life might be charming for him, not only bc it's Jules garden, but also it's extremely fun for a man from the North. And Jules also enjoyed 3 times visit to Oslo in 6 months.
I believe the both of them thinks the life as a ski racer comes first now, and they think it better together for this purpose. I wouldn't think they are together only for the romantic love, I think it is the calculated relationship.
@Mel, @Nicoletta, @corinna, & @Giffy.
ReplyDeleteALS changed. His life became much busier in every points. In Japan, we call this " Paying tax for being famous ".
and we also say, " Eyes talk more than mouth ".
Anyhow, the first race comes within 2 weeks.
I feel Aksel and Jules both will have a very successful season.
@Mel.
ReplyDeleteAs for your brother in law, my opinion is the same as our friends here. To have a family ( I mean, marriage both with & without kids )means to be more responsible person. But he lacks of it. I think he is wrong if he thinks he is accepted as he is.
@All ladies !
ReplyDeletesorry for long comments as always !
I try not to get lost again, but I'm not sure.
But I try it !
Have a nice day !
LOVE ! Kisses & Hugs !
@ekaterina i have to apologize me! for some crazy reason i have overseen your comment on the last blog about the rosary!
ReplyDeleteit is a great story!
here in bavaria, ever girl and boy get a rosary when they have the "erst kommunion" when they be around 9 or 10 years and normally they have this rosary for the rest of their live!
i have also a white one! my grandma had when i know it right two or three! and that one from her "erst kommunion" she got with her into her coffin when she died!
we also had one special one, it is from my grand aunt, she was a nun, and this rosary we got from her is real old, i think about 300 years or so!
@giffy well i know this song, from the black eyed peas but i don´t think jm looks like fergie!
@ekaterin i sometimes think the same, it is more a well calculated thing then a real relationsship, they try to get out the best of all! vacation in maui from him (also with windsurfing) more attention for her by the media, bc of him and is smart clever handsome amazing way of live!
well i can´t help i have sometimes this feeling that this is all a good calculatet puplic relation thing!
@nicoletta no problem about your long comments!
@Corinna
ReplyDeleteThanks for the explanation of the rosary, Corinna.
Tomorrow I will read it again more carefully because last Sunday I was to much occupied with ALS! Sorry, Corinna!
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteWas first "hunting" your text about the rosary, I did also overlook it by mistake! Sorry Ekaterina!
It is a very moving story, you have right it is a special gift to get a rosary from a nurse especially in the Japanese culture!
So glad you can read Mel's blog and post again your comments, Ekaterina!
I am working with Mozilla Firefox Internet Connection by the way, just in case if you want/need to change
again.
Will continue tomorrow, I am a bit tired now!
ReplyDeleteGood night dear friends!
Hugs & Kisses!
@All Ladies
ReplyDeleteThe ski sport is indeed a very tough sport!
I have only one thing to attach my comments re ALS & JM, they are getting more and more equal regarding their entries on FB, twitter, and ALS repeats the same thing on his blog afterwards.
They even are active or inactive at the same time!
The PR things must run, sponsor work must be done and charity things must be presented to the public too!
Ok the show must go on!
It was quite interesting to compare all your comments concerning the reading, etc.
Noticed a lot of similar feelings and comments!
Wish you all a beautiful day, my friends!
Aksel is a very busy man!
ReplyDeleteIt is not so easy to get all that work done as well as being great on the slopes!
Good luck, Aksel!!
Enjoy a marvellous, healthy & successful season!
@corinna, & @Nicoletta.
ReplyDeleteoh, you don't have to say sorry, bc it was my fault, correctly speaking, my pc's fault !
and, thanks for the beautiful thoughts about my rosary !
btw, I'll try Mozilla Firefox when my pc doesn't work well again. Thanks, Nicolettchen !
@corinna.
ReplyDeleteThe rosary from your Oma & the rosary from your nun great aunt are the treasure of your family, corinna. Thanks for telling us about it !
@Nicoletta.
ReplyDeleteyes, Aksel is a busy man. The sponsor obligation, PR activities, ... It looks like having the full course dinner every evening. The main dish is of course the ski. Or it looks like the package which has to make everybody happy.
I think some people enjoy it so much, but I often feel Aksel prefers the little bit quieter life. On the other hand, I think Jules doesn't prefer the quieter life as Aksel does.
Life is not easy at all ! I suppose Aksel has his own personal manager after vancouver and I hope he or she does a good job ! so that Aksel can concentrate on the main dish ! The dessert ? it's Jules.
@All ladies !
ReplyDeleteIt's the time for the countdown. The season 11/12 is just around the corner.
Go Aksel ! Go !
Hope you have a pleasant day !
LOVE ! Kisses & Hugs !
@Corinna
ReplyDeleteIt is very nice to have such presious rosaries in the family, dear Corinna!
I am protestant and we do not have so many occasions to celebrate and I quite like your stories about your festivals because the protestant church is very sec. Hope you understand what I mean, not so much decorated and it is all reduced to the minimum.
Zurich is a protestant city and my partner comes from the central Swiss which is mainly catholic, so he is raised catholic and so I have from time to time the opportunity to go to a catholic church.
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteYour comment about having the full course dinner every evening is so funny, Ekaterina!
Yes, I think so, it is pretty clear who is the desert!
Would not be surprised if "Aksulia" have the same personal manager by now.
As I mentioned they do a lot in the same way, at the same time! LOL
I agree with you, it looks like Aksel can enjoy a more quiet lifestyle. Reading a good book, etc, what is sometimes a good way to have a good balance to such a busy life.
@ekaterina and nicoletta for me it seems also like aksel likes the quiter life more then to much hectic and glamour and all this stuff!
ReplyDelete@nicoletta i can really understand you,since my dad is from hamburg he is also protestant!
when my brother and i was little he was needed to go to church with us on eastern and christmas! but now he doesn´t go with us!
when we was in school my mom told us always even religion is a subject you have to listen well in school!
my dad had the totally different meaning to my mom!
but well it doesn´t have to do with the religion, the character is the most important thing on a person!
you can ask when you have questions!
@Corinna
ReplyDeleteOf course we believe in the same God, Corinna!
Our religion is very similar, only lets say the presention is totally different!
The funny thing is, I was very interested in religion and got the best results from the class at the tests!
We had a very good teacher, a protestant Diacon which is nearly like a catholic priest (but he can get married) and he told us about the bible in a very exiting way. So I got very much interested, and the subject religion was equal with history for me, while my collegues used to have a little nap, I was listening very carefully! HaHa
So I am still interested in other religions, and think also it depends of the character of every single person, no matter what his religion is.
Lately I read that one of the main differences between the catholics and the protestants is that the catholics go to the church to communicate with god.
The protestants have the believe a contact to god is possible everywhere at any time. I think it is true, my familiy went not so much to the church and so do I, but we all followed certain rules and live a respectful life with our community.
From time to time a good communication with god is our aim.
If I have a question about your special festivals and habits I will love to ask you, Corinna.
Not everything what I learned at shcool is still in my memory.
Wish you a good night, Corinna!
@Nicoletta and @corinna, & @all ladies.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Nicolettchen, I agree with your guess. Aksulia has been under the same management office, and I believe it was Jules' proposal.
I often thought corinna's dad who is from Hamburg and decided to live in Catholic society, that is, Bavaria.
I think the same way as you do, the character is the most important for a person, and Catholic, Protestant, and Orthdox are all family who has the different ways of presentation, as @Nicoletta said.
... sorry, I'll be back later, the kitchen wants me now.
Wanted to say a quick hello to all Ladies:
ReplyDeleteHere I found two interesting articles on Skionline regarding the new skis and that the athletes will have a voice during the races!
Sorry, all in German but google translater will help you!
http://www.skionline.ch/index.php?section=news&cmd=details&newsid=26922&teaserId=6
http://www.skionline.ch/index.php?section=news&cmd=details&newsid=26952&teaserId=5
I wonder how ski sport will developp in the next years?!
@All Ladies
Have a wonderful day/evening!
Love you!
@Nicoletta.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link, Nicolettchen, but I cannot see the exact site you kindly posted for us. Meanwhile, I can see the site of skionline.ch/index.php?section=news&cmd=details&newsid=
it's OK, but when I type 26922 ..... it is refused. I try it again maybe tomorrow to reach the exact site.
The Protestant school I was educated is opened not only to Christian included the Salvation Army, but also any religion. Because the population of Christian in Japan is only 1 % of the whole population, and the school needs high quality of the teachers.
Then, which religion the rest of 99 % of population has faith in ? Buddhism ? The answer is No & Yes. ... ;-))) Shinto ? the answer is also No & Yes. Please remark, Nicoletta, I write No & Yes, instead of Yes & No.
Japanese people is very very tolerant of religion. For example, lots of the couple makes the wedding at the Christian Church, but their baby receives the bless at the Shinto Shrine, and their funeral is at the Buddhism Temple. Although the reason they want to have the wedding at the Christian Church is that they only like the atmosphere, most of the Christian Church in Japan never refuse them. They probably think it is a good promotion.
Being tolerant of religion among Japanese is OK, bc it's peaceful. But the reality is another. I think there are some diligent Buddhist, but I suppose nearly 90 % of Japanese finish their life without opportunity to read the Bible, the Shinto Text, or the Buddhism Text.
In my school, from elementary school to senior-high school, we had a service every morning, and we had a Bible lesson every week, too. I feel I had a very good experience in those 12 years and I naturally feel I'm a Christian. At Uni, my school was not interested in missionary work, so we didn't attend at the service.
I think it is almost impossible to learn western history & culture without the knowledge of Christianity. So, in Japan, some people becomes a Christian after being familiar with the western history & culture.
Just funny ! ... :-)))
@All ladies !
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful autumn day !
LOVE ! Kisses & Hugs !
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteIt is really very interesting how the Japanese handle a combination of different religions during their lifes! I think it pretty amazing!
I can understand, that reading the bible is sometimes hard. The best is you have a clever interpretor who is also educated in knowing a lot about other religions and can tell you more about.
As always I am very much impressed about the knowledge and excellent education you have, dear Ekaterina!
Like I mentionned, religion, culture, history are very close. You cannot really divide them.
Regarding the skionline.ch I am very sorry!
Please try the main link and put it into the google translater.
So you can read all the actual articles. If you scroll down you see the articles about the new FIS changes, etc.
http://www.skionline.ch/index.php
The article with the new "voice of the athletes" is from the 10.10.
The other one, the summary of Bernhard Russi is from the 12.10.
This website is about ski sport in general, and it brings also other items similar to the FIS news. Of course it also about the Swiss skiers.
@nicoletta well i also think that a person don´t need a church to get into contact with god!
ReplyDeleteyou can go up to a moutain or where ever you want to go! the main thing is that you feel comfortable with that what you do!
and the most important thing is the character of a ppl!
@all a great evening and a great weekend!
@corinna.
ReplyDeleteThanks, corinna ! Now I can look at the actual site by Nicolettchen. However Google translation does not work well, though I don't know why. But I don't mind so much about it !
btw, I think I learn a lot from you, corinna. As Nicoletta said, I'll also ask you about Bavarian speciality such as Catholic & Culture.
yes, Religion, History and Culture cannot be separated to be explained.
And you're right, dear corinna. Wherever we are, it's important to feel comfortable, and I think religion often helps it. To be honest and to be humble. And the most important id the character of a person !
It's like a summer in Tokyo. ... so I am beated again. ...:-))) ... Normally we don't have so much rain in autumn, but it rains heavily in the south of Japan. TV news also reports there will be possibility of the flood in Bangkok, Thailand. of course Thailand is far from Japan, but I doesn't rain so heavily there in this season.
And we had an shake from the earthquake this evening in Tokyo today. It was small one, so please don't worry about it.
I was playing with my baby sis when an shake came. I said, " Is it ? an earhquake ? " and it was so funny, bc her " face " said also, " is it ? an earthquake ? " She's a little Tokyo girl. She gets used to the earthquake !
@All ladies !
Hope you have a happy weekend !
LOVE ! Kisses & Hugs !
Hope all are feeling well!
ReplyDeleteOnly 1 week until the season starts!
Wish you a beautiful weekend!
Aksel is back. I think he had so many " new " things last season including off-season.
ReplyDeleteBut it's different this year. Aksel knows more about what is the best for him right now.
It's his second season in his " new " system.
@All ladies.
It was 28.7℃ in Tokyo today. ..... I don't understand why it still misses the summer. .....
Hope you enjoy a beautiful autumn, and I hope I catch up with you ! ... :-)))
Kisses & Hugs ! LOVE !
Hello my Ladies!
ReplyDeleteI read some of your comments and I agree with you in many ways, I've noticed these things a long time ago!!
@Mel thank you so much, very interesting!!
Here's sunny but very very cold, almost like in the winter time!! Brrr!
I'm well, very well, I'm so happy that my homeopathic treatment goes much better than I've ever thought!!! Not only on that panic attacks, but on some other health problem I've had! I've never imagined that, especially that I know it takes time to get good results.
Sorry I visit you so rarely, I'm lazy and since I have my account on FB I'm spending too much time there...It's really addictive!:)) The funny part is that I always said that I don't want and I don't need FB!! And now....
@Giffy
I'm looking forward the next chapter, Sis!!
Wish you all a wonderful week! I'm sure we all we'll keep our fingers crossed for our dear Aksel!! Yoooohoooo!
Love you all, my friends!!! Kisses and hugs
Good evening, my Ladies!
ReplyDeleteI am back from a visit in beautiful Schaffhausen. We had a family reunion and we enjoyed the beautiful region with the vineyards!
@Ekaterina
Funny, as I read the new entry of Aksel, I had also the feeling he is back!
So many changes indeed!
You never know, perhaps he would love to run again a more communicative blog with us but somebody had something against.
Last night I had that feeling and I suppose it is not Jules!
You leave in a very warm country, Ekaterina! We need a warm coat, thick scarf and boots at the moment, especially in Schaffhausen it is rather cold!
@Dana
ReplyDeleteVery happy for you that you are fine, Dana!
The homeopathique remedies seem to be working very good, I can imagine that they are a great help for you!
I had the idea we have lost you somewhere, now we know, it is the FB! LOL
The main thing is you are happy & healthy, dear Dana!
I take since a while every day 1 or 2 spoons of honey and mix it under my morning Muesli! So I am every day thinking of you, Dana, because you suggested me to take honey!
My cough has disappeared and I hope to manage winter time better then last year!
@Giffy
ReplyDeleteWow, the next chapter, Giffy, would be great!
I am wondering what will be the content of the next chapter?
Presume, now you must be real creative! Think the best is the doctor goes skiing with Dana!
The best he can! LOL, and the fresh air, the beautiful sun and the powder snow are waiting!
@Corinna
Hope you had a great weekend too! Did you have sunshine in Bavaria?
@All Ladies
Have a wonderful week!
Send you hugs & kisses!
Good night!
@nicoletta haha yes i had sunshine,but i wasn´t in bavaria! i crossed the mountains on friday and came today back! lmao
ReplyDeletethe last weekend this year in italy it was so great! we was in verona once again!

i hope you all had a great weekend!
My dear @Nicoletta
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad that you feel good and that you think of me! You have to admit that I'm a honey-girl! haha Hope you'll not have health problems during the cold season.
I'm sure you had a great time at the family reunion. Especially if you drink a good wine there! :)
I don't forget about your remedy: red wine and chocolate! :))
I'll try to keep up with you all here, bc it's very hard to read so many comments! lol
Yes, blame it on the FB, it's really addictive and I'm so weak, I can't stop following it...
I forgot to tell that the Norwegian rider is fine, he's very busy and he has some problems at work, but he still writes me about once a week. He has a great sense of humor and he's a smart guy! I'm very glad to be one of his friends!:))
Ohhh, I'd like to take some skiing classes from "my doctor"!!! It would be great...and in the evening we can eat good food, drink a glass of wine and then have hot nights!! I'm not that shy anymore after the swimming lessons! hahahaha
I'm naughty, but I can't help...
Wish you to be healthy, my dear Nicoletta!
Good night and sweet dreams!
@Corinna
ReplyDeleteWow, what a weekend, dear Corinna!
Must be great to be in Verona and the South Tirol at the moment!
Unfortunately we had no sun in Schaffhausen, but the region is always nice to look at, and to see the family is beautiful.
Love all your Swarowski presents, they look great!
We have also a Swarowski shop in town, must have a look! LOL
Every year there is a big, big Christmas tree in the hall of the mainstation in Zurich, over and over decorated with Swarowski juwellery!
Somewhere I read they go on my travels to the manufactory of Swarowski. Could be very interesting! HaHa
And the absolute maximum I learned, you got the offer to go with your dad to Kitzbühel and will watch the race from the tribune!!!
Corinna, you are a very happy girl, you know!
Have a good time!
@Dana
ReplyDeleteHappy to have you here again, Dana!
Yes, all the internet work takes away so much time! LOL
That sounds good that the Norwegian guy is writing to you every week, so he did not forgot you!!
Could imagine, the doctor and you eating a fondue together in a cosy hat, a fire place in the background. I can almost here the sound of the wind outside! Very romantic!
@Giffy
Hope your pen gets ready very soon!
How is it going with your job?
@Ekaterina
Read an article about fruits and vegetable in Japanese shops. They must be real expensive in Japan, but the quality is stunning and the shop assistant polish every single apple and present them like Christmas decoration! HaHa
Must be real great to walk through the shops and do the daily shopping, Ekaterina!
@All
Enjoy a great week, hugs & kisses to all!
@nicoletta my dad is real jumpy "sprunghaft" yesterday he said we watch the kitzbühel race from the tribune! and today he said, no the simply cards are be enough!
ReplyDeletea good friend of him got the tribune card to his birthday and he and his wife are watching the race from the tribune and so my dad also said we did! and today he changed his opinion!
so i have to see, what i should order in the end of the week!
he said he tell me till friday which card i should order!
oh yes swarovski is real great!
@Corinna
ReplyDeleteCross my fingers for you, Corinna!
Think really tribune cards would be unique!!
@dana.
ReplyDeleteI've missed you so much, dana, and I'm jealous of your FB. ... ;-)))
I'm happy to see you're fine, and the news of the successful outcome of the homeopathic treatment makes me feel happy, too !
I put the mark on October 25 in my calendar, and I'm looking forward to the date, dana.
btw, did you ask him how often he goes skiing ? I think you can provide Giffy the material for her super novel.
It seems it becomes cold there, and has the new fireplace worked already ? It's still too warm here. ( sigh )
Hope you enjoy the FB, my dear dana. btw, how serious your FB addict is ? ha ha ... ;-)))
@Nicoletta.
ReplyDeleteSchaffhausen is a really nice place with many historic interest and beautiful nature, Nicolettchen ! How many relatives were there together ? Did your nice aunt you once talked about come, too ?
Well, the fruits & vegetable shops in Tokyo is not bad, but I prefer the market place in Europe, bc it looks more natural.
The big & tall Christmas tree with the countless Swarovski in the Hauptbahnhof Zurich ! How gorgeous view it is ! I think I have to visit Zurich in Christmas season someday, dear Nicoletta !
@corinna.
ReplyDeleteDid you meet " Romeo " ? ... ;-)))
Swarovski is great ! Thanks for the pretty link !
The plan about Kitzbuel sounds very exciting, corinna ! Please don't forget to take the flag ( of last year ) with you !
Now, dana is back, too ! and where is AM ? ...
ReplyDeleteHope she's fine, too ! Yes, she MUST, bc the season starts soon !
@All ladies !
Have a nice day & nice time !
Kisses & Hugs ! LOVE !
@Ekaterina
ReplyDeleteWe meet very regulary in Schaffhausen, it is one of the vine cultivating villages near the German border. Here my sister lives with her family.
We are a small group, only 8 persons, but I quite like it because we can easily speak together at the table and everybody profits from that.
Normally our aunt invites us, she is also the godmother of my sister and me.
She is now 86 years old and her health is to my great regret not anymore so good.
We drive usually from Zurich with my aunt, my partner and his son. My partner's son looks like Bud Spencer!
From time to time my partner makes the host and we always go to "Wilder Mann in Eggingen" a beautiful "Landgasthof"! The kitchen is unique!

My sister has 2 sons and they run beside of their jobs a motor bike business. They are also both doing motocross races and now the started with Enduro races in France and Germany.
Here I found a link about Enduro biking:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enduro
Whenever you come to Zurich around Christmas, we will meet under the Swarovski tree, dear Ekaterina! LOL
@All
ReplyDeleteWish you a great week!
Love you!
