MICHA,    just saw your post,    all ok,     it is easy to jump to conclusions if we dont read thinfs the way they are intended,      

If only all the misunderstandings could be sorted in such a friendly fashion...

Two lovely members..done and dusted.:)

"grow a pair of balls " ????

Rise to the occasion???

Haha, very funny ladies, but I can't choose between your excellent suggestions LOLOL

I recently heard "grow a set"!

I've been accused of running off with your radishes. Whoever started that rumour should know rabbits prefer carrots LOL

What the outraged minority will never understand is the fact that people can be told what they may say, but no power on earth can control what they are thinking.  I may be saying "What a generous, forward thinking person you are" but at the same time thinking "What a wanker".

In the news currently is the word MARRIAGE that is about to be hijacked,

whatever a homosexual couple do it is very difficult to become a man and woman which has historically been a religious term for the wedding of man and a woman.

Yes the homosexuals should have the same righs but keep the word marriage out of it.... after all it is claimed the homosexuals want equal rights under LAW not under some religion.

It is impossible to hijack the word "marriage" since it can mean many things and I'll explain. 

Since c.1400, the word has been applied figuratively to any close union or blending of any two things. The word dates to c.1300 and is from the Anglo-Norman mariage. Ultimately it is from the classical Latin verb maritare, to marry, used to refer to people, animals, and the crossing of grapes in viticulture and the nouns maritus/marita, husband/wife. 

I agree the  word "gay" was hijacked, but not by the gays. The word "gay" was used in the time of Oscar Wilde to describe his flamboyant dress code and being he was homosexual, it stuck. The homosexuals, as far as I know did not hijack it.

Abby, though I tend to agree in principal, but we all have to recognise the fact that it was only recently that John Howard changed the meaning of marriage without consultation and without an expensive plebisite.

I have to wonder why all of a sudden the government is not capable of doing its job?  It is because John Howard interfered with the definition of marriage that we we are going through this now, in an attempt tp apease the ultra right of his party, he has created unease and suspicion within the "Gay"comunity.

It is 4 years ago that it has been rejected 98 to to 42 against

Abby - please explore the details of who voted which way in that vote, and why.

The numbers do not reflect the real opinions of members. 

You have left out the important detail - parties.

"It is 4 years ago that it has been rejected 98 to to 42 against"

What relevance has that got to 2016 and even less in 2017 when the plebiscite will be held. People are getting used to the idea - 4 years make a lot of difference.

She's been sitting up there for a week now Tedwalker, totally ignored , time to go to hell and back...one cant altogether ignore the devil...even less a she devil..

So here's one comment to keep her happy...

C'mon babe...lets party...

OK cranky.

Well let's have a crowd,

and as per usual in here.....I wont disappoint...

Along comes a " Holy Maiden"..party pooper...LOLOL

The End..

Now  the end, hahaha

Banjo -  I think I'll settle for that gorgeous hunk.

Not without me you won't...lol

There is more than enough for two there Hola..

What a considerate Panda.. xx

Sorry ladies.  Don't you think that with all those feathers, he might be very happy, sorry, Gay???

No need to be jealous innes :)

I am sure you will find one of these in heaven too

Innes...

I'm going back up to Banjo's offering Innes...

Just sitting him on the sofa and snuggling up to his feathers is enough to keep me happy, the boyfriend can make the dinner and wash up... lolol

hmmm, that's probably Ray in  his feathers hahahaha

Well, in that case Reagan, I have no worries then...!

C'mon Hola...times a fleeting...lolol

Sorry Thea.  I am fully aware that Abby was never an Angel.  When in bed, you never judge a partner by whether she is an Angel or the Devil.  I would never trust either, but would look forward to the experience with both.

enjoy your convalescence Reagan.

He's still jealous of me Cranks LOL

Like your reasoning innes!

Oh dear, oh dear..

This is what happens when you are divided in life...lol..

haha, gotcha  Tiger!!

Stay on the safe side innes and take some Viagra with you

Great advice Abby.  Pity you are so far away.  I would love to prove that the Viagra is not always a question of age.

Well innes what can I say

Perhaps if Clinton doesn't win you may be able to work it off 

Innes, you don't need viagra

Abby, I am not certain if that is an offer or an outright rejection???

More flying feathers... !!!

Well, hurry up then Hola...We have to nab him before he stops preening and looks up to see two senior maidens hurtling towards him...

Catch him unawares...lol

Sorry ladies, he's already been turned into a feather pillow LOL

"Oh No'...I just knew it !!'

Funny you should come up with the "POOF" now.  Isn't that what I suggested yesterday???

No Innes...That's exploding feathers...lolol

Been and gone Tedwalker..

It fizzled out with a heavenly finale...

But it was one hell of a party...lol

All on his lonesome now :(

Poor devil
