Going ou naturele 2.
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

As i've already written in a previous mail about it, i'm going to add some words to it in this one too.

Since i've started knitting and exploring other roots and heritages on of the best things i dicovered about it was that at that moment time stops and you relax, forget about all the worries you have and can do much more later on throughout the day :)

All the things i've discovered so far are so interesting to me-the games my grandparents played, songs they've sung, food they've made (this part is the best-cooking traditional food-i've known some, but am learning many more now) and about all the things they've done.

What i don't like is that people are starting to forget their origin, how life was back then and are too much in this all modern technology and life we have one. I'm worried all this will be forgotten. As i've spoken to some kids there are many things they don't know and understand. But why is that so-because nobody tells them! How could they know then? Not everybody is like me, who wants to explore and ask questions. Hope this will start to change, because i think it's time we start thinking about others and about our origins, our mother Nature nevertheless ...

On the picture you can see our corn-rack or as it is called here "toplar". Nowadays we don't storrage hay in it, but as the techonology developed on - our cars :)

My fish
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Yesterday evening my goldfish died. Believe it or not - she helped me get through my troubles when i was in highschool. To some it might seem this fact ridiculous, but believe it or not such small creature can give you much.
So, may she rest in peace :)

Toothbrush-es
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I never thought i was going to write about toothbrushes, but i discovered today that not any toothbrush can be good (not that i didn't know that already).

When i was traveling around England i came across an "add"booth, where they tried to tell ppl that washing your teeth is important. Well-i knew that allready, but i wanted to see what they know what i don't yet. I discovered that i know everything they had to tell me, so they gave me a gift bag in which there was a toothbrush, toothpaste and a leaflet.
Well and then i forgot all about it ...

When i came home i put things back where they all belonged and didn't care about the toothbrush-until today. It was a high time for me to change it, so i opened new one i got during my travel in England. I always hated small brushes. When i was in primary school i even wanted to have toothbrushes as "big" as you could find one. So, this time i didn't have other choice and i tried new, small brush-and guess what!? I LOVED IT! It was so brilliant. I could go to all the spaces i wanted to, there is also a special gentle rubber for a gum which i thought i didn't like (this belief came from a toothbrush i had-it had a gum rubber on it and it wasn't pleasant to use it), but i did. So, this toothbrush fascinated me so much i had to write a whole blog on it!
Which one it is you wonder?! I don't like to do publicity for such things, but this time i will make an exception: http://www.colgate.com/app/Colgate360/US/EN/HomePage.cvsp

Since i'm writing about tooth care i'll also add my fav:) toothpaste: http://www.pronamel.us/

Dog collar that teaches?!
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

If anybody knows anythings about dog collar who teach a dog improper doings. I found a collar named Mutivet which is said to spray a dog when he does sth that he shouldn't with a citronella and that this spray annoys dog so much that he stops doing this habit of his (for example: you don't want your dog to wander around the village on the road by himself).
Does anybody know anything about this spray-is it really helpfull and harmless?

Here are a few links that i found of this product:

Fire
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

“Regions Caesar never knew
Thy posterity shall sway;
Where his eagles never flew,
None invincible as they.”Such the bard’s prophetic words,
Pregnant with celestial fire,
Bending as he swept the chords
Of his sweet but awful lyre. –> W. Cowper in “Boadicea” (1782)

* Time is the school in which we learn,
Time is the fire in which we burn. –> from Calmly we walk through this April’s day

* When you do something, you should burn yourself completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself. –> S. Suzuki quoted in Enter the Heart of the Fire : A collection of Mystical Poems (1981) by Mary E. Giles and Kathryn Hohlwein
* Hate is like fire; it eats you up from the inside-out. –> Babu
* As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words. –> W. Shakespeare

Love holds our lives together from day to day-it is a cure we depend on, because withouth it we can't exist. Love fills our souls to the top and it makes us feel warm and joyous.

G. B. Shaw's Quotes
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Some of these qutes (Feorge Bernard Shaw's) are so simple and true, that i must post them for all of those who love his work. For those who don't know him-in short: he's an irish playwright, who got a Nobel prize for literature and an oscar. His most known work is Pygmalion (also a film).
The first two qutes are one of my favourites.


1. The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

2. There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
o Plays Pleasant and Unpleasant, Vol. II, preface (1898)

3. The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity.
o The Devil's Disciple, Act II (1901)

4. There are no secrets better kept than the secrets everybody guesses.
o Crofts, Act III

5. It is more dangerous to be a great prophet or poet than to promote twenty companies for swindling simple folk out of their savings.
o Preface from Misalliance

6. Do not try to live for ever. You will not succeed.
o Preface from the Doctor's Dilemma

7. What is life but a series of inspired follies? The difficulty is to find them to do. Never lose a chance: it doesn't come every day.
o Act II from Pygmalion

8. Independence? That's middle-class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.
o Act V from Pygmalion

9. The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.

10. Life is not meant to be easy, my child but take courage: it can be delightful.

11. You use a glass mirror to see your face: you use works of art to see your soul.

12. If you have an apple and I have an apple, and we exchange apples, we both still only have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea, and we exchange ideas, we each now have two ideas.



P.S. If you want to know from which book any of this qutes is, just ask (i didn't write for them all).

Save the planet
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I'm posting here a link of funny and splendidly made commercials to aware ppl of our planet-to make it save!

Every day we do things to pollute our planet, why not start doing sth good for it-we're going to live on it for quite some while, so throwing a garbage in a bin, reducing electricity and water consumption, driving a bicycle or walk, using renewable resources, recycling, using energy-saving light bulbs isn't that hard, is it? Think about it!

http://animalssavetheplanet.com/

________________________________________________
In Slovene (a bit larger text):

Vsak dan počnemo stvari, ki počasi in vztrajno uničujejo naš planet. Te reklame nas opozarjajo na kaj moramo paziti in kako lahko pomagamo rešiti naš planet. Kaj bo pa to sploh pomagalo? Že z malim se začne veliko: kamen na kamen-palača, tako da se dolgoročno to naše početje, ki ga lahko opravimo spotoma, z leti obrestuje. Res je, da smo že veliko uničili, a če bi na stvari gledali le tako, da je pa potem vseeno, ali pomagamo ali ne, ali počnemo te stvari o katerih nam reklame govorijo ali ne, potem bi naš planet bil že zdavnaj še bolj zasvinjan kot pa je že sedaj. Tako da, ni res da je vseeno-vse se obrestuje, nam pa tudi ni tako težko ugasniti elektrike, zapreti pipe, če je ne potrebujemo, vreči smeti v koš itn.-kajne?

At his approach they immediately fled to secure to their garbs, and, taking upon themselves the form off seals, plunged immediately into the sea.

Next evening, have He was returning home by the strand, He spied has male and female phoca sprawling one has rock'n'roll has few yards out At sea.

The rougher animal, raising himself one his tail and fine, thus addressed the astonished man in the dialect spoken in thesis islands, “You deprived me off her whom I was to make my companion; and it was only yesternight that I discovered her outer garment, the loss off which obliged her to Be your wife.
