Memories of Loved Ones

What is your fondest memory of loved one?
---
I had just gone through a divorce and was feeling like a failure. On that Thanksgiving my 21 year old son wrote a letter and read it to me in front of all of my dinner guests. He said how thankful he was for me and all the support I had given him over the years. How he felt he could never repay for the life lessons I had taught him.
---
playing hide and seek in the garden with my grandpa when i was little. he hid behind the rose bushes and cos i was so small i couldn't see him. i cried and cried cos i thought he'd left me but then he ran out and scooped me up in his arms and said he'd never leave me. he died in march 2006. love you grandpa bill. -x-x-x-

Concepts of God and Religion

i feel like I disappointed my pastor by getting baptized in my church and then not going to church very often. this makes me sad
---
You should worry about your relationship with God, not your pastor.
---
In Mica it says to do God's work nothing is said about going to church
---
Well said. Agree. NZ.
---
me to (little_nikki TM)
---
I've heard that we are not human beings having spiritual experiences, but spiritual beings having human experiences. So we are part of God wherever we go.
---
We are God, and God is us.

We are not made to spend our lives worrying about whether we disappoint other humans because that will always happen. If you spend your life worrying, you will never be good enough. It is our duty to take care of each other and of our Earth. If we do that, we will be the person we were meant to be.

Besides, the holiest place I've ever been was in the heart of a forest, looking out over a green valley. Church is where you find it.

Old Crow

Oh I like that - Church is where you find it! I don't go to Church but I pray and talk to God all the time.
---
Disappointing your pastor is not as important as disappointing God. Do something nice for someone today.
---
thanks for the kind words, i've been trying to figure out how to work the religion issue with my boyfriend and it's been hard. I really like the line, "Church is where you find it.." and where you feel it...

thanks! Sarah, Vermont
---
yeah to all of that
---
I wish people would keep their religion to themselves.
---
----
to be a good person is what it is all about. Do as Jesus would do.
---
I don't believe in religion, but I believe in being good to other people and taking care of our home, the earth. If religion helps you feel good about yourself and be kind to your fellow man, that's great. If it doesn't, leave it behind. Life is too short for guilt trips and meaness. Live, love, and enjoy those around you. If you want a religion, try this:
"Kindness is my religion"
(by the Dalai Llama)
---
I too, really like the "Church is where you find it". I read my Bible, and I pray right here at home, and anywhere else I feel led to do so. In the forest, on the beach, walking down the street. I pray as Jesus instructed, in private (to myself in public places). As much as I've read the my bible I have never read where Jesus promoted any one religion.
Religion is manmade.
The definition of Christian is Christ like. Follow God's word, and Jesus' example. God is the one you will ultimately answer to, not your Pastor :)

It's comforting to know that there are people who feel as I do out there - thank you for your messages - you have made me feel more at peace.

Evil Deleters

I dont like that your allowed to delete the bottles. To have the right to end anothers words becuase they are not to your taste. To stop any inappropriate messages we should be able to report them, for assessing by a moderator. I can never bring myself to delete another's message, even if I dont like them, becuase I know someone else might.

You want to delete this now dont you.

Haha
---
I have wondered that too. I write a nice little message and the first receiver deletes it....
NO, I WILL not delte this one! :D

---
I do hav to admit i delete the asian ones, cause there is just to many floating around and its a pain the butt

How friggin hard is it to PASS THE MESSAGE ON?? You're not the only one in the ocean you know? !!

But just a hint...soon you'll be able to find out if your message was deleted or not. They'll have message tracking and it will tell you. So revenge can be had on deleters. Haaaaa!

I am afraid to end this message now...LOL

must restrain myself....do...not...delete....

I read on a blog that some messages are being deleted for no reason. Just some smarty pants trying to ruin it for the rest of us.
I don't know the answer.
---
I quite like reading other peoples views even if they don't match my own.... I wont be deleting.... Anyway if they are offended with original message why not just send it back with no reply or have the balls to stand up for what they believe.....
---
I have discarded bottles before. When the subject matter gets too raunchy for kids, I delete. The site says fun, easy, and free. Keep it clean and I won't delete it. One poster was wrong, even if you track, you won't know who deleted your message. So there.
---
I must admit I used to delete those little squares mesages but in my own defence it was because I didn't realise they were in another language (Squarish!) I send em on now.
Have never ,ever received an unpleasant one.

Scariest Moments

What was your scariest moment?
---
I remember one moment at a ship this summer when we were getting off it the crowd begun to scream and going backwards. I thought a crazy driver was getting in towards the people but was nothing like it. Just two companies were angrily just fighting. I thought that was the end of my life. It was relly scaring!
---
Hmm...probably when I thought I was going to get caught after having done something I shouldn't have. I'm not going to say what!
---
Too many to pick out one that is scariest.
---
Flying over the Dolomites through air disturbance in a very small plane.
---
Too horrible abuse to even talk about here
---
I'm sorry about the abuse and I hope you heal soon.
---
In recent years the most scary moment was getting an official-looking letter from the IRS -- and as it turned out, it wasn't a big deal. But the IRS is scary.

But people facing real danger -- that's something else.

Teddy the Bear's Adventures around the World

' -.\_/,.'`
This is Teddy the Bear. He lives in Seattle and likes going to the Space Needle, riding the ferries, and looking for driftwood on the beach.

Seattle is nice, he tells me, but he's ready to see the world!
"Oh, really?" I ask. "And what is your plan?"
"How about putting me in a bottle and tossing me into the virtual sea?" he says. "Wouldn't that work?"
Well, I told him that would be alright. I'm jealous, to be honest, because I'd love to go myself, and I'll miss him, but I know he'll have fun and tell me about all of his adventures!
He packed his little suitcase and got his best pajamas ready for the trip.
I told him I'd ask you all to take him to all the fun places and teach him about the world.
Ok, here he is! You all have fun. Take care of Teddy for me please!
And I want to read about everything you do and see.
Bon Voyage, Teddy!

Teddy spent a few days with me in Kentucky USA.
We visited Mammouth cave national park, where Teddy was a bit afraid, being so far underground. We also toured a bourbon distillery, but I wasn't sure Teddy was old enough to have a taste, so we settled for just a smell. We went to Churchill Downs and watched the beautiful horses race. (Teddy's $2.00 bet in the 5th race made him a cool $120.00). We also visied Abraham Lincoln's birthplace, and Daniel Boone's grave. Now it's time for Teddy to move on, but if he comes back to me, we'll find more fun things to do.

Teddy ia having great fun with me in San Francisco California. We did have to get him a jacket as it is a little cool here now; he looks so cute in it. We got it in Chinatown and it is a shinny red and he almost looks like a Chinese bear. We had some Chinese food for lunch and then rode the cable cars up and down the hills to Fisherman's Wharf. Did you know the cable cars are America's only mobile national monument? Teddy got a little scared but I just told him to hold on tight. We walked all around the Wharf and ate crate chowder in bread bowls. And we check out the big whaling ship and watched all the street musicans and bought San Francisco t-shirts. After the big day of seeing the city, we went to dinner at the Top of the Mark (big hotel here where you can see the whole bay area.) We had a fine dinner but we both were tired after our busy day so we went to bed early.
Teddy wanted to be off early so I after breakfast I gave him a big hug and kiss and sent him on his way.

Embarrassing Moments


What's the most embarressing thing that has ever happened to you?
Mine is when we moved into our new home that we built, the fences behind us hadn't been put up. But that was ok because no house was there. Anyway after a shower I ran into our rumpus room to find some clean clothes. Our rumpus room has three HUGE windows facing the back of our property To my horror, 3 builders were building that fence in full view of my curtainless windows, to see me in all my glory. I hid in my room for an hour!! I was mortified!

I got into the wrong car at a drive in once and quickly handed the guy that was in there my tray of drinks and corndogs.When I saw his face, I realized that it wasn't my husband and I had to grab my tray back from him and beat a hasty retreat only to go 3 cars down. This was AFTER I had snatched a speaker off another car with my big 8 month pregnant belly trying to squeeze inbetween cars cuz I was in a hurry to eat my corndog! LOL That's why I had gotten into the wrong car cuz I was in a dither over that. My husband wouldn't take me home cuz he paid his money and he's staying!" and I was too embarassed to get back out of the car to use the restroom later on so I just sat right there in his car and peed my pants LOL LOL

You're sick. You people disgust me. I have never done anything as stupid as what you people have said.

*IMAO* I remember one rainy day my friend and I were talking about crushes then my friend pointed out that I'd look cute with some boy I knew from elementary school, so I got mad at her and attacked her with my umbrella then she slided all the way down the hill we were walking and her skirt was all wet like she peed on it :P (it was more embarrasing for her than it was for me) all the senior students were in fits :p

Great! Thanks for the smiles.
Just the other day, a group of boys were riding their bikes and wouldn't get out of the way of traffic. They were causing problems just to be 'cute'. I was the first car in line behind them and there were several cars behind me. I finally lost my temper and pounded on my horn. Well, my horn got stuck! It was blaring out on long BEEEPPPPPPPP! I had to drive like that to the next side street, park, and try to open my hood. My hood wouldn't open and the horn just went on and on. No one would stop and help me. People were standing in their doorways watching. And, worse of all, the group of little boys stopped across the street and were laughing so hard they were falling on the ground! christie Illinois

Funny how the question is "How is your day going?" and everyone answers about the WEATHER! It's 6:28 in the morning here so I don't really know how my day is going yet....

Well, my day (September 13) is nearly over, it's getting dark already. It's been a good day, my husband is recovering from a knee injury and doing well, the weather has been warm and sunny and I've been to the hairdresser. So now I'm hoping for a few nice bottles, then I'll head for bed and do a few Sudokus. I'm completely addicted to them. And tomorrow is sports day at my school, so no classes for me, just a few hours outside in the sunshine. Sometimes life is good.

From Law and Order to Dr. Who

I like the show Law and Order. My favourite version of it, however, is Special Victims Unit--where they just pile in the random, unimaginable things that could possibly go wrong. I have fun guessing.

Dennis Leary's Rescue Me is great. I thought the women were crazy and unbelievable until a co-worker told me about her husband's ex-wife. She has done pretty much everything two of the main women characters have done and what she has not, her daughter has. Who knew there were women actually like that?

When in Rome..

Do you think that if you go to LIVE (not just visit) in another country you should have to learn the native language AND agree to abide by the laws
---
Why would anybody want to live in a country with all the fear and uncertainty that comes from not being able to ask for help, defend yourself to the police, talk to your neighbors, seek medical treatment or the like?

And yes, you as the newcomer, have a citizen's responsibilty to obey the laws. It's not your country, you do not have the right to change the laws. Only if you decide to actually become a citizen do you have that right.
---
DONT GO SOMEWERE SAFE

i think it is not only rude but VERY disrespectful to live in a country and not even bother to learn the language. if you can't even be bothered to do so, GO HOME TO YOUR OWN COUNTRY - WE DON"T WANT YOU HERE!

Good and Evil Bottle Debate

-:all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing:-
---
Therefore, we must lead the fight against terrorism. Terrorists are evil and we must defeat them.
---
evil begets evil. we need to look for the source of said 'evil's' arbitrary predisposition toward the self-implied 'good.' money and resources have all but squeezed humanity dry. there are alterantives to energy, food, transportation and all the fundamentals of life. we need to explore and create, not destroy.
---
..what he said
---
Do at least one good every day.

RS
New Zealand, 19 Sept 06
---
How true is that - too bad the forces that be aren't as intelligent...
---
No you missed the point and the reality of the situation. Terrorists are themselves evil and therefore need to be destroyed--not just defeated. Anything less will not cure the problem. Remember, they will only be satisfied when YOU (and all like you) are DEAD.
---
But also recognise that not all muslims, afghan,turk,iraqui etc is a terrorist no matter their religion. The EXTREMISTS of any faith are the most dangerous......
---
All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is to keep leaving God out of it... 9/24/06-JMH in MA

take god out of the mix and they will find something else to hate about us

Teenage Love

Teenagers should not say that they have "finally" found someone. No you haven't! You found someone early in the game, congrats! I hate teenage girls.
---
Don't hate teenage girls. Knowledge of what love is comes slowly, it evolves through circumstance and time. The love you have in high school looks almost silly later on. I married at 19 and thought love was friendship and obedience to my husband's will and other silly things.
---
It's too bad people especialy teens think they need to be with someone.

Though I have been married for 19 years it is sad to hear when people say I finally found someone.
Accept who you are, live your life and meet people along the way. They will find you.

Looking for My Cat

I can't find my cat. I've called him all day. He always comes when called. He's only 2 and I don't think I could cope with another killed cat. My last one was poisoned by a cat hater!

Hope he comes back soon, healthy. I've had cats all of my life, and I know exactly how you feel when one of them goes missing. Maybe he's hanging around a female cat who is in heat, and will come back when his fun's over. Good luck.

Male cats are really the best, I think, very loving. In Texas, we sometimes lose cats to coyotes, and there are snakes, too. But male cats always roam and go missing for days, so I bet you'll get your cat back soon.

Im 29 and would love to love those days over and over again!!

---
Personally, I can't wait to get back to college! :-D
---
school stared here on august 14th-le in ap
---
Starting college in January.
---
School days - when I thought things were so complicated. Now I know they are and were "the best days of your lives" as previously stated.

---
I dont start till Sept 29th!
---
Blah Blah Blah Blah......

holidays start 21st sept 2006 here [queensland australia]

So glad to be out of school and working. Hated school but I know I needed it.
---
I didn't much enjoy school either.
---
School wasn't fun, but college is absolutely the best. School started August 28. Not too bad.
---
I didnt like school.. lol wish I had worked harder tho.. Lai~uk
---
If it weren't for school, you'd probably have no social life. So quit complaining! There are some people who don't get a free education like you!!
---
Actually we never stop learning...just different types of classrooms....Enjoy life to the fullest as often as you can....during school days or after....
---
Ok I don't think anyone was complaining. I believe the way I read it they were saying they didn't like school but were sorry now they didn't learn or pay more attention. So you could get off their backs, they learned their lesson.
---
Hated school, the nuns, the HORRIBLE nuns back in the 50's and 60's. School was a lot different then. BUT the fun afterwards with the kids from the public schools and the sock hops, and the 60's cars...and I could go on and on...best days~~the Summer of 69!

school is boring but you need it
---
Nothing is school is ever boring. Just open up your minds and get involved.
---
I hated school and I've learnt more out of school than I did while there.
---
On vacation here
---
Another homeschooler here. We have school year round, but for the most part it really is fun. Part of that fun is that I (the teacher) am often learning right along with my kids. They think that's great! Mommy has to do "homework" too! LOL

Hey, C in Chicago, I went thru the Catholic school system around the same time as you!!!! I lucked out, as I had Dominican nuns, and 90of them were fantastic. Gave me my thirst for knowledge and my liberal democrat political views. Summer of 69 rules!!!!!! Lynne PA USA at bottleparty 9-20-06

I was educated by the fist of the christian brothers.About half of them were really good the other half have a lot to answer for. School was not fun.
---
No more school here! I'm currently a stay at home mom. :)

Unanimity of Belief

"Fantastic doctrines (like Christianity or Islam or Marxism) require unanimity of belief. One dissenter casts doubt on the creed of millions. Thus the fear and the hate; thus the torture chamber, the iron stake, the gallows, the labor camp, the psychiatric ward.

That's true

indeed - which is why one single candle can absolutely descimate the darkness

Happiness and Life Choices

Are happy? Are you where you want to be - with who you want to be with? Have you made the right choices that got you where you are today? Or are you just content, and you think that is good enough?
---
I am very happy. I have a wonderful husband, two great kids, and 2 goofy dogs. But the most important thing is I am in love with Jesus and live my life for Him.
---
No, not happy here! Not anywhere near where I want to be! I thought I made the right choices and ended up wasting 3 years of my life on the wrong man who cheated on me!
---
Cheer up! You'll find the right one eventually, and your bad experiences are so you'll appreciate him even more :) -June ...
And i think that 80of men is made of jerks so try to find your happiness inside of you then you'll see that nobody can ever cheat on you again because you won't be hurt -Lucy(Paris)
---
Yes, what she said :)

---
Just be thankful you didn't waste more than 3 years. So many stay and have miserable lives. You can have a new beginning with a happy ending. I wish you the best.

i am at a satisfactory place in my life.
i have my family, my licence to drive, a car, an application in for uni, and now all i need is Mr Right. As long as his first name isn't always.

Happy? More like semi-content. Personally and financially I am not where I want to be. No, I haven't made the right choices in life, so no one to blame but myself. And at my age, I've pretty much given up on all of it.
---
Happines is a state of mind, and my mind states that I am happy, therefore I am.
---
I'm with the person I want to be with and am working on the rest. I have spoiled things somewhat in the past few years but have been given a chance to choose a new direction. We are lucky that we have the strength and intelligence to find a better future. Whatever happens, it will be an adventure. RG UK
---
No. Not happy, I haven't met any decent guys in years so at this rate I'm going to end up alone.
Oh well there are worse things
---
I think that if someones not happy, then they should do something about it. Not saying that it will happen overnight....but eventually you will get the payoff. Be strong, determined and don't let no one stand in your way of your dreams

The Sun and the Clear Pebbles of the Rain

This was the only message in the bottle when I opened it. It felt to
me like a swallow of Southern Comfort - powerful and with a great
after-glow. So, I wanted to post it here for everyone.

Sunny

"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the
desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across
the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading
home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting, over and over
announcing your place
in the family of things."
--Mary Oliver

Shout out from Moretuca, Mars!

Good evening, from Moretuca, A small city in the Hrandu contenant of
Mars. How are you?
---
We are very fine here on planet Earth. We have many problems to deal
with as do all of the corporal planets, but we do try to deal and work
through such with wisdom and creativity. We are happy most of the time
with occasional angst which we start learning to deal with at an early
age. So....that's how we are! At least for now!

Look out the Window

What do you see out your window?
---
Power lines..I live on the second floor.
---
a garden with to much plants and weeds. And a ugly neighbor who's checking
himself in
the mirror.....
---
I see a thermometer on a tree,two alleys,two houses,two more trees,
---
KFC is what I can see
---
I see a house, a pond, a street, a mailbox, 3 squirrels, some birds, and a
partridge in a
pear tree.
---
GoT no windows in this room
---
i see the trees, but its quite dark....its peaceful
---
I see rain...what a miserable day in Pittsburgh
---
I'm at work, so I see an apartment building, trees, and a parking lot.
---
I see a beatiful yard of green grass,a maple tree full of leaves in the middle
of the yard,
and a pretty white and orange kitty cat lying under the tree........N.J. 9-17-06
---
I see a tree with its leaves hanging over our privacy fence and behind it is our
neighbors
garage. Oh....and beautiful blue sky.
---
Wow I want to live where the pond and squirrels are...
---
all i see is tall grass which reminds me I need to cut my lawn.
---
OMG... One I started!!! SO Bottlers.. It CAN happen!!!! Spread the word!!!
<><><><><><>
---
I see apple trees in our orchard...
---
I can see a beautiful blue sky that has a few clouds dancing across it.. I see
our back yard
that my husband mowed the lawn on yesterday so it looks shinny and neat. I see
our
golden retriever "Honey" laying sunning herself…(I think she might be pregnant
cause she
is getting bigger around the middle) I can see our storage shed that I remember
still has
boxes in it that are yet unpacked from our move 3 months ago. I see the richness
of life
going on and birds that fly by without a care.
---
It's night right now, but during the day I can see the back parking lot for our
apartment
building and the back of the grandstand for the county fairgrounds. Let's just
say the dirt
bike races, demolition derbies, tractor pulls, rides and the announcers can get
kind of loud
in my bedroom during fair time.
