Finding a partner is probably not too difficult.

Finding the partner is another story. And that's what I want.
Not just some dude, but this great guy that is truly a good match and who complements me.

Not correct.
It's not that you have a certain amount.

It's about telomere length. As long as your telomeres stay at normal length, which will be the case when you live a truly healthy AND happy life, you will get hundreds of years old.

If you don't live a happy life (stress is detrimental and Western lifestyle is chockfull of stress) there's wear and tear of telomeres and your lifespan gets shorter and shorter.

But... they can get longer! Spend 3x 10 mins a day in gratitude and they will get longer again!

And there ARE people on the planet right now that are so old no one knows exactly how old. They've never been registered as they're from before the time people got registered to begin with and they live far away from regular civilisation.
They are allegedly around 400 years old, but who knows, maybe they're even older.

There's also official registration of Chinese military of a man who joined the army in his 70s (!!!) until he was in his 90s(!!!). It is registered as well when they sent him birthday cards:100, 150 etc. He lived to be almost 200 years old.
Chinese official records are very meticulous and trustworthy. He'd had quite the number of wives and loads of children and grandchildren.
He was born somewhere around 1730 and died around 1932. (can't recall the dates from the top of my head, you can Google it).

I'm not going to reply to each comment as I usually do.
What I have read is that people here aren't familiar with the science and scientific facts that I'm familiar with.
What I see is that everyone is leaning on the old Newtonian stuff which in this case is pointless.
And based on that people think they know what they're talking about, discarding everything else without even asking questions. That's what always flabbergabbers me, the closed-mindedness of people.
As opposed to try and ridicule the one that brings knowledge that you don't have, maybe educate yourself first.
Epigenetics, telomeres and so on. Bruce Lipton, Gregg Braden, the real science, not the old stuff.
Once you've done that, you can come back here and say "Dang, you're right!!"

Finally another person who understands!
I always say "I'm not infected" when people want to know if you got that vaccination. The vaccination is the infection, or the poison.

Ever since that to-do I refuse to take any government shot. Not that I took any, always skipped the flu shot that I can get, but just to make a point.
I no longer trust what they try to put into our bodies. F*** 'em!!

Risk???
The best and most sophisticated defense against any virus or bug is our own immune system!!
And that gets undermined by vaccinations.

There may be some things you would want a vaccination for, the black death for instance. But even that still occurs, claims a few lives each years incl. in the US.
And yet the masses do NOT get ill, do NOT die so clearly we don't even need a vaccine for that.

The whole Covid thing was exaggerated. Sure people died and some got ill. But that's still not a reason to mass inject some hastily cooked up substance in almost the entire world's population!

The only reason to go for such drastic measures is when we have something like the plague on our hands like in the 14th century when dead body were piled up in the streets.

What the ones in power do know now is how to get the masses to happily accept some substance into their bodies.
Considering they want to expand on that, chips and chit... all the dumb sheep that went for it taught them how to get that done.
And who knows, you may already have gotten chips and whatnot injected.

Thanks, I'll check it out!!

OT - Heads of State - 2025
Rating 6,4
My rating: 9 or 10

Really good movie, great entertainment. Action, right amount of humour, and Idris Elba
Well worth the watch.

Scott & Bailey
British crime / police series - 2011-2016
Rating 8

It was captivating. Also had stuff in it that made my jaw drop. Couldn't believe the law in the UK actually works the way they show it to work in the series. Totally ridiculous.
Like a woman with a horrible past full of sexual abuse and even murder of lodgers by her parents came forward about it after a police visit had triggered her memories.
It had all happened when she was a young girl and she had suppressed it all in order to have a bit of a life.

Then she got arrested for not having come forward with the information sooner.
WTF???

I know Dutch justice system is lame, too soft, but the kind of things I came across in this series was close to medieval.

Nevertheless, an okay series. I would not rate it 8 but 6,5-ish.
Worth watching though.

So if a man decides he wants to propose it would mean a woman has to tell him everything he wants/demands to know???

No offense, but what century are you living in?

Him deciding to propose does not suddenly make the woman subservient. It does not give him the right to demand anything.

And what I'm missing in the picture you paint: where and when does the man tell the woman about his history?
Why he divorced, how long he's been single, how many women he had sex with over the years, how often he dated and so on.

I as a woman find that important to know.
I don't want a man who's a relationship-hopper, or who's had a gazillion one night stands, nor a serial-dater. Also not interested in a man who's never been married.

Where's the part in your picture where the man opens up about his past dating/relationship behaviour?

Or do you think it's okay for a woman to have to tell him intimate stuff and marry him without knowing what he's been doing?

The thought that a woman has to justify how many different (sex) partners she's had is really extremely old-fashioned!

I as a woman don't want a man-wh*re nor a commitment-phobe.

Get with the times. It's 2025, not 1725!

Thank you, Julie :)

Age is just a number is said so often here.
Personally I feel it's a really naive statement.

Why is it naive?
Are you as 20-30 year old interested in an 70-85 year old who's in a scootmobile, needs a walker, has wrinkles, is incontinent, has loose skin and sagged bodyparts and cannot even bend over to pick something up from the floor when they drop it?
And you're younger than their grandchildren?
Get real!

When is age -maybe- just a number?
According to the Essenes we have bodies that can last at least 900 years (source Gregg Braden, scientist).

In that case age is just a number, although even then there'd be vast differences in life experiences and thus wisdom someone has.

There are currently people on the planet who are potentially around 400 years old.
They live far away from society, certainly Western society, and live in healthy clean environment, no stress and the shizzel that comes with Western lifestyle.

We can live much longer, but then we'd have to abandon our lifestyle and the way our societies are construed.
It'd mean moving away from the whole monetary system & jobs that we don't even like as these only wear us out. They give us so much stress and anxiety that they have a serious impact on the length of our lives.
This is scientific.
Then there's the belief the masses have that we die around 85 and that old age comes with a body that breaks down.

So unless we can live at least 900 years like the Essenes said we could, it's just a really unintelligent thing to say that age is just a number.

(That's me being polite and not saying "it's total b*ll*x)

I finished the painting a few days back and I'm very happy with it.
It's such a typical style, I love it!
Someone on an artist forum said it looked like a book illustration and at first I didn't get what he meant, now I do.

It's one size up from my usual choice of canvas size, it's 50x60cm

I'm calling it "Return to Carcassonne"

Having a group for "50 and older" is really daft.

I'm on a dating site for 50+ so same thing.
Average age there? 70 and older!
What the hell am I going to do with such an old geezer??

It's ridiculous to put everyone from 50 with the pensioners. It's too vast an age group with way too many differences in interest, mobility, mental acuity and so on.

Younger people get smaller age groups, but after 50 it's like "We don't know what to do with these leftovers. Chuck 'em all on one pile!"

It's the same with speed dating. You're thrown in with everyone that above 50. Chances are you get old grandpa's with walkers turn up.

Really stupid as there's a large group of singles in their 50s.

Oh, is the Schumann Resonance on the rise again?
In any case, go with the flow and enjoy the ride!

I have already visited Morocco.
Maybe one day go back to visit Chefchaouen but if it doesn't happen, I'm not bothered.

I also really like Chris Pratt!

The Jurassic World movies, The Terminal List, The Tomorrow War.
Great actor!

A new male actor to fill in the gap of playing alpha males now that all the previous ones have gotten way too old for that.



Bryce Dallas Howard
The female lead in the Jurassic World movies.
I haven't seen her in anything else, but I like how she convincingly lets Claire's character develop.
First she's rather callous, business & career woman.
In the end she's soft, vulnerable, loving and lovable. A warm personality.
She did that really well!

Thank you, Julie :)

I've given up on The Sandman.
It was so slow paced that I grew tired of it.

Stir fried courgette, mushrooms, red paprika, paksoi in bit of ketjap and beef minced.

I've gotten a lot further :)

Worked on the armour which is done.

Green foliage on the tree and made that foliage a lot wider.

Added the extra rock/mountain in the middle as I felt there was too much nothingness there.

A few rocks in the water.



Getting to the stage where it's finishing touches. Have more work to do on the path, add grasses, some small shrubs maybe.
And of course the knight's hands & legs, stir-ups, reins, and the legs of the horse need some work.

But... the end is near.

I never saw it as 'brave' but as 'smart'.
They created this wave of fear that was mostly unsubstantiated.
Yes, some got sick, yes, some died.
But what I've heard is that loads suffer more from the effects of the poison and many have died from it (heart attack etc).

In essence any vaccination undermines & weakens our immune system which is the most sophisticated protector of our bodies.

Of course there are diseases that are so dangerous it would warrant getting a vaccination, if available.
I never saw the need for that with this virus.
Had it been like the plague pandemic, I would've lined up to get my shot.

Not brave, just using your head and common sense.

And, to be honest, I still wonder if this entire pandemic was created to have the opportunity to inject almost the entire world population with a chip or the like...
Another reason to not get it.
