This is my Journal

For the most part it's friends only, but there is my Question of the Day, which is posted every weekday, and the occasional PSA.

Just about anyone is welcome here, but a healthy sense of humour helps, as does the ability to have a discussion without descending into name calling. I appreciate people with differing points of view as opposed to surrounding myself with those who always agree with me, so it is common for my opinions to go against those of my friends. It is also common that discussions can, at times, be very anti "whatever-it-is-that-you-believe." I simply ask that people play nice, and accept that others don't think they way they do.

Ultimately, though, this is a safe and drama free environment, and if you want to join the party, come on in :D

Thank you
To all of those who stood, and stand, on the line, who protect us, who are willing to fight to the end for us, and to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Thank you.

Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
 
When they come a wull staun ma groon
Staun ma groon al nae be afraid
 
Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear
Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears
 
Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Close yir een an remember me
 
Nair mair shall a see the sun
For a fell tae a Germans gun
 
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
 
When they come I will stand my ground
Stand my ground I’ll not be afraid
 
Thoughts of home take away my fear
Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears
 
Once a year say a prayer for me
Close your eyes and remember me
 
Never more shall I see the sun
For I fell to a Germans gun
 
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Where before many more have gone

Question of the Day  
What's your definition of dirty, baby,
What do you consider pornography?



Today's question is a lyric from George Michael's "I Want Your Sex."
My limits are pretty low... If there's nudity, I'll only watch alone, or with a special friend... :D
