It's probably true but I don't think it's only humans in charge of it. Earth suffered climate changes even before humans appeared. We're part of a solar system and its evolution also influence the climate. I also think that the climate on the other planets of our solar system is changing although they're not inhabited ( at least to our knowledge).
What are you doing in the nights when sleep won't come?
Had this a few times last year where I just could not sleep at all. Until about 6am and was due to get out of bed an hour later.
I got so fed up, that I used to get up and go downstairs and watch TV, or read a book. Or listen to music.
Didn't often work.
Do you suffer from lack of sleep often?
Matter of fact I'm exhausted most of the time. I have a very demanding job not to mention that I work in a very unfriendly environment. All I need when I leave work is to relax a bit but you know I can't and the stress at home is even bigger. I'd like to have a good long sleep but I have to wake up from time to time to see that everything is OK. It's difficult to fall asleeep again and to avoid thinking af my troubles so i use to browse the net, I want to do it for ten minutes but then i stay an hour. Sometimes I feel I'd like to sleep at 8 or 9 pm but there are responsabilities that I have to do and miss the sleep. Then I fall asleep on tv with the lights on and the tablet on my chest. I think I'd like to have a normal sleeping programme....
Or just to sleep when I want and how much I want..
Do you eat at the same hours every day?
Try too as much as possible. The only exception being Sunday, when main meal is in the middle of the day.
Do you need an alarm to wake in the mornings?
If it is earlier than my usual time, yes. Although when I really need to go somewhere very early I often wake up just before the alarm goes off :s
Do you use a wristwatch?
I don't USE a wristwatch but sometimes, esp. on summer time, I WEAR one as I like it as an accessory.
These days I'm crazy about buying a new one but I can't decide on colour ( love the golden rose but it's difficult to match ) size ( I'd like a big one but it doesn't suit me ) model ( lot of shapes on the market, all beautiful ). The real problem is that the ones I like are rather expensive. I have the money but I want to be sure I make the right choice.
Do you ( or members of your family ) clean the house or you pay someone to do it?
We have someone come in once a month to do a thorough cleaning and we do a weekly clean up in between.
Do you do your own car maintainance - oil changes, filters, etc.?
basic stuff yes, but anything that will take more than 45 minutes to do, not usually. I love cars and motorsports etc but I am a total clot when it comes to anything mechanical.
What plans have you got for easter weekend?
I'm going rabbit hunting.
What do you do for the holiday?
If you mean Easter:
I won't cook the traditional meal as I don't like lamb and am a lousy cook anyway. But I shall accept any invitation from family/friends to join the easter lunch if my own family conditions permit this.
I shall paint a few eggs, probably only red cos I don't have the patience with too many paint pots.
I must go to the cemetery and offer eggs and panettone for my dad's and the rest of the dead family souls.
As every year I shall go to the midnight service at the church but only to take "the light". Well, the church is round the corner and I have no excuse.
I shall eat a lot of romanian type panettone and drink a few glasses of red wine ( I apologize in advance for some dumb things I shall say then ).
I'll speak on the phone for hours with all the relatives and friends to congratulate each other.
BTW, the othodox christians will celebrate Easter on April 12.
Is it the custom to paint eggs in your country?
It is done here yes. Its not a massive tradition these days, but you do still see it around. Its now mostly chocolate eggs.
Do you have chocolate eggs for easter?
Chocolate eggs and rabbits are only for kids. Tradition is to knock the hen eggs.

Do you cook lamb for Easter?
As far as I know thats not a tradition here. We eat hot crossed buns.
What are you up to this weekend?
I'm going to see a soft porn movie. Right now. :p
Same Q
I am going to see a soft porn movie in Bucharest right now. :eek: Might see you there ;)
Whats the best thing anyone said to you recently?
Haven't seen you there. There were only 7 people in the theatre. Two of them about your age, but not you. I mean none of them was smiling.......:laugh:Quote:

What was/is your fav thread on the forums?
This one or the FGP thread in F1.
Do you collect anything?
Money in a bank. :p
What car wiould you like to drive?
Always fancied a Lotus or Ferrari. Dreaming though :p
Do you grow any plants or flowers?
erm grass, weeds etc. Have 2 pohutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa) trees in the garden as well. They look stunning in the summer (google and see :)) plus some bird of paradise plants. Would love to grow a jacaranda, but the local climate would prob kill the thing.
At what stage in your young life did you decide on your chosen career path?
My decision to become a gardener came through horrid circumstances. After doing a lot of agency temporary work, my Mother had her stroke when I was 19. At that point I took over doing her garden, which I couldn't bare to leave to grow wild. While caring for her, I kept gardening and enjoyed it. So when she was well enough to potter about and I returned to work at 21. I looked for work in gardening. Now 8 years later I have started my own business.
Have you got a story where life throws up something unexpected which changes your life?
Several. I lost my much better half in a road accident a few years ago, she was hit by a drunk driving his car, when the bastard couldn't even walk without falling over. Changes your whole outlook on life, it has made me completely and utterly intolerant of drunks etc. Had other changes as well, most of them for the worse i.e I withdrew into myself for quite a while, and many of my friends kinda drifted off (not their fault at all) and I still spend more time on m,y own than most people do, but it also made me stronger as a person, and taught me to cope with almost anything the world throws up :)
What things can instantly change your mood?
When I'm in a bad mood it's easy to cheer me up. A happy song, a good movie or even a funny post on the forum can change it.
Otherwise it's also easy to get sad, esp. when I have to deal with rude and uneducated people, or liars, or arrogants or thrusters.
Do you know to play chess?
yes. I play quite poorly though, I basically play one move at a time. I started trying to play properly by planning 5 moves ahead, but the number of variations that led too made my eyes spin and my head nearly exploded.
What other intellectual type pursuits/interests do you have?
erm...... not sure I have any. :confused:
I don't do masses of intellectual.
Do you laugh regularly or are you quite serious? It won't surprise Gadjo to know I smile and laugh an awful lot.
Yes, you won't. Smiler! :p
Well, that's the contradiction. I look like a very serious person but I laugh a lot, sometimes even when I'm alone in the street I laugh remembering something ( an old Romanian saying says that only dumb people do this :confused: ).
I have coworkers who had to move to my office and are surprised I'm always joking. They say ''I didn't know you're like this". I blame this confusion on being shy with people I don't know.
Have you ever had a good laugh in a moment you shouldn't ? ( like when you're in school and a frightening teacher may punish you )
All the time. Not sure if it is a defence mechanism, or if I am just slightly (or not slightly) mad.
Can you laugh at yourself, or do you get upset if you are the person being joked with?
I can take a lot of ribbing and self mock. Think it comes from Football and that dreaded word "Banter", it helps you laugh at others and be laughed at without over reacting.
Do you think laughter truly makes you feel better?
Yes, it can also make people around you feel better too. When I visited my friend Alicia in hospital last week, I tried to keep laughing and joking with her, made us both feel better and take her mind of her accident and broken bones.
Do you intentionally do strange things to have people laugh at you?
Not really. I try to be funny but not do funny things per se.
What will be your next car/bike?
Some kind of jeep. I want to look like our nouveaux riches. :p
Do you intend to move your residence?
Yes. Don't know when but I want it to happen now.
Do you like to live in a house or in an apartment?
I prefer a house for the privacy and quiet (not to mention the tax write off here).
Is your current car a manual or an automatic transmission?
Two are 6-sp autos and one is a 6 sp manual.
Now that spring is here are there any outdoor activities that you're really looking forward to?
Anfield, same Q, but winter activities :p:
Yeah. Drinking beer on the Old Center terraces. :p :beer:
Do you like rabbits?
(Weird question.....:eek: )
I always liked the musical they starred in....Hare. :D
Have you ever gone to a nude beach?
:laugh: :laugh:
I spent a lot of holidays in 2 Mai, a small village by the Black Sea that was famous for its nudist beach (even during the Ceausescu's time ). But I always went to the " La Textile" beach. But for curiosity I used to stroll a bit at the nudists. Ha, ha.....With my clothes on, of course.
I remember that I was 16 and a pain in the arse for my 24 yo brother who had to take me in his holidays. A girl in his group said Tomorrow we'll go to the nudists and I was horrified to go with my bro and his best friend. She said I'm narrow minded cos I'm 16 yo and refuse to go. :laugh:....Poor boys had to come with me La Textile.
Same Q. :p
No, not sure where any are in NZ. To be honest if I was sunbathing on a nude beach Greenpeace would try to refloat me :D
What is the next big sporting or cultural event you are looking forward to?
The opening of the Australian Rules season is always something fun :DQuote:

Now back to it - Theatre no not really, mainly because we only have am-dram in New Plymouth and they can turn anything into comedy.
Do you like Shakespeare?
