    I never understood the logic of this. It still makes a sound whether anyone hears it or not. If you shine a torch in the face of a blind man you are still shining the torch even if he can't see it.

    Does anyone have other similar examples of "potted philosophy"?

    I have quite a few, but most of them wouldn't fit on a family forum.

    Do you still want me to post them?

    yes, sure

    (as for the tree in forest thing..it is like quantum mechanics - the "observer" makes things happen - so if somebody is there, then he will hear the sound...ah its difficult to explain on a forum!

    do you like science?

    No. I'm too dumb to understand logical things.

    Are you interested in any form of art?

    In the past I went to the theatre a few times, but as for paintings and sculpture etc. I never have looked much into it.

    Do you like Pug Dogs?
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

    In the past I thought they're ugly. The one in my avatar - her name was Carla- was brought by my cousin's daughter from Italy and I was "how could you get such an ugly dog?". My cousin who for years couldn't stand having a pet in her home started to love her and finished by keeping her for herself. Then during my holidays at her house in Provita I found out what a funny and loving dog she was. I loved her to bits and we even used to celebrate her birthday. She passed away last year but my computer is still full of her pics.


    Would you like to have a pug?

    nope....I love dogs but I do not like pugs sorry...although I met a pug once on the road who was very friendly. But for some reason I don't warm up to them much. I would like to have a German Shepherd though.

    do you think you will ever have a dog yourself?

    No. I'm not able to take care of myself. I'm not able to take care of my old mother. So I'm definitely not good to take care of a dog. Can't see myself as The Lady with the Dog (classic Russian movie )

    Have you ever had a pet?

    Yes - many. In my life to date I have had a border collie called Rinty, a black lab called Sam, a 50/50 cross irish wolfhound/german shepherd called radar, 3 cats, 4 rabbits and up to 5 tanks of tropical fish.

    At present though I dont' have any but I would love a Komondor



    Can you look at the picture of a Komondor jumping and not break into a smile?

    No. I didn't know about this breed, never seen one.

    How would you take care of a Komondor's fur?
