I find casinos fascinating places. All the different characters and I have never seen so much money simply chucked away on the turn of a dice.
To ask,where and which casinos have you been to??...My tenure in them was always in Londons' Mayfair region....and YES...the money "dropped" is truly amazing....£1 million a time was the norm at one of the clubs I was at...
If it is not imposing..please tell me more of yourself...and I will do like-wise...should you ask..
Till then....regards..Al
At the top of this page you will see a symbol (similar to a Fleur-de-Lis symbol), it is on the left and just before "Articles" - that will take you to a page layout for the forum and you can scroll through that and see all the different sections, click on whichever interests you.
On the right hand side of every page you go to is a blue tab with a white arrow - click on that and you will see several symbols including quote bubbles which will show if you have any chat messages waiting. The pin symbol below the quotes alerts you to any new comments on threads you have been involved in.
Once I found these two navigational tools, navigating this site became a lot easier.
Good luck 🙂
Hope the site meets your sociability criteria......
You are welcome to chat away, nice social people here. Just to remember the time difference, perhaps you are 5 hours behind,
Looking forward to your posts.
for about 5 and a transplant to Georgia. (Could not deal with the cold weather and snow any more). Anyway again hello to all.
I’m new here and would like to say hello and am looking forward to meeting new people and enjoying Silversurfers!
What’s medium are you interest in?
I like acrylics for its ease of use.
Ive dabbled in oils and water colour
I also like digital manipulation I’ve spent many years in photoshop, having a photographic background & recently had a bash at film editing and compositing,
It was fun I will do more when inspired.
What subjects would you like to paint?
Have you considered evening classes?
I considered being a professor but I continually swallowed my swizzle!:)
In your planting are your plans to harvest water for irrigation or only use desert species?
I designed my garden after I got it back from my children 7 years ago, I went for plants from around the world with similar climate, this freed me up to enjoy my garden as well as have time to explore other pastimes.
I live central UK I cannot be more centre each step leads me to the cost which is at least 100 miles in any one direction & I love the sea, not ideal but I make the most of when I am their , fishing off of my boat or my uncles boats or surfing at Fistral
How old are your dogs?
I have two Lucus terriers Holly 15yrs & Pip whose 5yrs
They are great company ok the conversation is a little one sided for sure I can tell they wished they could say more, I am just relieved the can’t when we have company:)
I cannot guarantee an intelligent conversation, although I am a good listener!
I hope you reply
Ed
You need a compass sextant and a degree in IT
To complicated
Just have a wall! Why try to reinvent the wheel the wheel only really worked when someone invented the second one!
There is a reason the break is in the middle of the pedals and we have a H shaped gearbox selector
Errrr
The few hairs I have left are not going to be happy soon!
I’ll have another bash
I have had to put as my “goes by” as Ward, as Ed, Edward & Woody have been taken and Bugger lugs! Wasn’t excepted, So please call me any of the above.
I have lots of interest, I wouldn’t describe myself as opinionated, in 4 words I would describe myself as: Handsome, Fit & Wonderful and a complete lire!
I have been on what I would described as the proclaimers diet, walking approximately 7 miles a day, most days, since September the 3rd, I am happy, in fact I am impressed with myself for walking that far with my two Lucus terriers, at my side, my neighbours are not so impressed as I have been returning home each day!
But that’s another story
Do more eat less, 267 miles traveled 123 miles to go before I walk 500 more.
The eating side of the diet, consist of everything I’ve eaten before but now no seconds or thirds a definitely no puddings.
I am breathing better, standing taller, and I am keen to do more, which hasn’t always been the way, as before September the 3rd I didn’t record the mileage as it was a struggle!
So I gather my thoughts whilst I walk, sometimes I do that well other times I should start the walk again!
Thank you for excepting me on the Silversurfers
I will have a look at this speakers corner, if it’s all about Britain leaving Europe it would be interesting to see where you all would like to put it, personally off the coast of Portugal would suit me find, as it would be a little warmer in the winter & I wouldn’t have to adjust my watch!
Sorry, I am trying to get my head around this site, was hoping to show you an image or two of my girls, well I say my girls, I don’t know who’s they are, Holly as been following me by my side for 15 years now.Shame I can’t just post an image.
You are so very correct, cute.
Have you dogs?
I would love to adopt a rescue dog but it will have to wait until I retire and have more time. I don't want to be one of those people who leave a dog home alone all day. Great that you are able to take your dogs on your walk, I bet they love getting out and about. I have a friend who works for a company where they can take their dogs into work, wish my employers would allow that!
Hope you are finding your way around the site.
I'm new too. I'm 66, married and retired since 2013. Looking forward to reading what others are doing and joining in conversations (once I get my head round the site!)
I'm Len.
I've not been a member of Silversurfers for very long.
Have you got any hobbies or ideal ways to spend your spare time and relax?
Growing my own food is pleasant just before joining here I was shelling Barlotti beans in the sunshine although being fair skinned I am easily burnt.
Laughter would be nice as it is in short supply these days.
Thank you for getting this far and I hope to read about your hopes and dreams.
