Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:04:44 GMT 30 http://greasy.com/itsjustme/hour_atwork.html There I sit, behind my desk. The last hour before I will be off for 5 weeks. Thinking about last weeks, they were busy but they also were special. Think about the coming weeks: what will happen? Some of you deal with big issues, like health and emotional feelings. I cant help it but they are keeping me busy as well. Sometimes you feel a little helpless not able to do anything at all about certain situations. I will just mention two of my dear friends. To Martin I will say: I want to wish y ... Thu, 3 Jul 2008 08:14:02 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/break.html A man escapes from a prison where he's been locked up for 15 years. He breaks into a house to look for money and guns. Inside, he finds a young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair. While tying the homeowner's wife to the bed, the convict kisses her neck, then goes into the bathroom. While he's in there, the husband whispers to his wife, 'Listen, this guy is an escaped convict. Look at his clothes! He's probably spent a lot of time in jail and hasn't seen a w ... Tue, 1 Jul 2008 23:13:21 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/just_post.html Just before I am off for my holidays next Sunday to Croatia, I want to write a little post. I just feel in the mood for that. I dont know why, but sometimes I have those emotional "moods" in which I just need to write things down. I also just send a mail about the same thing to a good friend of mine. Looking back to the last years on Blogster and, more recent, on Greasy I must admit it feels good to have some fantastic friends here. My friends list almost always was the same here last year ... Tue, 1 Jul 2008 07:52:07 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/confused_2.html It has been quite a weekend. What started with an occasional "hi, how are you?" after not talking (without any reason btw, we just werent online at the same time) to my friend D for quite some time, ended in some serious and good chats with him. His situation kept me busy (and still does). There always has been a "special something" between us because after all he was my first online e-friend whom I met on yahoo. I was indeed confused last Friday. D was rather desperate and I understood hi ... Mon, 30 Jun 2008 08:08:05 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/confused.html As most of you know i chat now and then. I cooperate in a chatroom and I use Yahoo messenger now and then. Tonight one of my earliest e-friends, lets call him D, was online and i just said "hi how are you" cause thats the way you usually start a chat. Well his answer made me feel sad. For 4 and a half he has been in a relationship with a guy who is a bit younger (call him M)and still was studying. They both live in Serbia and it isnt easy for gay guys to have gay relationships. The family ... Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:20:15 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/preferences.html Where to put your preferences, always is a difficult thing to do. That is in work but also in personal life. Sometimes I have the wish there are more then just 24 hours in a day. In personal life it is sometimes difficult to choose what kind of things you like to do in your "free" time. Do you want to go outside for a walk or for a bike-tour? Or do you prefer to stay inside and do some household work or use time for hobbies. Fact is sometimes the house need to be cleaned as well. We actual ... Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:23:18 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/dutch_defeated.html And away is the "orange" dream. I know its been a while since I left a post here. I was in mourning badly..... kidding now. Last Saturday our national soccer team played the quarter final of the European championship in Switzerland. We had to defeat Russia. well to be exact: it was a disaster watching it. "orange" was favourite but played so terribly bad... Russia won! The only positive thing of it was the fact that the Russian trainer is Dutch (former coach of the Dutch team lol). We watc ... Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:15:07 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/50_things.html thx to Brian, Matt, AJ and all who answered them... 1. What do you add to your coffee? sweetener (no sugar lol) 2. What are you reading now? The cathedral at sea (by Falcones) I will start with. Last book I read was : house of the mosgue. 3. Do you own a gun? No. 4. Are you registered to vote? DO you vote? Yes and yes (I Always vote for labour party here) 5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? usually not, depends on subject. Last time i had to go was for an enlarged prostate an ... Wed, 25 Jun 2008 10:55:39 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/dont_cheat.html To my darling husband, Before you return from your business trip I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick up truck when I turned into the driveway. Fortunately not too bad and I really didn't get hurt, so please don't worry too much about me. I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into the driveway I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake. The garage door is slightly bent but the pick up fortunately came to a halt when i ... Fri, 20 Jun 2008 12:51:34 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/just_nice_story.html Peeing in the Bushes A little old lady is walking down the street, dragging two plastic garbage bags, one in each hand. There's a hole in one of the bags, and once in a while a $20 bill flies out of it onto the pavement. Noticing this, a policeman stops her. "Ma'am, there are $20 bills falling out of that bag... "Damn!" says the little old lady ..."I'd better go back and see if I can find some of them. Thanks for the warning! Well, now, not so fast," says the cop. "How did you get all that ... Fri, 20 Jun 2008 12:47:54 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/just_video.html When you want to know why the France football team lost their game...This is how they arrived at the stadium (its from the Dutch news, but I am sure you can follow it all Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:46:31 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/community_social_sites.html What's the reason sites like Facebook, myspace, MSN and Yahoo Messenger are so terribly popular. I can understand the MSN/Yahoo Messenger ones. I myself use them both as well. Its a nice way to communicate with, there they are again, e-friends. Its an easy way to share file and pics with and its another emailadress. Socialising on Yahoo/MSN can be fun. It also is a nice way to talk with relatives when they live far away. Its not needed to use the , expensive, phone. You even are able to pu ... Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:04:12 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/just_article.html Last night we won again ( Romania I am sorry) and I am just a little proud again..... Euro 2008 Winter's Word: Dutch fans paint the towns and trains of Switzerland orange By Henry Winter Last Updated: 12:01pm BST 14/06/2008 Have your say Read comments When it comes to off-field life in the Group of Death, the Italians have the classiest suits, the French the most stirring national anthem, the Romanians the most smokers and the Dutch by far the best supporters. Euro 2008 Winter's Word: Doub ... Wed, 18 Jun 2008 09:05:28 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/personals_2.html I didnt expected so much reactions on my last blog. It feels good there are more bloggers with good e-friends. Sorry to hear that some of my friends here have negative experiences with e-friends. People not being honest indeed is a thing you should be aware of here on Internet. But, when you are too easy believing and too easy trusting, it might happen that the ones you trust seemed to be totally different. Pity but true. ( I trust toom easy too btw) Btw not only having e-friends is feelin ... Wed, 18 Jun 2008 08:13:11 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/personals.html Last week several bloggers wrote a more personal blog then they used to do. I always like reading these kind of posts cause I am always interested in whats going on in someone's mind. Most of the ones in my "friends" list write already rather personal, but some of them write mostly about certain subjects like TV, politics, nature and so. It always, well at least for me, feels good to get more info about the blogger himself. I know, some bloggers dont want to "show" too much about themselve ... Tue, 17 Jun 2008 14:35:37 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/just_weekend.html My last post here was June 11 I must admit. Sorry for not writing much, its just rather busy here at work. Schoolyear almost has finished, just some exams to go here and then graduation. Last Friday we had a "colleague-day". So no work but a day supposed to have fun with colleagues. It really was a nice day.. The weather could have been a bit better but it was dry. We were invited in a beach-cafe in IJmuiden-beach (nearby). First off course we were served coffee and cake and then some thin ... Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:17:45 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/kitchen_till_football.html Well my last contribution on greasy is already several day ago. So time for a follow up. We spent quite an interesting weekend here. The weather was great and we had a lot to do. Friday night, because we were just with the 2 of us at home, we decided to go out for dinner. We searched for a nice restaurant and, because of the nice weather, we were able to eat outside. It was a nice steak with a good "red-wine"-sauce. Good tasting baked potatoes were added. As some of you know we planned to ... Wed, 11 Jun 2008 09:24:40 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/busstrike.html For several weeks now there are problems with public transport (busses not trains). Busdrivers want that their wages being raised more then that their employees want. The union wants for the next 2 years a raise of 4 % per year. Employees think that is too much. Last few weeks there were strikes but, because of national exams that took place, busses were available from 7 AM till 9 AM and from 4 PM till 7 PM. This week however, no exams anymore so a complete bus strike. It rather quiet here ... Thu, 5 Jun 2008 10:50:23 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/just_note.html I usually never watch the list of those who visited my pages. I did it today by accident ( clicked wrong) and noticed a remarkable figure had watched my posts. Its Jenn aka texastar. Of all the ones here on greasy I never had thought she would visit my site. I dont know how to feel about it. Should I feel honoured? She never agreed to me on my replies on Blogster. She caused quite some anger there as well. She never agreed my posts, so why did she visit my site then. She, not really a "gay ... Wed, 4 Jun 2008 11:09:21 GMT http://greasy.com/itsjustme/traffic_bombs.html In my entire career (lol) I (almost) never arrived too late at school. It happened in my beginning years as a teacher cause I overslept. Well not so strange cause in my younger years I went out more often. Yesterday I also was too late at school (OK it was just 3 minutes but for me that is too late). It was caused by traffic. What happened: well I usually need about 15 till 20 minutes to drive from home to school. It is about 10 kilometres (6.25 mile) so not much to worry about. Problem no ... Wed, 4 Jun 2008 10:39:48 GMT
