Holocaust Remembrance Day

The International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which occurs on January 27, is the first universal commemoration in memory of the victims of The Holocaust. It was designated by the United Nations General Assembly.

January 27 is the date, in 1945, when the largest Nazi death camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau (Poland) was liberated by Soviet troops.

Let us always remember these words by Pastor Martin Niemöller

"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists ,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.


Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me
and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me."

Always speak up - nay, yell out - when you see someones human rights denied or trampled on.

Vital Information

Well, from time to time we stumble over fun statistics when surfing the Internet.

The following information I found on an Australian blog (Gen X Journey) while looking for a picture for my previous post about Australia Day.



The Top 40
This vital information raises several questions in my mind;
1) How was the information obtained?
2) Are there certified measurement crews traveling the world measuring penises?
3) Why haven't I been invited to join with my vast expertise on the subject?
4) Where do I apply for that job?
5) Where are the Norwegians and the Finns, how far down the list are they really?
6) Why hasn't this important information been released earlier? I am sure as hell it would have affected some of my travel plans.
7) Why don't I visit Copenhagen more often?
etc. etc.

Australia Day

Australia Day is the official national day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26 January, the day commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in 1788.

Happy Australia Day, Mates!

The Quarreling Bench

At Southern Charm there is a special place where Ars and I would go whenever we had a quarrel and wanted to make up again.

Huh, you thought we were always lovey dovey? No way, José!

Both Ars and I always had strong opinions, strong wills and a talent for verbalizing our thoughts, feelings and opinions, so of course there where clashes. Not many and rather far apart and fairly irregularly we would clash and tempers would rage for awhile.

The quarrels usually never lasted very long and we always tried to make up before one or the other of us had to log off, but that wasn't always possible. Sometimes Ars would get so mad at me that he felt it was better to just log off before something irreparable was said. This happened about three or four times during our time together. At other times we would just go to opposite corners of our sim or just leave the sim and not talk in IM.

I always hated when Ars logged off during a quarrel the most and was terribly infuriated by that.

There I was all pumped up and having a lot on my mind to tell him when - Poof - he cut off all communications by logging off. Usually I would get an email an hour or two later where he told me he was sorry and loved me and that he would be back as soon as he had settled down. The longest Ars ever stayed away and didn't email me was eight hours. That was the time I logged off also and created my first alt, Wild Zepp. To settle down I spent my time waiting to hear from Ars giving Wild a total makeover.

Whenever we had quarreled and wanted to make up, the first one to cave in would go to the bench and sit and wait for the other to come. The wait was usually not very long. Sitting on the bench we would talk things through. We listened carefully to what the other said and did our very best to understand the others point of view, it could take hours but we sat through it - always.

There was never any doubt for either of us, that we still loved - and were loved - by the other
