Verba Volant, SCRIPTA MANENT!

[Rebeltramp]

Hello everyone!

I understand that many of you might value their privacy.
Who doesn't, after all?
But although I feel the same way to some extent, I would like to share some things with you so that you get a better understanding of who I am.
My name is Natalia and I am originally from Greece. I consider J Ruth to be my best friend and I got to know her via my husband who is also a friend of hers.
I grew up dreaming about like-minded people and scarcely ever met them. So I think that this site is a marvelous thing and so glad that we can all speak freely in here.
I have a lot of controversial views on most subjects so I want to apologise in advance if I insult someone. Bear in your minds that I don't mean to and I tend to be happy to change my mind if my views are challenged and proven wrong. So don't be sceptical about challenging me if you thing that I am wrong. I appreciate honesty, openness and logic above all else so be blunt and I would not be offended. :-)

To the many great conversations that can be had in this space I say, welcome and I am glad that they are written down so that they can pass the test of time.
Verba volant, scripta manent is a Latin proverb. Literally translated, it means "spoken words fly away, written words remain".

So feel free to ask and if you don't, still, FEEL FREE! :-)

Thanks to everyone!!

Hi Natalia! Glad you're here, and I already know if you're a friend of J Ruth's you must be pretty cool

I look forward to discussing some of your controversial views haha

[Rebeltramp]

Hi Meliai!

Thank you! I have heard about you too. For a while J has told me of her friends in here and how special you are to her.
I am happy to be part of it when I can. What do you do with your life if you don't mind me asking?

Do you like the Rolling Stones and lasagna?

[Rebeltramp]

i love lasagna (vegetarian versions of it).
I like the Rolling Stones but given your icon would say you like them more than me. :-)

Do you like talking to trees and biting ice cubes?

[tumbling.dice]

You answer wisely my new friend.

I haven't tried talking to trees. If they answered back I would freak. And I prefer crushed ice with my drinks but yeah, munch on them.

[Rebeltramp]

if they answer back, you make sure that you record it. Not only you will get something wise to share with us but you would probably win the Randi Prize!!

[tumbling.dice]

Actually, if they answer back I will use my psychiatrist's emergency number. He'd probably have me put in the hospital for a while. ?

[Rebeltramp]

Hahaha! and then he would steal your Randi prize..

[tumbling.dice]

Hahaha! and then he would steal your Randi prize..

Randi always wins.

[Rebeltramp]

He more like loses $1,000,000. You win, because you have actually communicated with an Oak. Or a Willow, you pick!

Here is my tulip poplar and me about a year ago. When I first set it out it was about my height. I've never spoken to it, however.

[Rebeltramp]

A poplar will do. Maybe we should have a blog about gardening! I started moringa a few months back and now my kitchen is full of little pots.

Dice next time we see you and your popular i shall expect you to have become much closer through your long evening conversations, and you to have your arm around it!
