This is why I love Belize. For when I want to be with great people I can, but when I want to be by myself I can do that too.

"I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men then when we stay in our chambers. A men thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will."

Nice thought Zeke, quick question for ya. This man who is thinking alone, does he have a Beliken by his side?

Becky....Nahhhhh! When I am alone I never drink. Don't worry though when I'm on vacation I ain't alone so there will be many a Beliken going down the gullet.

A long time ago a wizened ol' expat told me, "We all take our own private hell with us where ever we go."

He didn't mean it too hard core at the time, and I didn't take it that way, but I've always thought there was somthing to what he said.

He probably got the phrase from somewhere else. I think it's been said many times in many ways. The works of J. Conrad relate, I think.

Ya gotta be happy with yourself first, then the people around you, then the place itself.

To quote Ricky Nelson in his song Garden Party...."You can't please anyone, if you can't please yourself."

Man has this Zeke turned into a philosopher or what?

Zeke, I'm a firm believer in pleasing myself. Ok, I didn't mean that the way it sounded, but I had to throw it out there.

Becky, is pleasing yourself better than being yanked. giggle

Maybe I'd better ask Skinny. hee, hee

ROFLMAO at Seashell!!! My sentiments exactly!!
Becky, you had better go put your panties back on! LOL

LOL, you guys!!!!!! what ever turns you on, i guess.

and i believe the quote is: "you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself". if you're gonna quote, then quote.

i am the queen of old song lyrics.
