Good luck and let us know if it is. :)

Great to hear that. If Slovene is not listed, I can always use some Chinese too:)

LOL I did wonder how a biologist would view these costumes. Not for use in class then, I take it?

Have a look at the comments on the first dress. There are women wearing it in ordinary circumstances, not just as a Halloween costume. So go for it!

I wanted to complain how anatomically awkward most of the women's skeleton costumes are, but what is Halloween without tiny skirts and sex appeal? XD LOL

I like the first women's one though, but actually kind of as an actual dress more than a costume...maybe that's one of the reasons I technically have zero fashion sense.

Yes, as Jo has posted, it is a very versatile plant and it was used in ancient times. Thanks for commenting!

Nettles were also used for a weaving fiber similar to flax. I'm so sad that it doesn't grow around here.

I try to remember that a higher power is not "out there" somewhere, but inside of me.
Keep trying. It's not easy but even 10 minutes of just sitting is good.

Yes, it is a very useful plant indeed. Thanks for your feedback, Jo!

Hi Ragtimelil,

I don't belong to any religion, I'm actually an atheist but, strangely enough, the notion that we each have a higher self makes sense to me. I just don't see the higher self as an external being, such as a God. My daughter has become increasingly interested in Buddhism and I understand why. I like some of the teachings (which she has explained to me) they resonate.

I'd still love to learn to meditate. The ability to clear your mind and be at one with your higher/better self I find very appealing. Hopefully, I'll get there one day. :)

I've been watching 'Wartime Farm' on BBC 1. They were using nettles for thatch roofs on makeshift buildings too. Very versatile plant, that's everywhere in Britain!

Yeah, you're right, but it would have been easier....lol

Being in the south it seems that you are more likely to find a church to belong to. I attended a fabulous church in Florida and have not been able to find any I want to attend since moving back to the northeast. You appear to be willing to delve into the various aspects of each religion and it's good to know for yourself what each all about and I think you will know for sure what it right once you find it. You have the advantage of not being swayed by family and friends. Too many people believe what they do simply because of that, and they close their minds to other possibilities.

Yes, there are several languages listed. In fact, I once messed mine up that way. I accidentally set it to only display in Chinese. It took me days to work out what was so wrong!

I've seen your forum signature but never got the idea behind the newspaper. Now it all makes sense. It looks like a great tool for me too.
Can we use it in non English languages? (I am bit lazy to check TOS...)

She totally blew their minds; and is still blowing ours. But yes, I can see your point. I might do a follow up article about precisely what she did write.
