Place your Bets: Its Melbourne Cup time

The Melbourne Cup has been a day of glamour, prestige and celebration for the past 143 years and is that one Tuesday in November where Australia stops for a horse race. If there should ever come a day that a country might be vulnerable I would reckon that it would be yesterday:Melbourne Cup day yep that just might be it..
Fancy attire and what appears to me a classy feeling... all betting on a spectacular event where a 1000 pound beast pumps and snorts and grinds the grassy soil as it sprints into the distance with the jockey trying to get across the line first.. wow.. the thrill and rush. especially if you placed a bet.. like I DID>. yep .. I am not the gambling type.. NO SUR'REBOB but I managed to place 4 bets and guess what I did.. YES>>!! big beginners luck action happening for me.. I picked 3 of the top 4 horses and if I hadn't been such a cheep skate I would have broke the bank.. HA HA.. The WINNER was Efficient then Purple Moon then Mahler.. HOLY toledo.. the fourth placer was Zipping .. and Yep I picked 1 2 and 4 all up front.. and. I f I had been there in Melbourne .. I am sure I would have looked absolutely fab .. but I probably wouldnt remember a thing today ..

Peace and Love.. Melisa

Ok, so the rivers of Earth Were formed from large collections of rain from many many clouds after the great fireball earth cooled, millions of years ago, and it took man a mere 5000 years to putrefy them.. nice work man........ ok Yep my new job is great. I live doing something productive. the slow pace of settled India is to slow, I went on a walk with some elder women in my home upstairs, they take one step then the next and so on and I usually wait for the 12th step before I take my first one..

another day in the life of the sober girl

Yes, I am alright but My scratches and bruising is funny . oh well. I am delighted evermore. today I went to Moon village its a tiny spot Here I Pai that Is featuring a kind of hippie gathering .. the intent is the same but the people are ethnically Asean. Lots Of Japanese, Thai, Hong Kong, and then the old traditional whites.. from where ever they are from.. No worries or derogatory remarks just objective commenting. any way . the festival for which I am liking thus far had a special group guided mediation today .. Yes I was there and ready to meditate,, the premise was to alleviate ones suffering through vocalization of proper requests that facilitate a deeper connection to the radiant positive things in ones life thereby filling up the voided spaces with only good and harmony whilst outcasting and removing the negative .. sound terrific right.. good.. Well I was hoping it would be.. and The narrator was great and the SPACE WAS LOVELY AND THE RIVER RUSHING GENTLY BEHIND ME WAS SUP...
