Best Halloween Pumpkins ever!
We found a fantastic blog post about Social Media Halloween Pumpkin Carvings and we are re- posting two of the pictures from that post here, because they show the two things that help us create this blog:
an Apple MacBook and the blogging platform Wordpress. Huge spooky props to the pumpkin artists!
Funny Halloween Quote
The only sad thing about this Halloween quote is that Lindsay Lohan, who says this line in a film, seems to think it’s Halloween all year round in real life – and dresses accordingly. Now that’s scary!
“Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.”
- Lindsay Lohan, Mean Girls
Climate Change Love Quote
This love quote picks off where our contribution to Blog Action Day left off:
“Love is a great illness: it always puts two people to bed!”
- Robert Lembke (German TV presenter)
Oktoberfest Love Quote
Oktoberfest, the biggest beer festival in the world, is in full swing. Yes, that does have something to do with love, actually:
“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”
– Benjamin Franklin
The Dating Ant and the Single Grasshopper
While re-reading the fable about the Ant and the Grasshopper the other day, it struck me that the fable could be applied to online dating and singles. Sounds ridiculous to apply the moral of an ancient Greek fable to modern online dating? Well, think about it:
The fable about the Ant and the Grasshopper begins at this time of year – while the weather is still beautiful and the summer is drawing to a close, the ant is busy stocking up supplies for the winter ahead. The grasshopper, however, is enjoying the weather and couldn’t be bothered thinking about the cold months ahead. As winter sets in, the ant is nice and cosy, with plenty of food to keep her going, while the grasshopper suffers cold and hunger because he didn’t prepare for the cold season.
This analogy is usually applied to hard work that pays off financially when times get tough, but applied to online dating, the lesson also rings true. Read more
