Is virtual love real?? When it finally happens

@viggy40

Virtual love It's been 20 years since our first meeting on the Internet. After stormy events, loving sighs, talking for hours on the cell phone, looking at the camera, you finally appeared. Live!!!! One Saturday in September. It was a sunny day. Returning from the cafe. I see your car. You nod your head to greet me and go to the parking lot. You arrive, you are confused. I am too. I don't even know what's happening, whether I'm dreaming. A hug falls. A strong intimate hug. Kisses rained down on my neck, hands, lips, hair... Your scent overwhelmed me, I was trembling. Your heart was beating 100 per hour. The excitement was too great. That's when we realized that we were made for each other. You leave, you disappear around the corner. What next now??How to forget?? You are free, but I am not. One day we will meet again. Until then, we are still online, stronger and inseparable.

What it's like to be a grandmother I was gone for more than a month. A miracle happened in my life. I got my first grandchild. Indescribable happiness. My sweet little Rafael. I always thought that when I became a grandmother, I would feel old. But on the contrary, I think I have not felt so much happiness in my whole life. The first sight of that little sweet miracle triggered an avalanche of love in me. I am impatiently waiting for him to grow up, to take him for a walk, bake him pancakes, tell him stories. Suddenly I feel full of life. In a word — I adore him.

Rainbow village In a remote part of Taichung, a large Taiwanese city, there is a small village where soldiers' families lived in the 1940s and 1950s. Over the years, many families have left the village, which soon began to decay and turn into a gray city district. But, thanks to one man, this former village has been turned into a real small tourist treat, known as Rainbow village, or the Village of the Rainbow Family. At the age of 86, Huang Yung-fu, better known as Grandfather Rainbow, decided to paint houses, walls, and streets in colorful and cheerful rainbow colors. Every day, Grandpa Rainbow paints a new gray surface with his vivid colors and characters. Grandpa Rainbow is currently the only person living in it.

Cat Island On the island of Tashirojima, cats are kings. There are more cats than humans on Tashiroji Island. More precisely, less than a hundred people and several hundred cats live here. There are no cat owners here, as keeping pets on the island is considered inappropriate, but even so, cats live here like kings. The locals regularly feed, treat, and care for them. To protect the cats, locals stress that dogs are strictly forbidden from accessing the island. Cats were brought to the island to eradicate pests on farms, and today there are four times as many on the island as humans. From ancient times the inhabitants of the island believed that cats bring good luck.

Yamashita's treasure During World War II, the Japanese military regularly plundered Asia to amass additional wealth to finance the war. Soldiers looted houses, banks, and temples in search of any precious items. In 1944, Vice Admiral Takehita was transporting booty from Singapore to the Philippines. The Americans invaded the Philippines, leaving much of the treasure ‘trapped’ on land as the Japanese had to flee quickly and save their lives. All those who remained and helped to bury the treasure were killed. This is also part of the story that tells us that Yamashita's treasure may still be just a legend - because, why would the Japanese transport treasure to the Philippines when they already knew that the Americans were preparing a major attack? There may be truths in the whole story. A Filipino soldier found a cave filled with chests with gold bars and jewels. He took several levers along with a golden Buddha statue and was arrested shortly afterwards. Before the trial was over, the soldier was found dead. While some claim that the Filipinos have found the treasure and still keep it a secret, others are still skeptics and claim that it does not exist at all - others are still looking for it and estimate its value at 100 trillion US dollars.

Cotton Palace **Pamukkale** is a series of thermal pools full of calcium that cannot be found anywhere else. The water from the pool spills over the edges and gives the whole landscape a unique cotton look. White terraces were created due to earthquakes, which are common in this area, which allowed warm water full of calcium to reach the surface. Before the area was declared a World Heritage Site, it had its ups and downs. People visited it in vehicles, and many hotels ‘sprouted’ overnight on top of the remains of Hierapolis. Today, vehicles are banned and hotels have long since been demolished, leaving this amazing location to recover. People are allowed to swim in the pools, but on the condition that they are barefoot. This place is a real natural phenomenon - gentle, mineralized water elegantly descends from the spring and creates pools and terraces that are simply spectacular.

I can do it I haven't been there for a couple of days. I'm busy studying. I'm learning to drive a car. I'm almost fifty, but I decided to take the driving test. I always thought it wasn't for me. I thought it was very complicated. Surprisingly, it's so easy. At least for me. It turned out that I adopt driving well. And changing gears was a nightmare for me. My instructor said after the second hour of driving that he was very pleased with my adoption success. I am entering the fifth decade of my life and I want to close some unfinished chapters in my life. I was very insecure in myself, but now I see that I can do anything I want. Drive, just drive... I am so proud of myself !!!

Realmonte Salt Mine On the southern coast of Sicily is the town of Realmonte, and 100 meters below it stretches a 25 km long labyrinth of tunnels - Realmonte salt mine. The walls of the mine are decorated with various belts of dark and light colors, arranged in concentric circles and stripes. In addition to its unusual natural beauty, the Realmonte salt mine also features a church located deep in the mine, along with an altar, stairs, and frescoes. The church can accommodate up to 800 people, and every year at the beginning of December, rituals take place in it, celebrating Santa Barbara, the patron saint of miners. Realmonte is still an active mine from which about 500 thousand tons of salt are extracted every year.

An epidemic of laughter Tanganyika, today is known as Tanzania, is one of the oldest known settlements on the planet, with evidence of our ancestors who lived here for millions of years. In addition to witnessing the oldest people on Earth, Tanganyika has (relatively) recently witnessed an unusual and unique event - the Epidemic of Laughter. On January 30, 1962, three girls who were going to school in a small village in the village of Kashasha started laughing. Of course, this was not unusual because it is almost impossible to find a school where children do not laugh… But in this case, laughter has become a serious problem. In some children the laughter lasted only a few hours, while in others it lasted up to 16 days! The epidemic spread to neighboring villages. It affected almost 1,000 children. To this day, the real reason why children laughed uncontrollably incessantly is not known. Laughter seems to be spreading at random, like a virus. The epidemic of laughter was everything, just not funny. It completely disabled the children from doing anything, causing severe pain, fainting, breathing problems, rashes, as well as occasional bouts of crying.

Colorado Lagoon Laguna Colorada (‘Red Lagoon’) is a shallow salt lake located in the southwestern part of Bolivia, near the border with Chile. Red algae and other microorganisms give the lake a deep orange-red color, and small islands of crystal white salt, called borax, create a perfect and idyllic contrast. In addition to tourists, this lake is regularly visited by James's flamingo (Phoenicoparrus jamesi). Although there seem to be very many of them on the shores of the lake, they are actually a very rare species. During the mid-1950s, scientists even declared them extinct, until they were rediscovered on the shores of the Colorado Lagoon. Today, they are classified as an endangered species, and their natural habitat has been placed under strict protection.

Lotus Lake Hidden from the public eye because it is covered with tall grass for most of the year, this swamp in Thailand has recently become a world attraction. From December to February, this shallow lake turns into an absolutely beautiful landscape covered with pink lotuses, making this area the largest lake covered with these flowers, which is why tourists have already called it the “Lotus Sea”. Every year, local fishermen and villagers clean the road through the lake so that they can transport tourists by boat, and it is not uncommon for weddings to be organized on the lake. For the locals, this swamp is important for several reasons. The lotus is edible and is a great treat. Lotus roots are found in mud, the stem grows through water, and finally, a fragrant and beautiful flower blooms above the water. The swamp is home to about 80 species of birds, including several endangered species. For romantic types, this lake full of pink lotuses seems like the perfect tourist destination.

Lake balls Lake Balls are known by various names such as Cladophora Balls and Moss Balls, is a species of fibrous green algae Aegagropila linnaei that when they grow takes the shape of a ball 12 to 30 cm in diameter, depending on where they grow. Lake balls are rare and are known to occur only in Iceland, Scotland, and Japan. Most of them are in Lake Akan in Japan and Lake Myvatn in Iceland, and more recently in Dee Why Beach, in Sydney. In Japan, marimo balls are protected and prized and have been an official natural treasure since the 1920s. In Lake Myvatn (Iceland), lake balls are slowly disappearing, and their disappearance is attributed to pollution caused by mining ventures.

Blue eye-hole without bottom The Blue Eye is the largest source in Albania. It is actually a hole where groundwater erupts through it, a hole whose depth has not yet been officially measured (some unofficial sources claim that the hole is about 45 meters deep, while others claim it is 80 meters deep…) . This natural phenomenon is located on the western slope of the mountains of Mali and Gjerë, near the road that connects the cities of Sarandi and Gjirokastra. Although swimming and diving in the Blue Eye is allowed, due to the water whose average temperature is 10 degrees Celsius, only the bravest swim in the spring. Tourists often come here to throw stones in the center of the Blue Eye, only to see the same stone on the surface again after a while.

Pink Lake Lake Retba (also known as Lac Rose) is located in northern Senegal on the Cap Vert Peninsula, and is known around the world for its pink color, which it gets from a certain type of algae that inhabit it. Strawberry color is produced by salt-loving organisms, Dunaliella Salina. They produce a red pigment that absorbs the sun's energy and creates even more energy from it, turning the color of the water into pink. Lake Retba has unusual properties. Dunaliella salina is known for its anti-oxidant effects and is able to create a large amount of carotenoids. As a result, they are often found in cosmetics and as a dietary supplements. As might be expected, due to the high level of salt, rare organisms can survive in the lake, so the pink Lake Retba simply serves as a source of salt and as an unusual tourist attraction.

Green sand beach Papakolea Beach, also known as Green Sand Beach or Mahana Beach, is located near South Point, on Ka’u Island, Hawaii. It is one of only four green sand beaches in the world, and the other three are in Norway and in the Galapagos. **The color of the olive green sand comes from the presence of a greenish semi-precious stone called olivine that came to the beach from Pu’u Mahana, a 49,000-year-old nearby volcano.** **Olivine is denser and heavier than other sand crystals, which is why it settles on the beach while the usual volcanic sand ‘saps’ the sea.** **The constant erosion of the volcano ensures a constant influx of green sand in the foreseeable future, and when the volcano stops its activities, after a while Papakolea will look like any other beach in the world.**

Beach with purple sand Pfeiffer Beach is located in California. It offers a unique view, but it is very windy so it is not attractive to tourists, swimmers, or surfers. On the beach, there is a huge rock that has an opening (known as a keyhole) The purple color of the sand comes from the mineral manganese found in the surrounding rocks, which the sea washes to the beach. The appearance of purple sand in large quantities is best seen after a winter storm, when it sometimes looks more pink, and rarely green.

Colorful stones of lake Mcdonald One of the most famous lakes with "colored pebbles" is Lake McDonald, which is located on the west side of the park. It is also the largest, longest, and deepest lake in the Glacier National Park. Low water temperatures prevent the growth of plankton, so the water is crystal clear. The lake is located in Glacier National Park (USA) where there are more than 700 lakes. The color of the stones is determined by the presence or absence of iron, and it is widespread throughout Glacier Park.

The Hall of Mosses The Hall of Mosses is a short hiking trail located in the rainy forest of Hoh in the western state of Washington, USA. The forest is filled with old trees such as maple and spruce, whose branches are covered with a thick layer of moss. Moss and ferns cover almost all areas of this forest, including living and fallen trees and branches, giving an unreal and fairy-tale dimension to this stunning forest. In addition to moss (which is why it has become very popular), this forest also provides visitors with the opportunity to enjoy the rich vegetation and diverse wildlife.

Blue forest Hallerbos, also known as the Blue Forest, is a forest in Belgium that is covered by millions of wild hyacinths (bellflowers) every spring. This transformation of the forest into a fairytale blue landscape can be seen every year in April and May. Through the floral carpet of the forest, there are winding paths for visitors who, with the smell of hyacinths, can watch rabbits and deer running through the forest. The phenomenon of “blue forests” is not a rarity in Europe, but Hallerbos stands out because of the unique density and beauty of its flowers, as well as because of its accessibility to visitors (located near Brussels).

Interesting facts about the umbrella There are a lot of different umbrellas: classic, folding umbrellas, transparent, storm umbrellas, automatic, golf umbrellas, etc. And each of us has a different taste when it comes to umbrellas. The umbrella is a Chinese invention. The Chinese were the first to make a dome out of fabric. Historical sources record that it happened in the first century, more precisely in the 21st year of our era. Ancient Chinese rulers rode in carriages with a kind of blanket above them. The umbrella reached Korea and Japan from China, and then other parts of Asia and Europe. Today you can find umbrellas in different shapes, colors, and patterns, from classic to unusually designed umbrellas. Even if you want an umbrella that constantly changes its color, you can easily find it. Umbrellas were once an important symbol of femininity and were used exclusively by women. In general, umbrellas are often associated with wealth and high fashion. It is obvious that umbrellas can protect you from rain, sun, or anything else that falls from the sky (snow, hail (). However, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy paid 10,000 pounds for an umbrella that would protect him from potential attackers. This special umbrella is designed so that it can mitigate the speed and strength of the bullet, but also protect the owner from knives and dog attacks. The anti-bullet umbrella is made of materials used to make Formula One cars and spacecraft.

My first tattoo At almost the age of fifty, I went for my first tattoo. I was happy as a teenager. I feel somehow completely as if I’ve been missing it my whole life. Now I'm already thinking about what my next tattoo will be. My husband is against tattooing. He says the ground will not accept me when I die. I just laugh. He says that God created us without tattoos and that we must go to that world as pure, as we were born. Maybe he's right, maybe he's not. I believe in God and I haven't done anything wrong. Do you agree with me?

Fox If we get to know them a little better we can be convinced that these beautiful creatures are different from what we learned about them as children. They are caring parents, playful, and often friendly animals. Foxes reproduce once a year, and the female gives birth to one to 11 puppies (average six), which are born blind and do not open their eyes until the ninth day after birth. During that time, they stay in the den with the female, who does not let them out of sight, while the male brings food. They live with their parents until they are seven months old. Foxes love to play. They play with each other, but also with other animals. Foxes are naturally curious animals. According to New Scientist, a fox can see the Earth's magnetic field as a "darkened circle" on its eyes that darkens when it faces north. When the shadow and the sound of the prey align, the fox knows the exact direction in which to prey on the prey. The Arctic fox, which lives in the northernmost region of the hemisphere, can cope with the cold better than most animals on Earth. They only get cold at -70 degrees Celsius!

All Saints' Day On the first day of November, we celebrate the feast of All Saints. Soul Day is celebrated every year on November 2, when we remember all our dear deceased. Before All Saints' Day, people arrange the graves of their loved ones. My sister and I also visited my parent's grave. While arranging the grave, we remembered the beautiful times when our father and mother were alive. And then sadness crept into our hearts. Tears welled up in our eyes. We prayed within ourselves, each in his own way. I always mentally tell my parents that we will meet again soon. I miss you so much, my dears. More and more. You will miss me until we meet again.

Women, mothers, queens My dear male readers, do not find yourself offended, but I will dedicate this article to us, women. I think all women are sufferers in some way. The vast majority of obligations fall on our backs. I think that the most carefree period of our life is from birth to the first menstruation. Then we mature and begin to understand the pain. Most of us become mothers through life and feel the strongest pain and the greatest joy in life. For men, going to the dentist is the biggest pain, when they have a fever they behave worse than children. Honor exceptions but the vast majority of men I know are like that. There is only one task for men, and that is to bring money. Some may say I am old-fashioned, but it is still so. Childbirth, changing diapers, breastfeeding, lifelong care for the child. It's all up to us mothers. And caring for men is a special story. Where are my pants, bring me lunch, iron my shirt ... and so on indefinitely. But in the end, all that pain, care, and love pays off for us. At least for me.

Moving the clock Daylight Saving Time in 2021 ends on October 31 at three o’clock, by moving back one hour three hours counts as two hours. The sun will rise earlier, but also set, so the days will have less light in the afternoon. On the night when the hands return, people will be able to sleep an hour longer. The movement of the clock will soon be abolished, as scientists have proven that moving the clock twice a year disrupts a person's biorhythm. Moving the clock affects the internal clock and can disrupt the hormonal picture causing a number of ailments such as painful migraines, nervousness, and depression. Going back the clock makes people lose energy and feel more weather conditions like the south. Researchers are quite certain that moving the clock is to blame for a larger number of traffic accidents the Monday after the change. Also, there are more heart attacks in the first three days after moving the clock.

How to stay positive Life teaches us that everything is never perfect. Days full of happiness and success are coming, let's forget what we went through before that. And then one day we wake up and life slaps us. We must appreciate every happy and peaceful moment of life. It is given to us so that we can continue to fight. In order not to give up on life, beautiful things happen to us. After every rain comes the sun! That is why we must remain positive in the difficult moments of life. Nothing lasts forever.

Remembering the most beloved It will soon be two years since your dearest mother went among the angels. You left in agony, and my conscience bites me more and more. Why wasn't I stronger ?? Why couldn't I keep you longer? Maybe you'd still be alive if we hadn't put you in a nursing home? Maybe you would still be alive if we hadn't left you in the hospital ?? I think about you for days, you are in every thought of mine. The nights are the worst. Then I miss you so much. Your clothes I keep still smell like you. And the older I get, the more I miss you! They comfort me and say that I did my best, but my remorse does not subside. It will pass one day. We will meet my dearest mother. We will meet somewhere among the stars. I love you the most in the world.

Why The fifties are the year when we research the most about the past. We wonder why we didn't do some things. And they were at our fingertips. Why didn’t we finish the school we wanted, why didn’t we do the job we loved, why did we choose just that partner? Why didn't we build a house on the sea next to a beautiful beach? And then of course we wonder how much longer we will live. Will we welcome the grandchildren to be born, will we see their wedding? We ask ourselves more and more questions every day. Of course, we do not know the answer to these questions. We must allow time to show us. We must be patient and above all strong.
