Some exclusions are temporary, some are lasting.
So, gay men are excluded from donoring blood in Germany, too. But they're in good comapny at least. Everybody who was having some fun during the last year is pretty much excluded. ::)[End of sarcasm]

Chrissie: :laugh:


Regarding gay men: they are excluded from donoring blood in Sweden, too. It´s been discussions on that very topic here recently. Seems like many scientists think that that particular exclusion is rather unfounded. I have a hard time to wrap my mind around it, too. Are gay men believed to be more promiscious than heterosexual men? Perhaps they should just exclude everyone who are having sex and get it over with ::)

I don't think it's the promiscuity per se. I've always assumed it's the potential for exposure to sexually transmitted diseases, and not just the obvious, HIV. There is also hepatitis to consider.

Today's travel destination:

Kew Gardens, Richmond, Surrey, England

The vast indoor-outdoor Royal Botanical Gardens, about 6.5 miles southwest of London, boast 50,000 species of plants, including the world's largest orchid collection.



I've been there!  About 35 years ago...  :-\

It was lovely. It was in the spring, with thousands and thousands of tulips in every imaginable colour.

Hiya BetterMost friends.



Another weekend has passed, and now back to the work week!

Ugh!

Today's travel destination:

The Chiemsee, Barvaria, Germany.


The beautiful Chiemsee, Germany's largest lake, has attracted sailors, vacationing royalty, and the monks of the Frauenchiemsee Monastery, founded in 782 on one of the Chiemsee's three islands.  The monastery's eight-sided bell tower acquired its onion tome in 1626.

Hiya BetterMost friends.



Well, we made it through Monday.   :laugh:

I'm at work at the moment, feeling peaceful....no one else is here yet.   :laugh:  i'm sure the day will get busy soon, and I should be working now, so it's time to get to it!


Today's travel destination:

Old Akko, Israel.


Akko (Acre) was a crusaders' city, and archaeologists have excavated a warren of underground corridors that were the home of 50,000 knights and inhabitant.  Aboveground, the mosques, minarets, Turkish bath and aqueducts are monuments to Ottoman influence built in the 18th century.

I've been there, it's an amazing place.

So full of history, you can almost feel it buzz in the air.

Hiya BetterMost friends.



Happy Hump Day!  ;D

I get to leave the office today at 3:00, a small group of us are going on a boat ride, then out to dinner, and then back on the boat for a bit.  Should be fun!  I'm sure I'll get some color on my face and arms, which is always good!

Today's travel destination:

Canyon Country, Eastern Style.


Gaze up (or down) at canyon walls at Starved Rock State Park, Illinois, wehre glacial melt-water once cut through the sandstone, and these other points east of the Mississippi River:

Letworth State Park, Castile NY;  Pine Creek Gorge, Colton Point State Park, Wellsboro, Pa.; Blackwater Canyon, Davis WV, & Cloudland Canyon State Park, Rising Fawn, Georgia
