HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE! Middsummer party for all!

I donno what I'm doin tonight... but if nothing.. then it's nothing with a bottle of rum! X)

But now we reflect on what's to come... and hope this summer brings the happiness and fruits of personal love and peace!

Ah hah, summer at last!

I'm doing absolutely nothing tonight, but I am today. Going to get off these forums and spend time on a bike in the outer reaches of my city. People of all religions can celebrate the beauty and life of summer.

Glorious summer is here. Too bad I'll be working.

>grumblegrumbledirtyrottenbillsandcolectorsandexpensesgrumble<

storms are rollin in.. makes going outside a bit of a "at your own risk" thing.. X)

Happy Solstice, all!

Happy Solstice, all! - Here in West Texas it means 100+ degrees Fahrenheit for days on end, with either clear skies and blazing sun or thunderstorms, gigantic hail and tornados, but still a good time of the year!

How I wish this was reality, But alas it may never come to be.

That is what I just got done doing (It started to get muggy).

Chance of T-storms here.
When was the last time you played in the rain?
A Tom Petty song....Never slow down never grow old!

Dear Argent Feline, I found this snippet on another website and thought it hilarious and all too true of American society. It is meant as humor only:

My Solstice got rained out. Our ritual grounds have turned into a mosquito filled swamp. Ahh, life in the Sunshine State.

Hey Silver...whereabouts in the US are you from? We've been getting quite a bit here (central).

But man it is fun to go outside when its acting all weird. fun stuff eh

It would be 'Happy Winter Solstice' here too. Ahh I love winter...you can have summer LOL

No rain here! I am going to put on my Bi Focals, put my teeth in, and take my little doggy to the Beach.( Puppys are BABE Magnets)

From the guy your mother Warned you about! Grandpa Roger!LOL

Summer? I hate summer!

Just out of interest, how many of your 80 posts to date have not been about some aspect of Metal Gear Solid?

Why helo there Mr. Aslan. X) Tis good to see you again.

Revolver... Stop with the game talk here. This thread has nothing to do with Snake or any other game hero you wish to be/think you are...

Revolver Ocelot, I notice you seem to have used up all your capital letters.

I feel perhaps it is time you were a little more frugal with your posting. Wouldn't want you running out of anything valuable.
I mean goodness knows how messy it could get if you used up all of your vowels too.


I had a Vodka for you Silver, and it did chase away the frost bite....

i am Revolver Ocelot!!!! you r all jealous

Vodka is good for that X) Er.. how cold does it get there in winter?

I've a bottle of Maui Dark Rum being shipped to me from the distillery XD


And no.. "revolver" I'm not jealous... Atleast I know how to spell are.

Carefull Revolver, it looks like your losing control of your vowels.




Well you know Silver, you tend to harden up to the temperature, when the weather man starts bandying around the word minus all the time. But of course it's Celsius minus not that crazy Farenhieght stuff you Yankees are hooked on.

A sight for sore eyes:

It's not my fault!! Our government likes to be behind in the times and bass ackwards!! XD

So cold enough to snow... *shivers* Not one for the cold snowy weather...

And thank you Joc

Woo Hoo= Best. Song. Ever!!!!!

Why would we celebrate the summer solstice though? Is it important?

I dunno, is the Sabbath, Christmas or Easter important? This is the pagan equivalent!

*shrugs* If you'd read some of the links on the first page.. you're question would be answered.

It's a pagan holiday called Midsummer, or Litha, or Alban Heruin by the Druids. It's already past... was on the summber solstice.. celebrating the strength of the goddess's fertility and the return of her consort...
