there is at least one question here for everyone.
June 2nd
Gawai Dayak is a yearly festival held by the Iban people of Malaysia on the 1st and 2nd day of June to celebrate the gathering of the harvest. Families gather at midnight to offer thanks to the gods and invoke their blessing. A lavish feast is eaten and a man and a woman are selected as the embodiment of the year’s harvest spirit.
This day is sacred to Mother Earth in her fecund aspect.
Shapatu of Ishtar is a Pagan festival dedicated to the goddess Ishtar, celebrated every year on this date. She is the ancient Assyrian and Babylonian deity who presides over love and fertility as well as war.
The birth of the god Apollo is also celebrated on this date. (See May 25th)
On the Second day and third night of the Secular (Centennial) Games, distinguished women assembled at the Capitol to give prayers to Juno and sing hymns.

Quck answer on that last one – oh hell no. I’m pretty sure that between all of my friends and family, I don’t have any secrets. However, if they all knew all the secrets, I’d be in some trouble.
1: Responsibility. 2: Morality is relative, but I would say in a world short on ethics, ethics are to be treasured. 3: Just can’t do this one…many for as many different reasons…hard to say which one is most with something so immeasurable as beauty. 4: The women I have been blessed with knowing. 5: Yes. I have dared to live a life without regret. I don’t imagine most would believe the story of my life.
I think I”ll take all these questions to my site. Might as well.
i saw your name in my footprints…i’m curious to see how people answer it…thanks for including it, or stealing it…whichever…peace…animal
Okay. Now I know I’m done for the day. I was reading through your questions and the last one I read “batcaves” like it was the answer to: What do you think has made you the person you are today. ha ha ha I guess it’s time to go. Goodnight (yawns and clicks submit)
@Jaynebug - Yes! Now we know! Batcaves have made all who we are today… I mean, who didn’t watch some form of Batman as a kid? lol
Freedom means the great priviledge to say and do the things you feel and want without being questioned or harmed. It also means we have rights as citizens of free speech, etc.
