Hi, need someone to talk to, maybe a little advice
OP - April 11, 2009, 08:49 PM

I'm kind of shy about posting stuff about myself on the internet.
I've been reading the forum for the last day, and I thought this might be a good place to talk to someone.

Anyone from SouthEast Asia would be great too.
Also anyone from a "mixed' family or has had relationship problems.

or heck, anyone...

Nothing wrong with it, but what is the COEM background behind this dancing & colourful, yet dumb, parrot?

The background is that a woman named Monad posted a string of the parrots in a smiley suggestion thread over at Talk Rational. I thought they were great fun so I snatched the parrot for our place. As you can see, other people also think the parrot is great fun so he's become a feature of many posts. He's something to just throw in for the fun of it when you want to give a chirpy touch to your contribution.

PS: I've sometimes thought we should offer the parrot to FFI and ummah.com. They seem to be in desperate need of parrots.

Nah, they are part of our culture, unless they are willing to pay a license fee. In any case they would probably prefer an pitbull or something.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I remain.

Hi Homer!

I'm not from South East Asia, but I'm from a "mixed" family-Dad's a Zoroastrian, Mum's Muslim. I suppose that's what you mean by a "mixed" family?

I haven't had any "relationship" problems, infact haven't had "relationships."

I'll be very happy to talk to you, so will everyone else here.

But we really can't talk unless we know your problem right?
If\when you feel like telling us, we'll be extremely glad to talk & if possible to help out.

Hi Homer,

I'm from SouthEast Asia and also in a mixed-race relationship, and would be glad to help if you want.

Good luck.
