Luckily, I do eat a lot of these foods, I know red berries and dark green vegetables and oily fish is very good.

I am trying to concentrate on healthy bones, skin, hair, and slow the ageing process down. As well as keeping to all essential foods. Oh and losing weight. Like food too much.

Bliss: Thanks for all those health directions. I'm going to print it off.

Miss Ceyda:

I really like reading your posts, because of my enquiring mind. I did not think Turkish girls had such strong characters and opinions. Maybe from a lot of Turkish men ignoring women in their company.

I'm glad I have found out, the women are not as vulnerable and over-ruled by men.

It is very nice to be told you are loved ultimately, passionately and feeling so cared for.

Last September, we met up with someone off here. In the prospects of swimming pool maintenance as there are hundreds of them. Repairing a lot of electrical maintenance, as he was a qualified electrician. This went down the swanee as he encountered a bad experience. Still he might still be interested.

My other two friends a couple who are retired had seen a bar on the beach front with accommodation, so that may be an adventure. He has already asked a couple of Turkish men. But I am very interested. More with organising.

So that is your answer Dushkavesi.

Friends and I are seriously thinking of opening a business in Turkey.

Does Turks still have to be employed. Last I heard it did not matter as they want in E.U. and are trying to adapt for entry.

Deli: you are quite right: some have ulterior motives. Instinct and compulsion play an important role.

In England the men only tell you they love you, if they intend marrying you. They may really feel they do, but will only commit themselves verbally, for marriage.

Bursali, I don't know about U.S.A. Try looking at website.

My friend and I will be visiting Istanbul between March and April.

Could someone tell me where the best location is, for booking hotels. Something central and near the sea.
