***I'm very selective about accepting requests to my circle. I want to keep it limited to a maximum of appr. 50 members. So, please don't be angry if I refuse your request; it isn't personal. Also people UNDER THE AGE OF 18 will not be accepted, nor people with their PROFILE SET TO 'PRIVATE'(I want to read about you first and see some of your blingees).***

My name is Gerlène, 57 years young and I'm from Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Tirsah is my nickname, a combination of the names of my 2 dogs Tirzah and Sarah (Saartje). I live alone with these cute doggies and I work nights as a nurse in an old-people's home, mostly retired nuns. I learned about Blingee via another site in november 2008. And it's so much fun that I'm afraid I'm now completely adicted to it ;-). It's my favourite hobby now!

Tribute to VINCENT VAN GOGH by Don McClean

Starry, starry night  
  Paint your palette blue and gray  
  Look out on a summer's day  
  With eyes that know the darkness in my soul...

  Shadows on the hills  
  Sketch the trees and the daffodils  
  Catch the breeze and the winter chills   
  In colors on the snowy linen land.   
  Now I understand  
  What you tried to say, to me  
  And how you suffered for your sanity  
  And how you tried to set them free:  
  They would not listen; they did not know how --  
  Perhaps they'll listen now.  

  Starry, starry night  
  Flaming flowers that brightly blaze 
  Swirling clouds in violet haze
 
  Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue  
  Colors changing hue  
  Morning fields of amber grain  
  Weathered faces lined in pain   
  Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.  
  
  Now I understand  
  What you tried to say, to me  
  And how you suffered for your sanity  
  And how you tried to set them free:  
  They would not listen; they did not know how--  
  Perhaps they'll listen now.  

          For they could not love you  
          But still, your love was true  
          And when no hope was left inside  
          On that starry, starry night  
          You took your life as lovers often do--  
          But I could've told you, Vincent:   
          This world was never meant   
          For one as beautiful as you.  

  Starry, Starry night  
  Portraits hung in empty halls   
  Frameless heads on nameless walls   
  With eyes that watch the world and can't forget  
  Like the strangers that you've met  
  The ragged men in ragged clothes  
  The silver thorn, a bloody rose   
  Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.  

          Now I think I know  
          What you tried to say, to me  
          And how you suffered for your sanity  
          And how you tried to set them free:  
  They would not listen; they're not listening still--  
          Perhaps they never will.
