We´ve already had almost a week of processions and celebrations and tomorrow is another fiesta....El Bando de la Huerta.
After Holy Week in Murcia, there is a one-day break before El Bando de la Huerta which marks the start of a few more festive days. The first day of the Spring Fiestas takes place in the principal squares and parks, where groups of people from the country ('penas') set up stalls ('barracas'), serving traditional Murcian dishes. The penas also put on folkloric performances, wearing distinctive costumes, traditional to their group. Thousands of people from the countryside fill the streets, each in the costume of their village, to join in the street parades and festivities which engulf the town. The day begins with a floral offering to the Virgin of Fuensanta, the patron of the city, at the cathedral. After a long lunch at the barracas, the parade moves on through the afternoon, a long cavalcade of floats and marchers bearing the products of the countryside, through adjoining neighbourhoods and back to the centre.
I agree. I think many people wade through the profiles sending random flowers with the pre-set messages... no originality whatsoever, then wait for responses.
If somebody I know from the forums sends me a flower or message, then I always reply. If I receive a flower saying I want to blah blah your ti$$ies, then no thank you. Or a message with an email address, no!
To the OP, it´s not always a case of being impolite.
I do worry about additives in foods though, and believe that children in particular are affected, so my answer to the OP would be yes, some foodstuffs or drinks can have more than an effect on weight.
1. Overriding bad memories from kindergarten school - standing in a line every morning for a spoonful of castor oil.....yuk yuk!and once being kept behind at lunch-time until I ate the lumpy mashed potato. To this day if I find any lumps in my mashed spuds it makes me feel ill.
2. I was painfully shy at school until I was around 11 years old, when a teacher encouraged me to take part in a public speaking competition. It was agony for me, but I came second....a boy pipped me to the post. I still am shy at times, except when I am in the classroom teaching....strange huh?
3. I had a wonderful relationship with both parents, but Dad was often away boxing, and he was very, very strict.
4. My favourite childhood memories have to be Mum reading to us every night and trying to teach me how to jive. I still can´t do it, but we had fun. Music and books were a big part of my home life as a child.
5. Favourite teenage memory? So many....discovering boys, going to the local youth club to dance and flirt every week. Tasting vodka for the first time!
6. I´m confident most of the time, but not sure I know who I am fully. I believe this can be a good thing though, so that I don´t get too set in my ways.
7. My teenage adventures are locked in my heart. As a young adult, well I was married with two children by the time I was 21.
8. I fell in love, real love, when I was 16 to the man who would become my husband 2 years later.
9. After my second divorce (I married the same man twice) I decided to change my life completely, so I became a travelling teacher and have had some wonderful adventures on the way.
10. I went to University when my kids started school and continued to study for many years, even when I returned to work. I had had a good education, but because of marrying young, I missed out on University at that time. This was a decision made because I knew I wanted to have future career choices.
Later, I think being single and kids all grown up was the deciding factor for my most radical lifestyle change. I hope I still have more decisions to make and pleasant surprises to come.
If I thought my partner was cheating I wouldn´t see the need to set up a fake profile. In fact it wouldn´t even cross my mind, nor would I put myself in the highly embarrassing situation you deliberately set up.
I´m not criticising what you did, but it´s just not me.
