I love to debate. It is good exercise for the brain. Only works though if the people debating are reasonable and respectful. I'd have to admit I slip sometimes, but mostly try very hard to be reasonable and respectful.
When I tried it, it was kind of a cool experience. A boyfriend and I were driving through France. We were in a rural area, two lane motorway. We stopped at a small restaurant at lunchtime. It was full of farmers and such--all men. They were all drinking absinth before having lunch. They mix it with water in small, thin glasses. I think the original and traditional flavor is liquorish. I think it is meant to be used only as an aperitif. Don’t think anyone should try to get drunk on it—may make you sick and give a nasty hangover. But, again, my knowledge of this subject is limited. However, the experience, the rural area of France, the small restaurant, lunchtime and all the farmers drinking it, cool and memorable.
I had it in France. Don't know about the German stuff. Not my kind of thing--don't like the taste of liquorice and don't like 'thick' liquors. Also, too much of this stuff can make a person sick, if they are not used to it. It sounds like the French version may be a bit smoother or milder to the taste. Depends on what you're looking for.
So true. Of course this thread is only meant for fun. But it is true: rich white men do rule the world--doubt if they are all fat, perhaps metaphorically but not literally? Fat heads, fat wallets?
I think because to have love, you have to take a chance, otherwise you are just alone always and all the time. As the cliche goes: it's better to have loved and lost.....I hate cliches, but there is usually a lot of truth in them.
I don't believe there is an American president in the entire history of the country who has dragged America down as much as the current one--by far the worst president ever.
Seriously, it's mainly about people being so self centered and demanding, they can't see the forest for the trees--getting what you want for breakfast is one thing---finding a compatible mate is sort of the issue here.
Self love and narcissism are two different things--narcissism is excessive self-love, i.e., being self-centered...as I'm sure you know--so it should be ok: go ahead and pat yourself on the back.
How to Be the Perfect Wife Striving to Be the Perfect Wife Can Be Rewarding
The perfect wife knows how to provide the harmonic balance within the family unit. She knows how to balance career, domestic chores, taking care of the children and support her husband emotionally. The perfect wife has many roles to fulfill and finds it both a challenge and rewarding. Not every woman wants to be the perfect wife. Many women will purposely try to be something different to establish their independence. Even those women that rebuff the idea of a perfect wife, read on. There are many deep emotional rewards for striving to be the perfect wife.
The perfect wife knows how to smile at those jokes that aren't really that funny. She manages a small laugh and doesn't remind her husband that he has told that joke before repeatedly. Without her husband knowing it, the perfect wife embraces these age old jokes over and over as if they were brand new. The perfect wife will know that one day her husband might be in a nursing home not able to even recognize who she is. It will be that day that these old jokes will be a memory that keeps her going daily to visit her wonderful husband.
The perfect wife finds the energy to pick up the piles of clothes, socks strewn about and the glasses that never make it back to the sink. Instead of clearing up after everyone and feeling like a maid, the perfect wife is proud of her home. It will drive her nuts to have the little messes here and there. She cleans up without a second thought as to who did it last time or why everyone around her can't seem to walk to the kitchen sink. She knows that one day the house will be childless and there won't be laughter as everyone is gathered around the TV watching a movie and forgetting their dishes. The perfect wife covets the memories that are being made in the household from an active family life. www.associatedcontent.com/article/153701/how_to_be_the_perfect_wife.html
