| | Re: Word of Today Verbal Hygiene. The concept has been following me for decades, in my linguistic career and teaching. It's sticky, unavoidable, appreciated, necessary and hated.

| | Re: Word of Today | Quote: | |  | | | Discipline. I am so tired of writing, my brain is filled with little thoughts and big ones, chasing eachother, in different languages.. | | | | | Yes. Having a powerful intellect and a brain capable of handling simultaneous thoughts, both small and large and in one language or the other, is both a blessing and a curse. I can sympathize because I suffer from it myself from time to time.

If you season it with humor and some visual aid for some cognitive processes, for easier classification and categorizing, it works better. Then you phase out the multilanguage perception, voila. Ugh. I better get back to it.

Discombobulated - confused, disconcerted, not happy about something. Lovely word - just sounds great...

oh non pas moi !!
Realist from all perspectives, with an accent on emotions
.. though difficult too as subjectiveness also remains a contradicting factor.

.. though difficult too as subjectiveness also remains a contradicting factor. | | | | | I think growing up in really modest conditions makes one automatically h/c realist, tbh, even if I didn't want to..Idealism is cultural, one can be both. Knowing the reality and aspiring to higher principles, that won't change, steady, sound.. may look stubborn from the outside... and actively needing that from those around me, it's ambitious, I know.. | Quote: | |  | | | I am now.

Feed those plants! Czechs love their plants. Nourishment for today..Spiritual and agronomic.

Czechs also love to share food with you. If it's not a proper meal (when there's loads of food), at least some chocolate and biscuits on a bench in the park. (it's the moment when I find dieting such a silly idea) |

| | Re: Word of Today | Quote: | |  | | | ..and gastronomic, culinary? Czechs also love to share food with you. | | | | | This is so true, the fact you mentioned it made me laugh. Well, made me feel odd when at home, really, since cooking being aside of music and art my fav past time, I am thin. Forget diet, just get busy.  People usually want to diet when they have not noticed their metabolism has changed and they are slow in adjusting their eating habits, or, when they need nourishment in other area and don't reach out for it. Hmm...fooooood. Gotta hang out with you, girls. Share some strudel. People are generous back home, I miss it. Seems the less one has, the more one is willing to share. Generosity.
(and strudel, really)
