I see your point. But let me explain that it is quite difficult to have motivation for (let's say) participating in the joy and happiness of others. I...

I am referring to value. I don’t think a purpose is suitable here, but it is true that some acts and decisions are often taken because of a purpose. T...

Hey, good post. You are right that is important to first identify what exactly the problem is. Those three patterns are the main ones. I believe that ...

Yes, I read some works on Stoicism or by stoic authors. They are not my cup of tea, sorry. It is interesting how they approach life and the circumstan...

Good point. This is why I stated that one of the themes where Dostoevsky approaches depression is the suffering of children. I don't know if you read ...

First of all, thanks for bringing the psychology approach to this discussion. I completely missed it, although I am aware that it is very important. I...

I was diagnosed with depression two weeks ago, and the doctor gave me antidepressants. I feel better now, but the side effects are uncomfortable -- dr...

A lot of different things have happened to me at picnics... but that's another episode of my life, mate!

RESPECT MY GASTRONOMY OR I MUTE YOU. No, I am joking. I believe you would like too. @"Hanover" tried it a few hours ago and he has asked the waiter fo...

I agree. Spanish Russian salad is far different from Olivier salad. However, both are excellent and refreshing on these hot days. :up:

I believe you would like it. :up: Truste me, Hanover.

Veggies? No, no. Ensaladilla rusa goes without veggies. Just potatoes, eggs, and tuna. It is 'Russian salad' but, surprisingly, it is called 'Olivier ...

@"Jamal" Ensaladilla rusa - Olivier salad. :yum: https://i.postimg.cc/qMGhC2wT/20250705-123910.jpg

I was born in the 90's and I am villero. https://i.postimg.cc/WbsktB0d/512-CJ3-8yv-L.jpg

My parents were born in the 1960's. They are boomers.

I felt nostalgia reading the thread even though I wasn't a member back then.

Yes! I attempted writing haibun on more than one occasion. Yet it has been a while since I wrote the last one. It is hard to write to me because I can...

Hello Amity. How is it going? :smile: I think I might be precise. Japanese haiku poets no longer follow the traditional structure. Nonetheless, I stil...

Yes, that's right. It is complex to determine if a pig is actually smiling because the act of smiling is something human. It is true that I often see ...

Kizzy, where is the Entry 001? Should we keep waiting and have more patience?

I don't know but Portuguese folks laugh in Ks. Try to imagine that!

jajajaja. I promise I didn't do it intentionally. :snicker:

I think you should have posted 'piggy smile' instead.

That's right. As well as I am not only Spanish but also a Castilian, and folks in Cataluña and the Basque Country are both Spanish and Catalán/Basque.

Perhaps... but I think it is Kolozsvár, actually.

Exactly. You are not mistaken. One example of those lands where J is treated as an H is "Blésen" (it is located in Romania).

Understood. So, it is @"fdrake" who surely uses the slang since I remember installing an air con in his home in Manchester.

I know, but I thought you liked to be called Scottish rather than British. I am glad you are back in Spain! I am in La Mancha, and we also need an air...

I searched on Brave how to say "aire acondicionado" in English. The answers were very good, but above all, it said that in the UK it is called "air co...

Very cool. I wish powerful people (the ones who pull the strings) would waste their fortune on that and not on stupid wars.

Are you sure? :rofl: The ultraviolet index is soaring. https://i.postimg.cc/x8jx2pYt/Screenshot-20250630-141621-Weather.jpg Yes, but I live (for the b...

Think about it deeply. If you have a problem with cool weather, there are multiple solutions to take care of the situation. For example: you can wear ...

Yes, it had been a tough week. That's the main reason why I dislike summer. Hot days make me feel very tired, and I have to be confined at home with t...

Because it turned into a messy broken object. More than "throwing it into the rubbish", I believe that I actually buried it down. It made me sad to se...

It seems like a nice idea, but you can't imagine how destructive the impact was to the glass. More than many pieces, it turned into shards. I even los...

I will leave that assertion to @"Jamal". :sweat:

Yeah. Why would I need clothes if I already have books and a sandwich?

That's a reasonable idea.

I think no. The broken glass was bought in Edinburgh. If I buy another on the Internet, it will lose its essence. The "new" glass would be a boring ob...

This is the cool glass I am referring to: https://www.innisandgunn.com/uploads/images/photography/_pageHeader/152384/Lager-pint-1340-x-2000.webp

My mother broke (accidentally) a glass of the Scottish beer brand 'Innis and Gunn'. Now, I feel a bit sad and melancholic. One of the best souvenirs o...

I'm hooked.

Yeah, doesn't matter, Kizzy. You started this thread with good manners, and it is a great and interesting OP. I thought you should know that TPF worke...

Kizzy... Kizzy... my mate you are doing spooky stuff. Jokes aside. First, not all of us sent an email to Jamal to join TPF. I joined this site in 2021...

Presumably, yes. But there is another important fact, and he wasn't the one who started the private message. Probably, if the member who started and i...

Mr. Wances. :up:

Good morning, Miss Rapunzel and Mister O'Hara. The Greek salad is already in the fridge. I put pepper, yoghurt, tomato, cheese and olive oil in the sa...

However, numerous artists painted God's face. It's both interesting and risky. No work was ever more dangerous.
