Gift for foreigners

It 'happened to us all. There is a Christmas party, or a new family in the neighborhood, or maybe we meet our family signifigant for the first time. You know you should bring a gift, but what to wear for someone who know nothing or very little? You do not want to risk emberassing yourself with a gift that is bland, but do not know the recipient likes or dislikes. This article describes my thought process when I am put in this situation. It is hoped that the suggestions presented here will help you as well!

Opportunity is always a gift. If this is the holiday season, then you should be able to find gift packs everything from fruit and wine, in Cologne and bath products. However you should know the recipient to some extent before presenting this type of gift. What if the alien does not drink alcohol or are allergic to some frangrance?

No matter what the reason for a gift or who the beneficiary is, we are all able to put
We are in the position of another person to a certain extent. Although we do not know much about
the person, we know some things. Let's go identify them.

1. This person is male or female.

2. We know where we met or will meet this person.

3. This person receives a gift from us.

Now we can put the shoes there for a few minutes. Suppose I am buying a gift for a lady who just moved into my neighborhood. I know that I am a girl who receives a gift from a neighbor I have never met, probably on my door. Now I know I need a gift
a format that is easy to carry and hold, while in a doorway. I need a gift that is not
too specific. I need a gift that I would if I was under the stress of a new
move.

Now brainstorm with what we know.

1. An assortment of coffee, tea, hot chocolate and covers a wide variety of tastes. Would
be easily managed by standing in a doorway. It informs the recipient that you know
worked very hard and could use a break.

2. An address book and the pen would be useful to anyone entering a new district. This
also light enough to not be an obstacle. I could throw in a list of places offering restraunts
to add a personal touch and eliminate the need for her to cook a meal!

3. An assortment of candles gift would help set my destination for a night of much needed relaxation. Again it is easy to handle in the doorway. After the excitement of moving in settles down, would be a nice decorative addition to his new home.

This technique can be used under any circumstances. If you are put in these types of
situations often you get to practice this skill and become a master. Why not start now
and of buying aquantances casual for no particular reason. Then it will be ready when pressure
is on, and one could make a lasting friendship!

English Slang For Perplexed Tourists

I watched the British version of 'Big Brother' recently. This is the TV show that is a human hamster cage. Viewers go 'ooh' and 'aah' about what they like or dislike, and vote to decide who leaves the house. Meanwhile, contestants do tricks for the amusement of the audience. The last man earns £ 100,000. The production company makes millions. All contestants lose any shred of dignity and anonymity.

The 2005 version had a boy and a girl Essex Essex on it; modern Cockneys. Their speech was full of annoying, redundant phrases, verbal fillers, if you like. This 'has the balls' (nerves) so much that I decided to compile a list of these phrases. Now, every visitor to London and surrounding areas can understand the natives.

- Respect: high demand by those least deserving of it, street thugs, wide boys, guys, Z-list celebrities and rap acts from Chipping Sodbury.

- Àow Roight?: Hello, so good (between us)?

- Right?: Questions used to punctuate sentences. A trick to ensure the public is listening to what is probably trivial example: "I went Inna coffee on the highway, right? Geez and I look weird, right?, A 'I Wasn' nuffin doin ', right? So I told 'im, I says ...

- Health: Thank you. Derived from the greeting of the drinkers'.

- At the end of the day: Meaning 'when all is said and done'. A cliche. Emphasizes what comes after, which is also trivial example: "At the end of the day, you look after yourself, know woh average?"

- Know what I mean: It emphasizes what comes before it, usually trivial. A verbal trick, to get the attention of the listener. Used by those who are not sure whether they express themselves clearly. What is the most time.

- Seriously: Another 'emphasiser'. It means 'I am serious about following' for example, "Seriously, I'm pissed off with you, Craig. Or as a question: "My mate (friend) Sandra had a boob job (breast enhancement). To which you reply: "Really?".

- To be honest with ya: Meaning, I'm not usually. They are, rather, to be serious. An overused phrase. What follows is not guaranteed to be sincerely say, or trust.

- What is good: a suggestion on an exaggeration, and in bad faith. for example, "I won a big yesterday, on a scratchcard. Which is good."

- Scary: could scare two years. Used by women or gay forward faux distress. A bad haircut can be 'scary'. A spider making a dash for the sudden discharge is 'scary'.

- How 'appens: a hint of exaggeration here, for example, "I was down the dogs (dog track) yest'day as' appens (happens).

- 'F th' pronounced as' how to 'Wan Foo, Fwee, Foah' (One, two, three, four). There is a definite sense that this is done deliberately. A return to a child-like speech-impediment.

- Abaht nuffin dan't Oi kna 'it: I know nothing. He said with an air of complaint, as ...

- Oi know, I?: You must somehow be aware of my ignorance, perhaps by telepathy. This phrase is key. If you can penetrate his rebuke, heart complaints, English or understand the modern woman.

- No disrespect to: I'm about to criticize the next person, but do not want to assume the responsibility to do that I AM disrespect so and so.

- Sweet, or 'sweet as' (a nut): response to a successful operation, or an unexpected bonus. It is often said when you have gained something that is not you for example the right to robbing a shop than two hundred cartons of Benson & Hedges cigarettes, and got away. 'Sweet!'.

- Sha p! (Shut up): I agree with what you say, but not the spirit, patience or vocabulary to divorce, so you'll tell 'ap Sha' instead. Repeatedly.

- I am not 'Appy (around ...): I am a Lord of Creation, hear my wrath.

- End (End of story): I made a final statement, there is no need to say more on this topic.

Warning: The biggest lie that Social Security

As I said, if you are poor and on social security do not, I repeat, do not read this article. Why? Because I'm going to blast the recent article that was in USATODAY August 16, 2005.

What he said: "Millions of Americans go on Social Security alone."

Stand back ... I warned you.

Here goes ...

What the hell are you thinking people. And by 'people' I mean you poor dumb ass no success driven, lazy, good for people food for cats.

WHY 'you do not have the money?

What comes from the mouth will now be an excuse ... Pure and simple.

Because I was a housewife or a farmer or not I worked a lot, either I or this was what I had.

10.6 million Americans living on Social Security alone. It hurts. The United States is the land of opportunity and some people can not even feed themselves.

What is wrong with you?,

If we were still living in the trees in Africa and had not yet evolved, your ass would be starved out long ago. Only the strong survive.

Now that may be strong-willed, strong spirit, or any other type of force that is expected not to be eating cat food.

That's part of the article laugh:

"For some older people, only admitting they need help is hard. They are proud people," says Hulsey. They want to live independently for as long as possible .... One reason they hold on: They do not want to have to depend on Medicaid, the government program of health. If they get Medicaid, they can not have more. Johnson said that in Oregon, if you go on Medicaid, the State may be reimbursed by your property when you die, leaving heirs with little. People want leave an estate when they pass on, Johnson says. deseperate They hold up to the last. "

Okay ... 99/100 and now when you die you're just living on Social Security, you do not have a property. Your heirs will get stuck with the bill.

Now I'm done ranting.

Although it might be too late for those 10.6 million Americans living on Social Security, is not too late for some of us. I urge everyone to read about Wealth Building, and then intervene to it.I do not want to read the newspapers too.

Social security should be used to pay your green fees.
