Awww... you are so sweet! I saw this list and was like “I already know this... wow, I’m a pro! 😌” 😆😂

You are a sly motivator!!😉👏🏻👏🏻

I will practice to order food at a restaurant that could be a nice next step, like:

Ich möchte das Wienerschnitzel bestellen 😋😋😋

Would that be said correctly?

I’m already in France... so sharing your time zone now and dealing with jetlag!

Ich machte ein nickerchen von 16.00 - 19.00 Uhr 😣😣😣. And now I’m not sleepy...🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Well now I'm confused because your switching up what your saying. You asked a question based on him being a FWB and asking if you were sleeping with someone else and what your response should be. this is something different.

But joking around like this could seem like you're insecure. Cause otherwise, there would be no reason to try and stir up any emotions on either side, if you two aren't exclusive or in a relationship.

The only time having sex with others should be brought up is in a poly or open relationship where sharing that info is necessary. At least that's my opinion on it.

Ooops, sorry didn't quote you.

@Generous_Libra

It is a weird and confusing FWB I know, this is why I'm confused myself, I don't know if I'm trying to protect myself from getting hurt or trying to protect him, again I meant no harm with those jokes, but yes we should discuss things more, and clearly, thank you for your perspective 👍

You're with a FWB guy, it's very clear what you want from each other, but he doesn't want you to sleep with other guys. Would you still do it?
( I mean sleeping with someone else)
PS: you're also pretty sure he's not sleeping around either.

would quit the FWB right away. as it is not what it appears to be. it is hiding under the disguise of FWB ....
i don´t think that FWB situations even exist as such. it´s pretty stupid and inviting trouble/drama in 99% of the cases.

who even calls these situations beneficial? lmao.

are you even friends to begin with?
i think the definition of a FWB is often consfused ....
a FWB implies a platonic friendship first and foremost ....with causual sexual encounters.
in most cases these are just booty calls .....without a friendship.

Smaller towns further up in Sweden, you have your party posse, ppl you meet every weekend at someone's place or several different ppls places & party with.., boys and girls. People oftentime hook up, sometimes for longer periods of time, sometimes you get blueballed cuz there are no guarantees. But they're all sort of "friends" in that they don't wish eachother any particular harm lol. Everyone knows everyone. It's not Berlin or New York.

That's what fwb is around here.

You people invented all this...so you can probably educate the world about Sweden family life style .
Btw is it true? 👀

schnupfen 🤧 is sniffles

It actually sounds just as adorable as “sniffles.”



Finally. 😏

We also can offer schnüffeln hahaha

Onomatopoeic delights, even for sniffling. 😉

It’s a beautifully expressive and precise language. It’s no accident that it’s one of the classical languages for scholarship.

if i had to choose between heine or goethe, i´d still pick goethe .....even though i´ve had him ad nauseum ....i feel JWG had more passion. that is saying a lot of a german hahaha.

Goethe is beautiful, through and through—brilliant linguist especially, though I used to be a bigger reader of Nietzsche. The latter always sounded like a closeted western Mahayana Buddhist, which worked for me.

lol. idk ...sometimes you just wish they would get to the bloody point already ......a sentence should not be over a paragraph long lol.

while on this topic, have you read siddhartha by hesse?

“a sentence should not be over a paragraph long.”

Haha this reminded me of one of my favourite writers: E. B. White, of Strunk and White’s little book on grammar and writing fame. I don’t mean Charlotte’s Web necessarily but his essays on life and the land.

Anyway, yes, I enjoyed Siddhartha many years ago. It was recommended to me by one of my Uni professors with whom I’m good friends to this day.

i have the feeling that a LITTLE book of grammar and writing is only "little" for linguists. haha.
for us normal people, it´s probably a door-stopper.

have you ever re-read it, since?
i read siddhartha on the island of kos in 2018...i enjoyed hesse´s literary style greatly .....and if i had had a text marker on the beach i would have coloured all the pages ....many pearls of wisdom.

The book is brief, but every word tells. ; )

It’s aimed (or was, it’s still fairly popular, though) at students and beginner to intermediate writers. For a more interesting romp into wordcraft, see Partridge‘s Usage and Abusage.

I haven’t re-read it Siddhartha. You’ve reminded me, though. But I can’t guarantee I’ll read it in a place as nice as you did. Anyway, I enjoy revisiting gems years later with the benefit of a little more (just a LITTLE) maturity. And absolutely, Hesse’s literary style is a balm for the soul, he does great justice to the subject.

Usage and Abusage 😂😂😂 that sounds like a fun read.
Are you a mood reader? 🤔
I found it hard to get through assigned books ...
But always connect certain books to specific places and moods and also like to re-visit.
Yeah haha just a dash of it ...😂

My german word of the day MATURA (matriculation/graduation).
In Germany it is ABITUR. WTF Germany?

Usage and Abusage, Lol yep, it’s old-school grammar rules, which to me at least, means timeless.

Not a mood reader, but I’m very particular about what I read, as are you, I’m sure. If it happened to be assigned it gets read because it comes down to responsibility blah blah blah. I’ll admit it can be hard to get through what doesn’t interest me but I look for the upside in everything, so even in the tyranny of duty I’ll usually find something of value.

I’ve got my stable of material that gets reread at certain intervals. I go by seasons. I have “winter” books (mostly Russian lit, especially Solzhenitsyn) and then there are “summer” books, most everything else. 😁
Winter and cold days in general make reading especially satisfying.

And ABITUR... Germany just *has to* go their own. On a BMW suv they’ll design a manual door-lock such that it will never last the practical life of the car and which will be a fortune to fix, but they’ll obsess about weight distribution to the degree that they’ll bury the battery under the trunk floorboard so the vehicle is almost too perfectly balanced at high speeds, and then engineer a clever knob to put under the hood that serves exclusively as a jumper cable terminal. Gotta admit, what’s not to love. 😉👌

I’m starting to pack for my trip to Europe. Packing for a month, for events, working out, potential snow... and lots of presents for family members have me a bit stressed out. WILL IT ALL FIT?!?!

What word would be most concordant:

Betont😣

Or

überbelastet 😱

??????🙃🙃🙃

Übervoll 😂🥰
How big is your suitcase? Hope you don"t have to pay for übergepäck .....🤔🤔🤔
Gute Reise und wunderschönen Aufenthalt!
No snow in sight atm ....but temps are dropping and it can come fast.

Danke, ich verlasse Dienstag!

Great... Übervoll!!! Very much so when I last wrote you. I just got a smaller extra luggage, I feel better now ☺️.

Right now Paris is about 10C... not too bad, but as you said, changes happen fast. My anxiety didn’t even make sense, though - worst case scenario, ich gehe einkaufen 😝🛍🛍

Awwww enjoy your stay and travels! I looooove Paris ....so beautiful. I do hope it does snow just a little bit, sugar coated christmas is just that extra nice.
Exactly, einkaufen geht immer 🥰🥰🥰💗
Bon voyage, mon chere🍸🍸

Merci ma belle et Joyeux Noël!!

You can have whatever kind of romantic arrangement with a guy (fwb, minor crush, short-term or long term relationship) but if he’s remotely sincere in his interest for you, he will be possessive/jealous about you and your interaction with other males or people they see as competition.

True or false? Thoughts.

Your BMI is still in the norm range.

I understand what she means though, she wants to be slimmer and more toned. It absolutely is more attractive. Not to say she isn't attractive as she is.

Even years after my move to Oz, I would still call gas station a Tankshtelle. 👀

Some habits die hard I guess ! 😬

Ejjj remember the šarafziha?
😂😂😂💗

Do I remember it!? LoL It’s a staple in my household ...quite literally. I think by now I can open šarafciger museum 😂

My second staple used to be kartoffeln but they taste like styrofoam over here so they’ve lost their appeal....for now anyway!!

Was ich vermisse is a nice, mesnata pflaume!!! 🤤

Hajde na kavicu, sekić!!! 😘😻

evo, letim i like winter, but we have 3 C° ....and windy ....treetrunk this. i am coming (and bringing krumpir with)

i found you a helper, who will find the missing sarafciger




veliki poljubac

Fortuitously I decided to browse trough the tread as I received no notification for this post! :/ On the bright side (bright for me anyway lol ), my inbox is open for business once again. ;p

Back on topic, it’s been pretty dry but chilly over here as well! I hate to admit it though, it’s been nasty gloomy over the past week or so. I don’t recall seeing sun more than an hour combined and it’s beginning to pet my plumage the wrong way🤮🤢

That said, Colombian coffee to the rescue though! My doors are always open for you, mače, and thanks for offering to schlep krumpir!!! 😂❤️❤️

And would you look at that little industrious kitty cat! I never new I needed one of those until now!


Warm hugs, ljepoto moja! Ljubi seka čelo! 💋
