The British are Too Polite LOL

My cool fellow 11 life path friend from the farm is one of only two friends who lives near me.

Knowing how exhausted I am and how much I hate cooking but love being cooked for :-) she invited me over and cooked a nice hearty meal...a thoroughly delicious pie...beef mince celery eggplant onions in a tomatoey sauce with a potato/sweet potato mash and some veggies. I brought some MERCURY Tassie cider(good memories! LOL)...Dinner is so much better with company :)

After, I gave her her first ever acupuncture LOL...so hilarious. It made her fart 3 times! (Cos she needed it). Actually I think the "treatment" went really well...cos she did have obvious pathology that needed fixing and she had some pretty distinctive (and predicted) sensations based on the grey diagnosis I came up with.

I find it hilarious that she totally represses necessary normal bodily sensations because she is so aware of offending her housemates. LOL maybe I've been socialised by boys or maybe it's cos I'm a health practitioner...I didn't see what the big deal was...I guess I must be "plain rude"...anyway I hope she found it as 'liberating' as I felt it was for her! LOL

On another note, ToyBoy now calls me exclusively one of a) Grandma or b) Old Lady HAHA I'm starting to find it really funny!

I have wondered about this - I have an Asian friend who farts happily whenever she needs to. Never at the dinner table or anything gross like that - but she lets it rip and then we usually have a laugh about it. I wonder is it cultural? I (being British) was brought up to always hold it in, which, let's face it, is not healthy.

haha! yeah Asians are one of the more practical races...not being a genuine one though I can't relate to "just let it rip"...but in the comfort of your own home...I think it's fine!

Or maybe your friend is a boy inside? LOL I notice amongst puerile mates in Oz at least farting and burping...well it's almost like a competition...with pride at stake...LOL
