I don't know why they think one can hide a gun in there. It's crowded enough in there as it is. <br /><br />How is Macedonia these days?

For the exact reasons you mention in this post. I've been on both ends of this tricky situation a number of times. Still you this sort of thing, awkward as it may seem, has to be addressed.

Just don’t forget, dearest, to put on your own oxygen mask first, before helping others. I find this a lovely metaphor that can be used for every situation in life. You know there are still people in airplanes who forget this (well, who can blame them, really. Flying several hundred miles high up in the air and being presented with such an emergency, I don’t think I’ll be the happy passenger they show in those safety videos).

The way I prepare for my forehand looks like I'm a true professional. I just never really manage to hit the ball correctly, always seem to miss the sweet spot, so to speak. <br />To go up against these people who play ugly and then run the risk of loosing, is too much to bear, isn't it? Especially when they then proceed to give tips on how to play better tennis.

A friend of mine, when reading in the newspaper that a new centre for asylum seekers recently opened its doors in his village, immediately stopped his car when he spotted a foreigner looking lost. He dragged him in his car and drove him straight to the new centre, without asking for anything in return. Mind you, the foreigner could easily have been a tourist of some kind. <br />But that is beside the point. <br />Keep on writing, darling.
