Ask ME! (Esme) anything and I (unlike others on here) WILL answer

[lilia]

my whole world is about YOU.

Good.  Can you find me some sprouted grain bread?  My market was out of it.

[McGiver]

i hop low sodium is ok.

[lilia]

i hop low sodium is ok.

Yes.  I so love that stuff.  Most of it has biblical crap written on it, so I call it God Bread.  It's yummy.

[McGiver]

how do you prepare it?

[lilia]

how do you prepare it?

I like the kind with sprouted grains and nuts.  I toast it, because it makes the nuts all umm... toasted.

[McGiver]

so you say you like toasted nuts?

[lilia]

so you say you like toasted nuts?

Mmm.  Toasty!

Did Esme disappear, btw? On my quest I found her on another forum, but it didn't seem all that connected.

[McGiver]

how do you find someone like that?

[lilia]

how do you find someone like that?

I googled Ascan + Asperger, and ended up on Aspie Village and read the thread with Nessa's reasoning for being here.  It was all very exciting to be sure, but had a premature climax.

[McGiver]

was mine the last post?

[lilia]

was mine the last post?

Yeah.  I meant the premature climax came when she popped over here.  I expected more when I followed the threads back and forth.  Drama did not deliver.

[McGiver]

do you blame me for intervening?

[lilia]

do you blame me for intervening?

Nope.  I don't think it would have delivered anyway.  She has no schadenfreude, just bluster.

thats it, i had to find out for myself:

scha·den·freu·de [ shd'n fròydə ] or Scha·den·freu·de [ shd'n fròydə ]


noun 
 
Definition:
 
gloating at somebody else's bad luck: malicious or smug pleasure taken in somebody else's misfortune

 
[Late 19th century. < German < Schaden "harm" + Freude "joy"]


i am surprised its a combination of the two languages, i would have guessed german.

Yeah, I think "malicious joy" is probably the best translation for it.  There is schadenfreude in a lot of the drama I've read lately, on both sides.  This thread though was lacking it, and it just made it fizzle out.
