Refrigerate after opening.

I just read this short and wise advice on a lemon curd pot and it rang a bell inside me.  This is exactly what I have to do to cool me out after a burst of anger, or when I am about to explode like a volcano, each time my patience limits are trespassed by some silly, stupid, dumb, pedant and idiot assholes which is not that often fortunately.

I use to stay away from that kind of people as much as I can, and I don't count them amongst my friends either, but you know life always finds a way to let them come to you. Obviously very little people do possess ALL those virtues but SOME do, alas.

I am allergic to stupidity and pedantry and when both meet I am a real danger for people around me. God knows I am a patient woman (not like the biblical Job) but without being vain, I am an easy going one. Not that much talkative but rather an observer and a good listener.
You should try it, believe me, it is far better to listen to people and less frustrating too. Most of the time, people don't pay attention to what is said and as a result, we may have at least two threads of conversation going on in different directions.
As a matter of fact it is a real miracle to find people who talk the same language using the same frequency and lexicology: cause gosh, words are badly treated nowadays.

We have no time for a good chat or conversation and debates are something from the past, something our grandparents used to do. Nowadays, we use SMS and emails instead of our voices to express our feelings, our sensations, and our points of view or to share things.
Last night a female friend of mine was talking to her teen daughter, one storey upstairs, using the "Whatsup" application for blackberries and smart phones which allows its users to send free SMS: but this is not the subject right now, so let us drop it down.

I was saying that  I need to be "refrigerated after opening" and yesterday was the perfect day for my refrigeration: I had the great pleasure to have lunch with people who had all the qualities listed a few lines above, seems impossible uh? But it was the case.

The food was excellent, the sight was divine and extraordinary: an ocean of vineyards was surrounding us, we even had an awesome blue sky and a shining, smiling sun above us: a kind of paradise of Earth... but ... nothing lasts eternally and nothing is that perfect either... conversation was a disaster!
Everybody was eating and talking at the same time and behaving like cavemen... they were getting me on my nerves and I was about to drop my bomb when, for some unknown reason I stood up, muttering I couldn't eat more desserts and asked how many coffees were wanted... it was the perfect excuse to disappear into the kitchen and calm down.

Guess what? The fridge was too small!!! But there were no victims! ^_***.
