In Italy, the groom is attacked with scissors, his tie is cut up into strips, and the guests each buy a piece.
I'd wear at least three ties, and open a market stall.

They could throw the gravestone and make sure it happens.

Well, there's an old joke relating to that topic. It goes something like this:
On every wedding of a relative that I visited, my aunts came over, poked me in the cheek and said: You will be the next one.
They only stopped when I started doing the same to them on funerals.
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

Not only Filipino, but also in the US and parts of Europe. Guess it also depends on personal stuff.

@Chris-Maunderr: Don't you think it's time for CP to have a kinda personal messaging system? Inboxs and the likes?

Why?
Just what useful purpose would that serve?

And what useful purpose does Da Lounge serve? Yet we still use it!

The Lounge was originally started because of a number of complaints from your colleagues that you were talking to them.
It's great to see something achieve a worthwhile objective.

So I can PM people right here on CP without others seeing what we discussed! Like career issues not meant for the public eyes.

We already have that: there is an email link below each message, which send your message - and your login email address - to the person who wrote the post.
You can then communicate privately by email, if that's what both of you want.
But the rest of the site is about open discussion, open sharing.
Private discussions don't help that.

IIRC that idea has been shot down several times before.

This has been raised many times. The answer will be no.
This is a community, so content should be public. There is a facility to contanct members privately should they wish to enable it. Failing that there are the forums and the article sections.

Please don't. You already have one; why do you need an email-inbox per website? What's the case for having to check your mail in more than 20 different locations, each with their own password?
I can already promise I'll ignore everything that gets sent there, just as with the mailbox that the government and the bank created.

Oh, please, NO!!!

Sorry, but as others have said: We have no plans for private messaging other than the private emails that can be sent in response to forum postings.
cheers

Herself is off today and and has just raided the freezer behind me and vanished with two packs containing Pink Gold and muttering "Should have time to defrost that for lunch", and "Fancy a bacon sandwich today?"
Oh yes. Oh yes. Today is looking up!

It's a cottage cheese type thing; mixed with sugar and cream for a filling.
|
|
|
|
|
Sounds interesting... Spread or slice type thing?
|
|
|
|

If you've got a Polish store near you, they normally stock it by the name "Twaróg". It's a soft whey cheese that you'd spread and is used in both savoury and sweet dishes.
