Buna seara. Am venit de la munca, unde sefu a incercat sa ma faca sa inteleg ca sunt responsabila de ce se intampla in sala pe tura mea si i-am zis ca nu ma simt vinovata si nici datoare sa platesc pentru lucrul furat de cineva (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Eu nu pot decat sa va zic sa aveti intotdeauna in geanta niste plasturi de-aia de besici la picioare si cum simtiti ca va roade ceva, puneti unul dintr-ala. 1) Nu mai roade papucul direct pe picor, 2) are si nu stiu ce substante pe el de alina imediat pielea agresata. Mie nu-mi lipseste asa ceva de la desaga de vreo 2 ani, am de la Scholl. Tot de la firma asta am si pentru glezne, daca se intampla nenorociri de-astea de la barete pe portiunea aia.

Nu mi-am luat liber de la serviciu pentru ca nu am vrut. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nesigur.gif) Si asa am plecat in timpul programului, nu am vrut sa profit mai mult decat trebuie. Ma bucur ca am reusit in sfarsit sa merg si voi mai merge peste minim 3 luni. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Nu e chiar asa rau, doar acul e maricel si o sa se faca o vanataie.

Eu maine plec la vanatoare de haine si incaltari, sper sa gasesc ceva ok, macar de incaltat pentru inceput.

Rozy, ce sef tembel ai. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Macar acum a inteles punctul tau de vedere?

Albi imi pare rau pt veste, pierderea e a lui categoric!

La arsuri mai citisem despre tinctura de propolis insa n-am constat cine stie ce efecte miroaculoase la arsurile mele. Bioxiteracorul mi se parea minunat in romania. Eu imi mai dadaeam si pe cate-un cos in tinerete si trecea, cam ca-n My big fat greek wedding cu solutia pt sters gemurile aka panaceu universal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

[pescarush]

Cleo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) windexul ala a fost tare in film. Si eu foloseam bioxiteracor in Ro si mi s-a parut intr-adevar, foarte eficient.
La al meu, cand s-a ars, i-au mai recomandat aloe vera gel, dar natural (min 99% aloe vera, nu alte chimicale). Ideal ar fi sa ai planta la indemana. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/closedeyes.gif) Si intr-adevar, in Cuba, cand s-a ars mama de la soare, aloe vera (frunza rupta) a fost extraordinara.
Felicitari Jo!!! Multa bafta mai departe!

Eu mai am un examen. Culmea, e tot duminica, la 8. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

[pescarush]

Book, vezi sa nu uiti sa-ti pui ceasul sa sune. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Nu de alta, dar iar se isca controverse pe-aici. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Bafta!

Iaca grupul etnic Mosuo in China ce mod de viata au (mie mi se pare sanatos (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fluierat.gif) )

Walking marriages
Probably the most famous and most misunderstood aspect of Mosuo culture is their practice of “walking marriage” (or zou hun in Chinese), so called because the men walk to the house of their ‘partner' at night, but return to their own home in the morning.

The Mosuo generally live in large extended families, with many generations (great grandparents, grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, etc.) all living together within the same house. For the most part, everyone lives within communal quarters, without private bedrooms or living areas. However, women between certain ages (see the section on “coming of age” above) can have their own private bedrooms.

Traditionally, a Mosuo woman who is interested in a particular man will invite him to come and spend the night with her in her room. Such pairings are generally conducted secretly, so the man walks to her house after dark, spends the night with her, and returns home early the next morning.

While it is possible for a Mosuo woman to change partners as often as she likes – having only one sexual partner would be neither expected nor common – the majority of such couplings are actually more long term. Few Mosuo women have more than one partner at a time, and more than one anthropologist has described this system as “serial monogamy”. Some of these pairings may even last a lifetime. In recent years, much information about the Mosuo has portrayed their culture as a sexually promiscuous one in which women change partners frequently.

Even though a pairing may be long term, the man never lives with the woman's family, or vice versa. He continues to live with and be responsible to his family; she continues to live with and be responsible to her family. There is no sharing of property.

Most significantly, when children are born, the father may have little or no responsibility for his offspring (in fact, some children may not even know who their father is). If a father does want to be involved with the upbringing of his children, he will bring gifts to the mother's family, and state his intention to do so. This gives him a kind of official status within that family, but does not actually make him part of the family. Regardless of whether the father is involved or not, the child will be raised in the mother's family, and take on her family name.

This does not mean, however, that the men have no responsibilities for children. Every man will share responsibilities in caring for all children born to women within their own family, be they a sister, niece, aunt, etc. In fact, children grow up with many “aunts” and “uncles”, as all members of the extended family share in the duties of supporting and raising the children.

One particularly important result of this practice is the lack of preference of parents for a child of a particular gender. For example, in most cultures, the female will join the male's family when she gets married. The result is that if a couple has a lot of female children, they will lose them after marriage, and have no one to care for them in old age; but if they have male children, their sons (and their sons' wives) will care for them. So, in poorer populations in particular, there is a strong preference for male children.

However, among the Mosuo, since neither male nor female children will ever leave home, there is no particular preference for one gender over the other. The focus instead tends to be on maintaining some degree of gender balance, having roughly the same proportion of male to female within a household. In situations where this becomes unbalanced, it is not uncommon for Mosuo to adopt children of the appropriate gender or even for two households to ‘swap’ male and female children.
