As they say while doing the "Limbo", <Can you talk about "Limbo" now that it is concepta non grata?> "How LOW can you go!" Laughing

non gra·ta (nŏn grä'tə, grăt'ə, nōn)
adj.
Not welcome; not approved: The aide, having been declared non grata, was expelled from the country.


You hear those words in the common expression, "persona non grata", which means that a person is not welcome, or wanted.

versus simply berating that person.

Poll: Would you rather be berated or persona non grata?

***

I say it depends. If she's like really hot, I'd love her to berate me.

They're being purposely obscure, crayon, don't worry about it. Do you know what a zen koan is? Think of it that way. (And look up zen koan if you don't -- they're cool, really.)

Gosh, just be glad you've made it from the "Berating" stage to the gentler "Teasing" stage.

Doesn't anyone read the A2K initiation manual anymore? Twisted Evil

You are right these are cooool. Its liek go inbetween lol have an optimistic outlook and never look for the bad?

No Cold and Heat

A monk asked Tozan, "How can we escape the cold and heat?" Tozan replied, "Why not go where there is no cold and heat?" "Is there such a place?" the monk asked. Tozan commented, "When cold, be thoroughly cold; when hot, be hot through and through.

would the answer be ...just be warm? hah a little simple but it makes sense Very Happy

Here's a definition of koan for you, might help:

Quote:
A puzzling, often paradoxical statement or story, used in Zen Buddhism as an aid to meditation and a means of gaining spiritual awakening.


And with that, Ms. No-fun is off to bed. G'night.
