When you mistake “how are you” for a serious question…
German in america woes
Like, why even ask If you don’t care
Well, I live in Germany (and have always lived here) and it’s part of the greeting ritual. Why say hello when you expect no other answer than hello back
When I’m ill or something, I have to consciously work against the tendency to say I’m good.
Yeah, that’s a common misunderstanding. When they want a lengthy discourse regarding your status, they’ll instead say, “Tell me of the waters of your homeworld, Usul.”
i rambled the other day about how I already have a headstone in the ground with my name on it; my first wife died when I was 32. Said it’s easy, I’ll just make sure I “go” right in front of it so nobody has to worry about cleanup. Was joking in a dark way, around my peer firefighters. Realized there were teens listening who were boggled I have a stone already. I’m fine.
Honestly, that’s just a very responsible thing to do. Good for you
well to be honest at 32 I didn’t figure I would marry again. Though I did years later. My wife now understands as much as one can and knows my wishes. (cremate. 50 in first plot 50 anywhere else. :) )
