ok i'll move it. I'll blog it tomorrow. I can't do it today

because I aleady have one blog up and my policy is no more than blog per day. The problem is you see that for registered users it is very easy to find the blogs because we have a tracking mechanism in our account which informs us when there's a new post on ablog we're on and we click and it takes us right there. It's one of the many benefits of registration. I wrote a blog on tthese benefits  a few weeks ago which I'd like to give you the link to but the computer I'm on won't paste links. I'll try to get to a differnet computer tomorrow so I can paste the link.
Thanks,
Rosie.

Lets bezáneem be chaak

Dear American Wife, RosieT and the rest who are interested in Parsi expressions,
Could we move this subject to a new thread, please?
As here is getting a bit crowded, inni'? my finger joints can't cope anymore, with all that scrolling up and down, finding out what was the question again! not to mention, the pages take ages(deliberately in plural, to rhyme) before loading up, followed by a refreshing, previewing, etc.

Jayne

Mine was to match my twin brothers middle name of James... 5 letters...:0

Wife / All-question on Persian

Wife: Re Jayne...it is a very unusual spelling with the Y. I only have the Y because my parents gave me this middle name after my cousin Jay who had died as a baby. What a coincidence...

TO THE PERSIANS, so I have a queston about Persian expressions too.  JJ recently gave a quiz on the best translation for baa sho'oor, and bi sho'oor, to have ____, to lack ______ and I googled it and someone had written an article on this in English and he said that after much consideration the best translation would be "social intelligence". However this is a term used in psychology and pedagogy in English so it's too clinical. So I sent jj "social smarts."

I also found it used in CONTEXT on an English-language Persian thread, and it appeared to have a connotation of diplomacy, tact in handling a kind of a strategy for an outcome in a social situation, or a political one.

The person who wrote the article had also said to be very careful if you were not a native speaker because bi sho'oor is VERY offensive so I translated it not as "lack of social smarts" but as "to be a boor." But I don't think that was quite right either. Regardless, that's not my question, which is...

The guy who won the quiz had submitted, to have common sesne, to lack common sense.

so, for example: one time I wdried my favorite pair of pants in a laundromat and didn't wait and came back two hours later and found out that they'd gotten thrown out by accident. So it was a lack of common sense to put a single item in a dryer and not wait until the dry cycle was done, but was it "bi shoor"? It didn't affect or damage or hurt anyone else but me and my pants, and it had ntohing to do with strategy in a social situation, it was jsut stupid. Was it "bi sho'oor".?

And second, even if a good translation for "baa sho'oor" is to have common sense regardless of whether it's a social situation or not, is "bi sho'oor" SO derogatory that "lack of common sense" is an inadequate translation in general? In English this can even be used as a kind of pet warning, We tell teenagers: What did you just do? You have no common senseQ  You're a young lady, a young gentleman, you're no longer a child! You need to grow up!" Just as one example.

Could somebody please clarify?
Thx

Rosie

American Wife: Chert

American Wife: Chert (equivalent of BS or non sense), o (“and”) and Pert (used just to rhyme with chert?!).
135: Thanks for explaining dandan shekan. But were you saying that my response was dandan shekan? If so, then what’s a good expression to use when you want to say “you’re contradicting yourself”? I thought you said that I was predictable! How can you get a dandan shekan answer from someone predictable? Wouldn’t you put your hand in front of your mouth to stop the impact on your teeth? I mean, if you know what’s coming…
Maybe here, my response to you should be: “kheily shooti”, “nakone ghati kardi”, “parto pala migi”, “ettesaali shode?”, "ghati kardi", “ejaareh dadi?”, “kalat boo ghormeh sabzi mide”, “zadeh be saret”, “mokhet yokh?”, or even “akheh to cheghad ba namaki”.
While on the subject, have you ever worn something really nice and heard someone say “mobarakeh, ishala no bemooneh” ?? such a cute language we have.

Sarcasm...

Gotta love it...:-0

Tell me, what does "cherto pert" mean?  I've seen it a few times and not sure of the intention.

Rosie...I've been meaning to slip this in but elsewhere has been too emotionally charged and this is purely personal.  My middle name is/was Jayne as well... ;-)

Would that be something like when I got so exasperated with one

of the lunkheads here and I said "Your head is as thick as the Black Stone of the Kaaba.  Suggest you make a pilgrimage to it one day?"

.
In Farsi, a Dandaan-Shekan response is;

-a response so punchy that once thrown at addressee's face, the metaphoric impact will leave him no tooth intact, and as the result, the addressee won't be engaging in discussion any longer, due to "having a mouth full of broken teeth"

This last phrase comes only in informal conversations and carries a sarcastic charge.

LOL

Explanation of Teeth

Get the quiz box again, here it comes

I didn't mention;

-And Responds predictably.

Honestly, it could kill the fun, so held me tongue and made it exciting for everybody.

Please don't mind me. Being constantly high on morph, coca and pcp provokes me writing such nonsense and provoke others.
Could you bear with me for a sec, darling? Let me get those lines before sneezin it away.
Wow, that was the real gear.
Well, lets plug and play some solid Gibson.

This is Star litterature. Keep up. most def. will be discovered.--> Who said I was out here for star litterature and wanting to be discovered. For your bread crumb minded information. I've submitted serious articles under other names too. So don't assume I'm stupid. There's room for fun too. Go suck an egg.
But it's so fun to see that you put the time to try to figure me out...awwww Thanks babes.

DEAR RESPONDERS TO ME ON PERSOnAL ISSUES: As

I've already requested twice, please don't let's discuss this here. I've asked you to go to my good-bye blog TO ALL MY FRIENDS or write me personally.  Now there's a better choice: go to Q's reply TO ROSIE. And I will respond.

However, one last tihng I MUST say here:, this is EXAcTLY what I "did" to aNadia, I simply told her nicely ((and in a very friendly way because she WAS my friend) that I owuld not dialog with her on Kobra's blog until she deleted or translated or somethinged a Spanish-language post which I thought was inappropriate to be on an English-language blog--,and she would not and continued to dialog with me, a dialog which promptly degenerated into a monolog between Nadia and Nadia in the wimndmills of Nadia's mind. That is all that happened. Exactly what's happening right now. Except for themonolog and windmills part.

Love it, love it, love it! You said it so right! You have figured her out too!

Nobody's leaving

.
Dear Rosie,

I have seen you encouraging others to stay and swim a bit longer in order to build resilient against pressures and frustrations!
This is not a request, it's an ORDER;
You are not going anywhere.
Even consider me having slapped your face, pulling you out of the present state of mind, you're struggling in.
Got it?

We need Everybody to stay. You are a good writer.

Cheap Thrills

I agree please don't discuss

I agree please don't discuss Rosie's personal issues here. She wishes to leave, let her. Life will go on...I promise you. And anyway, she'll be back (say that in an Arnold Sch. accent/voice)
Baba bezarin in bereh...nakeshidesh inja. VAH VAH

SOURI I asked in BOLDFACE ALL CAPS that no one discuss

me further ON NEZANIN'S BLOG unless relevant TO HER BLOG, but you just did, Souri, and you mischaracterized me by claiming I am irrational based on my interraction with Nadia on another blog, so I HAVE to say briefly RIGHT HERE that I was NOT irrational with Nadia.  All I told Nadia over and over was to do something about a long Spanish-language post she'd written me which I wasn't going to answer as long as it was in Spanish.  This is not irrational.  It is reasonable and fair to the readership.  Her refusal to correct that issue resulted in a long monolog between Nadia and Nadia  which culminated in her exposing extremely personal information about my current private life replete with gross misrepresentations ,and publicly WARNING me never to address her again.  I didn't even address those things there except to bow out of the "conversation"!!!

I am sorry, Nezanin and others but Souri said it here, it must be clarified here. ANYTHING ANYTHING ELSE ANYTHING WHATSOEVER ABOUT ME outside the scope of Nezanin's blog--not here.  There.  Elsewhere. Anywhere. Nowhere. ANYWHERE BUT HERE.

Dear Rosie

I read Q's blog and am very glad he did it. We all owe it to our non Iranian friends.

Unfortunately I don't have much time to read and write today.

Just leave this short note to assure you, that question :

"as far as my recent blogs and comments...are you sure you are not influenced by the 'erotic' or 'pornographic" content aof some of them..""

No honey. It has noting to do with that blog of your's. I am more open minded than this. I even was used to read Sarvenaz's edition and liked them all. Erotic is good, as long as there's no vulgarity...and your blog was not vulgar neither.

I was talking about your judgement, you seem less rational than before, nowadays. It seems to me that recently you are too agitated and irritated, especially regarding that convers. with Nadia in Kobra's blog.

Anyway, all I wish is your best ! Take care

Souri thanks for supporting my leaving.

The reason for the change in tone when I wrote here was because someone I never knew offsite privately wrote me a long impassioned plea for me to stay, a person who is in my opinion one of the top writers here. .this made me wonder if there way a way there could be some kind of reconciliation....I was very moved so...

 I made a stupid mistake by alluding to my leaving on this blog after asking that it be talked about privately only but.....I was in a very optimistic mood and these are the consequences...that you wrote about it here...

as far as my recent blogs and comments...are you sure you are not influenced by the 'erotic' or 'pornographic" content aof some of them and is that related to the issue at hand of my mental health?  (I'd aslo stated I was going to write an article about the Internet and pornography, which I had been planning among several others...)

 In any case if you or anyone else want to talk about this, go to my own blog or cantact me privately, definitely no more here, it's not my blog..

One more thing,, I've never understood why jj's direct e-mail isn't available on-site. .The contact us option sucks, you can really only comfortably enter a couple of lines there, and the contact on the Registered Users is buried. I thought for some unfathomable reason he didn't Sgive out that e-mail on purpose.  Once again, stupid of me.

Robin

Gross title

I can see this writer come up with this title, but is this title acceptable for Iranian.com? What's next? Cheez-e-seh-sar?

Dear N.zanincanadai !

"Jolly Good Show" !!

Don't listen to .....,donot stop writing !. Not now that dear Rosie is leaving us ! I need my last " Harold Robbins" to stay.

Best wishes

P.S

Misleading title!!

Friends,I donot agree,this is a literary art !Please read Oscar Wilde's works,you'll see this art at its best there!!.

Your comemnt was not published?

There was at least one anonymous comment for this posting which I deleted by mistake when I woke up Saturday morning. Instead of clicking on "approve", I deleted a whole list of comments for various articles.

Kheyli bebakhsheed.

Please repost.

Rosie jan, JJ's email is jj@iranian.com....

No need to complicate the matter,honey jan, JJ's email address is known to everybody.

Dear Rosie,

You know I am a true friend (even only virtually) but a good friend anyway.

If I could suggest anything to you, regarding your last post (A note to..) It would be better you leave now, at least for a while.

Reading your recent posts and comments, I believe you are in a state of mind which can't take anything anymore. Staying in this site for longer will do more harm to your health.

Take a time off like you did last time and come back after you feel really better and stronger to face all those animosities existent in this site.

Believe me, Iran is a beautiful country, but she is not the "Whole World" dear. There are many good cases in this world which need to fight for and in a better place.

We are not nice people, especially those of us who live abroad since the revolution, we are too "morally injured". We are all preoccupied with our own injuries, our own wounds, we can't do better with others, than we/they did to you. So leave now and keep this in your mind when you are ready to come back here.

It is this and will always stay the same here, until someone decide to do something about that.

Take a good care of yourself, my dear Rosie.

Á bientót......

I know, I know, I'm leaving. But not til Wednesday. So...

a few observations:

1. BIG BOOBS? 24 COMMENTS? ON A BLOG presumably about boobs? With all these articles and blogs and newsfeeds on critical geopolitcal issues with only a handful of comments or none? Gorgeous travelogues, literature virtuallly unacknowleged? Gentlemen, which head are you thinking with? This iis, our COUNTRIES, our PLANET!!!  Not a Jayne Mansfield film. Ladies, you're awesome.

2. I totally agree with the posters below who say that it is unfair to give a blog a  misleading name,  and unfair, and in this case immature, to feature it ESPECIALLY WHEN FEATURED SPOTS ARE SO FEW AND LAST SO LITTLE TIME AND ARE SO HIGHLY COMPETITIVE. Once I was tempted to do this myself and I'm glad I didn't. 

3.. I WANT TO REMIND YOU TO ADDRESS YOUR LETTERS TO JJ DIRECTLY BY E-MAIL.  In this specific case itAkhavaz and Gaffer.  Here's how you do it:  Use the Contributors button at the bottom of the homepage. DON'T use Contact Us.  It doesn't provide enough space to write a letter, only a comment. JJ can'tY read every post on every thread carefully.   Gaffer, Akhava, please,. if you have't already, copy and paste your letters to JJ today.  It's important for everyone to participate in the website process4. 

5.   I like Admin (Foaad) so much.    But he can ONLY respond to technical concerns.  You have to contact JJ directly yourself about content. Just because Foaad visited doesn't mean he always can or or that JJ can either. At least, that's my (admittedly limted) munderstanding.

6.  MacDonald's?  I prefer Old MacDonald Had a Farm.  The food is fresher.

Good-bye as of Wednesdy coming. I know, I know, you'll be so glad to see me go.  Who do I think I am anyway?  I'm not even Iranian.  I'm Tahitian. :oP

Robin G.

Nazanin it is not fair!

I clicked on your article because of the title,but I was disappointed because I did not see any mention of big breasts anywhere.Was this a trick or you are revealing something about yourself :-)Live Love laugh

The bigger the better

You can say whatever you want, but please don’t insult big boobs. I love big boobs and I like them when they are sweaty and smelly. Thanks and may god help you.

Thanks for reading

Those who are with me: Thanks. Sorry if I go overboard sometimes. I need an artistic manager ...

REST: Clearly you're running out of things to debate.

Grocery shopping went well. The home cooked meal was orgasmicly good....which brings me to my next point, ba ejaze, I have some ebraazeh ehsaasaat to take care of before I get too frustrated.

have a nice weekend.

Haj...

why are you assuming these are American kids?  Couldn't they have been of some other ethnicity?  Perhaps even Iranian?  God forbid.

Politically incorrect is

Politically incorrect is RIGHT...lol.  Who but Nazi would dare to write such a thing.  Well, maybe Rosie... but half way through she'd get lost and off on another tangent.  God love them both. 

She didn't say a thing that every single one of us hasn't thought at one time or the other.  No, I don't mean about McDonalds for pete's sake.  Most of you are way too uptight to go to McDonalds... some of that Western decadence might rub off on you.

I thought it was funny as hell.  It's not a bit worse than some of the other blogs that get featured here.  Would you really rather hear about JJ's ED????

Come ON.  Lighten up people... it's Friday and there is a cold beer waiting at home... maybe a margarita!!

It doesn't hurt a bit to laugh... try it.

To Admin

Dear Foaad:

It will sound so presumptuous of me disagreeing with the site administrator, but I brave it!

1.  Delete and edit are not the same thing.  Yes, a blogger can erase the entire text in his/her blog in edit mode, but he/she cannot delete other people's comments in edit mode.  As you can see, they are not the same thing.

2.  When you say "if you really don't want your comment to be deleted, just make it in the form of a blog entry of your own," you are over-simplifying the issue and addressing it in its over-simplifed state.  The idea behind leaving comments on a blog is to have a dialogue which by its very nature involves more than one person, where a post is hopefully enriched with every additional comment.  Of course everyone can blog about whatever they want, but individual blogs are not as valuable as a thread on which many people's opinions and interactions converge.  I think the single most important reason the new version of Iranian.com software is so great is just that--the ability for readers to comment and to add flavor, depth, and substance to discussions on an on-line basis.  It is the total sum of the original blog PLUS those 15, 50, 100, or 350 comments which make a piece important and valuable and unique, worth preserving and keeping.  

3.  May I propose that the software be modified (in your copious spare time!) to allow a deletion only when there are no comments attached to the post and after that only with JJ's intervention?  This might solve the problem.

Thanks for replying and for listening.
