Kefir is great, especially for digestion. It has quite a strong taste - if you like greek yoghurt or plain one, you'll like kefir as well. I would try plain one first and if it's too strong I would go with vanilla one.

My mum grew up on a farm in Serbia. usually her breakfast was a huge slice of homemade bread with a layer of lard and sprinkled with sugar or ground red pepper. The whole family was thin and my grandparents died in their late 80's. But they also did a lot of physical work.

When I was a kid I used to go there for the summer holidays for a few weeks - food was amazing (fresh milk, cheese, eggs meat, vegetables and fruit, homemade bread) and I'd always lose weight. As soon as school would start I'd gain it all back.

I wish I could get masa harina here. I'm really sick of buying overpriced corn tortillas at the supermarket.

Bump.

I really can't find any other recipes except pudding or indian dishes (with ingredients that are hard to get here). I'm not a big fan of bubble tea either.

I guess I'm stuck with making different variations of tapioca pudding - suggestions?

YOLO is absolutely the worst! Even here teenagers slip it into the conversation (in English), it makes me want to kill.

The one that irks me it's same in English and in my language - I'm sorry but...

It just really bothers me because I start questioning ''Why are you really sorry for: because you're making a point/expressing your opinion/not agreeing with me/...?''

I'm sorry for the loss Leronia. I understand where you're coming from, I used to experience this kind of anxiety before

Unfortunately In the last year and a half my cousin died in a car accident, my friend and my uncle lost battle to cancer (it went pretty fast for both of them - 6 months after diagnosis) and 3 weeks ago my boyfriend's mother suddenly passed away.

But since I remember I dealt with premature death of many family members and friends which made me somehow harden. I feel like I don't know how to grieve anymore, like I'm completely void of any emotions. I'm usually a very sensitive person who overthinks, cries at any given moment, gets to involved ... but in this kind of situations I just shut down. I'm just scared all of this will suddenly hit me in the future.

I'm an atheist and I don't believe in afterlife - those people (the way I known them to be) are gone and I'll never see or hear them again.

I feel really bad for her especially how this is handled by the media. People just love to watch train wrecks I guess. I hope she'll get help.

Sorry guys, but I don't think an American driver can top the lunacy of a Chilean behind the wheel. And I love Chileans (the ones I've met anyways).

From my experience US drivers and Canadian drivers are great. My most terrifying drives were always in Italy, in my opinion drivers there are the worst in Europe.

I've never been to Chile, but my friend use to live there and said exactly the same thing. Apparently driving in Morocco and Egypt is also a nightmare.

As for my North American road trips I guess ''the worst'' were Pennsylvanian drivers. This summer I'm going on a road trip from up state NY to Seattle, so I guess I'll have more experience to compare afterwards.

We have terrible drivers here in Slovenia that's why I hate driving and I avoid it as much as possible.

Just the other day there was a story on the news:

What are the main characteristics of the Slovenian driver:

- The highway is slightly foggy , I'm turning on the fog lamps.

- I'm driving out of the village/town, I'm not sure what the speed restrictions are, so I'll drive 50 km/h (circa 30mph) just in case.

- Turn signals are unnecessary, I know where I have to turn, you don't need to.

- Right lane on the highway is just for trucks, even if it is empty, I must drive on the left lane.

- Safety distance? What's that?

- If I'm sticking to the rear of the driver in front of me, he will surely drive faster.

- I'm first in line in front of the traffic light, I don't have to look at the light, people behind me will honk when it turns green.

- Line of vehicles on the left lane, queue of trucks on the right lane, I will blink with lights until everybody moves so I can go through.

- Why is this idiot driving 130km/h (80mph which is the highway speed limit) on the left lane?!

- I can't turn backwards on the main road? Why not?

- The mirror in the car is there so that you can fix your lipstick.

- I can have this phone conversation now, I'm just driving.

- The roundabout has two lanes because it's easier to drive in a circle, because of the wider surface.

One of the reasons I quit was also my boyfriend. He hates smoking and he basically told me that our relationship wouldn't work in the long run if I continue to smoke. But then again I want it to quit so this was just the extra push for me.
