Another lesson I learned while in Cairo came from an American Ex-pat from “the south”. (Atlanta area I believe).

Apparently in her culture, you can say just about anything negative about some one as long as you preface it or follow up with “bless his|her|their heart(s)”.

He is dumber than a box of hair, bless his heart.

Bless her heart, but isn’t she just a tramp?

Invaluable code really. The Good Doctor and I have just shortened it to

Bless his/her heart

when we want to express some negative thoughts about someone.

Veerrrrry handy.

So it has been 1 year since we returned to he good ole USA.

Life continues. We miss some friends. We miss some of the travel. We miss some of the weather. We don’t miss the pollution (noise or air). We don’t miss the insane traffic. We miss the level of comfort our incomes gave us in Egypt.

We miss meeting some really “interesting” ex-pats.

I am apparently still good at pointless rambling though..
