Just found this quote for you and me , for the times when we are angry because things don �t work out the way we want here , at ESL printables or in our lives, because someone rubs us the wrong way, or doesn �t understand because , after all virtuality is not reality ...

If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?Smile

Any comment is welcome. One thing though: I don �t like my mirrors too well polished. A little bit of tarnish gives it a touching aspect!!Big smile

Hello, Marie!
 
I �m not sure I �ve understood your question, but I will try LOL
 
First thing, if it is something that I consider not fair, I will express what I think, but more as a question than expressing anger back. If the answer or answers are another "rub", first thing a rule which is for me what we call here an "iron rule": log off, and go cool down with something else.
 
Then I reflect on the situation and think: I will not react negativelly, I will try to be flexible and clear things out. Counting up to 100 also helps.  Next, log in again, and show that "if you rub back, you get rubbed even more", and not always you have to "polish" a person. Polish the situation.
 
Is this what you meant?
 
Hugs

Embrace and learn from the irritating rubs of life.  You, and your mirror are being prepared and polished for bigger and better things in the future!

my mirrors on the ceiling have to be cleaned and too well polished every week or I can �t see myself making love or having sex to the girl I have that night.

It �s also good to do a bit of rubbing against the mirror with a few angles to watch every now and again with your partner although you can�t get much leeway with a dresser mirror can you?

This is my way of cleaning and rubbing out the problems in life, because someone rubs me up the wrong way...!

Oh lord, who has time to polish their mirrors anymore;)? Rub, eh? Rub-a-dub-dub, that �s what you do to a rub.... (I sound so much more optimistic than I actually am, you know).

Gosh, Mariethe! Rub + Mirror? That�s always a perfect way to arouse our little, priapic fantasiser in Thailand. And, naturally, he responded. And, naturally, you responded.

And I�m not being judgemental - one of my favourite Discworld characters is Nanny Ogg.
