Schadenfreude
N/A

Posted on 03/03/2005 10:23:50 AM PST by Right Wing It

I was unaware up until this point that there was a German word meaning "happiness at the misfortune of others" The Word is "SCHADENFREUDE". What makes it ironic is that it is the only national language in the world to have a word for such a subject. Who else thinks there should be an American word for this?

lots of catfish around here, too and I've not developed a taste for it (it taste like mud to me) but at least here I get some really great gulf shrimp!

Sorry, I seem to have gotten diverted. You asked: "Then what happened?"

When the war was finally over and Phil could come home, he and Helen were married. They were married in the biggest cathedral in Boston, and Phil says his wedding day was the most important day of his life. Phil and his wife had several children, and they raised them in a house on 9th Avenue in Flint before they moved out to Portage Point. At the present time, Phil is still living there....

Aw, that's cute. We had two movies with Dorothy Lamour this week: "Road to Morocco" and "The Greatest Show on Earth."

She was a cutie with raw appeal! She was a well-coordinated dresser as well.

LOL! A very talented singer and dancer, and even in the 60's, she still looked good. My son wants "Road to Rio" next. I'll have to stop by the library sometime tomorrow.

Here you go:

I still have 2 other versions I made. One is with the nice silver frame and the other with a black border.

If you'd like those versions also (or instead), just let me know and I can upload it/them.
