Rats I have known and loved

RATS I knew and loved

What must we understand about the Council, is that once you have made it clear you know what they are up to make it to very good. . . or they go straight from the life forever. Half-measures are not their strength.

It is bizarre. But after View of many Chinese, the quality of the most lovable people advice is honesty. I prefer the Vari ¬ Oriental society of honesty as something closer to fair play, or easy to interpret only a high regard for justice. Rats do not like to witness Happenings, which is exhibited inappropriate par-tiality ¬ unless Of course, "said Council is the herald of the inequity.

The Council has a two-person nature. Outwardly, he is generous and kind, he seems calm, balanced. On the inside, Harbour Rats excessive self-interest in the form of avarice and greed. What is different from your usual ¬ Council topics Nary miser is their very low regard for the equitable distribution of the Bounty-out with those they feel worthy.

Council standards are high. They are not easy by Small talk and chatter seduced. If you choose such a rat person wants, he will not hide his feelings. Once he has decided to make friends with someone, whether its hospitality and benefit to extend to previously impassable limits.

Given these strict rules, which directs the Council generally

for themselves when one of his "chosen" finally suggests, or in any way trying to outwit him, he is able both revenge and ¬ priate unreasonable demands for retribution. Rats never accept to play with me or taken lightly. In business partnerships, as well as in love, they are less if ¬ Ruth crossed.

Here is a tale told around the corner, advice from my apartment in Paris, two American expatriates living side by side in a pair of wooden houses. These houses were built of gardeners shed. was long time ago in the postwar forties (before the French building regulations as stringent as today), we might still be those Jewels within the city limits and with minimal investment, they turn into livable homes. Times have changed. Or, Sun, I learned from my neigh ¬ bor Council lady, Claire Augustus (b. 1948).

Claire came to me that her husband Nick wanted a third small tool shack in her garden converted into a guest house information. Seriously, she says, while we were in Majorca this summer met the building organization to discuss zoning. Our call for a Con ¬ struction was allowed rejected. I am so angry, "I could spit!" Claire breathed a controlled anger and moved on. "From what I was under ¬, was our next-door neighbor Paul Kradlow at this meeting. He is president of the Copropriété [In France, all buildings condomini ¬ EMS. Everyone has his own apartment.] Normally, what Paul says. I do not understand. We left everything in the hands Kradlow. Paul insists it is not his Guilt. He claims he made a very convincing speech in our defense. This small guest house would disturb no one. Apart from Paul, no one can even see that Shack. The decision is unjust, but we are not legally rely on it. "Your eyes with the fog of frustration filled home ¬ owners.

Two Weeks after the hearing, Claire's diatribe against the unreason ¬ able vote, I ran into Paul Kradlow Montparnasse in an artists' rendezvous. Paul a painter. Although he has never been my favorite person, we have neighbors so long that we always smile and nod to each other have been in public places. On this day, Paul atypical called me to his table. "Sit down, will you?" he said. I was sitting.

"Well," said Paul. "I suppose you have about their wild plan heard

To turn your shed into a pension? "I nodded. He blathered on:" Of course, as President of the Copropriété, I have certain tasks to the building authorities. In the summer we had a meeting. The Augustus were gone, so I had to call a vote in absentia. Fortunately, were the most of their followers from the city at the time. The vote came out negative. "Paul's subsequent sigh was not quite heavy enough.

"How do you vote, Paul got?" He blanched, took a sip of his white Bordeaux, and winked at me when he said: "Negative". Then smiled He winked and then.

I pulled my arm away from him. "Fine friend you are!" I cursed angrily. "If I were Claire, I would-"

"She has," he murmured sadly.

"You did what?" I demanded.

"She found out from one of the people at this meeting that I had spoken to her request for a permit. "His eyes began to me for some small torch of neighborly tolerance . Search Instead, I looked back. He continued: "In the middle of last night, Claire has a horrible thing for me." Paul saw his perfectly healthy. No Scratches, cuts or dents. He had no family for them to threaten, so I could not imagine what Claire was elected to do to get his crimes against the trust to have revenge. Paul took an emotional marker and began to write on the paper tablecloth. "Here is what they did," Paul said. "She painted these words on the side of their own scales. In huge white letters on the dark green forest. "I looked at the message he had drawn on the cloth. He said: Thou shalt not false witness against your neighbor! I burst into uncontrollable laughter. Only one Council could think such a feat. Paul's Kitchen-Sink-View was for life with a permanent reminder of the broken stained bid.

Assuming that the artist constitute injustice, Paul said sheepishly, "I may not even have to paint over them. Which is shed on her property. Do not you think that's one thing to do at a ratty old friend? "

Rising on to leave the table, grinned broadly and I agreed. "Gotta take care Council, Paul. They are all around us."

Rat people are charming. Even at their worst, they manage to conjure a welcoming "hello" or "How are you?" for a visitor

or passing acquaintance. Social Meetings are their life blood. Monastery a sociable person by the Council and he will wither and die of loneliness. Since this topic is blessed with an engaging personality and winning Art, he loves to entertain, celebrate fetuses cook exotic dishes for the benefit of his guests, and in general, was on the celebrations and festivities. If you are ever asked to Rat bash, accept with pleasure. You will not be disappointed. In addition, unusual surprises may be in stock, for people under the Sign of the rat are born very proud of the search for new distractions ¬ for themselves and for their playmates.

Such an amazing guy is my favorite male rat friend of all, Richard Reventlow. When Richard is a party celebrating or even the smaller of the family of birth is rising, my curiosity barometer sharp.

After asked recent birthday of his wife Sheila's party, they tell me: "What will he think of next?" Sometimes I think Richard has really gone round the bend. "Sheila was around them stumbled disaster area of a living room, righting tables and chairs, pick spots Con ¬ Fetti, wiping spilled ice from the carpet.

"You know, I really have nothing against the first batch of monkeys. The brown were kind of cute, as they rode around on tricycles and carried Tricks for the coach. My mother-in-law looked a little shocked when that black rhesus monkeys jumped in her coffee cup, but it should be used from now on Richard. I guess they will survive. "

From the kitchen, Sheila had to raise their voice to a shriek: "But see the chimps! Did you see how dirty were they? Why not Richard, looking at her, before he signed on, I'll never know. I mean, really, Suzanne, ever on the hiring six wild beasts around ride a Fifth Avenue living room on mini-motorcycles heard? The noise alone was frightening. "

Sheila motioned me into her room. "Let's to go into my bedroom and relax with a drink. We can see a silent movie on television. Anything is better than us in this mess. "

If we had established ourselves in our respective places in front of the TV, Sheila on the bed and me in a chaise lounge, I thought, ask them what Richard had her birthday given.

"I do not know yet. He says it will be a surprise. Maybe it has something to bring home this evening. As far as I know could it be a pet baboon. "Sheila was a loving smile.

Turn on the TV with the remote control, Sheila suddenly trembling all over. At first I could not help but laugh. She looked so silly, just sitting there, shaking Sun I was shocked with joy. All I heard was her vibrato cry: "This Richard damned, "she shrugged out loud." He is so crazy. Do you know what he's gone and done? "

Alarming as their strange appearance, was I could not stop bub ¬ bling with laughter every time I tried to answer it. "What is it? Are you all right?" I managed between giggles to snap.

had also begun abruptly as the twitching, they stopped. The television went out. Sheila, in a fit of giggles, was reading aloud from a note pinned found had to make the pillow. "My favorite wife," to read them. "Hope you like this little gift. It's called Magic Fingers. Remember how much you like when we went merrily Motel in Ohio? The medium is the massage! Love You Forever. Richie. "

I can assure you that Richard is not a Reventlow crazy person. He does one that way. Last year, on the occasion of their tenth wedding anniversary lent him his wife fireworks. The year before he was a roller-skating birthday . Celebrate He rented an ice rink for the evening, invited fifty friends and pursued the Skate-in with a Hayride through Central Park

Rat people have a preference for luxurious indisputable victory over the simple life. Every time I meet a new council, the first thing I notice is his clothing, fine jewelry and elegant manners. Bite the status of his bank account, background or social position. Rats like to seek their best. They surround themselves with fine quality objects. The women of this sign have a exquisite taste in wardrobe and two decorative accouterments. Their houses are often showpieces for delicate antiques, or an array of plants of the jungle that no one else ever seems to be able to grow.

Despite this love of the good life, people make Council Con ¬ scientious parents. Each step on the road to the Development of a child

captures the interest of a Council mother or father. there physically or morally, if one is to wrap the injured or discouraged their feel that the Council will make great efforts to see that this is wrong erect. This allows people to describe what some advice from us, as a "good guy". You will always be nominated president of the Committee for the Annihilation of Mental Health "and serving on the board of directors of a charity or the other.

You will recall that one of our very own famous Rats, Marlon Brando (born 1924), took up the cause of the American Indian, to the extent of the rejection of a Academy Awards on television, so that he help the public about its serious intention to inform.

Brando was a very good advice case. He always knew how to share his advice stimuli to excellent use. The variety of roles he played in his life, each of them with the same ease and talent, brought his fans much joy Agents and heartbreak. But like all rats Brando was not identified for its ability to compromise when dealing with the directors or other actors and actresses. His on-the-set reputation was never very flattering. Rats gripe a lot and are often dissatisfied with the efforts of others. It is for them the fact that no one is self-perfect tolerate difficult. This feeling of discontent for some time ¬ results in nagging and complaints. Rats can make life very difficult ¬ cult for employees.

My mother used to talk about my advice of an uncle in this way: "Ed, an angel in the crowd. But he is a devil at home." It was true. My Uncle Ed was a misery to live. He never came home on time for dinner. He worked long hours in his office in the hope of making that big killing in real estate (which he eventually). He gasped for his children more often than he should have. And according to my good mother, "Ed ran in the women."

In part of my mother's old-fashioned way describe Uncle Ed says a lot about the Council's character. But those who knew Ed implicitly under ¬ stood his talent to participate in extra-household responsibilities and charitable acts of patronage. The fact is, Ed, never "ran around with the women" in the way that one normally thinks that pastime. But he did Fundraising activities for the ladies auxiliary in his church organization.

And he went out stack of clattering nuns and forth moves on land and served on committees throughout his life to improving conditions in Ver ¬ a senior complex for women only. So, the Council stated that he did was "round" conducted with women, but not in the classic sense.

Rats make a science of the art of impressing people. No one escapes with lukewarm feelings about a rat. Half the time, he is hated (even feared), and the other half is blind, he worshiped by those who know him. But regardless of the surrounding atmosphere, the rat graceful.

Rats often deport themselves in a rather controversial way. You are at home about politics with visiting British Prime Minister, comfortable personal chat with the boys down at the local bar, and convince quick to take auto mechanics to 20 percent of their repair costs. It is not fair to say that rats are con artists. But they are very convincing and will stop at almost nothing To her way. Whether working in industry or emotional negotiations ¬ gene, rat people never completely free of mental arithmetic. Their warmest feelings and gestures of generosity colored with overtones of self-interest. Rarely, if ever, a rat person giving love or friendship unless he will ultimately be of benefit to him feels. Their motto: "you scratch my back and wash" valid. It is well known among mature adults, that nothing is free. What is different about the Council's inability, of that with the exception of Pat ¬ Tern differ for old times' sake or because he wants to spoil a former mistress. Sentimentality of the sticky, sweet, juicy variety is very much out of the Council the line, but he is a child's play of memory and tradition.

To either affection or interest, Council will bend back ¬ Ward. A council person to make with a novel or a gain from a business venture will ignore all emotional limits, until it reaches its destination. For this reason, make superlative Rats Profiteers. Sometimes it seems as if everything they touch to gold. Rats are the troubleshooting of the world. You can move in a bank ¬ RUPT venture, take it over on the spot and in weeks the whole thing in tiptop shape again have. You see the tree stumps and find loopholes uncover shady deals with ease and Grace.

This ability to see through walls and know exactly where

look for the weakest link, if used wisely, will serve to make the Council be successful in almost every business. But if the Council elects a person to abuse this talent, he is capable of the lowest type of indo ¬ lence. If life is too easy, the Council may be lazy.

Rats need to be loved. Just because they so severely ¬ plea sure to take in social situations and are usually for gifted GAB does not mean that the company does not tax the pedestrian demands on their talents to the mind. The Council is always hungry soul for closer contact, more intimacy, sharing of thoughts and desires. At home he has to talk things through. It is almost uncanny how rats think on your feet or Calculate discuss during coups. Deep thinking philosophically ¬ net buildings almost never any benefit of it. Even if they spend much of their time with reading or roll Documents to give the same to their books, they need to discuss what they have read. If your love partner and is pre ¬ be born under the sign of the rat Compared to many nights stay to rap about the various possible strategies, products, and has friends, etc., the rat feels longer than it sleeps he be gone.

Rat people are fans of La Bonne Table. You almost always among those who know about wines and delicacies figure. They know how to pretty appetizing, and spreads them not to resist if confronted with the consumption of it. Most of the rats I know, have a weight problem. You can simply not say "No" to themselves when it gourmandises to delicious dose. Rats are nibblers, nosh, and snackers.

Bargains and cheap jump in Council Shop sales people from countries ¬ ters, newspaper advertisements and catalogs. If the A & P offered eight p.m. peanut butter jars for the price of ten, and you have a fast Overview of the ladies who would be first thing in the morning crowd to bet I ready that at least half of these "go-FERS" were in a Council Year born. Popular belief is that rats, small pieces of this treasure, and that, to be safe to eat when times are lean. Mind you, people are not Council stingy to share their spoils. You just want to be prepared for bad times. They are savers, buyers of insurance and planners for the future. And, if by some accident, they have not thought about that

will pay the rent, if they get too old and gray, rats will not spend much time think about their same.

A rat friend of mine is so preoccupied with security and get ¬ ting into their operations for the duration, which I often accuse her, never a single spontaneous buying experience. If they do not begin to collect ¬ ten in next year's Christmas presents in January, she fears she may have no money, if this holiday on the horizon threatens. Jayne buys their French wine, German beer, foie gras and other non-perishable goods by the case or barrel. It has an extra tank of oil next to their house in the fall of the energy crisis takes a turn for the worse. No one is at the thought, the foundations for overjoyed but my friend Jayne Council is even worried about the case is running short on luxury. Your home is a real air-raid shelter of the gourmet provisions.

Much abused and For the non-attacked the same set of priorities as other humans, rats an unpleasant way to defend themselves. If a corner driven, they are the most aggressive. In the middle a little discussion of what should have torn a win ¬ Dow shadows are done are the people capable of turning their audience in the Council most offensive manner. Council people think, there's no defense like a good action. So, if they are threatened (even in a small way), beat them out. Sometimes take them a proud and authoritative tone and out of nowhere to start snapping platitudes of the "I'm the boss around here!" variety.

For anyone who has ever engaged is with the malaria Council aware of his mercurial temper, who know him well, often to avoid trouble by skirting the discussion of certain topics. For sensitive topics can cause to take offense to the Council or one of his tantrums, a wise friend reluctant to jump in feet first and talk about this point. If the Council states how irritable he was, he would be sad ¬ Proba Bly by this knowledge. Council debates, and people enjoy rap sessions, but since they are not always willing to admit their own mistakes or miscalculation prefer, many people not to argue with them.

Last year I worked for a man who sells fireworks French Council be, not just hats and firecrackers, but it shows up-in-the-air high-in-the-sky showers of the invention of color. Since he had decided to take the

American explosives industry by storm, and did not speak a word of English, committed Monsieur Lupin me as his interpreter. Together, we flew to the United States to conquer, but Lupin did not speak English and not a prospective client could American Fireworks syllable French. I did not know what I was in, but who could a job if the product launch will take place at a specific business meeting in an open field at night under a blanket of shooting stars and Roman candle?

In retrospect, would be translated for a child's play Lupin have been if it had not been for his singular inability to function alone. As I have said Rats are communicators. You have to speak, to believe that they are still alive and thinking. Can you imagine spending three weeks (including weekends), as the-ear dog seeing a garrulous Council suddenly deaf and mute by birth in a country where you are his only way of contact with humanity? What more, includes the psy ¬ psychology of the Council, a hefty dose of suspicion, and this particular invention in particular the Council was very left out every time I said "Good Morning, Mr. Jones' in English. At the time, he has this side of the ocean, Monsieur Lupin had a spectacular case of paranoid Americanophobia.

Every time the English Words escaped my lips, Lupin was certain I was trying to deceive him or take over the world supply of black powder sin ¬ GLE-handedly. He thought of actually a point that I was in league with his big competition in this country. But he paid me. He had me set in France. I had never seen fireworks from up Close before the meeting with him. My work, if they wanted to convey only from the inter ¬ preting what Monsieur Lupin turer to a customer or a manu ¬ was most gratifying. But this long night talk-ins on whiskey after whiskey in dark hotel bars all across America. . . . After a week, I honestly believed I would die of overspeak.

Life is really for most rats, little more than an extended game of chess. Much of their time spent maneuvering in the offensive position. The rest of life gets advice from preoccupa ¬ NEN with projected eaten aggressive methods of withdrawal from the countless ¬ able culs-de-sac, that lying in wait on the next Train lie.

Basically, the rat a kind soul. Despite his uneasiness about his

own image can lead to urge him Buffet or those whom he fears is to get the best out of him, pushes but these are mild elbow jabs in the ribs of his opponent. Rats are not the kind of tyrannical Barbarians who go on even their best friends to be successful. If they are somewhat promiscuous, their extracurricular escapades only the result of self-doubt or Fear for their attractiveness. When rats are to seriously believe that their lies are measures of self-defense. The whiter the lie, the more comfortable the rat.

Rats, no matter how large the extent of their success or importance ¬ tion, are capable of great humility. No job is ever too low for a rat, no job too ridiculous to run for a friend.

Back a few years when my friends introduced me to film star Council Keir Dullea (born 1936), I learned a few Facts about how Council lov ¬ position can really be. Keir Dullea has cosmic-blue eyes the color varies with his mood from Delft to Wedgwood. He is glorious, famous, talented and still has the "lost boys" look he wore in the movie David and Lisa. Like all the rats, he is outgoing, funny and energetic.

Keir is also a loyal friend. He is one of those people of whom we say: "It would do you the shirt off his body." He is generous and funny to boot.

The day I found a small studio in which my writer's trade ply, was a victory for me. The room was small and dark, typically Parisian stuffy and poorly equipped. But it was mine. Keir was visiting Paris at the time and offered to help me, renovation of the place. Aware of my lack of aptitude for manual work, I was by his willingness to paint a nail and pound forward a wall.

Aware that the Council's ability to organize, will always be my supe rior ¬ that I plan to attack Keir the beat to my scruffy on your own. I agreed to pitch in with the drudgery but admitted that I really do not have the slightest idea where to start.

First things first. Keir we rolled out to the local carpet shop in Paris, where we bought enough indoor / outdoor carpet to cover the sloppy linoleum floor. I asked the carpet have supplied, but Keir said: "You will never get it there on time. I'll just carry it back to your place." And with that, he raised the role of the giant red carpet on his

Shoulder and crashed into the ceiling lights, break it into a million pieces.

After we laughed and paid the nice shopkeeper for his lamp, went through the streets of Paris Keir for about a kilometer, whistling, as if he was one of the seven dwarfs. Paris, ¬ unac customed to do-it-yourself, pointed and chuckled as he trudged along under his heavy load. Needless to say, French mockery went Unno ¬ ticed by our hero Council. Keir had a Carpet packed and that was reason enough to prefer single-handedly to its target. In addition, rats love drama, especially when they do it.

said In short, I am now the only living American writer in Paris who works in a studio decorated by a movie star's own hand. Keir worked for three days fixing, painting, Bonding contact paper on shelves, assembly, and his carpet in cracks with a bread knife. All of the rat Persis ¬ tence and was meticulous in his efforts and the end result is both appealing and practical.

Richard Nixon (born 1912/13) was a rat. Until he mixes with his own brand of slick politicians began, Dick Nixon was by many Americans as a kind of smile which no one felt they could be the big shots and join in their own idea of a presidential candidate mold. But I do not think that the world was ready for Brother Council, the tendency to want all power for themselves. If they had read this book would have guessed Nixon's cronies far in advance that if a rat feels trapped, or stymied by his colleagues, he takes one of two escape routes. Either he sneaks to become a hermit, or he turns into a terrible boorish racket. In the case of Richard Nixon, both methods were employed. If aggression failed, he disappears into the woodwork ¬ disappeared.

In addition to Marlon Brando (born 1924), of which we speak, as the price was before the Council, our time has been graced by many famous personalities Council. Adlai Stevenson, Sr. was Born in 1900. The year 1912 brought us playwright Eugene Ionesco. In 1924, we have a quartet of people celebrated the Council: Actress Lauren Bacall, James Baldwin netted novelists and Truman Capote and Brando himself. A record harvest in 1936, arrived, among them Richard Bach Seagull fame, Dick Cavett, actor Keir Dullea

and Dennis Hopper and French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. Singer-songwriter James Taylor was born in 1948, and so was Peggy Fleming, Figure Skating Champion.

Rats have a large capacity for aggressive fall on a task. You take pleasure to make money, and love affairs with equal verve. If you are lucky enough to witness the charming Council, the pursuit of life will be rewarded, you will always ensure a great show at a very low price.
