Dearest Members... It had to happen someday and here we are -- with me sitting here devoid of all inspiration for a quick brief editorial... So, why not try my hand at some interesting bits and pieces of information?! There we go now...
Did Sigmund Freud use narcotics? Freud not only used cocaine, he recommended it for its "gorgeous excitement" in a paper paid for by drug companies that used it in their products. In later life, he had seen enough negative evidence to turn up his nose at the white powder, but he continued to smoke 20 cigars a day until the day he died of oral cancer. (source: www.straightdope.com )
Freud and his sister Anna Freud married the brother and sister Eli and Martha Bernays. Eli and Anna's son, Edward Bernays, was thus Freud's nephew twice over. Freud was also Edward’s mother’s brother, and his aunt Martha’s husband. (source: www.nytimes.com )... I wonder if this is what they mean when they talk about a “complex?”... izbul |

BRINGER OF BAD LUCKA woman's husband has been slipping in and out of a coma for several months and she stayed by his bedside every single day. Once, when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer and whispered:
to slip
=
kaymak...
to slip in
=
(normalde) çaktırmadan
girmek...
to slip out
=
(normalde) sıvışmak,
çaktırmadan tüymek...
to slip in and out of a coma
=
(deyim) durmadan komaya
girip çıkıyordu...
once
=
bir keresinde...
when he came to
=
ayılınca...
to whisper

fısıldamak...
DİKKAT :
"bringer" sözcüğünü genel anlamda "getiren, getirici" olarak
kullanamazsınız: Özel bir sözcüktür: The bringer of justice, the bringer
of war... gibi.
