Do's and Don'ts of using Chopsticks (Japanese Manners)

Chopsticks or O-hashi in Japanese are used to eat most kinds of food or cuisine. Have you ever tried or enjoyed eating japanese dishes using chopsticks? Do you know that there are rules in using this utensil? Okay, so if you aren’t well-versed in using this, we will give you some of the most important rules to remember when dining using chopsticks.

DO’s



* Hold your chopsticks towards their end, not in the middle nor the front third.
* When you are done eating, or not using your chopsticks, lay them down in front of you with the tips to left.
* If you have already eaten with your chopsticks, use the opposite end to take food from a shared plate.
* You can share your chopsticks with someone you know (not with strangers) just as long as you ask for their permission before taking them.

DON’Ts

* Saguri-bashi – Sorting or choosing the content of a dish should not be done using your chopstick
* Mayoi-bashi – Wandering your chopsticks to choose which food you will eat is a No-no to japanese. I’m sure you don’t want to be tagged as a greedy person, so avoid doing this.
* Sashi-bashi – Regardless of how tricky or hard it is to get the food using chopsticks, do not use it as a fork to stick or so to speak stab your food in.
* Neburi-bashi – Placing inside the mouth or licking your chopsticks is an impolite gesture by the Japanese. Avoid doing this too.
* Yose-bashi – Remember that chopsticks are made to pick-up food. Do not use it to pull plates or bowls.
* Tate-bashi or Hotoke-bashi – Do not place your chopsticks vertically on the rice if you want to stop for a while from eating. Doing so reminds them of of a beloved one that passed away and could really offend them.

I have to tell you I can not sleep, and I am really scared tonight.

After listening to Rachel Maddow's show tonight...We are in it very deep. We have a Covid 19 raging out of control with so many ignorant people getting and spreading the virus. Another four years of Trump...if he does nothing, could end up killing Millions and Millions of people in this country.

Trump's mind is going..as we know from several major examples... and how will he be in another FOUR YEARS? He and the Republican party will strip the government and bail... more than likely. I ready today that the Head of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg has become even more rich. The Republicans would KILL THIS NATION to be richer... and that's exactly what is happening... maybe Putin has a hand in it, because the Republicans will take help where ever they can get it to stay in power.

Imagine it, having a mad man, out of his freaking mind, with possession of the Nuclear Launch Codes... (or did i read that the Military may have taken control of those?)

I wonder about this... but in our history, there have been traitors. Benedict Arnold is a great example. (He will only be second to Trump , I am betting by the time this is long over and History is written.) Will the Republicans in with Trump be treated as Traitors to the US Constitution and to our country? I am sure their will be trials... as there were after Nuremberg. I don't expect firing squads but long Prison terms would be nice.

Still.. I am scared they will find a way to cheat.. they are already starting their propaganda in the various Social Media corners. The Post office has now slowed down because of the people Trump has put in place in the upper echelons of the Postal Service affecting millions of Mail In ballots.

He wants people to stand in long, long lines to vote or get discouraged and to not vote. Limiting Postal Drop boxes... They have the power and will use it to disrupt and corrupt this next election. Trump is encouraging them to do so... he doesn't want to go to prison, he wants to be MOB BOSS of this Country... he wants to be the big strong leader, except his mind is going...

Waiting for November will be hell... but if the results fall in the wrong way, we will BE LIVING IN A TRUE HELL.

I am not sure I will be able to sleep tonight and its a long fucking way to November.
