Accepting 'NO'

It is painful and or saddening when we hear the word no in circumstances we were eagerly expecting to hear YES.

HOWEVER, we should take that NO as an upliftment depending on the circumstances.

That No could be to save your happiness, your health, your kids, your family, your home, your job, your life.

No is seemingly a negative WORD in many instances. But this same no has preserved many lives and overall well being and situations of life.

So learn to embrace this no depending on how it is used on you.

Excessive packaging... another pet peeve of mine!

This one is easy to follow.
Packages designed in such a way the product often breaks getting out of the box/wrapping.
I understand the purpose of tamper-proof packaging, but some products need special tools to get them out of their protective, heat fused blister or clam-shell packing.

I'm opening a pack of pens that required scissors to get them out.

I've been known to do other things...

Simple concept... I've been known to do other things when blogging. It's called multitasking. Maybe you have tried this too! In my last blog, a member was irritated that I wasn't able to quickly respond to their comment. Actually, It was after dinner and I was doing other things that included cat napping. Maybe I should leave messages that I'm away from the computer. No, that wouldn't be accurate as I was at the computer but my eyes were closed.

I'm so guilty of surfing, online shopping or replying to emails when I blog.


I called someone and they didn't answer the phone, so I left a message. After leaving the message, I went to do something else. On occasion, I've actually called another person right after that... and it's happened that the first person will return my call/message and complain that I wasn't 'standing by' for their return call. They had to leave me a message to call them.

Life goes on... I don't want to admit it, but the cellphone sometimes accompanies my trips to the toilet. Oh, I just admitted it.

I'm currently doing a bathroom remodel and met the client last week to go over details. He asked that a small cabinet be added next to the toilet so he can work when he poops. My response was "No problem, the cabinet is in the layout."

I was in a meeting with clients when a text message came through from another client who was shopping for a refrigerator and ready to make the purchase at that moment. He expected an instant reply from me.

Unless I take the job in a 911 emergency call center, there's a good chance I'll be doing more than one thing at a time.

So I gained weight

I work from home since Covid started, kitchen is just right beside my working space. I don't run out of snacks and drinks while I'm working.

I've been trying to lose some weight since the beginning of this year but during Ramadan month, I cooked a lot and plenty of food in every gatherings I went to.
currently weighs 127 lbs, I want to shed 15- 20lbs, I'm 5'2' and was 110lb before Covid. I want to go back to that.

I'm aiming to lose 5 lbs/week, might be too much but it's a challenge, I think I can do it.

notes.
5/4/22 18:28 = 127 lbs ( after BBQ party, 1.5 blueberry donuts and 1 cup of cappuccino)

Gift giving this holiday season...

The top of my list is a granddaughter, 10 years old and more toys and gadgets than any child could need. Mentioning the perplexity of the situation to a lunch friend, some woman (in a group with others) who overheard me said "Get her a gift card. That solves all your problems"

I thought, it's a twist to someone (me) formally known as 'Uncle Cash'

My daughter suggests food and to get her a BurgerFi gift card.
I usually pass one of their restaurants on weekend travels and they have a bonus program for a limited time of a $5 kickback for every $25 in gift card purchases.

One less gift to think about.

So finally... historic win of the farmers protesting for 378 days...

The joker had to agree to their demands. The government sent the official letter to the five member committee constituted by the SKM (a body of the farmers). The farmers are still apprehensive whether the government would implement the written submissions. So they have called off the agitation suspending the movement. They will take stock of the developments on 21st. of January and review the decision before taking the final call of ending the movement.

There is a very famous Proverb in Bengali Language ...

"Je Randhe , Se Chul O Bandhe.."

Which literally means , "Who can cook , can do hairdressing too.." ...
Meaning ,
If someone has specialised on a specific skill , does not mean that they could not venture into other different types of talents ... hmmm

Here we have one recent example to prove this point TRUE !! wow

The Nobel Laureate Economist Mr. Abhijit Vinayak Banerjee is cooking just like any ordinary family man !!! thumbs up
