Interesting fact about indian culture

Many Indian wives will never say their husband’s name aloud, as it is a sign of disrespect. When addressing him, the wife will use several indirect references, such as “ji” or “look here” or “hello,” or even refer to him as the father of her child.f

Unconditional Love

"Many are called but few are chosen"

It takes some maturity, competence and security when facing terminally ill patient.

I am happy that my father has no pain this time.....and I can sleep now.

Goodnight.

Sunday Morning Coming Down

Can a first cousin, once removed, be attached again? If so, I want to exhume his body. Just to tell him about the scandalous way in which his daughter and her married-on family left my house after I had to reprimand them (the twin brothers) for settling an argument in my front garden during the early hours of the morning. But I don’t feel like talking about them now.very mad

My father phoned very early this morning to inform me that he‘s not feeling well and won’t be having lunch with us, so I won’t be going either. I stayed in bed until a short while ago. And while I was in bed, my guests left without a thank you or a good bye. Now they are gone and I have to continue living next to my neighbors… but I said I don’t want to talk about them.doh

Anyway, my father skipped lunch two weeks ago as well and when I called on him that afternoon he was not in. His neighbor apparently knew something I did not know; for he made a discreet phone call, and me old man arrived some ten minutes later. And he could not wait for me to depart. I think he’s got a new girlfriend.grin

This leaves me with a dilemma. What do I eat today? I have been emptying my freezer because I’m going to shoot my yearly kudu shortly. I’ll be leaving on Thursday but I won’t be away for long, I normally go for two weeks, but I have a medical check-up scheduled for the 7th. Maybe I can have it postponed for a few days.dunno

I’m not fond of chicken and I don’t eat burgers, so KFC and McDonald are out. I depleted my steaks last night and only have a few pork chops left in the freezer. Not exactly my favorite food, but they are quick to prepare. I’m going to try my new stick free pan today. There should be some salads left over from last night.idea

At least my far-off cousin makes a decent potato salad... Damn it, man! How many time must I say that I don't want to talk about them.frustrated

I wish you all a grand Sunday. Yea, you too!wave

The Famdamily again

A cousin, twice removed (my grandfather was her great-great-grandfather), who now lives a thousand miles from here, called me the other day. She asked if they (her husband and three children) could spend a few days with me when they visit Cape Town during the school holidays. I am very fond of her, so naturally, I said yes.cheering

Then came the second request. Will it be a problem if her husband’s twin brother comes along? I started seeing problems. He is also married with three children. I already have misgivings about her husband and if I have to put up with a look-alike as well, it was not something to look forward to. After a moment of doubt, I reluctantly agreed.uh oh

But it was still not the end. They will be coming to Cape Town by bus, she explained, and will need transportation. It will be ‘very much appreciated’ if they could use my car while they are here. I made such a mistake before; I was certainly not going to do it again. I suppose I could have offered them the use of my dilapidated one-ton pick-up truck, but I curtly refused the request. She sounded a bit disappointed but promised to make another plan.doh

Well, a plan they made. I expected them on Monday but they arrived out of the blue earlier today in two shiny white Japanese cars. The terrible twins, their spouses and six children between them, their ages ranging from two to eleven. Mercifully, they will be leaving for another family member on Tuesday or Wednesday. I’m hoping for Tuesday rather than Wednesday.hmmm

Six little angels.devil

They have only been here for only a few hours and already I’m up the bend. I politely excused myself with the story that I have important work to do and withdrew upstairs to my playroom. The kids are up and down the wooden staircase driving me mad. I will have to stop it before I go completely nuts. I wonder if one can buy nerve gas at the pharmacy.idea

Enjoy your weekend; I won’t have the opportunity to do that.doh

MAN 'OH' PAUSE....

Last night my best woman friend tells me she asked her husband for a divorce after 17 years. She is a very athletic woman who runs 50 mile races, so being in her early 50's she has starting the process of menopause. We use to discuss it a lot because usually women get it by the time they're 51. And many now are getting it younger and younger. I know a woman 38 is going through it now. But my friend never got it and didn't show any signs, we chalked it up to her extreme physical fitness.

I've experienced many women getting divorced in the 45-49 age group, even celebrities who have been together for years, but always around that age number. It appears to me that woman (who never forget anything)bring all the negative items from the beginning of the relationship to the forefront. The man is overwhelmed he doesn't know what's wrong, turn right, turn left, he is veryconfused My brother in law who has the patience of a saint said to me that he couldn't live with my sister anymore as she was going through menopause. I told him to hang in there it will get better and explained in a little more detail the hormonal imbalance that was occurring. He survived, because he is a saint. ALL others have succumbed to this natural event.

The part that disturbs me (and I'm a victim of this as well) is lack of knowledge about what is occurring in the body of the woman. Most of us realize that we may get moody or annoyed when we're tired or hungry, but changing the chemical balance inside our bodies is a whole new dilemma. One hundred years ago (in America) the average age of a woman was 48. Ah just in time before the crisis unfolds..now with the lifespan much longer man gets to see it all.. This is the time that man needs to use but two phrases, YES DEAR, AND I UNDERSTAND.....chances increase substantially.

I had another friend who use to carry her portable fan everywhere and used it all the time..(hot flashes)

another woman had to change her PJ's three times a night they were totally soaked......this is a major major change and many not as much a change of life as for many relationships a change to death....almost every pharmaceutical company is working on a drug to relieve and reduce the symptoms but like alzheimers the pathologies are almost unique to every body.....so once again another place where education would be most helpful.....oh by the way men also experience this hormonal change and it's called andropause....

We are bound together

This is always a good memories for me as time goes by.daisy

I was born in one summer. as mom had a weak body, I was a premature infant. Very different from my sister's early stage(she had a full-time maid for 5 yrs).I was brought up by my dad. So after 42 days, when mom went to work,I was taken by dad to my nursery every day. As they realized that an intimate family relationship should be came from their own emotion payments... wink

The vehicle of us was dad's bike which was 28 inche, "blue Ridge" brand with black color. As I was too small to sit up at that moment, Dad prepared a small leather suitcase( removed the lid )as my cradle which was tied on the backseat of his bike and let me sleep inside.It was really an adventure, short trip for us, the law of traffic not allowed bike carrying a person in the street, a traffic police did find me one day. A tiny baby in the suitcase!wow There was no doubt dad had to attend a short-term traffic law courses at weekends before the police retuned his bike to him. But how could we do next? Dad had to choose another small road which no cop there and I was still on his bike. hmmm

Luckily it was not a long distance between home and their plant,then I could sit up before the winter came. A small bamboo weaving chair was installed on the tripod of the bike.I sat on in front safe and comfortble.just liked a chicken under the wings of dad.I could look forward and both sides freely.My eyes more sharper than dad at that time, always alerted dad to get off the bike before the cop saw us.laugh As time passed by, the small bamboo chair was replaced to a small self-made wooden pad to let my feet freed from that chair,later on I was big enough to sit on the tripod directly. Dad continued taking me to my kindergarten with his bike every day. We are trinity looked like. yay

I remember there were two bells on the handlebar which brought me lots of fun; The left one was a single bell which sounded dull and weak,the right one was a double bell which sounded loud and strong. I was delighted to rang them,if not in urgent,I rang the left one,the right one was for those who was hard of hearing person. So I was always busy with the two bells. And then the dynamo-powered lamp on his bike was a magic to me ... banana

After many years from now, each time when I was riding on my bike outside,these sweet memories are vivied again; How he protected me from falling down when teached me riding bike. How the first time he guided me riding out in the street... Now my dad are getting older , it's time for me to accompany with him in his journey of life no matter what difficulty it would, We are two persons family which was bounded not only blood but also emotion which we are created years ago. love

Dad, please accept my hugs and kisses in this special Father's day once more. I love you, Dad ! teddybear

Thanks for reading,with my best regards to you! hug wave

What A Train Smash

The rugby is over, my team lost and my friends have gone home. I’m too tired for another glass of wine but not tired enough for going to bed.dunno

It was not a planned evening. Everybody just rocked up at more or less the same time with their cool boxes. Why do I smell a conspiracy? But it was a great evening. We (the men) packed a fire and parked in front of the TV to watch the first game. And what good rugby it was.thumbs up

Their wives surprised us. Between the two games, we were treated on crispy barbequed muttonchops and salads. So good that we missed the first 30 minutes of the game we really wanted to see.wow

My supply of white wine took a good dent before they left but while we watched the remainder of the second game, the dear ladies cleaned my kitchen again. I wish I had the presence of mind to see if they wore their shoes. I don’t think any were pregnant. We’re too old for that.doh

And now they’re gone and I sit here alone and wonder if I should pour another glass of wine or go to bed. My empty bed does not sound very interesting at the moment, so I guess the glass of wine is going to win after all.giggle

Power of your thoughts

If you were to become aware of the only one mental dynamic, the most important one to know would be the relationship between your thinking and the way you feel. it's important to realize that you are constantly thinking. Thinking is like breathing, unless you think about it, you don't realize you're doing it. Unlike breathing, however, forgetting that you are thinking can cause some serious problems haha in your life such as in happiness, anger, inner conflicts, and stress. The reason this is true is that your thinking will always come back to you as a feeling. There is a point-to-point relationship. try getting angry without an angry thought, or sad without a sad thought or jealous without thoughts of jealousy. You can't do it. you must first have a thought that produces that feeling. Unhappiness doesn't and can't exist on its own. Remind yourself that its your thinking that is negative not your life.
