All the condo buildings in my development decided to do renovations around the same time. More than 2 months of pressure cleaning, caulking and painting. New hall lights last week and now we are waiting for the unit numbers to be the icing on the cake.
For them to repaint the doors, they asked all residents to leave their units unlocked and the doors partly opened. Yeah, I made it a point to be home.
The one thing they did was pull off the foam weather strip I added before a hurricane came through 2 years ago so, they can seal the wood. I've got new stripping and waiting for a weekend when I have no specific plans to do the job.
In the mean time, you can see daylight through the edges of the door and jamb.
A few weeks ago, I noticed a small Cucaracha running across the kitchen floor and knocked him out with a spray of window cleaner. Days later there were a few tiny ones on the counter... they met with the same fate. That means war and using some non-aerosol bug spray I went around the cabinets before leaving for the day, with the windows open to air the place out.
All was quiet until until one morning when another Cucaracha came through the crack in the front door. It was a short visit that ended with a shoe burial.
The weatherman promised a cool windy weekend with no rain so maybe I'll actually do the work and make an end to mas Cucarachas.

Depending on the font or if you are printing or writing cursive the letter "W" usually has a different appearance (pointed bottom or rounded bottom) but always has the same sound.
The word plywood in an English speaking country is pronounced as it's spelled... (with a double-you)
However, in some Scandinavian countries it's pronounced ply-vood with a heavy 'V' sound.

I ask myself what's correct W? Double 'you' or double 'vee'
Is it UU or VV a question I've been asking myself.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"Suicide Hotline... please hold"

I was reading a bunch of comments for and against the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn a law that's been around nearly 50 years and of the comments, one asked 'what's next?' What other laws do they want to overturn?

Several were aimed at Clarence Thomas, where one reader stated: "He’s been quiet for 30 years, now he’s become unleashed, like the Frankenstein monster, and wants to legislate from the bench. Character always reveals itself, eventually." (20 likes, 0 dislikes)

There's more: "Wonder why Uncle Clarence is not revisiting the Loving case ?
Loving v. Virginia a Supreme Court case that struck down state laws banning interracial marriage in the United States." (29 likes, 6 dislikes)
Another similar comment: "I wonder when Thomas will suggest overturning Loving vs. Virginia? Now that will be ironic!!" (14 likes, 3 dislikes)

It looks like Clarence isn't very popular this week.

Last time they were to oust the Clinton thing and so they installed the corrupt software. They knew that this software has bugs but they had to install it.

Likewise they had to make another wrong choice because they were to get rid of the corrupt software. They hardly had any other option.

And hopefully someday they would be provided with a better choice.
how and when?

That might lead the world to the 3rd. World War.
And the dreamy middle class awakens on a fateful morning to see the devastation with the eyes widely opened.
