As the hustle and bustle of the festive season approaches, I ve noticed alot of friends , and family have different parts of the season they enjoy. I know friends who enjoy giving to the less fortunate, and I have some friends who enjoy the family gatherings. And we all know someone who couldn t be bothered getting into the Christmas spirit,
Myself I enjoy seeing people ,whether it be out shopping , or chatting with a neighbor in good spirits,
And oh yes I am rather fond of the christmas baking, and who doesn t love the look in the eye of a little one, when Santa Claus
is mentioned
Whats your favorite part of the Christmas season,
Today is Friday, seems the dreaded apocalypse has come a few millennia earlier than expected:-
Dr. Sassypants restricted me to one coffee a day (she is right but the suffering is beyond anything Ive ever experienced)
Bloggers have left in droves, I'm sad to see them go, its like the life support machine has been switched off here, The inmates now run the asylum.
USA now involved in Syria again, Threats to bomb North Korea.
A 3 foot tall Chinese person blatantly advertising on the blogs and forums.
On the bright side its warm and sunny here In Spain, My pool is being filled right now, bring on Summer!
Is anyone out there?, even a zombie will do.
Hello guys.
Just want to share some thoughts about ageism, that keeps on coming back and forth in my mind since 4 days.
There's been an uproar lately with the launch of dating apps, that would popped up on our widow, so not bad to be relieved from curiousity, and communicating with people all over the world is beneficial too, just travelling around the world with less expenses.lol
Building a profile sounds like..I have to attract people on here. Here comes the age range..50 to 60 only, I don't need a father, as nobody could replace my father. Needs a caregiver? I could be, just hire me then. I did not realized I feed ageism, and only a step, I could be counted as member of the club.
men of 70's could beat those on 20's when it comes to stamina and women as well. So age range should be omitted to open the dating pool...
and don't we all want more choices???::peace:
online today!
Murkuns will soon celebrate the Day that exemplifies them as a a people - BLACK FRIDAY!
I share here a nostalgic look back to a simpler, more quaint time - when the seeds of the Celebration were sown, and how it has blossomed into the purest expression of what is truly Murkun...
...Unvarnished aggression and naked greed
Here are some tips for enjoying the Day...
1) Arrive Early (assuming you've not done so a week ago.)
This serves two purposes.
Living in an E-Z Up tent for a week outside one's targeted mall ensures one a pole position for grabbing the best stuff China has to offer.
Use that week to plot one's strategery: Observe where pallets of the best Chinese stuff will be located; lay out the most direct route to such locations; note which displays might be overturned to slow the competition
2) Prepare Mentally.
Ruthless Greed is the essence of the Day.
Sentimentality or pity may cost one a primo plasma TV. Be prepared to slug it out with kids & pregnant women.
Don't be fooled by such people
The ill-bred brats are ruthless as hell - and the li'l b@stards run fast.
The cunning bltches pad their bellies to gain a sympathy advantage in the mêlée.
Assuming they ARE women, of course
Do NOT let misplaced decency deny you the Chinese stuff you DESERVE
- DON'T BE A SAP!!!!
3) Prepare Physically. Eat Properly prior to the Day...
AVOID foods that will slow one down or inhibit one's belligerence
Turkey
- It's loaded with L-Tryptophan
Avoid it like STD!
High Carbo Comfort Foods
- Bread dressing & potatoes make one feel, well, COMFY
'Nuff said.
EAT foods such as...
Blood Raw Red Meat. Better yet - Raw Liver
This stimulates aggression and inures one to the sight of blood...so one won't be put off bloodying the sum'bltch grabbing away one's microwave
Caffeinated Beverages raise energy levels; lacing them with Hard Likker stifles inhibition and boosts belligerence...
..
...
I trust these tips will enhance your enjoyment of this Most Murkun Day Of The Year.
Happy Black Friday, Y'all
Battle grounds are levelled. Fear and uncertainty equally distributed throughout the globe.
There are lots of people who are struggling with the current situation. People who earned a daily living. My heart is heavy because of a suicide I heard today. Not anyone I know. Nevertheless, I felt like crying.
Should we give up?
Should we lose hope?
Times may be bad. Work will be hard to come by.
But we shall overcome.
It's not a time to count our blessings. It's a time to be a blessing in some way.
We'll walk hand in hand some day.
Deep in my heart, I do believe.
We shall overcome.
Stay safe. !
1. If I’m asked how long it took me to drive from A to B, I don’t deduct 20% off the journey time before I give my answer.
2. If another driver makes a mistake, causing me to brake in order to avoid colliding with them, I don’t tend to press my horn for ten seconds, start waving my arms about, or yell out every obscenity I know.
3. I don’t make excuses for the fact that I didn’t pass my driving test on the first attempt.
4. If I am late in identifying my exit from a roundabout, or find that I am in the wrong lane, I usually just go round it again, rather than veer across the path of those who are not in the wrong lane.
5. Despite driving for a living for most of my working life, I make no claim to be particularly good at it.
6. I don’t know what a Lamborghini looks like, and although I can tell a BMW by its grill, I wouldn’t have a clue what model it was.
7. I would never ever consider having a personalised number plate. I can live with not being a real man if it comes at the price of being a proper wanker.
8. On the three occasions I have been fined for speeding, I didn’t complain about it with pride.
Once again, I didn't listen to the "little voice in my head", which told me to prepare individual presents for my workmates. I didn't do this, as I think making it individual is too personal, and I do this only for friends and family.
My last night at work before Christmas, was the 17 December. I like the team I'm working with, so same as the year before, I prepared a "thank you present" this time a crate of 5 kg clementine and about 1.5 kg small chocolates for the whole team. I bought all this with my own money.
The muslim guy working the evening shift said he doesn't eat sweets, but took a few clementine before leaving, that was ok. I told him that the present was for everyone. On the morning of 18/12, before going home, I presented the present to the morning staff... people who I've been working with for almost 2 years. They were happy and thanked me.
I returned to work on the 26, and everything was gone, even the presents we got from the families of the people we take care of. Last year, there was still some available, even until the new year.
On Monday night, first night in the new year, one of my workmates for almost 2 years, who is also one of the women who received the Xmas gift, told me that on the morning of the 19/12, there was nothing left of my present to them, but 2 others had had their boxes filled with clementines.
Tuesday morning, before leaving work, I asked another long time workmate, if she had gotten anything from the present, she replied "no", but 2 others were eating lots of clementines on the days after I had left the present.
This pi$$ed me off, made me upset and very, very angry, to the point that, not even listening to a book on the way home (I usually do this to and from work) calmed me down. I had breakfast, showered, went to bed, but couldn't sleep, I was crying, I kept thinking of what those 2 young muslim men had done. As they were working yesterday afternoon, I felt like instead of sleeping, I'd go back to work and confront about their behaviour.
Not wanting to cause problems, as I know I would have done, being as angry as I was (If i cry when I'm angry, it means I've reached, or am almost to "the point of no return"). I called and talked to one of my bosses, who calmed me down and I was able to sleep, but she said when I talk to the 2 men, to do it in a calm way, and say it wasn't nice of them, to do what they had done.
Some days before Xmas, I was talking to those 2 men and they said they don't celebrate Xmas, as it isn't part of their religion or culture.
My point with this blog is, why the hell did they eat and or even take home all of what I had left as a Xmas present for everyone...9 including then both. I've been working with the team for almost 2 years, 1 of those men started working with us 4, the other 2 months ago, which is also the same amount if time they've been working in the nursing home.... You don't celebrate Xmas, but your should still have something called a conscience, and respect for others and their cultures.
I'm not sure if I'll see them the 2 nights I'm working next week, but 1 thing is for sure, even if I'm off duty when they're working, I'm going to go to work and have a serious conversation with them about this. Not only that, I'l tell then that before their ramadan begins, they have to buy a big cake for the team. I'm not going to threaten them, just say it in a nice friendly way, whilst hiding the "poison" behind my smiles.
