RE: Pt 1 Giving MEN Re think!

Hi Wind!

Love it! You're funny!

RE: Good Manners.

Catfoot

Of course I'd be able to devour ALL that cupcakes ALL by myself!

Hmmmm..... Come to think of it, you might be right. There's a high chance that Hans has hacked those Face Puzzles scores coz you just can't possibly score the highest few times in a row, can you?!?!?

P.S Psstttt Catfoot, ok, ok, I'll share one cupcake with you since I made so many unrelated comments on your blog

RE: Good Manners.

Fruity

We just get Hans to buy 20 cupcakes. Easier to remember, that number instead of 12

However, your share would still remain 3 though

RE: Good Manners.

Hans!!!! Wow

Very very impressive high scores you've got there! 99,999,999 all of them!

If I'm somewhere nearby, you'd have to buy me cupcakes to celebrate. Not just 1 but 9 cupcakes!!

RE: Good Manners.

BC I totally agree with you there Parents are greatly to be blamed nowadays for being over-protective towards their kids!

Hans

RE: Good Manners.

He definitely is poetic, Catfoot

He quoted Yeats to me once, in the beginning of our relationship.... 'Tread softly because you tread on my dreams'

Quoted 'If' by Rudyard Kipling when I asked him why is he still doing what he's doing at this age.

Several times he quoted a few chapters from 'The Little Prince' to me in order for me to understand him better.

However, I need to confess to you Catfoot, all these are totally new to me coz I never learn all these in school or ever interested in Poe, Yeats, D.H Lawrence and what have you not But because of Bob, I need to read up all these in order to get to know him more

He's a keeper and I'll not let him go

RE: Good Manners.

I once told Bobikins the mistake I made during a heavy downpour. I decided to walk home without any umbrella and was wearing, yup, you guess it right...a white T-shirt!!

He immediately asked me to stop giving anymore details lest his imagination runs wild like 'a wild mustang in a prairie'! Too cute, he is

RE: Good Manners.

Catfoot

Bob or Bobikins ( coined by my twinny Wallops ) as he is affectionately known here in the blogs, is my current someone special

He's a 64 year-old Belgian, never been married, no kids but regards his 2 nieces as his, takes care of his 87 year-old dad and I love him to bits!

RE: Good Manners.

I just love the rain! The heavier the better!

I love playing in the rain too, just have to remember not to wear any white t-shirt while doing that

RE: Good Manners.

Hi Usha!

RE: Good Manners.

Ooohhh Angel! You're too funny!

Got dog!!

RE: Good Manners.

Oooohhhhhhhh Catfoot, I cannot agree more!! I try to instill on my kids good manners ever since they were very young. Always tell them that it's completely ok if they are not the smartest students at school or straight As students BUT they must possess good manners that I believe will carry them a long long way throughout their life

The Chinese has a saying ( loosely translated here ) when we come across rudeness or bad manners, 'No Teachings At Home' or like a Chinese friend of mine would love to say, " Father Mother never teach in the house!!"

That's why, I always warn my kids this, "Don't ever let me hear that I never teach you guys how to behave in a good way. If it ever come back to my ears that you have bad manners, you better watch out!"

Thankfully, my kids take my threat seriously. How I know? Simple, I checked with my friends!

RE: Ankle update

Ken, after recovery, those feet definitely need a good pedicure

Get well soon Ken

Got dog!

P.S Toes are getting better!

A Grandma's Unconditional Love

GG, I too know few of those people who cooked without using or adhere to any form of measurements and they are the best cook ever!

A Grandma's Unconditional Love

GG, these are for you!



Hope you are feeling good and well

A Grandma's Unconditional Love

Ooohhhhhh GG, you too had experienced grandma's love, just like me!

What I can tell you is that, their love is definitely different from the parents'. Even though the father of my kids and I are estranged now, I still never fail to bring our kids to visit his parents regularly.

They really dote on the kids and I love just that. I would not let the adult's problems hinder anything between them.

Btw, did you get to learn how to make those yummy apple pies?? Did your grandma pass down any secret recipes to you?

A Grandma's Unconditional Love

Fruity, did you get the chance to know them before that?

Hope your leg gets back to normal as soon as possible

A Grandma's Unconditional Love

Thanks Welela

The 5 days were very well spent indeed. I sometimes wished she could speak again, even to nag me incessantly like she used to do.......

A Grandma's Unconditional Love

Oh Kal! I forgot these for you! Ampun!!

A Grandma's Unconditional Love

Kal, I never got the chance to be with my parents but I guess I didn't miss much anyway

Now, staying at my mom's even for just 5 days, I couldn't wait to get back to my own house!!

Kal, when I see any grandparents with their cucu ( grandchildren ), I'd get teary-eyed, reminiscing those good old memories with mine.

Toes no longer hurt but no longer attractive too.....

RE: waiting for you

Aaahhhhhh......I feel the same too............but towards my Bobikins

A Grandma's Unconditional Love

Hans

I know how it feels

I don't know my lineage at all!

I'm only aware that my great grandparents ( both sides ) were from the Fujian province in China. That's all I know. I do know we have some living relatives back there coz my great grandma used to pay them yearly visits back in the 80's.

Again, why haven't we got any FB then?!?!? It would be so much easier to track those distant relatives but on the other hand, it would be difficult to get rid of those unwanted ones!!

KNenagh

Too bad I can't spend more time with her coz of the distance- 2 1/2 hour train ride. I'd try to visit her more often now coz my mom told me that she might not last for very much longer...

My toes no longer hurt, problem now is that they look really awful with the nails so short!

A Grandma's Unconditional Love

Hans

Were you parents from Austria originally? Did you go back since? Are there anymore living relatives that you know of? Sorry if i sound like an IRS interrogator!
Too bad they haven't got FB way back then, eh??

No tow truck Hans, get me a bullock cart instead! Seriously, you still can get them here in certain parts of Malaysia

Pssttttt..you bet I did! I added a few more to my already impressive expansive 'swearing' vocabulary. Oh! And in few different languages toooo!

A Grandma's Unconditional Love

Thanks Caly!

I love them too. Grandma still loves having her pic taken even at this age!

You too, have a great day

A Grandma's Unconditional Love

I'd be forever indebted to both of my grandparents... Never really missed my parents coz I got so much love from them

Toes are getting better now. Visited the doctor again this morning. Thanks Usha!

RE: One day !!
