RE: Our young - why no speak?

It's not easy to communicate with anyone in the west while you live in China but you could have sent gifts or letter by the post I suppose. But Vikings is right, buy a smartphone and have them teach you how to use it. Putting them in charge will encourage a new dynamic between you and the kids.

RE: "BAD BOYS"

RE: In a world where you can be anything - be kind

Glad you like that quote.

RE: I have power!

YAY.

RE: The downfall of America's dad

Palm. For best comment. How true that is.

RE: Faux England.

LOL, ask google Ash. Be prepared to blush.

RE: When the going gets tough

You might get a good OOB.

RE: When the going gets tough

I think you are right Palm, just hit the road and see where it takes you.

RE: U.S. vs Canadian Police

Not that I'm judging the Americans, lord knows we have worse problems in certain areas. But I am concerned that the world is moving backward with nationalisation becoming the mainstream in the US and the EU because you must admit parts of Europe have become emboldened by Donald Trump and he still has 3 years left in office.

Anyway I just figured I should add that.

RE: U.S. vs Canadian Police

Yes I agree with you and have a HBO video of that dreadful incident in Charleville.

RE: In a world where you can be anything - be kind

From a little gift book:

Kindness is more important than wisdom, and recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom. -- Theodore Isaac Rubin

More on google from Theodore Isaac Rubin

Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.

The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.

RE: In a world where you can be anything - be kind

And GG you take care of yourself if you need more operations.

RE: In a world where you can be anything - be kind

It would be nice to read at least one Mercedes.

RE: In a world where you can be anything - be kind

No blogs Mercedes? I went looking because I wanted to read yours after realising that I've seen none of your blogs.

RE: Faux England.

we = west societies

RE: Faux England.

Also I love Japanese fashion, the girls are very creative and the boys are great popstars.

RE: In a world where you can be anything - be kind

Such a nice blog.

RE: Faux England.

Japan's education system is one of the best in the world. Let me look for a meme on my Google+ account, you will love it.

By far the biggest problem is greed and a competitive spirit, where they walk over friends and family, in the Western world in general. The more money they get the more greedy they become, where Japan is different (or it was) in that they live modestly and save for retirement instead of flaunting their wealth.

RE: Our young - why no speak?

Thanks Daniela.

For example, my ex's kids told me when they began experimenting with drugs. They didn't tell their parents, nor did I say a word. There's nothing wrong with smoking weed but one doesn't know where it can lead, so I told them that if they get caught, and get a criminal record, they won't be allowed to travel to many countries in the world. Both stopped immediately and one is working in the US and the other, like you, is teaching young students in China.

RE: Our young - why no speak?

The best way to handle this is to stop looking at them. Make a concerted effort to look elsewhere in the room. The kids don't know you and they are summing you up which they should be encouraged to do. When I first met my ex's kids I ignored them as if they weren't there, it didnt take long for them to warm up to me. Another thing, I never told them what to do and today they tell me secrets that they won't tell their parents because they know I won't judge them.

RE: Psychological warfare!

Good blog, I'd never heard of gaslighting before. And believe me on another site I was trolled relentlessly and hated for reasons beyond my control, mainly because one particular member couldn't take rejection. Then jealousy is right behind everything because I am a success while the others are just floating around with big mouths and no knowledge on to make a comfortable monthly living.

RE: Emotional investment

Good comment Daniela.

RE: Emotional investment

The right one has not yet crossed my path. Although I've had wonderful men in my life, our general outlook was too different to remain together forever. But generally I am the exception to the rule, it would take a special man to want to live with me as I don't believe that marriage is a good institution.

RE: Emotional investment

Beep. Wrong again.

RE: Emotional investment

oops typo

Love will find you at the RIGHT time

RE: Emotional investment

Here's the truth, if you look you will not find. Love will find you are the RIGHT time, in the meantime you may just be getting in your own way.

RE: Las Vegas Trip

The taxi driver is a she, and she did win big amounts on the machines, twice. I believe her. But you see, they never tell us about the losses.

RE: One more blog....for men

I have no problem with the dishes, just don't ask me to cook. Men make better chefs anyway.

RE: Las Vegas Trip

I was told by a taxi driver that we should go to the casino after 4am and no later than breakfast. Now there's no more money to gamble because our new project has taken it all.
