Cos boys don’t hit girls!

Cos boys don’t hit girls!

"Why are you crying?"
Mary slapped me on my face here!
She lost in 'catching'!

"Did you hit her back?"
Cannot! She will surely cry!
Poor boy, my 'big' boy!

The nanny related this to the boy’s amused mother.

I like the quotes below.

****

  1. A REAL MAN never hurts a woman. Be very careful when you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. THE WOMAN came out of a man’s rib, NOT from his feet to be walked on, and NOT from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the HEART to be loved.
  2. ****
  3. Women’s physical vulnerability is real, but men need not hold back in debate.- Mark Sherman

Should a wife clean after one’s poop?

Should a wife clean after one’s poop?

Pooping business (Photo by Tim Mossholder on Pexels.com)

People with bowel-diversion surgeries

defecate through a stoma, new opening on their tummy.

****

“Hi, I just finished my board meeting

in my hospital room (proudly).

I heard you want to see if

we are managing the stoma alright?”

***

“The last three months,

my wife manages it very well!

There is no bag leakage,

and the skin around the stoma is OK!”

****

His wife wrinkled her nose,

and proceeded to remove

his stoma bag full of faecal matter.

He was not looking at his stoma or the bag.

He was reading a large daily newspaper!

****

“Ok, now go to the bathroom and shower.”

“But, but water will go inside my stoma!”

“No, it won’t!”

***

He came out feeling fresh and happy

“This is the first time I bathe since operation!”

I guided his hands to apply the bag

over his stoma himself.

****

“Let prepare the bag for the next application.

When I come tomorrow, you will remove

and apply the bag yourself, will you?”

****

“Oh, it’s so easy to apply a stoma bag!

I was so scared to touch it before!”

… much to the relief of his wife!

****

No man would have wanted to do his business, and have his spouse to clean his bottom… or the stoma!

The nurses were afraid to slight him. And his spouse was reluctantly obedient. Sometimes, VIP patients need to counselled and coaxed!

Between changing a baby diaper and a grandparent’s!

Between changing a baby diaper and a grandparent’s!

****

“Cutie, cutie! Let papa change your diaper,

mummy’s in the kitchen getting your bottle!”

But papa was slow…

Cutie’s fountain shot into the air

splashed onto his face!

Papa was stunned!

****

“Mum, mum! Today I help uncle

changed granny’s diaper in the ward!”

Grandma had stroke and was incontinent.

Tommy was indeed,

an apple of granny’s eye!

Quote:-

“That people think they can talk to you about poop. ‘Oh, you have a new baby? Is she sleeping? Is she pooping?’ Normally I’d be blushing, but as a parent, you just get used to it, and pooping is just another verb in your vocabulary.” — Jimmy Fallon

I paused and look back.

out of 30,100 views this year

‘Perception varies‘ still leads.

I wrote it

on a financial post.

Will they understand

what I mean?

People views

on a life phenomenon varies.

Because each of us

underwent different experiences in life.

Thus, our worldviews

are from different angles.

A story can be the same.

But perception may varies.

Too generous a teaspoon salt!

Too generous a teaspoon salt!

Adding salt (Photo by DapurMelodi on Pexels.com

I was watching YouTube. This Italian granny chef was showing how she whipped up her dish.

Here she goes in the video…

“Now, a teaspoon of salt over the meat…” And she sprinkles … generously ( definitely more than one teaspoon)!

“Saute the garlic and onion in a little oil.

Stir in the meat and… and, add a teaspoon of salt…” There she goes again shaking the king of ingredients all over the pan… I am pretty sure that was more than a little teaspoon!

“Now, let’s do the pastry to wrap the meat.” Needless to say what she added to the flour…

***

I wonder if aging and loss of taste- buds, contribute to this phenomenon. Not to mention its added risk to those with hypertension!

***

Caution!

On another note, when giving hot drinks to the elderly, make sure it is not piping hot… and burn her lips, mouth and tongue!

She may not realize the heat till the burn hits in!

When lockdowns are off…

When lockdowns are off… (A Haiku)

When lockdowns are off... 
They will be at it again 
discharge and pollute!

Spew greenhouse gases 
more litters, draining sewers 
Beings in sea choke!

Inactivity 
ironically cleanses 
the environment!

The lockdowns are an experience globally! We learned to do almost everything online;- shopping, schooling, working from home, and more readings. I think a number of restless ones like me have gone into blogging!

With the industries shutting down, the rivers and seas seem cleaner. Will the water pollution come back again?

This blogger must be a pretty slim one!

This blogger must be a pretty slim one!

Whenever I read blog posts about diet to reduce weight or fat, my first impression is

“this blogger must be a pretty slim person!”

Sigh! It’s been an uphill challenge for many!

Batu Caves and Thaipusam

Batu Caves and Thaipusam

I brought an Australian colleague to Batu Caves once. We climbed up the 272 steps stairs to the entrance of the cave temple within the limestone hills.

  • Batu Caves, Gombak
  • colorful flights of steps
  • a Tamil school next to the temple.

When it was time to descend, I realized it looked dizzily steep with monkeys in between flights of steps.

Many local and international devotees carry kavadi from here during the Thaipusam festival.
