Errrrrrrr.....

I'm not sure this is a cause to be celebrating by eating molten chocolate cakes or lighting firecrackers over.

"The sacks will be distributed among taxi drivers free of charge at regular intervals, and will be attached to the riot plate that separates a driver from the passengers so that both can, if need be, spit into it."

Me no love washing dishes.

Subject: Words Women Use

A few days after I was sent this email, words 1. & 3. were used on DL (although it was not directed at him). To which the response was "when u said 'nothing is wrong, everything is fine' I knew there was everything wrong and nothing was fine... :P"

(mental note to make: remember to tell daughter to pick a guy with at least 1 sister)

***

1.) FINE : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are
right and you need to shut up.

2.) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an
hour. Five Minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given
five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3.) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something,
and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing
usually end in Fine.

4.) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement
often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an
idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and
arguing with you about
nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of Nothing.)

6.) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women
can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard
before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7.) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just
say you're welcome.

8.) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying F@!K YOU!

9.) Don't worry about it, I got it : Another dangerous statement,
meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several
times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man
asking, "what's wrong", for the woman's response refer to # 3.

Eating frenzy

Have been eating with wild abandon, almost like I'm living life of the metabolic cliffhanger. If this goes on it's definitely going to be suicidal. Not to mention in about a month it's time to head back to the-place-with-the-food-I-miss and that is going to mean - more food. Also with all the relentless relative meetups, I just simply cannot be looking plump/ fleshy/ flabby/ or in whatever undesireably horizontal fat buildup. No grumpiness in the new year, especially with DL around. So it's time for some well needed discipline, which should work since I'll be alone and bored in Beijing the whole of next week. I'll try to be really good friends with gym there. T-R-Y.
